In this research, the ability of anaerobic and aerobic biological sludges to reduce and stabilize azo dye compounds was studied. Synthetic dye solutions and an industrial textile wastewater were both treated using anaerobic and aerobic biomass, separately and in sequential step-treatment processes. The primary objective was to reduce the wastewater color to an intensity that complies with the V...

In this research, the efficiency of electrocoagulation treatment process using iron and aluminum electrodes to treat synthetic wastewater containing Reactive Red 24 (RR 24) was studied. The effects of parameters such as current density, pH, type of electrolyte, initial dye concentration, electrolyte concentration, temperature, and inter electrode distance on dye removal efficiency were investig...

The activated sludge process is one of the most important parts of conventional wastewater treatment plants. Wastewater is treated biologically in activated sludge basins. Activated sludge can remove soluble contaminants, primarily organics compounds and nitrogen, from the wastewater stream. The activated sludge is a mixture of microorganisms, inorganic and organic compounds aggregated to flocs...

The wastewater used for experimental research is typically collected from a treatment plant or prepared as synthetic solution in the lab. These options represent transportation and cost challenges, respectively, particularly experiments requiring large volumes of wastewater. Here, we describe method creating inexpensive readily available household products. base solution, synthesized by soaking...

Electrochemical recovery of phosphorus from synthetic wastewater using a sacrificial Mg anode has been explored as function key parameters, including pH, voltage, and salinity. The effect chloride (NaCl) concentrations in the range 0–1500 mM on both corrosion phosphate precipitation was investigated acidic alkaline (i.e., pH 4 8) solutions dihydrogen ammonium phosphate. primary precipitate expe...
