“…The results of the isotopic analyses are reported with the standard notion (δ) in deviations per thousand (‰) with respect to the international standard V-SMOW. The analytical precision is ± 0.15‰ for δ 18 O and ± 0.15 ‰ for δ 2 H.…”

“…These aquifers exhibit high vulnerability regards to their unknown proprieties, uncertain boundaries, and unpredictable hydrodynamic interactions with different reservoirs [16], [17]. For this aim, hydrochemical processes were integrated to determine the main factors and mechanisms controlling the chemistry of groundwater in the study area [18]. Though, the stable oxygen and hydrogen isotopic (δ 18 O and δ 2 H) ratios properties in different groundwater have become an excellent way to characterize the endmember, of groundwater recharge and discharge, to identify the origins of water bodies, and their migration pathways, [19], [20].…”

As the first hydrogeological investigation, the mean objectives of this work is to show how isotopic tools and ion elements contribute to the study of water/rock interactions.…”

The largest confined aquifers hydraulically continuous from the Algeria Atlas Mountains as a recharge area to the Tunisian Chotts were discharge area. Is being largely used in the valley of Oued Souf, southeastern of Algeria and part of the northeastern Sahara, composed with sedimentary series ranging from the lower Cretaceous to the Quaternary. These formations have favored several aquifer layers with variable hydrodynamic behavior depending on their facies. The high expansion of the agricultural field needs irrigation from groundwater aquifers in this area. The overexploitation of the shallow aquifer causes severe deterioration of groundwater quality and soil suffusion at arid areas. The high salinity (electrical conductivity exceeds 3600 mS.cm-¹) coupled with groundwater level decline pose serious problems for current irrigation and domestic water supplies. Although, the multi-layers of complex terminal (CT) and continental intercalary (CI) aquifers is used to approve the water supplies. In aim to corroborate the hydrochemical process, and to investigate the water potentialities and mineralization of CT and CI groundwater aquifers, chemical tools namely major elements and trace elements are studied. The isotopic (δ 18O, δ 2H) hydrogeochemical study helps to identify and classify this deep underground water aquifers relationship. The samples isotopic signal shown a current recharge of the CT, according to the regional rainfall signal .

“…The increasing number of various types of organic pollutants, including phenols, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, estrogens, and personal care products, is increasingly being detected in our water systems and wastewater [1][2][3]. Their presence in unknown and uncontrolled dosages undesirably compromises the quality of water and shows a serious risk to human beings and aquatic organisms [4,5]. Most of the abovementioned substances are also known as emerging contaminants (ECs) and are classified by the World Health Organization as group 1 of carcinogens due to their potentially mutagenic and cancerogenic character [6].…”

Purpose of Review In the presented review, we have summarized recent achievements on the use of immobilized oxidoreductases for biodegradation of hazardous organic pollutants including mainly dyes, pharmaceuticals, phenols, and bisphenols. In order to facilitate process optimization and achievement of high removal rates, effect of various process conditions on biodegradation has been highlighted and discussed. Recent Findings Current reports clearly show that immobilized oxidoreductases are capable of efficient conversion of organic pollutants, usually reaching over 90% of removal rate. Further, immobilized enzymes showed great recyclability potential, allowing their reuse in numerous of catalytic cycles. Summary Collected data clearly indicates immobilized oxidoreductases as an efficient biocatalytic tools for removal of hazardous phenolic compounds, making them a promising option for future water purification. Data shows, however, that both immobilization and biodegradation conditions affect conversion efficiency; therefore, process optimization is required to achieve high removal rates. Nevertheless, we have demonstrated future trends and highlighted several issues that have to be solved in the near-future research, to facilitate large-scale application of the immobilized oxidoreductases in wastewater treatment.
