Adsorption behavior of cationic and anionic dyes onto acid treated coconut coir
(Taylor and Francis Group, LLC., 2013-09)The adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB) and Acid Orange 7 (AO7) from aqueous solutions by acid treated coconut coir was investigated under laboratory conditions to assess its potential in removing cationic and anionic dyes. ... -
Mineralization of Methyl Orange-containing wastewater by integrated anaerobic and aerobic processes using spent granular activated carbon-biofilm under sequencing batch reactor operation
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)Mineralization of azo dye required combination of anaerobic and aerobic processes either in two stages or single stage of treatment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the treatment performance in the decolorization ... -
Roles of imputation methods for filling the missing values: A review
(AENSI Publisher All rights reserved, 2013-10)Missing data are often encountered in many areas of research. Complete case analysis and indicator method can lead to serious bias. One of the comforting methods is implementation of imputation methods. The main purpose ... -
Performance of lightweight foamed concrete with replacement of concrete sludge aggregate as coarse aggregate
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)The use of waste materials in construction industry is very essential in order to reduce the depletion of natural sources. Thus, this study is focused to determine the performance of lightweight foamed concrete made with ... -
Microstructure studies on the effect of the alkaline activators of fly ash-based geopolymer at elevated heat treatment temperature
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Fly ash-based geopolymers are new binding materials produced to replace the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) used in concrete. In this research, the effect of alkaline activators on the compressive strength and the microstructure ... -
Evaluation of integrated anaerobic-aerobic biofilm reactor for degradation of azo dye methyl orange
(Elsevier Ltd., 2013-09)This study was to investigate the mineralization of wastewater containing methyl orange (MO) in integrated anaerobic-aerobic biofilm reactor with coconut fiber as bio-material. Different aeration periods (3. h in phase 1 ... -
Decolorization of methyl orange using upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor-An investigation of co-substrate and dye degradation kinetics
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)Decolorization of a synthetic wastewater containing Methyl Orange (MO) azo dye was performed in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. Color removal efficiencies approaching 94, 90 and 96% were obtained with ... -
Performance evaluation of okra (abelmoschus esculentus) as coagulant for turbidity removal in water treatment
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of turbidity removal in water by using Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) as natural coagulant. The coagulation active agent in various Okra sections was extracted with ... -
Microstructure study on volcano ash geopolymer aggregate at different sintering temperature
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)Recent research shows that the by-product materials such as fly ash can be used as raw material in producing aggregates and lightweight aggregates. The usage of this material can improve the quality of the aggregates ... -
Mean imputation techniques for filling the missing observations in air pollution dataset
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)Almost all real life datasets consist missing values. These are usually due to machine failure, routine maintenance, changes in siting monitors and human error. The occurence of missing values requires special attention ... -
The effects of fly ash and polystyrene bead additions on compressive strength of foamed cement composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)The effects of both additions of fly ash and polystyrene (PS) beads were studied on compressive strength of foamed cement composites. The increasing amount of fly ash addition up to 6 wt. % has been found to increase the ... -
