up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) treatment has proved its efficiency among other treatment methods especially for hardly degradable wastewaters such as industrial wastewaters and leachate. uasb is a widely used reactor with a resistance biomass. waste landfills' leachate is one of the most polluted wastewaters which cause great concerns due to landfill implementations for municipal ...

Dairy wastewater is enriched in organic matter (about 45-72 g/l, COD) and also contains biodegradable carbohydrates. A three-stage system, NRBC was fabricated as a bench scale unit for lab experiments, to remove organic carbon from the whey. The fabricated NRBC had several advantages, such as quick start-up, high biomass concentration and was additionally able to handle high organic loading rat...

background: in this study, ferrate (vi) and ultraviolet (uv) radiation were employed to remove hydrogen sulfide from municipal wastewater resulting in a reduction in chemical oxygen demand (cod). although ferrate (vi) and uv have been used individually for the removal of a few pollutants from urban and industrial wastewater, there exists no study to investigate the effectiveness of simultaneous...

Batch studies were conducted on degradation of anaerobically digested distillery wastewater by three bacterial strains, viz. Xanthomonas fragariae, Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus cereus in free and immobilized form, isolated from the activated sludge of a distillery wastewater treatment plant. The removal of COD and colour with all the three strains increased with time up to 48 hr and only ma...

background: the effective size of the end grain of horizontal roughing filters (hrfs) is larger than 2 mm. this study aimed to examine the efficiency of hrfs in removing nitrate, phosphate, and chemical oxygen demand (cod) from effluent of a wastewater stabilization pond. methods: this experimental study was conducted in 2013. the pilot project was transferred to the karaj wastewater treatment ...

This study was carried out to assess the efficiency of a combined system consisting of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) system for color removal from reactive dyes wastewater. The UASB reactor and DHS system were operated at HRT of 6 and 2.0 h., respectively. The results obtained indicated that, the combined system was quite effective for remova...
