Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Mining wastewaters, containing heavy metals such as copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), have a huge impact on the environment due to they are not biodegradable and tend to bioaccumulate in plants or living organisms. Therefore, in this work the performance of ion-exchange and solvent-impregnated resins were...Read more

Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
The aim of this paper is to assess the environmental risks associated with the wastewater reuse with respect to six metals; cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in the city of Dubai. Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) is used for landscape irrigation. Samples of...Read more

Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
To avoid any contamination risk of edible crops, the safety use of treated municipal wastewater is growing industrial non-food crops such aromatic plants to produce volatile oils for manufacturing soaps, cosmetics and perfumes, etc. Two field experiments were conducted in a sandy soil in western...Read more
