Experimental Methods in Wastewater Treatment

Experimental Protocol for Detecting SARS-CoV-2 in Screenings and Grit Samples of Wastewater Treatment Plants

Introduction: Although various liquid, solid, and gaseous streams of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been analyzed in many studies for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, no study was found to sample and detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in screenings and grit samples separated from primary treatment units of WWTP. Hence, this study aims to provide an experimental protocol for sampling and extracting ...

Modeling and Experimental Prediction of Wastewater Treatment Efficiency in Oil Refineries Using Activated Sludge Process

In this study, activated sludge process for wastewater treatment in a refinery was investigated. For such purpose, a laboratory scale rig was built. The effect of several parameters such as temperature, residence time, effect of Leca (filling-in percentage of the reactor by Leca) and UV radiation on COD removal efficiency were experimentally examined. Maximum COD removal efficiency was obtained...

Study on Treatment Methods of Phenol in industrial Wastewater

Li Si, Kong Ruixue, Sun Lin, Li Sifan, Yang Shuangchun* (Liaoning Shihua University. Fushun, Liaoning, China. 113001) Abstract—Industrial wastewater is a kind of wastewater that generate in the industrial production process. The wastewater from refining and coal carbonization contains high concentration of phenols pollutants. In this paper, study on phenol treatment methods in industrial wastew...

Treatment of cosmetic wastewater using physicochemical and chemical methods

Anaerobic Methods of Distillery Waste and Wastewater Treatment

During alcohol production, large amounts of waste and wastewater are produced. These may have a considerable environmental impact by polluting both water bodies and soil, by causing an adverse climatic effect and odour nuisance. Due to the high concentration of organic matter, both distillery waste and wastewater at the same time do have a great nutrient and energy potential that can be utilise...
