abstract = {The management of petrochemical incinerator bottom ash (PI-BA) is a matter of considerable environmental concern. In this study, Stabilization/Solidification (S/S) of PI-BA is carried out using cement, silica fume and nano-SiO2. PI-BA replaces as fine aggregate at different wt% concentrations including 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 in cement-mortars. Also, silica fume (5, 10 wt%) and nano-SiO2 (1.5, 3 wt%) substitute the cement simultaneously. The S/S products are evaluated based on their unconfined compressive strength and leachability (TCLP). Considering the results obtained in the first phase, the replacement should not exceed 45 wt% in terms of heavy metal leaching from specimens and further investigation (SEM, XRD, and NEN7375) were applied. This study shows that the use of 45% PI-BA with 10% Silica-fume replacement has the potential of reuse PI-BA as fine aggregate in the construction of concrete …

abstract = {In this study, application of integrated anaerobic-aerobic membrane sequencing batch reactor (MSBR) for treatment of an azo dye-containing wastewater was investigated. For this purpose, three lab-scale MSBR systems were operated at various hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 48, 24 and 16 h with constant value of solid retention time (SRT) for all reactors. The treatment performance and the decolorization kinetic of the systems as well the fouling rate of the membranes were evaluated during the experiment period. Based on the results, COD removal efficiency was not significantly influenced by HRT, while the decolorization efficiencies declined considerably by decreasing the HRT. Incomplete decolorization of the dye, even during the longest anaerobic stage (HRT of 48 h), revealed that a longer anaerobic period was still required for complete decolorization of the selected dye. Decolorization profiles of all MSBRs followed zero-order kinetics. These profiles experienced faster descending rates at lower HRTs. Lower HRTs of 16 and 24 h resulted in higher TMP (transmembrane pressure) rising rates. The most acceptable performance of the MSBR system from the viewpoint of decolorization efficiency and membrane fouling was obtained for the MSBR operating at the highest HRT (48 h).},

abstract = {This study dealt with a sand-bentonite mixture that was exposed to different concentrations of diesel and lead (II) simultaneously in order to address the effects of these contaminants on some of the physical and mechanical variations in the sand-bentonite mixture. To accomplish the stated objectives, an extensive series of tests including compaction, direct shear, and permeability, were performed. Furthermore, the characterization experiments focused on in this study included the determination of changes in the pH, EC and microstructure characteristics of the samples with regard to different concentrations of the aforementioned contaminants. The results indicated that in the samples with different concentrations of lead (II), the presence of diesel caused an approximately 6% increase and 45–۵۰% decrease in the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content, respectively. Although the effects of the lead and diesel were in the same direction in the compaction test, they had an adverse effect on the direct shear and permeability tests. The thickness of the diffused double layer was seen as a contributing factor in the performance of the clay part. Also, the pH decreased while the EC increased due to the lead contaminant. These parameters did not change significantly with the addition of diesel to the samples. Moreover, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed an aggregate structure with more macropores due to lead contamination. Diesel enlarged the size of the particles by flocculation as well. As a result, by adding diesel to the lead-contaminated samples, the number of voids decreased as they became filled with diesel.},

abstract = {In this study, the advantages and limitations, given the rules and regulations in Iran, of implementing an integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach are analyzed. As IWRM does not exist at the level of basin in Iran, it is suggested that the legal framework for the establishment of IWRM eventually be initiated with consideration given the structural complexities of water management systems at a national level. Such an approach is generally missing in Iran, and sustainable solutions are necessary for the all-round development of the country as pertains to water. In addition, the environmental degradation of water and soil in basins has resulted in the migration of people from rural areas to urban regions. All these factors have contributed to the great complexity of Iran’s IWRM. With the principles of the establishment of IWRM across water basins in mind, this study investigated and ultimately presented proposals and solutions for modifying the rights and rules of the water in basins. The results indicated that the best solution for solving the problems associated with IWRM is ever-increasing interaction between the beneficiaries and the tools available for achieving a sustainable IWRM strategy in Iran.},

abstract = {Lack of aboriginal governance model, which is appropriate to national, cultural and ideological circumstances of Iran, is one of the most important problems in the development process of Iran. This paper used Meta-Analysis Method (MAM) to combine the findings of other researches and tries to take a step forward in developing the Iranian Governance model. In this study, 68 articles and reports about governance issues published in the period from 2003 to 2015 have been studied. These articles have been obtained from the four main scientific databases in two main parts including descriptive finding and analytic qualitative finding. In the descriptive part, we used six indicators for description of the articles includes types of article, publishing period, typology, researchers’ gender, geographical distribution, and research methods. Quiddity, knowing why and knowing how were the three main indicators, due to the Belicky's research, for the analytical part. The results of the meta-analysis showed that Iranian researches in the field of governance are in the scope of knowing why and their articles are more about quiddity of governance and why governance models are needed. Although there are some serious criticisms for this theory,“Good governance” is the dominant theory among Iranian researchers. Some researchers have developed “Islamic Good Governance” models but these recommendations seem too intellectual and theoretical and because of the paradoxical roots they will not be very useful.

abstract = {1. Introduction: Adsorption has been proved to be the best process of water treatment because of its significant advantages. Clays and their minerals are abundant and cheap material successfully used for decades as an adsorbent for removing toxic heavy metals from aqueous solutions (Kashif Uddin., 2017). Environmental pollutants and their toxicity cause a major problem worldwide. New pollutants keep emerging and pose severe health and scientific challenges. Water pollution is one of the biggest environmental issue causing serious problems to living beings. The removal of various toxic substances from water and wastewater has been a core interest of many scientists and researchers around the globe over the past decades. Dyeing, battery, printing, mining, metallurgical engineering, electroplating, pigment, PVC stabilizers, nuclear power operations, electric appliances manufacturing, semiconductor, cosmetics, and so on belong to industries that generate various types of pollutants in wastewater effluent [Ali et al., 2007; Gupta et al., 2009]. By construction of engineered landfills, we can prevent the groundwater pollution. In industrialized countries, the use of compacted sand-bentonite mixture (SEB) alternatives to clay Liners due to low permeability and lack of vulnerability caused shrinkage cracks (Alston et al., 1997)...},

Investigating the characteristics of batch filtration phases illustrated different TMP (Transmembrane Pressure) changing trends at the two HRTs. In SBMBR1, TMP rising rates per cycle were remarkably high and represented an increasing trend versus the filtration number, while in SBMBR2, TMP rising rates per cycle were comparatively low and did not change much with increase of the number of filtration. Larger particle sizes of the bulk sludge resulted in formation of a reversible cake layer on the membrane surface in SBMBR1. In the contrary, smaller particle sizes of the bulk sludge in SBMBR2 induced an internal pore blocking of the membrane, which was less reversible. In addition to cake layer formation, higher SMP content of the bulk sludge along with the accelerating effect of the higher filtration frequency resulted in the higher values of TMP rising rate per cycle in SBMBR1. },

abstract = {The Urmia Lake is one of the largest and most important natural ecosystems in Iran. Temperature increases, high fluctuation in rainfall, and frequent droughts have caused high fluctuations in the lake water level. In this research, the monthly change of the Urmia Lake water level under the climate change condition was simulated by the Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) from 2000-2100 by the HadCM3 model under SRES emission scenario (A2 and B2). Monthly inputs to the model are the rain on the lake, the temperature mean values, and the total inflow discharge. The effect of climate change on future water level based on the projection of the results from HadCM3 model under A2 scenario has shown the increase in average annual temperature and decrease in average annual lake level by 2.80°C and 4.60m, respectively. The B2 scenario model predicted increase in the average annual temperature and decrease in the average annual lake level by 2.35°C and 3.93 m, respectively. Comparin the A2 and B2 scenarios, it was concluded that the A2 scenario predicted a more critical state for the Urmia Lake.},
