in this work application of seven synthetic polymers as adsorbents for the removal of hg(ii) from aqueous solution was studied. the equilibrium studies are systematically carried out in a batch process, covering various process parameters that include agitation time, adsorbent dosage, and ph of the aqueous solution. variations of hg(ii) concentration in solution have been studied through measur...

BACKGROUND, AIM, AND SCOPE Fishery wastewater treatment can be compromised due to seasonal production. The use of sequencing batch reactors is not completely successful, despite flexibility being one of the principal advantages. Most research on activated sludge is performed using synthetic wastewater to ensure a stable and constant feed. The current work compared biomass morphology and settlin...

In order to observe the impact of different water compositions on sludge dewaterability, assessments of floc sizes using a particle size analyzer and of sludge dewaterability based on the capillary suction time (CST) test were carried out. Synthetic raw water had small floc sizes, and synthetic domestic wastewater had both larger median floc sizes and a better correlation between sludge dewater...

In this study, the removal of mercury ions by cellulose of Acetobacter xylinum was investigated in the synthetic and chlor-alkali wastewater. Biofilms of Acetobacter xylinum were grown in laboratory column bioreactors. The biofilms were continuously treated with sterile synthetic model wastewater or nonsterile, neutralized chloralkali wastewater.The extent of adsorption was studied as function ...

Mature landfill leachate was anaerobically co-digested with synthetic wastewater to evaluate the degradability and methane productivity in various mixing ratios. The proportion of leachate was increased in three equal steps from 0% to 100%, and then decreased again through the same steps back to 0%. Both COD removal efficiency and methane production decreased as the leachate proportion in the i...

enzymatic extract preparation from pseudomonas aeruginosa km110 under accession no. hq730879 with lipase activity (0.3 u/ml), was used to perform enzymatic hydrolysis pretreatment of a synthetic dairy wastewater with 1000 mg/l total fat content. the pretreatment was optimized for 48 h hydrolysis time, at 45æ% c with 10% v/v enzymatic extract. the biological treatment of synthetic dairy wastewat...

the main object of this study was to compare the natural and synthetic( naa and nam) zeolites as absorbents in removing emulsified and dissolved traces of organic compounds, which appear in the wastewater of  power plants, refinery and petrochemical complexes.  the specific objectives of the work was: a) to select the best species that have the highest amount of absorption; b) to measure the ra...

in the present study seven synthetic polymers were used as adsorbents for the removal of cd(ii) from aqueous solution. the equilibrium studies were systematically carried out in a batch process, covering various process parameters that include agitation time, adsorbent dosage, and ph of the aqueous solution. the analyzing system was an atomic absorption spectrometer (perkin-analyst 100). it was...
