Biotreatment of oily wastewater by rhamnolipids in aerated active sludge system

Alkaline textile wastewater biotreatment: A sulfate-reducing granular sludge based lab-scale study.

In this study the feasibility of treating dyeing wastewater with sulfate reducing granular sludge was explored, focusing on decolorization/degradation of azo dye (Procion Red HE-7B) and the performance of microbial consortia under alkaline conditions (pH=11). Efficiency of HE-7B degradation was influenced strongly by the chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration which was examined in the range...

Recovering Magnetic Powder from Sludge Discharged during Magnetic Separation of Oily Wastewater at Oil Production Sites

Bioremediation of oily sludge-contaminated soil by stimulating indigenous microbes.

In situ bioremediation of oily sludge-contaminated soil by biostimulation of indigenous microbes through adding manure was conducted at the Shengli oilfield in northern China. After bioremediation for 360 days, total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) content was reduced by 58.2% in the treated plots compared with only 15.6% in the control plot. Moreover, bioremediation significantly improved the phys...

Fluorescent component and complexation mechanism of extracellular polymeric substances during dye wastewater biotreatment by anaerobic granular sludge

In this study, methylene blue (MB) wastewater was biotreated by anaerobic granular sludge (AnGS), and the fluorescent components of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and complexation mechanism were evaluated. Based on the experimental data, the sorption of MB by both live and inactivated AnGS followed the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption isotherm conformed well to the Langmu...

Microbiological Air Pollution in the Surroundings of the Wastewater Treatment Plant with Activated-Sludge Tanks Aerated by Horizontal Rotors

Wastewater treatment plants affect the environment in many different ways. It can be assumed that the intensity and range of microbiological emission is the crucial factor in determining the range of restrictedusage zone. This paper presents emission levels of microbiological pollutants from the wastewater treatment plant in Bartoszyce, Poland. It is a new plant with multifunctional activated-s...
