In order to see the influence of different variable parameters (initial pH of the solution, Fe++ concentration and H2O2 concentration) and the efficiency to remove Malachite Green dye (Basic Green 4) from aqueous solution, Fenton Oxidation method was employed. Then different parameters were studied using known concentration (150 mg/l) and initial COD (256 mg/l) of prepared dye synthetic solutio...

Protein denaturation is considered to be the main reason for both water loss and textural changes in fish during thermal processing. Denaturation of proteins in muscle of farmed Atlantic cod was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. The denaturation of the proteins was compared to cook loss and loss in water holding capacity and it was shown that the protein denaturation occurs in a low...

Mature landfill leachate was anaerobically co-digested with synthetic wastewater to evaluate the degradability and methane productivity in various mixing ratios. The proportion of leachate was increased in three equal steps from 0% to 100%, and then decreased again through the same steps back to 0%. Both COD removal efficiency and methane production decreased as the leachate proportion in the i...

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...

in this research the microorganism was initially isolated and selected after evaluation based on cod reduction of cheese whey and biomass production. the selected microorganism was identified as trichosporon sp. the cultivation conditions of the microorganism were optimized under batch: temperature 30˚c initial ph = 6 aeration speed = 2 ν.ν.m and agitation rate: 800 rpm. under these conditions,...

Sludge bulking causes loss of biomass in the effluent and deterioration of effluent water quality. This study explored the use of nano zero-valent iron (NZVI with an average particle size of 55 ± 11 nm) for sludge bulking control. In two Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) activated sludge treatment systems, a single dose of NZVI at the final concentration of 100 mg Fe per L in the mixed liquor red...

Thermophilic anaerobic digestion is a suitable technology to treat agricultural waste because of its higher biogas production, hygienisation effect and solids removal efficiency. Although these benefits, poor effluent quality and instability are encountered in some cases. The anaerobic co-digestion of winery waste and waste activated sludge at 55°C, operating at 23 days HRT and with an organic ...

Silica-supported Pt nanoparticles were prepared from well-defined surface platinum(II) surface species, obtained by grafting of well-defined Pt(II) molecular precursors with specific ligands (Cl, Me, N(SiMe(3))(2), OSi(OtBu)(3)) onto silica partially dehydroxylated at 200 and 700 °C yielding well-defined platinum(II) surface species. This approach allowed for testing the effect of Pt density an...

We report a Rh(I)-catalyzed C-H activation/alkenylation/electrocyclization cascade and subsequent reduction for the synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydropyridines. These products can be accessed on a gram scale with low catalyst loadings and at high reaction concentrations. Additionally, a modified Rh-catalyst, prepared from [RhCl(cod)]2 as a robust bench-stable precatalyst was developed t...

A study of the second step or methanogenic stage of a two-stage anaerobic digestion process treating two-phase olive oil mill solid residue (OMSR) was conducted at mesophilic temperature (35 degrees C). The substrate fed to the methanogenic step was the effluent from a hydrolytic-acidogenic reactor operating at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 12.9 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) L(-1) d(-1) and...
