The presence of white deposits in specific areas of wastewater treatment plants is generally the consequence of the spontaneous formation of a mineral called struvite. Struvite forms when the levels of phosphate, ammonium and magnesium naturally available in wastewater effluents reach a minimum molar ratio 1:1:1 under specific conditions of pH, temperature and mixing energy. Originally regarded...

This paper took the objective of preparing high-performance, low-cost biological adsorbent for printing and dyeing wastewater, adsorption experiment dyestuff wastewater with high chromaticity biodegradability was studied. The Methylene Blue adsorbed by prepared Humulus Japonicus Leaves (HJ), effects time, pH, dosage adsorbent, initial concentration temperature on process were investigated, mech...

The ultimate biodegradation of the commercial products nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE9), octylphenol ethoxylates (OPE9), and their biodegradation intermediates, NPE1.5, OPE1.5, NP, and OP, was measured using conventional methods. The extent of biodegradation was also determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of metabolite...

Experiments were carried out to evaluate the batch adsorption of sulfur compounds from petroleum refinery wastewater on a chemically modified activated carbon (MAC). The modification technique enhances the removal capacity of carbon and therefore decreases cost-effective removal of sulfide from refinery wastewater. Different techniques have been used to characterize the modified activated carbo...

oxidation of methyl orange (mo) solution in potassium peroxydisulfate (kps) homogeneous reaction system without uv irradiation was investigated. the result shows that decolorization of mo increases as the dosage of k2s2o8 increases. the kinetic results demonstrate that the decolorization reaction is a pseudo first-order reaction when the concentration of mo is below 10 mg/l and langmuir–hinshew...

Personal care products (PCPs) are considered an emerging class of pollutants, and PCP wastewater is classified as hazardous because it contains organic compounds, which linked to high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations. dangerous when discharged into rivers without treatment, entails oxidizing complex compounds simpler using advanced oxidation technology (AOT). Fenton’s reagent compose...

A simplified environmental biological model has been developed based on biodegradation kinetics correlation to regulate and optimize wastewater treatment system of activated sludge process. All parameters included in the model are calibrated in accordance with reference data and experimental results and good agreements are achieved between calculated results and reference data or experimental r...

For over 70 years, scientists have reported that certain synthetic and natural compounds could mimic natural hormones in the endocrine systems of animals. These substances are now collectively known as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), and have been linked to a variety of adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. More recently, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have bee...
