Catalytic destruction of aromatic VOCs on SCR-DeNOx commercial catalyst
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 6 › Nr. 1 AbstractAromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) proved to have enhanced polluting behavior upon the atmosphere and human health. Their catalytic destruction is an alternative for environmental pollution reduction in the case of gaseous emissions with low contents of VOC.In this paper, an experimental study is presented, concerning the conversion of benzene and its mono-halogenated derivatives on SCR-DeNOx (V2O5-WO3/TiO2) commercial catalyst, specific for the reduction process of nitrogen oxid...

Methyl tert- butyl ether occurrence and degradation in water
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 6 › Nr. 2 The use of gasoline oxygenated with MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) reduced significantly air pollution (16 - 23% lower emissions of CO and 18% lower emissions of unburned hydrocarbons) but increased water pollution. There is no European or national regulations for MTBE in drinking water except for Denmark, which has set a limit value of 30 µg/ L for MTBE. USEPA proposed a maximum concentration of 20- 40 µg/L. This paper is a review with 70 references on the MTBE production, use, properties and...

Costs evaluation for ballast water treatment applying the advanced oxidation technology
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 8 › Nr. 6 Abstract
Ballast water is used to supply stability on ships that have no load. It is loaded on before departure and often carries stowaways in the form of tiny organisms. To avoid that, the ballast water can be treated on board. Treating ballast water to free it from potentially harmful invasive species is a challenging problem. Alfa Laval in cooperation with Wallenius Water has been developed one system that cleans ballast water during ballasting and de ballasting operation. The paper presen...

PROXY EXPOSURE INDICATORS FOR INDOOR AIR POLLUTION, HEALTH IMPACT AND DEPRIVATION IN THE MARCHE REGION, ITALY
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 10 Literature supports the correlation between worse indoor air quality, lower socio-economic status and disease, such as asthma, Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis (EAA) and Carbon Monoxide Intoxication (COI). In order to determine the extent of the phenomenon
in the Marche Region, hospitalization risk for asthma, EAA and CO intoxication was assessed in association with Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) air concentration and socio-economic Deprivation Index (DI). Hospital discharge records of residents o... Autori: Katiuscia Di Biagio ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28294
UTAQ, A TOOL TO MANAGE THE SEVERE AIR POLLUTION EPISODES
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 10 The Urban Tool for Air Quality (UTAQ) is a project funded by CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) - ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). UTAQ is a web-based tool with a user-friendly interface that allows users
to evaluate current and forecasted air quality for the following 4 days at urban scale with high resolution (10-50 m). UTAQ, in the mobile version, allows citizens to evaluate and then to limit their air quality exposition thanks to the personal position...

SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION OF AN EFFICIENT DEGREASING AGENT FOR OILY DRILLING CUTTINGS
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 11 Oil-based drilling fluids are widely used in oil and gas exploration and development. Large amounts of oily drilling cuttings are produced in the drilling process, and improper treatment can cause serious secondary pollution. Chemical cleaning is commonly
used to treat oily drilling cuttings. However, most degreasing agents are not environmentally friendly and can cause secondary pollution. Thus, the processing requirements of oily cuttings are difficult to meet. In this study, an environmental... Autori: Zhiyong Li ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28313
EFFECTS OF RAINFALL ON REDUCTION OF URBAN NON-POINT SOURCE POLLUTION LOAD IN A LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID) RESIDENCE COMMUNITY IN SHAANXI, CHINA
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 11 In order to study the influence of different rainfall processes on the total pollutant load of non-point sources and pollutant load reduction rate of the low-impact development facilities, this paper took a Low Impact Development (LID) community of Tianfuheyuan, Fengxi new city, Xixian new district in Shaanxi, China as an example, and constructed the storm water management model (SWMM) of the study area. The computed results demonstrate that the storm patterns have obvious effects on the polluta... Autori: Yu Tong ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28321
APPLICATION OF PASSIVE SAMPLERS FOR MONITORING O3 AND NO2 AND CORRELATION OF CONCENTRATION LEVELS WITH METEOROLOGICAL DATA
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 11 This research applied passive air pollution samplers to monitor the concentration of the pollutants nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) in order to investigate the relationships between pollutant concentrations and meteorological variables. The study was carried out in three strategic sites in the municipality of Erechim, Brazil, which provide intense traffic of small and large vehicles. The pollutant analyses were performed using the method of UV/VIS spectrophotometry. NO2 concentrations vari... Autori: Eduardo Pavan Korf ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28326
SALINE-SODIC SOIL RECLAMATION WITH STABILIZED SEWAGE SLUDGE AND RECYCLED WASTEWATER
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 12 Saline-sodic soil reclamation can be enhanced with a sustainable and environmental approach by using organic waste materials. Moreover, wastewater can be used in leaching processes to protect freshwater resources in regions with water shortages. The aim
of this study was to reclaim saline-sodic soil by using recycled wastewater and stabilized sewage sludge together with gypsum. The experiment was designed with three replicates using four different sewage sludge doses (0, 4, 8 and 12 kg m-2), an...

APPRAISAL OF HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION IN ROAD DUST AND HUMAN HEALTH RISK IN A MUNICIPALITY OF BANGLADESH
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 12 Road dust from atmospheric deposition is considered as one of the significant environmental pollutants for containing toxic heavy metals. In this connection, to explore the present scenario of urban contamination and potential health risk of heavy metals present in road dust; this study was carried out in Tangail Municipality Area of Bangladesh. Road dust samples were collected seasonally from five different sampling sites encompassing different traffic homogeneity. Collected samples were proces...

APPLICATION OF THE AGRO-HYDROLOGIC SWAT MODEL ON THE TAABO RIVER BASIN (CÔTE D’IVOIRE) TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF THREE VEGETATIVE FILTER STRIP SCENARIOS ON STREAMFLOW AND NUTRIENTS
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 20 › Nr. 1 Côte d'Ivoire is one of the world's leading producers and exporters of agricultural products. Unfortunately, the multiplicity of stakeholders in this sector and the absence of legislation and regulations have contributed to the pollution of the various hydro systems, particularly those of Taabo river basin. The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to test the applicability of three vegetative filter strips scenarios to m...
