In this study, silica (Si) nanoparticles derived from rice husk ash is coated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant, and used as adsorbent of nitrate ion in wastewater. CTAB functionalized Si (CTAB-Si) nanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX), dynamic light scattering (DLS) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and...
Industrialization has a major impact on the ecosystem and the natural water composition particularly in places close to cities andmanufacturing areas. Copper (Cu2+) ion is one of the heavy metals present in the industrial effluent and is considered to be a toxicheavy-metal contaminant accounting to its extreme persistence and bioaccumulation. Current techniques for determining Cu2+ions...
Aquaponic systems are popular as sustainable food production methods, however it also experiences challenges in terms of monitoring the nutrient levels, specifically nitrate sufficiency. In this study a new method is proposed to monitor the nitrate sufficiency in aquaponic systems using leaf color recognition. To do this, a state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm is utilized, the...
