UV irradiation and advanced oxidation processes have been recently regarded as promising solutions in removing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from marine oily wastewater. However, such treatment methods are generally not sufficiently understood in terms of reaction mechanisms, process simulation and process control. These deficiencies can drastically hinder their application in shippin...

oily wastewaters from oil refineries and oil distribution centers are one of the most important environmental concerns in recent decades; therefore, it is critical to treat these types of wastewaters. in this study, the performance of different polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes in oily wastewaters treatment was investigated and the effects of operating conditions such as transmembrane pre...

This study focused on the evaluation of the specific biological heat potential (hb) of a food-processing artificial wastewaterin the autothermal thermophilic aerobic treatment (ATAT) system. A novel experimental method was developed to evaluate the hb value by using the heat balance model under the steady state. This system was daily fed with oily and artificial wastewater at 21,460 mg l(-1) CO...

The increasing number of industrial sectors has resulted in more and contaminated water wastewater containing various harmful pollutants including oil compounds. Less treated or untreated oily could give a serious threat to both human health environmental sustainability. Therefore, the appropriate treatment methods such as membrane filtration, coagulation/flocculation, biological treatment, ads...
