This paper reports on the development of hybrid water treatment technologies that take advantage of the attributes of activated carbon adsorption and Fenton oxidation through the development of novel hybrid process schemes: i) a continuous Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) – Fenton process using a dilute suspension of PAC in a well-mixed reactor vessel connected to a submerged ultrafiltration (UF...

aims: in biological wastewater treatment processes, a large amount of sludge is produced. stabilization of sludge is essential before disposal because of the risks to human health and environment. therefore, selecting an appropriate process for stabilization this sludge may efficiently decrease risks. the aim of this study was to examine the compound efficiency of the advanced fenton and ozonat...

Background The recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass offers a series of challenges for biochemical processing into biofuels and bio-products. For the first time, we address these challenges with a biomimetic system via a mild yet rapid Fenton reaction and lignocellulose-degrading bacterial strain Cupriavidus basilensis B-8 (here after B-8) to pretreat the rice straw (RS) by mimicking the nat...

BACKGROUND Lignocellulolytic bacteria have revealed to be a promising source for biofuel production, yet the underlying mechanisms are still worth exploring. Our previous study inferred that the highly efficient lignocellulose degradation by bacterium Pantoea ananatis Sd-1 might involve Fenton chemistry (Fe2+ + H2O2 + H+ → Fe3+ + OH· + H2O), similar to that of white-rot and brown-rot fungi. The...

Leachate pollution is one of the main problems in landfilling. Among the most problematic parameters in stabilized leachate are COD, ammonia, and color. The treatment technology that can be used may differ based on the type of leachate produced. Even after treatment, the effluent characteristics are always hard to comply with the discharge standard. Ozonation is one of the chemical processes th...

the performance of a plug flow electrocoagulation reactor for the treatment of cattle abattoir(slaughterhouse) wastewater was investigated. a cylindrical iron reactor was operated as a cathode at arecycling batch mode while three iron rods located at the center of the reactor were used as an anode. theeffects of different parameters, including the current density, the supporting electrolyte dos...
