In this study, the treatability of rose processing wastewater was investigated by using electrocoagulation (EC) methods compared to classical chemical (CC) and Fenton application (FA) processes. High chemical oxygen demand (COD) and dissolved solids contents were detected in the wastewater. Among these treatment applications, it was found that the EC unit is the most effective treatment techniq...

the continuous filter is a kind of sand filter, which will operate without any interruptions for backwashing and also it accepts high-suspended solid levels in feed stream. fouled sand is continuously removed from the filter bed, washed and recycled back without interruption with filtration process. various samples of water with certain amounts of turbidity enter through a feed pipe and being d...

Background & Aims of the Study: In some situation like rainfall seasons raw water become very turbid so it affected the water treatment plant processes and quality of produced water. Treatment of very high turbid water has some concerns like precursors for disinfection by-products and very loading rate of particle on filter's media and consequently increases in water consumptio...

In 2005, the US Environmental Protection Agency National Menu of Stormwater Best Management Practices, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Phase II for Construction Sites, listed compost filter socks as an approved best management practice for controlling storm runoff and sediment on construction sites. Like most new technologies used to control sediment on construction sites, littl...

This study describes the ability of conventional water treatment plants towards the removal of non-targeted new emerging pollutants (NEPs) by optimizing the variables such as pH and polyaluminium chloride (PAC), activated carbon, and chlorine (Cl2) concentrations. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for the separation and quantification of NEPs. Several NEPs, including ibuprof...

Ferrihydrite is effective in arsenic removal because of the considerable amount of active hydroxyl groups. Solid–liquid separation of the arsenic adsorbed ferrihydrite from aqueous solution is important for the arsenic treatment technology. Coagulation is a promising process for ferrihydrite separation. Effects of different coagulants on arsenic adsorbed ferrihydrite settlement were investigate...

slow sand filtration (s.s.f) is a main process in the water treatment technology and generally considered as most appropriate for application in rural and small urban areas in developing countries. however, performance of the s.s.f is very sensitive to high turbidity levels. therefore, pretreatment is necessary for such waters. horizontal - flow roughing filtration (hfrf) and direct horizontal ...

This work assesses the efficiency of integrated enhanced coagulation and direct filtration processes for the removal of color, turbidity, and natural organic matter (NOM) from surface water. The processes were conducted in a simulated pilot. The operating conditions of the treatment process, including pH, FeCl3 dose, and influent flow, were investigated. Following that, its efficienc...
