Wastewater treatment processes for the removal of emerging organic pollutants

Removal of selected organic pollutants in anaerobic wastewater treatment process

Aromatic compounds belong to one of most widely distributed classes of organic substances used in industry, services and households and, therefore they are relatively often measured in municipal wastewater. Their efficient biological degradation is essential to reduce the subsequent disposal of such substances into the waters of the receiver, or release into the atmosphere. The mineralization o...

Advantages for Radiation Treatment of Emerging Organic Pollutants: The treatment of Emerging Organic Pollutants using oxidative radicals

The hydroxyl radical induced decomposition of sulfonamide type antibiotics in dilute aqueous solutions was studied by a wide variety of analytical techniques. The degradation products were identified by LC/MS-MS, GC-MS, and ion chromatography. A new LC/MS-MS multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) database was set up for further identification purposes. ICP-MS, COD, BOD and TOC measurements were us...

Electrochemical oxidation of organic pollutants for the wastewater treatment: direct and indirect processes.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in finding innovative solutions for the efficient removal of contaminants from water, soil and air. The present tutorial review summarizes the results of an extensive selection of papers dealing with electrochemical oxidation, which is proposed as an alternative for treating polluted wastes. Both the direct and indirect approaches are consider...

Physico-chemical Processes for Organic Removal from Wastewater Effluent

Application of mine waste for wastewater treatment: Efficient organic pollutant removal

In this research, a high porous silicate mining waste that was prepared from Syah Kamar Polymetal Porphyry mine in order to malachite green dye (MG) removal has been applied. The characterization of this natural mineral was determined using the XRD, XRF, SEM and FT-IR analysis. The MG adsorption onto high porous activated waste was studied based on the parameters of pH, temperature, adsorbent d...
