The global olive oil production for 2010 is estimated to be 2,881,500 metric tons. The European Union countries produce 78.5 % of the total olive oil, which stands for an average production of 2,136,000 tons. The worldwide consumption of olive oil increased of 78 % between 1990 and 2010. The increase in olive oil production implies a proportional increase in olive mill wastes. As a consequence of such increasing trend, olive mills are facing severe environmental problems due to lack of feasible and/or cost-effective solutions to olive-mill waste management. Therefore, immediate attention is required to find a proper way of management to deal with olive mill waste materials in order to minimize environmental pollution and associated health risks. One of the interesting uses of solid wastes generated from olive mills is to convert them as inexpensive adsorbents for water pollution control. In this review paper, an extensive list of adsorbents (prepared by utilizing different types of olive mill solid waste materials) from vast literature has been compiled, and their adsorption capacities for various aquatic pollutants removal are presented. Different physicochemical methods that have been used to convert olive mill solid wastes into efficient adsorbents have also been discussed. Characterization of olive-based adsorbents and adsorption mechanisms of various aquatic pollutants on these developed olive-based adsorbents have also been discussed in detail. Conclusions have been drawn from the literature reviewed, and suggestions for future research are proposed. 相似文献

International forestry governance is an integral part of the global policy debates on how to prevent deforestation, illicit extraction, and unsustainable timber practices. Africa is an important producer of timber, yet the region is beset by a lack of capacity and other governance challenges in the management of its forestry sector. We employ a network governance analysis to examine the extent to which the evolution and operation of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and la Commission des Forêts d'Afrique Centrale (COMIFAC) have addressed governance challenges. We assess the strengths and weaknesses of these two leading examples of international forestry governance by introducing recent evidence and insights from Africa. We conclude with a policy‐relevant discussion of how the FSC and COMIFAC might enhance authority, legitimacy, and effectiveness and improve forestry governance in Africa and other parts of the world. 相似文献

In many practical applications, non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) pollutants exhibiting a clearly non-Newtonian rheological behavior (e.g. crude oil, suspensions of engine oils, asphalt, creosote, etc.) may migrate through fractured formations and contaminate aquifers. The present work is the first step toward the development of non-Darcian models concerning the non-linear NAPL flow in single fractures, and detemiination of the coupled effects of non-Newtonian NAPL rheology and flow rate on the transient immiscible displacement of an aqueous phase by a NAPL. Initially, a protocol is developed for the preparation and rheological characterization of synthetic non-Newtonian NAPLs, which are based on waxy oils. Then, an artificial transparent glass-etched single fracture of controlled morphology is fabricated and used for the measurement of the non-linear pressure gradient--superficial velocity relationship for the flow of NAPL of varying rheology. Pore network simulations and effective medium approximation (EMA) are used for the interpretation of the experimental results and derivation of an analytic non-Darcian one-phase flow model. Visualization experiments of the immiscible displacement of an aqueous phase by Newtonian and non-Newtonian NAPLs are performed on the artificial fracture under controlled values of the viscosity ratio and capillary number (ratio of viscous to capillary forces). Comparative study of the Newtonian and non-Newtonian NAPL flow patterns allows us to evaluate the interactive effects of NAPL rheology, flow rates and fracture morphology on the spatial and temporal distribution of such liquid pollutants within single fractures 相似文献
