Hydrodistilled volatile oils, as well as the extracts from waste water after hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Satureja montana and Satureja cuneifolia, growing wild at Mt. Biokovo (Croatia), were analyzed by GC-MS. Sixty compounds were identified in four samples. The major constituents of essential oil obtained from the plant material of S. montana were carvacrol (63.4%) and thymol (1...

Due to its wide occurrence in water resources and toxicity, pharmaceuticals and personal care products are becoming an emerging concern throughout the world. Application of residual/waste materials for water remediation can be a good strategy in waste management as well as in waste valorization. Herein, this dataset provides information on biochar application for the removal of emerging contami...

Moringa oleifera seeds contain about 40% of highly valued oil due to its wide range of applications, from nutritional issues to cosmetics or biodiesel production. The extraction of Moringa oil generates a waste (65%-75% of seeds weight) which contains a water soluble protein able to be used either in drinking water clarification or wastewater treatment. In this paper, the waste of Moringa oleif...

With Increasing Energy Demand in the World and to keep Environment Friendly, biogas technology has attained a notable position for the future scope. This paper tells about a comprehension review on anaerobic digestion of cow dung and food waste with Water hyacinths to enhance biogas productions. Water hyacinths are treated as waste in rivers, ponds, but they have high potential in biogas produc...

The separation (or removal) of organic residues from aqueous waste streams released from industries is important and essential from the points of view of pollution control and recovery of useful materials. The disposal of waste waters containing most widely-used industrial organic acids such as acetic acid, formic acid and propionic acid has been recognized as a significant expense to the indus...

Biofloc systems were developed to improve environmental control over production. In places where water is scarce or land is expensive, more intensive forms of aquaculture must be practiced for cost-effective production. There are strong economic incentives for an aquaculture business to be more efficient with production inputs, especially the most costly (feed) and most limiting (water or land)...

background: recently, there has been a great concern about the consumption of dyes because of their toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and persistence in the aquatic environment. reactive dyes are widely used in textile industry. advanced oxidation processes are one of the cost-effective methods for the removal of these dyes. the main aims of this study were determining the feasibility of...

aims: in biological wastewater treatment processes, a large amount of sludge is produced. stabilization of sludge is essential before disposal because of the risks to human health and environment. therefore, selecting an appropriate process for stabilization this sludge may efficiently decrease risks. the aim of this study was to examine the compound efficiency of the advanced fenton and ozonat...

adsorption is a fundamental process in the physicochemical treatment of wastewaters which industries employ to reduce hazardous organic and inorganic wastes in effluents. in recent years the use of low-cost adsorbents has been widely investigated as a replacement for the currently costly methods of removing heavy metal ions from wastewater. it is well-known that cellulosic waste materials can b...
