Harmful Algae Blooms in Drinking Water Removal of Cyanobacterial Cells and Toxins

Harmful Algae Blooms in Drinking Water Removal of Cyanobacterial Cells and Toxins

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occurring in freshwater and the associated toxins they produce are dangerous to animals and humans. Mitigating the increasing presence of HABs presents a major challenge to water managers and drinking water utilities across the world. This book explores the current research on removal of HABs and toxins from drinking water. It provides the necessary tools so that treatment plant operators engineers and water managers can understand the vulnerability of drinking water treatment plants to HABs and develop treatment processes to minimize the impact of these contaminants. Although conventional treatment processes can be effective for the removal of HAB cells and some HAB toxins under optimal conditions the potential exists for significant breakthrough of toxins during normal operation. As a result there is a recognized need for more advanced techniques. Possible advanced processes for removing HAB toxins include granular activated carbon (GAC) powdered activated carbon (PAC) or oxidative processes. This book reviews both conventional and advanced treatment processes and presents clear and easy-to-understand procedures for the design of systems for optimal cell or toxin removal. | Harmful Algae Blooms in Drinking Water Removal of Cyanobacterial Cells and Toxins

Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

In the Eastern corridor of Northern region of Ghana presence of high fluoride concentration in the groundwater has made many drilled boreholes unusable for drinking. Little is however known about the factors contributing to the occurrence of high fluoride in this part of Ghana and it’s spatial distribution. Treatment of the fluoride-contaminated groundwater by adsorption is also hampered by the lack of suitable adsorbents that are locally available. Based on principal component analysis and saturation indices calculations this thesis highlights that the predominant mechanisms controlling the fluoride enrichment probably include calcite precipitation and Na/Ca exchange processes both of which deplete Ca from the groundwater and promote the dissolution of fluorite. The mechanisms also include F-/OH- anion exchange processes as well as evapotranspiration processes which concentrate the fluoride ions hence increasing its concentration in the groundwater. Spatial mapping showed that the high fluoride groundwaters occur predominantly in the Saboba Cheriponi and Yendi districts. The thesis further highlights that modifying the surface of indigenous materials by an aluminium coating process is a very promising approach to develop a suitable fluoride adsorbent. Aluminum oxide coated media reduced fluoride in water from 5. 0 ± 0. 2 mg/L to ≤ 1. 5 mg/L (which is the WHO health based guideline for fluoride) in both batch and continuous flow column experiments in the laboratory. Kinetic and isotherm studies thermodynamic calculations as well as analytical results from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy suggest the mechanism of fluoride adsorption onto aluminium oxide coated media involved both physisorption and chemisorption processes. Field testing in a fluoritic community in Northern Ghana showed that the adsorbent is also capable of treating fluoride-contaminated groundwater in field conditions suggesting it is a promising defluoridation adsorbent. The adsorbent also showed good regenerability potential that would allow re-use which could make it practically and economically viable. Additional research is however required to further increase the fluoride adsorption capacity of developed adsorbent. | Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

State-Business Relations and Economic Development in Africa and India

State-Business Relations and Economic Development in Africa and India

When the state and business interact effectively they can promote a more efficient allocation of scarce resources appropriate industrial policy and a more effective and prioritised removal of key obstacles to growth than when the two sides fail to co-operate or engage in harmful collusion. This book based on original empirical research undertaken in Africa and India addresses what constitutes the effectiveness of state-business relations what explains their formation and evolution over time and whether effective state-business relations matter for economic performance. Analysing the effects of state-business relations on economic performance at both the macro and micro levels the book concludes that where effective state-business relations are established – either through formal or informal institutional patterns and relationships – the growth effects are generally positive. Establishing sustaining and renewing effective state-business relations are political processes. The better organized the business community and the government are for purposes of such relations the more effective state-business relations will be in negotiating growth enhancing policies. The book is of interest to researchers in the fields of development studies management economics and political science. | State-Business Relations and Economic Development in Africa and India

Biological and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests

Biological and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests

Pest and disease management continues to challenge the agricultural community. The rise in new pest and crop problems juxtaposed with public concern over pesticide use and more stringent environmental regulations creates the need for today's agricultural producers to stay current with new technologies for producing quality crops profitably. Biological and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests presents an overview of alternative measures to traditional pest management practices utilizing biological control and biotechnology. The removal of some highly effective broad-spectrum chemicals caused by concerns over environmental health and public safety has resulted in the development of alternative reduced risk crop protection products. These products less toxic to the environment and easily integrated into biological control systems target specific life stages or pest species. Predation - recognized as a suitable long term strategy - effectively suppresses pests in biotechnological control systems. Biological and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests covers these topics and more. It explores the current approaches in alternative solutions such as: biological control agents parasites and predators pathogenic microorganisms pheromones botanical insecticides genetic control genetic engineering of plants and biocontrol agents and government regulations for biocontrol agents and recombinant DNA technology. This book will be a useful resource to entomologists agronomists horticulturists and environmental scientists.

Novel Bioremediation Processes for Treatment of Seleniferous Soils and Sediment

Novel Bioremediation Processes for Treatment of Seleniferous Soils and Sediment

The aim of this Ph. D. was to develop a technology for the remediation of seleniferous soils/sediments and to explore microbial reduction of selenium oxyanions under different respiration conditions and bioreactor configurations. Seleniferous soil collected from the wheat-grown agricultural land in Punjab (India) was characterized and its soil washing was optimized by varying parameters where addition of oxidizing agents showed a maximum selenium removal efficiency. Aquatic plants Lemna minor and Egeria densa were used to study phytoremediation of the selenium-rich soil leachate containing oxidizing agents. Additionally migration of the soluble selenium fraction from the upper to the lower layers and its subsequent reduction and accumulation in the lower layers of the soil column was observed during soil flushing. Furthermore the soil leachate containing selenium oxyanions obtained from soil washing was treated in a UASB reactor by varying the organic feed. Ex situ bioremediation of selenium oxyanions was studied under variable conditions. An aerobic bacterium (Delftia lacustris) capable of transforming selenate and selenite to elemental selenium was isolated and characterized. Anaerobic bioreduction of selenate coupled to methane oxidation was investigated in serum bottles and a biotrickling filter using marine sediment as inoculum. Finally the effect of contamination of other chalcogen oxyanions (tellurium) on selenium bioreduction was studied in a continuous system (UASB reactor). | Novel Bioremediation Processes for Treatment of Seleniferous Soils and Sediment
