The impact of preozonation and filter contact time (depth) on microbial communities was examined in drinking water biofilters treating Ohio River water which had undergone conventional treatment (coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation) or solutions of natural organic matter isolated from groundwater (both ozonated and nonozonated). With respect to filter depth, compared to filters treating no...

This study developed a high efficient and combined biological and chemical filter treatment process. This process used PAC (Powder Activated Carbon), Alum and attached growth treatment process. The system removals of total nitrogen and total phosphorus ratio of two were as high as 70% and 73%, moreover, the effluent water was suitable to urban and agricultural water. Also the advantages of this...

Waterworks in Sweden that apply conventional chemical surface water treatment are facing a number of challenges, including changes in raw water quality and demands for improved particle removal. The chief objective of this work was to evaluate biological pre-filtration for typical Swedish surface water, regarding the removal of natural organic matter, particles, iron and manganese, and taste an...

an efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withh5io6/v2o5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][pf6] has been developed. high yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. the catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

aims: textile wastewaters are the most important health and environmental problems in kashan. this research was aimed to compare the poly aluminum chloride and chlorinated cuprous efficiency for removal of chemical oxygen demand (cod) and color from kashan textile industries company wastewater. materials & methods: this experimental bench scale study in a batch system was conducted on 20 compos...

background low-cost anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (asbr), which is widely used for controlling high-organic wastewater, is an effective method to remove chemical oxygen demand (cod). objectives the main objectives was evaluating the feasibility of using asbr in the treatment of synthetic dairy wastewater, determining its removal efficiency, and assessing the effect of temperature on operat...

background: desalination plants have an important role in providing community drinking water. the increasing trend of water consumption and decrease of natural resources of fresh water make this role even more important. the aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of inlet and outlet water of desalination plants by reverse osmosis (ro) process in qeshm, iran and also to compare the qualit...
