In this data article, we introduce data acquired from new adsorbent, bi-metalized chitosan particle that is successfully synthesized and applied to remove the orange II dye, an azo dye, from textile wastewater. The adsorbent was meso- and macro-porous material with BET surface area of 12.69 m(2)/g and pHzpc 6.6. The simulated textile-wastewater can be significantly treated using a relatively lo...

one of the major environmental problems in the world, especially in iran is deficiency of water resources. this with respect to the entrance of wastewater (especially industrial wastewaters due to their toxic effects) into the water bodies emphasizes the importance of wastewater treatment. heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and vanadium are part of oil and hence are of the major pollutants prod...

water scarcity, its necessity in food production, and environmental protection in the world have forced human beings to seek new water sources. nowadays, application of unconventional water resources (wastewater) has been proposed in countries facing the crisis of water resources shortage; however, a few studies have dealt with this issue. the present study has evaluated the changes in the elem...

water crisis is an important issue in arid regions like iran and has been exacerbated because of successive droughts recently. so the use of unconventional water is increasing in places where there is no good-quality water. one of these resources is urban wastewater that can provide nutrient for plant and if it has no negative impact on soil and water, it can be used for irrigation in de desert...

this study aimed to identify problems arising from lack of knowledge in interest groups about wastewater reuse and delphi survey was conducted. according to experts, the most important factor that may cause the public resistance against the use of treated wastewaters is “health concerns”. this factor may be resulted from “lack of trust on the responsible organizations” and “ignorance about trea...

Presented in this paper is a graphical technique for freshwater and wastewater minimisation in completely batch operations. Water minimisation is achieved through the exploitation of inter- and intra-process water reuse and recycle opportunities. In the context of this paper, a completely batch operation is one in which water reuse or recycle can only be effected either at the start or the end ...

In scene of worrisome water shortage, municipal wastewater has been gradually accepted as an alternative water resource containing important nutrients for irrigation. Rice cul‐ tivation, which is one of the main crops feeding global population and requires plenty of water for its effective growth, has been often irrigated by municipal wastewater in many countries. While irrigation of municipal ...

In Japan, the coverage rate of domestic wastewater treatment among the population was 82.4% at the end of FY 2006, but the coverage rate of domestic wastewater treatment in areas with a population of 50,000 or less remains low (about 65%). In addition, because a smallscale treatment system requiring low construction and maintenance costs is sought because of municipalities’ financial difficulti...
