Multivariate modeling of the Fenton process for enhanced COD removal and low sludge generation in landfill leachate treatment by Nader Biglarijoo, Amin Shams

“…Conventionally, the main purpose of Fenton reaction has been the removal of organic pollutants, but in this paper, two other factors including sludge to iron ratio (SIR) and organic removal to sludge ratio (ORSR) are examined to generate low amounts of sludge as well. For the design of the experimental procedure, central composite design was used to not only minimize the required tests, but also observe the interactions between factors. …”

Impact of Climate Change on Hydrologic Extremes in the Upper Basin of the Yellow River Basin of China by Jun Wang, Zhongmin Liang, Dong Wang, Tian Liu, Jing Yang

“…To reveal the revolution law of hydrologic extremes in the next 50 years and analyze the impact of climate change on hydrologic extremes, the following main works were carried on: firstly, the long duration (15 d, 30 d, and 60 d) rainfall extremes according to observed time-series and forecast time-series by dynamical climate model product (BCC-CSM-1.1) were deduced, respectively, on the basis that the quantitative estimation of the impact of climate change on rainfall extremes was conducted; secondly, the SWAT model was used to deduce design flood with the input of design rainfall for the next 50 years. …”
