[ 1 ] - Simultaneous nitrification-denitrification in a sequencing batch reactor equipped with fixed Kaldnes carriers

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a modified sequencing batch reactor (MSBR) using fixed Kaldnes carriers fed with acclimated sludge for ammonium removal via simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) in synthetic wastewater. The results exhibited a SND of 82.3% within a 450-minute cycle time which was higher than that of a SBR without carrier (69.83%). Nitrite...

[ 2 ] - Application of experimental design approach for optimization of the photocatalytic degradation of humic substances in aqueous solution using immobilized ZnO nanoparticles

Degradation of humic substances in water is important due to its adverse effects on the environment and human health. The aim of this study was modeling and investigating the degradation of humic substances in water using immobilized ZnO as a catalyst. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized through simple coprecipitation (CPT) method and immobilized on glass plates. The immobilized ZnO nanocatalyst...

[ 3 ] - Photocatalytic removal of Acid Red 88 dye using zinc oxide nanoparticles fixed on glass plates

In this study, ZnO nanoparticles fixed on glass plates were employed as photocatalysts for the degradation of Acid Red 88 (AR88) dye in aquatic solution. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized through coprecipitation method and fixed on glass plates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were used for characterization of nanoparticle samples. A batch reactor equi...

[ 4 ] - Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye over immobilized ZnO nanoparticles: Optimization of calcination conditions

In the present study, calcination conditions during the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD). After that, the effect of the type of UV irradiation on the photocatalysis of methylene blue (MB) dye was studied based on the kinetic model obtained at optimum conditions. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) exhi...

[ 5 ] - حذف رنگ آزو از فاضلاب مصنوعی با استفاده ازنانو-دیاتومیت تثبیت شده در آلژینات کلسیم

Introduction: The presence of organic dyes, discharged by textile industries, in aqueous environments can cause detrimental effects on aquatic life and subsequently human health. Therefore, the decolorization of aquatic environments is mandatory to protect the environment. For this reason, in the present study, nano-sized diatomite was immobilized within calcium alginate as a nanocomposite adso...

[ 6 ] - کاربرد نانوپودر سیلیکای تثبیت شده در آلژینات برای جذب کادمیم از محلول‌های آبی

هدف از این پژوهش، مطالعه جذب سطحی کادمیم بر روی نانوپودر سیلیکای تثبیت شده در آلژینات کلسیم و تعیین ایزوترم، سینتیک و ترمودینامیک جذب بود. از راکتورهای جریان ناپیوسته برای بررسی تأثیر pH اولیه، زمان تماس و غلظت یون‌های فلزی بر جذب کادمیم استفاده شد. زمان تماس و pH اولیه مطلوب برای جذب سطحی کادمیم به‌ترتیب 120 دقیقه و 4 به‌دست آمد. با افزایش غلظت یون کادمیم از 10 به 1000 میلی‌گرم در لیتر، میزان ...
