Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Statistical analysis and machine-learning algorithms have been actively applied to examine groundwater information to characterize the hydrogeochemical processes associated with the NORMs
Linear correlation and factor analysis have been used to characterize the behaviors of NORMs (Cho and Choo
machine-learning algorithms were developed to understand the behavior of NORMs
Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :As shown in Fig
the U removal percentage increased significantly with the increase of adsorbent dosage (m/V < 0.4 g/L)
while it increased slowly and even unchanged at m/V > 0.4 g/L
which was attributed to the aggregation of the adsorbents when the dosage was too high
thereby reducing the availability of the adsorbents (Li et al.
When the initial U concentration was low (Ci < 10 mg/L)
the U removal percentage on DM@Mg(Ca)Al-LDHX exceeded 99.7 % and the residual concentration of U in the solution was <0.03 mg/L
which had reached the limited standard of the World Health Organization (Sahoo et al.
indicating that DM@Mg(Ca)Al-LDHX would be a candidate material for the treatment of practical wastewater
S5 showed the desorption efficiency of DM@Mg(Ca)Al-LDHX in different eluants
Applied GeochemistryCitation Excerpt :Groundwater samples from Kanpur Nagar showed no correlation (r = 0.07
p ≤ 0.05) with Mn whereas moderate positive correlation was observed (r > 0.2
p ≤ fueled by Mn driven uranium oxidation to U(VI) (Riedel and Kübeck
Higher uranium mobility promoted by Mn in shallow aquifers of Kanpur Dehat is consistent with the recent findings from Greece (Kazakis et al.
as well as lab-based experimental studies (Wang et al.
The depth to the water level in general becomes shallower while moving away from the Yamuna River toward the main Ganga stream (CPCB
