The basin has a rectangular shape and covering an area of 571 km². The present hydrogeological investigations have revealed three inhomogeneous and anisotropic water bearing formations: Eocene Karstic Fissured Aquifer (EKFA), Intergranular Aquifer represented by Alluvium and Pliocene (AIA) & (PIA), as well as Miocene Complex Aquifer (MCA).For the first time, not only in Kurdistan but also in Iraq, Groundwater Vulnerability Map has been constructed in this study, using DRASTIC method with the assistance of Geographic Information System (GIS) to show zonation area of high and low groundwater susceptibility to pollution. Accordingly, vulnerability classes of the study area were classified into four classes. Most of the basin shows the highest extension of the zones with very low and low vulnerability zones, in contrast the zones with high vulnerability are distributed mainly in the mountain areas, solely in the eastern Uloblagh and Kuwaik mountains, in addition to that small zones in the farthest northern corner and south western corner of the area have less or no human activity.","PeriodicalId":14698,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Journal of Science","volume":"327 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140228469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sorption of oxytetracyclin, OTC, on an Iraqi certified clay mineral, the montmorillonite, is used as indicative for the success of the used treatments. Batch equilibration experiments were carried out to follow the sorption behavior of OTC on the clay. The concentration of OTC was determined by spectral absorption at 360 nm which presented excellent correlation with high performance liquid chromatography, HPLC, method over a wide range of concentration (R2 = 0.977). After equilibration of synthetic OTC solutions with the clay for various intervals of time and various pH values, the concentration of OTC was employed to estimate the sorption efficiency of montmorillonite. The pH of the solution has only minor effect on the sorption efficiency. The kinetic treatment of the sorption results indicated two distinctive steps for the adsorption of OTC on the clay. Montmorillonite was proved as a candidate sorption material for OTC ensuring a removal efficiency of (94-96%) even at low clay contents. Experimentally the OTC concentration could be decreased from 0.5 to 0.03 mol/L at a pH value of 5.5 by sorption onto 2.0 g clay (montmorillonite)/L.","PeriodicalId":14698,"journal":{"name":"Iraqi Journal of Science","volume":"12 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140227509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
