Modeling Reaction Rate of Dispersion Coefficient and Oxygen Deficit on Nitrobacteria Transport in Onu-Imo River
Abstract: The migration rate of nitrobacteria in the Onu-Imo River was monitored based on some variables that determine the predictive model for such pollution transport. These parameters were factors applied in developing the derived model for the study. The variables were integrated into the system to monitor their various rates of impact on the transport process in the study environment. This was monitored by applying a one-dimensional flow transport system at …

Improving Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Properties of Zein/Polyvinyl Alcohol Polymer Composite Film by Dispersing TiO2 Nano Particles
Abstract: Zein/polyvinyl alcohol/nano-TiO2 composite film was effectively blended using a solution casting method. Mechanical, photocatalytic, and antibacterial properties of the composite film were evaluated. The breaking elongation of the composite film increased up to the maximum loading of 0.4% of nano-TiO2. The humidity and moisture content relationship was estimated with standard modified models of Halsey, Oswin, Chung Pfost, and Henderson. It was found that the Halsey model was the most suitable …
