De recente grote hoeveelheid CO2 uitstoot heeft ervoor gezorgd dat de pH van de oceaan langzaamaan daalt. CO2 reageert met water en vormt zo bicarbonaat-, carbonaat- en waterstof-ionen. Kleine veranderingen in de pH van de oceaan kan grote gevolgen veroorzaken voor het klimaat. Om de gevolgen voor het …

Mild steel is the main material of alloys in use. Approximately 20% of corrosion damage of metals is induced by bio corrosion. The aim of this research was to study the corrosion performance of mild steel and stainless steel when immersed in natural seawater. In order to verify the effect of the microorganisms …

Stormwaters, flowing into storm sewers, are known to significantly increase the annual pollutant loads entering urban receiving waters and this results in significant degradation of the receiving water quality. Knowledge of the characteristics of stormwater pollution enables urban planners to incorporate …
