Waste treatment in the industry produce sludge from the settling of solid material as a by product of the treatment process. The resulting sludge can’t be thrown away in large quantities because it can cause problems if there is still water content in it especially for industrial centers located around residential areas. So that filtration is carried out on the sludge from the Sedimentation Tub at the WWTP know in the area of Lamper, Semarang with the aim of reducing the volume of sludge by separating the water from the sludge before being discharged. The results of the analysis of the sludge filtration in the Settling Basin at WWTP obtained the value of cake resistance at a pressure of 75 kg / m2 of 4.42E + 11 m/kg, at a pressure of 90 kg/m2 of 5.62E + 11 m/kg and at a pressure of 104 kg/m2 of 6.74E + 11 m/kg. The results of the analysis on the resistance value of the filter medium obtained a value of 1.59E+12m-1 at a pressure of 75 kg/m2, 1.23E+12 m-1 at a pressure of 90 kg/m2 and 1.61E+12 m-1 at a pressure of 104 kg/m2. While in the analysis of water content, at a pressure of 75 kg/m2 obtained a value of 35.437%, at a pressure of 90 kg/m2 obtained a value of 35.024%, and at a pressure of 104 kg/m2 obtained a value of 34.024%. Efficiency The optimal pressure is 104 kg/m2.

Hydraulic conductivity of sand-bentonite (SB) backfills amended with polyanionic cellulose (PAC) to lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) solutions was evaluated experimentally in this study. PAC-amended sand-bentonite (PSB) backfills were synthesized by mixing sand-bentonite mixture with 0.3 to 1.2% dry PAC (by total dry mixture mass) and mixed with a certain weight of conventional bentonite (CB) slurry. The rheology properties including the filtrate loss, viscosity, density, and pH testes of slurry with various bentonite dosages were measured to determine the reasonable CB dosage of slurry. The slump tests on PSB backfills with various mass slurries were conducted to determine the corresponding water content of backfills with slump 125 ± 5 mm. Under the applied pressure 100 kPa, the hydraulic conductivity to Pb(NO3)2 solutions (kc) of PSB backfills with various PAC contents was evaluated based on the modified filter press (MFP) tests, to ascertain the optimum PAC content of PSB backfills when permeated with Pb(NO3)2 solutions. Index properties, including the specific gravity (Gs) and liquid limit (wL) of PSB backfills, were measured after MFP tests. The MFP tests for PSB backfills were then conducted under various applied pressures to obtain the relationship between void ratio (e) and hydraulic conductivity of backfills. Finally, the flexible-wall permeability test (FWP test) under osmotic pressure 100 kPa was conducted to verify the effectiveness of the MFP test. The results indicate that slurry with 8% bentonite dosage is the reasonable choice in slurry wall construction. PSB has lower GS and higher wL compared to SB; increasing Pb concentration leads to GS of PSB increased and wL of PSB decreased. PSB with 0.6% PAC content is supposed as the optimum proportion of backfills when permeated with concentrated Pb(NO3)2 solution. PAC adsorbs large amount of bound water, which leads to higher water content (w) and e of PSB backfills, while lead ions (Pb) cause the diffuse double layer (DDL) of bentonite compressed and e of PSB backfills reduced. The kc of PSB-0.6 remains lower than 10−9 m/s and increases less than 10 times though the Pb concentration was up to 500 mM, demonstrating that the hydraulic performance of backfills can be improved effectively in Pb(NO3)2 solution by the additive PAC. The comparison results between k from MFP tests and FWP tests show that the MFP test is an effective and easy evaluation of hydraulic conductivity of backfills.

<p><em>Physicochemical properties are one of the parameters of honey quality that impacts the sales of honey as well as the economy condition of the society in Ciwidey and Bogor. The physicochemical properties of honey are significantly influenced by the origin of the honey, including its geographical location and vegetation. This study aims to determine the physicochemical properties between multiflora honey from Ciwidey and Bogor with different source of nectar where Ciwidey honey is dominated by calliandra nectar while Bogor honey is dominated by kapok nectar. Data were analyzed with descriptive and quantitative method using independent t test for data with normal distribution (water content and reducing sugar content). Data that were not normally distributed (color analysis and acidity value) were tested non-parametrically with the Mann Whitney-U.

Abstract A new technique for measuring the monolayer water content of fiber is presented. Tritiated water is added to a pulp/water suspension, whereupon the tritium partitions between the bulk water and the pulp. In the pulp phase the tritium can exchange with free water, bound water, and with hydroxyl and other protons present in the pulp matrix. The free water in the pulp is then removed by displacement with acetone. The tritium remaining in the pulp is mostly associated with tightly bound water, with a small fraction being tied up with the exchangeable hydrogen in pulp. The procedure provides a value of 10% for the tightly bound water content of hardwood or softwood fiber, either bleached or unbleached. If this water is assumed to cover the fiber surface as a monolayer, then an estimate of the wet surface area of the fiber can be obtained. This estimate compares well with independent measurements of surface area.

Laboratory and field experiments on hardness of snow have shown that the free water contained in snow decreases its hardness, and that solar radiation further decreases hardness down to a value below the limit of that which would result only from the influence of the water content of snow. A quantitative relationship between the amount of solar radiation absorbed by snow and decrease in snow hardness was derived. Thin-section analyses of snow were used to reveal the mechanism of decrease in snow hardness which had been caused by solar radiation.

Application of electroosmosis to conventional filter press dehydrators has been studied to decrease water content in the sludge generated from waste water treatment process. Experiments realized the reduction of water content in the biological excess activated sludge down to 50-60%, which had never been achieved by the conventional dewatering method. The new method has been commercialized by pre-concentration of the excess activated sludge, addition of electrolyte, and development of special carbon electrodes. Moreover, observation using a scanning electron microscope enabled us to demonstrate the suitability of the PED process to the excess activated sludge. The newly-developed dehydrators and processes have been operating successfully at three commercial plants for the first time in the world.

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) is the largest city in Vietnam, with the highest economic growth rate and the most populous density in the country. By the year 2019, HCMC currently has 8.99 million people with 24 districts. Ho Chi Minh city has robust industrial and service development; therefore, HCMC focuses on developing large-scale livestock facilities with a large number of pigs and limiting small livestock facilities. According to statistic data, HCMC has a total of 290.152 pigs in 2018. These livestock facilities are mainly built in Cu Chi, Hoc Mon, Binh Chanh, Can Gio, and Nha Be districts. These livestock facilities in HCMC have inefficient waste treatment systems located interleaved with residential areas. So that, environmental issues are also a big challenge for the city's government because of the great influence of odor on the surrounding environment causing by the wind direction. The main purposes of this study are (i) calculation of odor emissions from livestock facilities, (ii) simulation of the odor from livestock facilities , and (iii) development of the safe distance of odor for livestock facilities in HCMC. The study results show that, the concertrations from livestock facilitties with capacity from from 50 to 200 pigs and 200 to 500 pigs are lower than QCVN 06:2009/BTNMT. The minimum distance for the livestock facility with capacity from over 500 to 1,000 pigs and over 1,000 pigs to the residential area are 230m and 650m, respectively. The procedure for calculating the odor isolation distance developing in this study could apply for other livestock facilities in other provinces, cities.
