Effectiveness of ozonation before and after biological treatment for removal of recalcitrant organic matter in bleached kraft pulp effluents was compared. Two industrial ECF bleached eucalypt kraft pulp effluents (E1 and E2) were pretreated with 100 mg O3/L. Raw and pretreated effluents were treated biologically in bench-scale sequencing batch reactors, under constant conditions. Following biol...

The aim of the study was to investigate distribution, enrichment and accumulation of heavy metals in soil and Trigonella foenum-graecum (var. Pusa Early Bunching) after fertigation with paper mill effluent. Doses of paper mill effluent viz. 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were used for fertigation of T. foenum-graecum along with bore well water (control). The results revealed that paper mill ef...

UNLABELLED Common effluent treatment plant (CETP) for tannery effluent, is the combination of physical, chemical and biological treatment to facilitate the degradation of industrial waste water. Obviously, the biomass which survives in this extreme environment may have the ability to utilize the effluent as the sole carbon source for its survival. The ultimate aim of the present investigation i...

Dyes and other chemicals laden wastewater is a main environmental concern for increasing the textile industries in many parts of world. Textile consume different kinds manmade dyes or release huge extents highly polluted water into environment. This excessive dye has great impacts on photosynthetic activity aquatic plants animals, example, fish. It may also affect human health due to presence c...

This study investigated the occurrence and removal of 12 antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, nalidixic acid, azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, lincomycin, novobiocin, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim) at four sewage treatment plants (STPs): two STPs in Kyoto, Japan and two STPs in Beijing, China. The STPs differed in design and operation conditions, uti...

In the paper, control possibilities for the nitrogen removal process within activated sludge wastewater treatment plants are discussed. A predictive controller is introduced which aims to reduce the peaks in effluent concentration for ammonia nitrogen. Additionally, the controller improves the overall nitrogen removal using less aeration energy. A parsimonious deterministic model is used for th...

the efficiency of oxidation processes, enzymatic treatment, and combined enzymatic/chemical sequences on color remediation of cmp pulp mill effluent was investigated. two kinds of fungal enzymes; laccase (ec: 1.10.3.2) from terametes versicolor and versatile peroxidase (ec: 1.11.1.7) from bjerkandera adusta were chosen and applied. also, the effect of external mediator on the enzyme based degra...
