The widespread use of pesticides for agricultural purposes results in their presence the environment. Pesticide occurrence is causing potential negative impacts on human health and environmental deterioration general. One interdisciplinary field to implement a technology converting conserving resources bioelectrochemistry. An integrated system based bioelectrochemical processes, namely Bioelect...

The aim of this study was to characterize landfill leachate of Çorlu that was heavily industrialized, and to examine the application of coagulation-flocculation and adsorption for the treatment of this leachate. This deposited area is non-regulated and municipal and industrial wastes are deposited uncontrollably. The experiments were conducted to investigate the combined process of coagulation-...

This study investigates the novel and advanced integrated pilot-scale treatment system of removal contaminants in secondary effluent from municipal wastewater. The main intent this work is to assess combination pressure sand filter (PSF), ultrafiltration (UF), ozone (O3), granular activated carbon (GAC) treat wastewater evaluate its suitability for water reuse. experiments were carried out a fo...

The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the indoor air come from many sources including building materials, furnishings, occupant activities and in some cases, the ventilation air. Granular activated carbons (GAC) have been increasingly used to remove these contaminants, particularly for small commercial buildings and those located in urban centers or near industrial plants where the quality o...

Atrazine removal from water by two polycations pre-adsorbed on montmorillonite was studied. Batch experiments demonstrated that the most suitable composite poly (4-vinylpyridine-co-styrene)-montmorillonite (PVP-co-S90%-mont.) removed 90-99% of atrazine (0.5-28 ppm) within 20-40 min at 0.367% w/w. Calculations employing Langmuir's equation could simulate and predict the kinetics and final extent...

Abstract Degradation of raw water quality promoted the introduction GAC (granular activated carbon) filtration and ozonation into Korean drinking treatment facilities in 1994 order to cope with organic pollutants. This study focuses on evaluation organics reduction performance regenerated carbons using long-term operational data. Three at Busan were selected for this purpose. It was found that ...

Filtration technology is well established in the water sector but is limited by inability to remove targeted contaminants, found in surface and groundwater, which can be damaging to human health. This study optimises the design of filters by examining the efficacy of seven media (fly ash, bottom ash, Bayer residue, granular blast furnace slag (GBS), pyritic fill, granular activated carbon (GAC)...

This paper presents a comparative study of the efficiency of biodegradation, adsorption and simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation (SAB) process for the remediation of industrial wastewaters containing both cyanide and phenol. Adsorption was carried out using granular activated carbon (GAC), while biodegradation was achieved by co-fermentation with Pseudomonas putida and Azotobacter chrooco...
