This book was released on 2012 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work was carried out on Hydraulic conductivity and Sorptivity of Soils in the Forest Vegetative Zone of Nigeria. These are two important hydraulic parameters for flow and transport - related phenomenon in soil. They are useful in irrigation and drainage studies, erosion control, soil water balance and other sub - soil problems. Also knowledge of these can be used in predicting hydrological processes and managing agricultural practices for the improvement of agricultural productivity and ecosystem sustainability. The objectives of the work are to characterize the hydraulic properties of soils, establish the relationship between the pore structures and hydraulic conductivity of soils in the region and determine the infiltration characteristics of soils and its effects on management practices of agricultural production and ecosystem sustainability.The analysis also offers invaluable information on how to develop the best management practices for the improvement of agricultural productivity and ecosystem sustainability and should be especially useful to Scientists, Land managers, Growers, Soil & Water Engineers and environmentalists.

Download or read book Emerging Contaminants Vol 2 written by Nadia Morin-Crini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging contaminants are chemical and biological agents for which there is growing concern about their potential health and environmental effects. The threat lies in the fact that the sources, fate and toxicology of most of these compounds have not yet been studied. Emerging contaminants, therefore, include a large number of both recently discovered and well-known compounds such as rare earth elements, viruses, bacteria, nanomaterials, microplastics, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, hormones, personal care products, cosmetics, pesticides, surfactants and industrial chemicals. Emerging contaminants have been found in many daily products, and some of them accumulate in the food chain. Correlations have been observed between aquatic pollution by emerging contaminants and discharges from wastewater treatment plants. Most actual remediation methods are not effective at removing emerging contaminants. This second volume presents comprehensive knowledge on emerging contaminants with a focus on remediation.
Download or read book Clays and Clay Minerals written by Liam R. Wesley and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The peculiar characteristics of clays provide it with very interesting adsorption qualities, especially for polar or ionisable molecules. Some of these characteristics include the silicates' sheet structure that makes a large surface area accessible for adsorption; the usually significant surface charge that can be responsible for strong electrostatic interactions; and clays' swelling properties and presence of exchangeable surface cations that facilitate ion-exchange mechanisms. Added to their wide availability and associated low cost, these characteristics have motivated in recent years an increasing interest in utilising natural, processed or chemically-modified clays for the removal of organic contaminants from aqueous solutions. This book discusses the application of clay materials for the removal of organic compounds from contaminated waters. It also discusses several other topics that include time and temperature related behaviour of clays; mechanical treatment of clay minerals; the workability of natural clays and clays in the ceramics industry; recent advances in hydraulic performance of clay liners; and the genesis, properties and industrial applications of bauxitic lithomargic clay.
