The issue of carwash wastewater emerges as a pressing environmental concern on a global scale, primarily due to the intricate nature of its pollutants, which makes effective treatment a formidable challenge. In the face of this complex scenario, the pursuit of an efficient treatment methodology assumes paramount importance. In response to this complex scenario, this study ...

This study explores the optimization of membrane reactor configurations to enhance hydrogen production through CH4 tri-reforming. The investigation employs ceramic membranes for oxygen, vapor, and carbon dioxide distribution within the reactor bed. A differential evolution algorithm is utilized alongside cuckoo search al gorithm (CSA) and support vector regression (SVR) to ...

The objective of this study was to assess the performance of a Humidifier-Dehumidifier (HDH) desalination system paired with thermoelectric cooling, in order to achieve effective water desalination. The system employed the thermoelectric module’s heating and cooling capabilities to warm the water entering the HDH system and remove moisture from the humid air. An investigation ...

Metal plating industries generate wastewater containing heavy metals, necessitating effective treatment methods to mitigate environmental contamination. This study investigated the potential of banana peel-derived activated carbon (BPAC) and commercial activated carbon for heavy metal removal, addressing a pressing environmental concern. The analysis encompassed diverse pH ...

The study investigated the effectiveness of clarification of domestic wastewater of small sewerage facilities in the suspended bed of activated sludge. The research was conducted in semi-production and production conditions on the example of a small sewerage facility of East Kazakhstan region with discharge into the river Yertis. The purpose of the study is to develop an ...

Agricultural waste holds promise as an adsorbent in wastewater treatment; however, its potential remains understudied, particularly regarding biofunctionalized grape pomace, coffee husks, and corn cobs for carwash wastewater treatment, along with their integration with solar-powered UV-LED disinfection. This study explores the effectiveness of these bio-functionalized ...

A high-order optimal disturbance observer (HOODO) is introduced to precisely estimate the aerodynamic torque and the variable wind speed; and consequently calculate the optimal speed of the generator without measuring the wind speed. As the immeasurable wind speed is varying fast, the aerodynamic torque, which is considered as a disturbance, is also changed fast, then the ...

An analysis of the existing study of the redistribution of traction forces on the wheels of four-wheel drive wheeled vehicles and the need to take them into account when assessing the stability and efficiency of vehicles have been vehicleried out. Proposed phenomenon of redistribution of traction forces of vehicle is considered on front and rear drive wheels separately as ...
