The effect of heat-dispersing on sticky substances in a deinking pulping line was studied under different conditions including varying temperature, disc clearance, and pulp consistency. Sticky substances were quantitatively investigated before and after the heat-dispersing, and categorized into macro-, mini-, and micro-stickies as well as dissolved and colloidal substances. Meanwhile, their ext...

Introduction: The presence of antibiotics due to toxicity and sustainability as well as organic compounds as a combination of hard biodegradable wastewater is an undesirable issue in many industries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of dissolved air flotation process for aniline and penicillin G removal from aqueous solutions. Methods: This was an empirical-lab study to w...

Estuarine processes play a key role in determining the amount and quality of land-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) reaching oceans. Microbial-mediated reactions can affect concentration, quality, bioavailability DOM within an estuary. In this study, we investigated biological removal small estuary its variability two contrasting seasons (spring autumn) characterized by natural differences...

Characterization of the dissolved and colloidal substances (DCS) in the process water of a bleached chemithermomechanical pulp (BCTMP) production line showed that the major lipophilic substances (wood resins) were dehydroabietic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and palmitic acid. Model compound experiments indicated that polysaccharides contained in DCS had significant effects on the stability ...

Effects of biological treatment on the chemical structure of dissolved lignin-related substances in effluent from thermomechanical pulping.

Bacterial decomposition of vascular plant detritus in coastal wetlands results in the conversion of particulate organic matter to dissolved form and causes the release of humic substances into the bulk dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool. WC found that 34% of the DOC accumulating during degradation of salt marsh grass (Spartina alternif7oru) from coastal wetlands of the southeastern U.S. fits t...
