Vehicle Washing (Doorsmeer) Wastewater Treatment using Flotation Electroagulation Combination

Dissolved Air Flotation in Industrial Wastewater Treatment

laundry wastewater treatment using electrocoagulation/flotation and electro-fenton processes

several laundry houses throughout tehran consume a large amount of water each day and discharge the resulting wastewater into septic tanks or municipal sewage system without any suitable pretreatment. this would result in severe contamination and other serious environmental issues. in the present study, performance of electrocoagulation/flotation process with aluminum and iron electrodes is com...

A dispersed-ozone flotation (DOF) separator for tertiary wastewater treatment.

A dispersed-ozone flotation (DOF) separator was devised for a pilot study of tertiary wastewater treatment for re-use purposes. As a compact device combining coagulation, ozonation and flotation in an integrated unit, the DOF separator achieved a very high removal of SS, TOC, UV254 and colour, as well as effective inactivation of coliform and total bacteria within a short hydraulic retention ti...

New Developments in Mixing, Flocculation and Flotation for Industrial Wastewater Pretreatment and Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Solid/liquid separations are commonly the first step in any wastewater treatment. Such technologies are mature and new developments are rare. However, in the last decade some significant improvements in separation techniques for industrial wastewater pretreatment have been implemented. Advances in the technology include more efficient, faster centrifugal mixing of treatment chemicals and wastew...

Modelling of the Dispersed Air Flotation Process Applied to Dairy Wastewater Treatment

The aim of this work was to develop a mathematical model for a continuously operating flotation tank to provide the scale-up and optimization of the separation system. The fluid dynamic of the tank was assumed to be a perfect mixture and the flotation kinetics to be a first-order reaction, as suggested by the batch operation. The experiments were carried out in a continuously operating 60 L tan...
