A review of the literature published in from 2008 to 2010 on topics related to electrochemical treatment within wastewater was presented. The review included several sections such as optimization, modeling, various wastewater treatment techniques, analytical and instrumentation, and comparison with other treatment methods.

This literature review examines process, design, and cost issues related to using oxidation ponds for wastewater treatment. Many of the topics have applications at either full scale or in isolation for laboratory analysis. Oxidation ponds have many advantages. The oxidation pond treatment process is natural, because it uses microorganisms such as bacteria and algae. This makes the method of treatment cost-effective in terms of its construction, maintenance, and energy requirements. Oxidation ponds are also productive, because it generates effluent that can be used for other applications. Finally, oxidation ponds can be considered a sustainable method for treatment of wastewater.

The Islamophobia Scale (IS) is a self-report measure of an individual's fear-related attitudes toward Muslims and the religion of Islam (S. to further validate the psychometric properties of the IS, the current study conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and a test-retest reliability analysis (Study 1), a multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) study (Study 2), and an incremental validation study (Study 3). In addition, construct validity was examined across all of the studies using correlations with other instruments. The results demonstrated that the IS is reliable across time, is more factorially sound as a two-factor model, and is correlated with expected instruments. The MTMM demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity, rivaling forgiveness and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) measures for the cognitive component, but not for the affective-behavioral component. However, the affective-behavioral component explained variance over and above RWA and Arab prejudice measures for sympathetic reactions to a suffering Muslim. Implications, limitations, and opportunities for future research are discussed.

Pollution from textile mills is a problem of formidable dimensions and color removal is the most perplexing problem facing environmental engineers designing appropriate treatment facilities for textile wastewaters. The CIE colorimetric system has been used in this study to measure the color in the treatment of disperse‐red‐60 dye wastewater using different adsorbents. The color removal is determined by using the CIE 1976 L*a*b* (CIELAB) color difference equation. The effect of contact time and dosage on color and color removal has been investigated for various adsorbents, namely, powdered activated carbon, granular activated carbon, activated alumina, molecular sieves and diatomite.
