Transportation and translocation of non-native species by ships through ballast water is one
of the current issues the ship** industry is trying to address. The Ballast Water Convention …

Hydrodynamic cavitation has been effectively proven to be an efficient advanced oxidation
process on an industrial scale. The utility of hydrodynamic cavitation for microbial …

Zooplankton taxa including cladocerans and rotifers are one of the greatest challenges for
effective management of High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAPs) for wastewater treatment as they …

In this study, the amount of heavy metals such as Ni, Cd, Pb and Cu and some
physiochemical factors including pH, temperature and total organic carbon (TOC) in the …

In this work, we studied several manufacture characteristics of various metal catalysts of Ni,
Co, Cu, and Fe for the catalytic decomposition of a sodium hypochlorite solution. The metal …

The ballast water from ships carries marine organisms that have invasive potential. The
International Maritime Organization Ballast Water Management Convention (2004) requires …

Ship-borne ballast water contributes significantly to the transfer of non-indigenous species
across aquatic environments. To reduce the risk of bio-invasion, ballast water should be …

The uptake and discharge of bivalve larvae through ballast water operations is a highly
viable mechanism for transfer of shellfish. In this paper, we investigate the effects of common …

Advanced oxidation processes/technologies (AOT) that combine a semiconductor, such as
titanium dioxide (T i O 2), with a UV source have been used to eliminate microorganisms in …

1.1 Background: Oceans contribute 97% of the world's water availability while balance
remains mainly with glaciers and a small amount of fresh water and ground water. Coastal …
