background: electrochemical methods, as one of the advanced oxidation processes (aops), have recently been applied to remove different contaminants from water and wastewater. this study compares the performance of anodic oxidation (ao) and electro-fenton (ef) methods on waste sludge treatment. methods: this experimental study was performed on real sludge and the effect of operating parameters s...

aims: several methods have been used for textile wastewater treatment. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of rosa damascena watering waste ash for cod and color removal from textile wastewater.  materials & methods: rose watering waste was gathered from one of the kashan processing plants. the raw wastewater sample was taken from one of the textile industries in kashan country...

Background; The aim of this study is to compare UV, ferrate (VI) and UV/ferrate (VI) methods for removal of hydrogen sulfide and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from municipal wastewater under a continuous condition. Methods; The experiment was divided into three parts: 1) pollutants removal by using ferrate (VI) alone; 2) pollutants removal using UV alone; 3) pollutants removal using a combina...

the removal performance of total poly phenols and orthodiphenols (o-diphenols) content in olive mill waste (omw) was investigated with a three stages cross flow laboratory scale rotating biological contactor (rbc) in the present study. due to high cod and other pollutant in the original omw, physico-chemical treatment was effected for cod and other pollutant reduction prior to biological treatm...

This study was performed with the objective of determining the efficiency of iron nanoparticles for reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD), 5-day biological oxygen demand (BOD5), total solids (TS) and color of Hamadan city landfill leachate. Experiments were performed in a batch reactor and the main effective factors of pH, reaction time and concentration of iron nanoparticles were investigated....
