The key role of contact time in elucidating the mechanisms of enhanced decontamination by Fe0/MnO2/sand systems

Abstract Metallic iron (Fe0) has shown outstanding performances for water decontamination and its efficiency has been improved by the presence of sand (Fe0/sand) and manganese oxide (Fe0/MnOx).In this study, a ternary Fe0/MnOx/sand system is characterized for its discoloration efficiency of methylene blue (MB) in quiescent batch studies for 7, 18,

Examining Motivation in Online Distance Learning Environments: Complex, Multifaceted, and Situation-Dependent

Existing research into motivation in online environments has tended to use one of two approaches.The first adopts a trait-like model that views motivation as a relatively stable, personal characteristic of the learner.Research from Hobs this perspective has contributed to the notion that online learners are, on the whole, intrinsically motivated.Th

Value-Driven System Design of Utility-Scale Airborne Wind Energy

In the current auction-based electricity market, the design of utility-scale renewable energy systems has traditionally been driven by the levelised cost of energy (LCoE).However, the market is gradually moving towards a subsidy-free era, which will expose the power plant owners to the fluctuating prices of electricity.This paper presents a computa
