"ABSTRAKThe relation between spatial variability and residence time for gases in the atmosphere is studied using a two-dimensional numerical model, Results indicate that although the residence time shows a strong dependence on the variability, other factors mainly the distribution of sources, also play an important role. If nothing is known about the location of the sources and sinks, the uncertainty in the estimate of the residence time from variability measures will be at least a factor of 10. The situation is greatly improved when one has indications of where the sources is located. Verification of the model, using gases in the atmosphere for which variability estimates and independent estimates of the residence time were available, proved difficult because of the uncertainties associated with these estimates. The general features of decreasing variability with increasing residence time and a strong dependence on the source configuration were, however, confirmed."

"ABSTRAKAmmonia and phosphorus have been recognized as the cause of eutrophication in surface water. Chuat Man Canal is faced with water quality degradation problem due to the high concentrations of ammonia and total phosphorus in the water body that makes it unsuitable for fish ponds. Removal of ammonia and phosphorus by the adsorption process is simple and not requires chemical use. In addition, ammonia is well adsorbed by activated carbon and zeolite while phosphorus is adsorbed by zeolite. This research used zeolite and activated carbon for the adsorption of ammonia and total phosphorus. The results of laboratory experiments at 30 °C 200 rpm 60 minutes, revealed that adsorption of ammonia using zeolite correlated with Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.9031). For ammonia adsorption using activated carbon, it correlated with Langmuir (R2 = 0.9596) and Freundlich (R2 = 0.9113) isotherms, respectively. For field experiment, 9 zeolite and activated carbon adsorbent pads with ratio of 1.6:1 by weight were placed across the canal sections. Each pad had 2 openings and each opening contained its adsorbent volume of 1.0 × 0.015 × 0.6 m3 (width × length × height). The front opening contained 5 kg of activated carbon while the back part contained 8 kg of zeolite. During the study, water flow velocity at surface of water was ranged from 0.022 - 0.027 m/s. Concentration of ammonia in influent and effluent was ranged from 1.755- 8.817 mg/L and 1.473-7.063 mg/L, respectively while that for total phosphorus was ranged from 0.045 - 0.095 mg/L and 0.042 - 0.089 mg/L, respectively. The maximum removal efficiency occurred 20 and 43 minutes after installation of the adsorption pads which were 6.73% for total phosphorus and 23.17% for ammonia, respectively."
