Simultaneous nitrate and organic matter removal from a dairy effluent by biodenitrification

Removal of natural organic matter from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation

Natural organic matter (NOM) affects some qualitative parameters of water such as color. In addition, it can deteriorate the performance of water treatment process including coagulation, adsorption, and membranes. NOM also reacts with chlorine in the chlorination process and may form disinfection by-products. The present study was carried out in laboratory-scale in a batch system using a cylind...

Simultaneous Removal of Nitrate and Natural Organic Matter from Drinking Water Using a Hybrid Heterotrophic/Autotrophic/Biological Activated Carbon Bioreactor.

Simultaneous removal of nitrate ([Formula: see text]) and natural organic matter (NOM) from drinking water using a hybrid heterotrophic/autotrophic/BAC bioreactor (HHABB) was studied in continuous mode. The HHABB consisted of three compartments: ethanol heterotrophic part, sulfur autotrophic part, and biological activated carbon (BAC)-part (including anoxic and aerobic sections). Experiments we...

Removal of boron, fluoride and nitrate by electrodialysis in the presence of organic matter

14 The removal of the trace inorganic contaminants boron (B(OH)4 ), fluoride (F ) and nitrate (NO3 ) 15 from synthetic aqueous solutions containing organic matter using electrodialysis was investigated. 16 The transport of the contaminants through the ion-exchange membranes was evaluated in relation 17 to hydrated ionic radius, whereby a positive correlation was found in absence of organic matt...

Physico-chemical Processes for Organic Removal from Wastewater Effluent

Simultaneous removal of nitrate and heavy metals by iron metal.

Great attention should be paid now to simultaneously removing common pollutants, especially inorganic pollutants such as nitrate and heavy metals, as individual removal has been investigated extensively. Removing common pollutants simultaneously by iron metal is a very effective alternative method. Near neutral pH, heavy metals, such as copper and nickel, can be removed rapidly by iron metal, w...
