It is employed to biosorption Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) and combines the biosorption experiments with electrochemical measurements for in situ analysis. For the experiments, a batch system was employed with the dead biomass. In order to determine the biosorption capacity, the impact of several operational parameters was examined, including pH, temperature, agitation speed, contact time, and initial metal concentration, and the optimum values were 5, 30 °C, 150 rpm, 2 h, and 150 ppm, respectively. Using 0.2 g biomass in 100 mL solution, the maximal uptake of Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) at ideal conditions was determined to be 33.67, 24.51, and 36.76, respectively.

The thermochemical conversion of biomass to syngas is accomplished in a novel double-tapered reactor. The pre-processing stage of biomasses includes various shredding, drying, and sieving methods. In the processing stage, the biomass (20 g) is fed to the reactor regularly. The heating element in the interior of the reactor supplies the heat required (600-1000 °C) for the combustion and gasification of biomass samples.

The tapered reactor enhanced the bed hydrodynamics.

Water from an onsite reservoir was used to generate synthetic runoff and simulate flow through the swales. Inflow volume, total suspended sediment (TSS), nitrogen, phosphorus, and four total metals (copper, lead, zinc, and cadmium) were tested with simulated levels representing highway runoff. Efficiency ratios were used to estimate the reductions in inflow volume, pollutant concentrations, and mass loads. Swale length, shape, longitudinal slope, and storm size significantly influenced runoff volume reduction. The longer (30 m) trapezoidal swale constructed on the flatter (1%) longitudinal slope provided maximum reductions in sediment and heavy metal concentrations during small-medium storms. Larger storms had modestly reduced pollutant and volume mitigation. Effluent nutrient concentrations generally exceeded the influent exporting nitrogen and phosphorus from all swale configurations. Significantly better pollutant load reductions were provided by the longer swales for all pollutants, except dissolved phosphorus. Therefore, to optimize swale function, designers could maximize the swale length to the greatest extent practicable, particularly when swales receive inflow from end-of-pipe systems draining roadway surfaces.
