Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW) contains high concentrations of contaminants, including organic, nitrogen, and phenolic compounds that are extremely harmful to the environment human health. The key purpose this study was remove total organic carbon (TOC), nitrogen (TN), (TP) from OMW using floating wetland planted with Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash (vetiver) Cyperus alternifolius L. (umbrella pal...

The flocculated solid fraction of olive mill wastewaters, obtained from two different olive oil extraction systems (FOMW1 and FOMW2) was composted, with olive leaves (OL) as bulking agent, by the static pile system (Rutgers). The dynamic of organic matter (OM) degradation during composting and its relationship with the basal respiration and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolytic activity, as in...

background: olive oil wastewater  contains chemical contents and organic materials that are resistant to biodegradation.  the existence of phenolic inhibitor compounds, toxicity to microorganisms in wastewater treatment units, unpleasant odor, high biochemical oxygen demand (bod) and chemical oxygen demand (cod), high suspended solids, and compounds resistant to biodegradation in such wastewate...
