A case study is presented in which two modifications of activated sludge treatment of complex chemical wastewater are experimentally compared: a combination of common activated sludge with powdered activated carbon treatment (PACT), and bioaugmentation of activated sludge treatment (BAST). Industrial wastewater of Pars Oil Refinery that was passed through an oil recovery stage was used to inve...

With the development of refining industry, treatment refinery wastewater has become an urgent problem. In this study, a ceramic membrane (CM) was combined with Fenton-activated carbon (AC) adsorption to dispose wastewater. The effect process analyzed using excitation–emission matrix (EEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies (FTIR). Compared direct filtrat...

industrial wastewaters are of the major sources of heavy metal pollution in the environment. in the middle east, gas and oil industry is the major source of heavy metal pollution and releases significant amounts of metals into the terrestrial and aquatic environment. in this research the capability of the common reed ( phragmitis australis ) in absorbing heavy metals cd, pb and v from the waste...

Application of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in adsorption process has been studied for the advanced treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. Because of entering poisonous compounds such as furfural, phenol and sulfides into the oily wastewater of Tehran refinery, biological aeration basins of wastewater treatment unit may not have the desired performance of COD reduction. In this st...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background: nowadays wastewater is one of the important sources of environmental pollutions and   one of the aims of wastewater treatment is to maintain a healthy environment. nonstandard wastewater discharges and their use in agriculture or discharge to surface water will follow environmental and health hazards. the aim of this study was to compare th...

introduction according to the shortage of water resources in the world, it seems necessary the use of refined water, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas such as iran. the correct treatment, management and the control of refining process needs to investigate effective parameters in this process precisely. therefore, because of the uncertainty and complexity in refining qualitative parameter...
