The transoceanic movement of non-indigenous microorganisms and organic and inorganic
contaminants through the transfer of ballast water of ocean-going vessels can be considered …

Invasive aquatic species discharged through ballast water is one of the most serious
problems posed nowadays in the marine environment. This review paper summarizes the …

Ballast water is carried by cruise ships, large tankers, and bulk cargo carriers to acquire the
optimum operating depth of the propeller and to maintain maneuverability and stability …

This work examined the potential of electrochemical disinfection to treat simulated ballast
water with Artemia salina (A. salina) as an indicator organism. The effect of contact time …

Waste-tire-derived crumb rubber was utilized as filter media to develop an efficient filter for
ballast water treatment. In this study, the effects of coagulation, pressure filtration and dual …

Concern about ballast-mediated bioinvasions into freshwater, estuarine and marine habitats
is not limited to biodiversity per se but extends to its broader socio-economic impacts on …

Ballast water is required to be treated to reach D-2 standard according to the International
Maritime Organization (IMO). Filtration and electrolysis are important technologies for ballast …

Electrosorptive batch experiments were conducted for the development of a statistical model
to describe the relation between operating parameters and desalination performance of …

Materials used during manufacturing of tires can be a source of nitrosamines and/or their
precursors. Here, we examined the leaching of nitrosamines and nitrosamine precursors …

An overview on various ballast water treatment (BWT) technologies aboard different types of
ships is presented. These technologies are:(1) Filtration,(2) Cyclonic systems,(3) Heat …
