The initial 20 min of adsorption resulted in the maximum adsorption rate, with the total THMs, total HANs, and total Mix-THMs & HANs being 4.972, 2.071, and 6.460 µg/gGAC-min, respectively. GAC dosage affects the adsorption selectivity of THMs and HANs. Under a low GAC dosage, the selectivity of GAC adsorbs more bromo-THMs than chloro-THMs. The adsorption selectivity of THMs on GAC following bromoform > dibromochloromethane > bromodichloromethane > chloroform was investigated. As the GAC concentration increased, the selectivity of THM adsorption by GAC became comparable. Chloro-HAN, in contrast to THMs, has a higher adsorption selectivity than bromo-HAN. Trichloroacetonitrile was removed by GAC more rapidly than the other HAN species when the GAC dose was increased. The toxin of bromoform was primarily eliminated through GAC adsorption, caused by a greater removal rate than that of the other THMs. As an implemented measure, GAC is introduced to reduce THMs and HANs and the toxic contents associated with THMs and HANs.","PeriodicalId":15733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A","volume":"49 1","pages":"369-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252007","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 effects of pH, dye concentration, temperature, and H2O2 concentration on the decolourisation of MO and RB were determined. According to the results of various parameters studied, when 2-AEPS-napht-HRP support was used, MO and RB were biodegraded to 69.72% and 80.65%, respectively, within 60 min. When 2-AEPS-napht-Pd-HRP support was used, MO and RB were biodegraded to 58.35% and 90.81%, respectively, under optimum conditions. When the reproducibility results of the immobilized supports were examined, it was observed that they remained efficient during the first five reusability cycles and even reached 65% decolourisation efficiency after the 9th reuse. The immobilized enzyme (2AEPS-npht-HRP and 2AEPS-npht-Pd-HRP) showed remarkable resistance to higher temperatures compared to the free enzyme.","PeriodicalId":15733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207034","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}

Nonetheless, an effective water-purification system is necessary to achieve high and stable yields of fish and vegetables. This study aimed to evaluate the nitrification and oxygen transfer performance of a laboratory-scale down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor with a Brassica oleracea aquaponics system to treat water in an Oreochromis niloticus closed-aquaculture system. The DHS reactor showed a higher oxygen transfer coefficient (KLa) than the conventional aerator and provided an adequate dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of approximately 5.5 mg/L essential for O. niloticus growth throughout the experimental period. The evaluated DHS-based aquaponic system maintained high water quality in an aquaculture tank, with a survival rate of 97%. The O. niloticusgrew at a low feed conversion ratio of 1.5-2.1 and a low feeding rate of 0.5% at high stocking densities of 17.5-22.2 kg-fish-weight/m3. 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that the DHS sponge carrier effectively retained nitrifying bacteria such as Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira. This study demonstrated that the DHS reactor provided a high DO concentration and that a simultaneous DHS reactor with a hydroponic tank provided a low-cost aquaponic system that could be applied for food production in the aquaculture industry.","PeriodicalId":15733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A","volume":"57 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207035","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}
