The present study investigated the coupling effect of biodegradation and media filtration in treating hydrocarbon contaminated water. The study recorded reductions in total petroleum hydrocarbon, total dissolved solids, turbidity and microbial load. The study was essentially a simulated pump and treat process that involved the pumping of hydrocarbon contaminated water for treatment in a locally...

in order to prevent water losses through disposing hydrous sludge during treatment of water, also recovery and reuse of chemicals; treatment by magnesium carbonate as a coagulant was examined in batch and continuous systems. 600 mg/1 mgco3 as optimum dosage reduced 80% turbidity of a highly turbid water containing 200 ntu. sulfates decreased, but hardness and alkalinity showed some increases. r...

Water quality data collected between 2007 and 2014 within the Allen Creek Watershed were used to: (1) determine the factors controlling the temporal variations in turbidity and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) within a representative, high-gradient headwater basin in the Southern Appalachians; and (2) assess the recovery of water quality following extensive logging operations during the e...

the conditions for the refinement of clarified sugarcane juice, including temperature (50o, 60o and 70oc) and pressure (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 bars) by micro-filtration membrane technology were investigated. the raw sugarcane juice was initially pre-filtrated with lime and then the juice obtained (clarified juice) processed using a ceramic micro-filter mem-brane (0.2 micrometer). the characteristics...

introduction: this in vitro study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a single-file rotary system (oneshape) in reduction of intracanal bacteria. methods and materials: eighty one single-rooted mandibular first premolars with single canals were used. six samples were selected as aseptic control group. seventy five remaining specimens were infected by enterococcus faecalis and incubated for 72 ...

The use of synthetic coagulants is not regarded as suitable due to health and economic considerations. Studies were carried out in laboratory scale on deionised water containing synthetic turbidity of kaolinite. Experiments were carried out in four turbidity ranges: 10, 50, 500, 1000 (NTU) and the pH range 5-8. The efficiency of moringa oleifera seed extract and polyaluminum chloride was examin...

background: entry of untreated wastewater of wool scouring factories has been associated with many environmental hazards because of high rate of pollution. presently effective treatment methods and reducing the costs of operation and maintenance from treatment units have always been under the attention of this industry owners. the aim of this survey is to present a suitable method for the treat...
