in the present study, the treatment of tannery wastewater was performed by electrocoagulationmethod (ec) using aluminium and steel electrodes. response surface methodology (rsm) with three factors; current density (i), electrolysis time (t) and ph, with each factor at five levels, was used to optimize the factors for higher chemical oxygen demand (cod) and total suspended solids (tss) removal. ...

background; conventional chemical coagulation is considered as the old method to color and cod removal in textile effluent. electrocoagulation (ec) process is a robust method to achieve maximum removal. methods; this work was designed to compare the result of operational parameters including optimum ph and coagulant concentration for chemical coagulation with ferric chloride and alum. also, the...

Surfactants are among the most widely disseminated xenobiotics that contribute significantly to the pollution profile of sewage and wastewaters of all kinds. Among the currently employed chemical unit processes in the treatment of wastewaters, coagulation-flocculation has received considerable attention for yielding high pollutant removal efficiency. Jar-test experiments are employed in order t...

conclusions with the proper operation of wastewater the treatment plant and increasing the retention time, the removal efficiency of the detergents increased. in addition, according to the environmental standards for bod5, cod and the detergents, the results of the present study indicated that the outputs of these parameters from the sbr system were appropriate for agricultural irrigation. resu...

the saline tannery wastewater also contains the high concentration of organic materials and various chemical compounds like lime, sodium sulfite, sulfate ammonium, sodium chloride, disinfections, vegetable tannins, salts of chromium and chloride. in recent years different applications of advanced oxidation processes (aops) are applied to remove organic loading (cod) from wastewater. advanced ox...
