Dyes wastewater produced during leather processing caused serious environmental pollution. Anionic dyes are always vital crisis in waste treatment. Removal of anionic dyes from tannery wastewater before their discharge into the environment is important for health and environment safety. The use of low-priced and biodegradable adsorbents could be a good method to minimize the environmental impac...

The three-dimensional electro-Fenton method was used in the folic acid wastewater pretreatment process. In this study, we researched the degradation of folic acid and the effects of different parameters such as the air sparging rate, current density, pH and reaction time on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal in folic acid wastewater. A four-level and four-factor orthogonal test was designed a...

Batch scale activated sludge kinetic studies were undertaken for the treatment of pet food wastewater characterized by oil and grease concentrations of up to 21,500 mg/L, COD and BOD concentrations of 75,000 and 60,000 mg/L, respectively as well as effluent from the batch dissolved air flotation (DAF) system. The conducted kinetics studies showed that Haldane Model fit the substrates and biomas...

High concentration animal wastewater is often contaminated by tetracycline and an upflow anaerobic sludge bioreactor (UASB) with granular sludge is often used to treat the wastewater. The investigation of the adsorption process of tetracycline on anaerobic granular sludge during anaerobic digestion of animal wastewater will increase the understanding of antibiotics behavior in the UASB reactor....

In this study, the oxidation of dye from colored wastewater by H2O2/ MWCNT’s multi walls carbon nano tubes solution assisted with UV radiation was investigated. Disperse Blue 56 DB 56 was used as a model dye. Adsorption behavior of DB56 from aqueous solution onto MWCNT’s was investigated under various conditions such as initial pH value, dye concentration, H2O2 and MWCNT’s dosage. Maximum adsor...

the removal of cd2+ and pb2+ ions from wastewater using p-tert-butyl-calix[4] arene was investigated in terms of initial ph, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature. the maximum adsorption occurred at the ph value of 6. the adsorbent studied exhibits high efficiency for cd (ii)and pb (ii) adsorption and the equilibrium states could be achieved in 10 min. adsorption...

Reaction kinetics of benzid ine oxidation with ClO 2 in the wastewater was investigated systematically by detecting concentrations of benzid ine with HPLC at regular intervals. The results show that the reaction was firstorder with respect to both ClO2 and benzid ine, and the entire reaction was of second-order. Under condition of pH 6.5 and water temperature 298K, the second-order reaction rat...

The degradation of seven compounds which are usually recalcitrant in classical activated sludge treatment (e.g., diclofenac, propranolol, iopromide, iohexol, iomeprol tebuconazole and propiconazole) was studied in a biofilm reactor (slow sand filtration). This reactor was used to treat real effluent-wastewater at different flow rates (hydraulic loadings) under aerobic conditions so removal and ...
