Managing the wastewater discharged from oil and shale gas fields is a big challenge, because this kind of wastewater is normally polluted by high contents of both oils and salts. Conventional pressure-driven membranes experience little success for treating this wastewater because of either severe membrane fouling or incapability of desalination. In this study, we designed a new nanocomposite fo...

flocculation processes during estuarine mixing can reduce the elemental concentrations of river water. in the present investigation, natural flocculation processes concept is used to reduce the elemental contents of industrial wastewater. for this purpose, various amounts of saline water were added to an artificial industrial wastewater with known concentrations of heavy metals. the results of ...

The use of algae to treat wastewater has been under investigation for decades. Laboratory experiments were performed to study the growth rate and nitrate and phosphate uptake of free and immobilized cells of saline tolerant, nitrogen fixing cyanobacterium Gloeocapsa gelatinosa. The immobilization was carried out in calcium alginate matrix. The immobilized cells were found to be highly effective...

The rapid growth of the aquaculture industry over recent decades, with annual production reaching 94.6 million tonnes in 2018 has resulted a significant increase saline wastewater following use seawater both fish and shellfish processing. This contains high concentrations nutrients, organic compounds, total nitrogen, resulting requirement for treatment prior to discharge meet environmental regu...
