Fine fibers from amphibian atrium were mounted in a microperfusion chamber and loaded with K, followed by a rapid, nonisotopic wash during which the preparation was stimulated electrically. The stimulus was triggered and the "cold" effluent collected by a high-speed rotary fraction collector. Thus effluent corresponding to the same time interval in the cardiac cycle was always collected in the ...

Dairy soiled water (DSW) is produced on dairy farms through the washing-down of milking parlours and holding areas, and is generally applied to land. However, there is a risk of nutrient loss to surface and ground waters from land application. The aim of this study was to use aerobic woodchip filters to remove organic matter, suspended solids (SS) and nutrients from DSW. This novel treatment me...

The removal of metals from wastewaters is becoming an important issue, with new environmental quality standards putting increased regulatory pressure on operators of sewage treatment works. The use of additional processes (tertiary treatment) following two-stage biological treatment is frequently seen as a way of improving effluent quality for nutrients and suspended solids, and this study inve...

In a large-scale pilot plant, studies on wet-mechanical treatment of bottom ash using the SYNCOM-Plus process were carried out by MARTIN GmbH in the SYNCOM waste-toenergy plant in Arnoldstein, Austria (approx. 11000 kg/h waste throughput). Granulate of > 2 mm and fine fraction of < 5 mm were produced by dry screening, washing and wet screening. Additionally, sludge was separated from the wash w...

The conventional treatment of distillery effluent including to secondary biologically treatment leaves excessive residue for disposal in surface water and onto the land. Optimal sub-surface loading of Phragmites karka tolerate distillery waste and achieve sustainable zero discharge. Pilot investigations established that subsurface loading into soil matrix (three part river sand, one part pebble...

14 Dairy soiled water (DSW) is produced on dairy farms through the washing-down of 15 milking parlours and holding areas, and is generally applied to land. However, there is 16 a risk of nutrient loss to surface and ground waters from land application. The aim of 17 this study was to use aerobic woodchip filters to remove organic matter, suspended 18 solids (SS) and nutrients from DSW. This nov...

Various techniques such as physical, chemical, biological, advanced oxidation and electrochemical are used for the treatment of industrial effluent. The commonly used conventional biological treatment processes are time consuming, need large operational area and are not effective for effluent containing toxic elements. Advanced oxidation techniques result in high treatment cost and are generall...
