Abstract
Bifacial photovoltaics (PV) are gaining rapid attention and their ability to generate more electricity is accelerating their deployment globally. However, literature on optimal bifacial PV is presented for the installation parameters of the system. In this study, we use response surface methodology (RSM) to investigate the flex and roadside reflector wastes as alternate reflectors for bifacial PV modules by using a statistical model. Our primary objective in this study is to examine the significant influence of key input factors (front irradiation, rear irradiation, temperature, thickness, and height) on the irradiance factor, total solar reflectance, and power extracted. The results show that the power extraction of the bifacial PV module using the waste flex material is 9%, higher than that of the road side sticker waste. The result indicates that among all other input factors, front irradiation is the most significant parameter.

Abstract
During the prebiotic era, radiolytic transformations in the oceans played a key role in purifying water from toxic impurities and, thus, played a role in the formation of the aquatic environment of our planet, making it suitable for the emergence of life. Today, the planet again faces the challenge of how to provide people with clean water. Therefore, it is reasonable to look back at past historical stages and again consider the possibility of neutralizing pollutants in water by means of radiolysis, which has already been tested by time. Modern radiolytic treatments can be much faster and safer thanks to the advent of powerful electron accelerators and high-rate electron beam treatment (ELT) of water and wastewater. Radiolytic treatment of water using accelerated electrons corresponds to the essence of advanced oxidative technologies and green chemistry. The ELT of water instantly generates a high concentration of short-lived radicals that can quickly neutralize and decompose chemical and bacterial pollutants. Due to the ability of accelerated electrons to penetrate into a substance, ELT provides the decomposition of both dissolved and suspended pollutants. The cleaning effect of ELT is due to the ability to inactivate toxic and chromophore functional groups, transform impurities into an easily removable form, damage the DNA of microorganisms and their spore forms, and increase the biodegradability of organic impurities. The use of ELT in water treatment provides significant savings in chemical reagents, thereby improving quality and reducing the number of cleaning steps. The compactness, high degree of automation of the equipment used, energy efficiency, high productivity, and excellent compatibility with traditional water treatment methods are important advantages of ELT. Unlike conventional chemicals, the excess radicals generated in the ELT process are converted back to water and hydrogen; thus, the chemical and corrosive activity of water does not increase. Equipping research institutes with electron accelerators, developing cheaper accelerators, and granting government support for pilot projects are key conditions for introducing ELT into water treatment practice.

Abstract
In this study, the stabilized landfill leachate which has a BOD : COD ratio of 0.045 was treated using Fenton's process. The effect of process parameters like reaction time, pH, dose of FeSO4 and dose of H2O2 was estimated using One Factor At a Time (OFAT) and the linear, interactive and quadratic effects between the factors were studied using Face Centered Central Composite Design (CCF). In the OFAT approach, reaction time: 5 minutes, pH: 3.0, dose of FeSO4: 30 mM, and dose of H2O2: 30 mM were optimized. In CCF, the statistically optimized model shows maximum removal of organic substances at an FeSO4 concentration of 14.44 mM, pH 3.0 and 29.12 mM of H2O2. The regression co-efficient R2 = 0.9079, adj R2 = 0.854 and adequate precision = 14.676. The degradation of organic substances was assessed by measuring the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) were investigated for the sample corresponding to the maximum COD reduction. In this study, the stabilized landfill leachate which has a BOD : COD ratio of 0.045 was treated using Fenton's process.![]()

Abstract
The rapid growth in world population brings with it the need for improvement in the current technology for water purification, in order to provide adequate potable water to everyone. Although an advanced oxidation process has been used to purify wastewater, its action mechanism is still not clear. Therefore, in the present study we treat dye-polluted water with gamma rays and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. We study the wastewater treatment efficiency of gamma rays and DBD plasma at different absorbed doses, and at different time intervals, respectively. Methyl orange and methylene blue dyes are taken as model dyes. To understand the effects of environment and humidity on the decolorization of these dyes, we use various gas mixtures in the DBD plasma reactor. In the plasma reactor, we use the ambient air and ambient air + other gas (oxygen, nitrogen, and argon) mixtures, respectively, for the treatment of dyes. Additionally, we study the humidity effect on the decolorization of dyes with air plasma. Moreover, we also perform plasma simulation in different environment conditions, to understand which major radicals are generated during the plasma treatments, and determine their probable densities.

Abstract
Zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnS-NPs) were synthesized via a simple and facile co-precipitation method and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Photocatalytic activity of synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated in removal of double azo dye Direct Blue 14 (DB14) from aqueous media. Optimization of photocatalytic removal of DB14 was studied using response surface methodology (RSM). Based on the results, DB14 removal efficiency increased with increasing intensity and duration of UV light irradiation, whereas the higher pH and higher initial dye concentration were unfavorable. Under optimum conditions (initial DB14 concentration =10 mg L-1, ZnS-NPs amount = 0.7 g L-1, pH = 3.5, UV light intensity =16 W m-2, and irradiation time = 48 min), dye removal efficiency reached up to 88.26%. In continuation of our researches, non-linear regression analysis was used to development a kinetics model based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model and an empirical equation was obtained for estimation of apparent pseudo-first-order rate constant (kap) as a function of the operational variables. Findings indicated a high similarity was between the model prediction and experimental results.
