Zinc removal from wastewater by complexation-microfiltration process

Zinc Ion Removal from Wastewater by Electrodialysis

This paper describes a robust design method for separation of zinc ions from a solution using a laboratory electrodialysis (ED) setup. An experimental investigation is presented to determine the optimum configuration of factors for the best performance. In order to optimize the performance, the factors which have the greatest influence have to be identified and their optimum values chosen. In t...

Efficiency of Photocatalytic Ozone Process Combined with Zinc Oxide in Removal of Amoxicillin from Hospital Wastewater

Background and purpose: One of the main problems of pollution of aquatic environments is hardly biodegradable chemicals with high toxicity such as antibiotics. If they are not removed from the wastewater, particularly the hospital wastewater, many health and environmental hazards are created. Therefore, appropriate management and treatment of this type of wastewater is highly necessary. This re...

Removal of Copper and Zinc from Wastewater Using Chitosan

Biological removal of zinc from wastewater using Aspergillus sp

The present study was conducted on removal of zinc in a continuous flow system by Aspergillus sp. during its growth. The fungal strain was isolated from industrial wastewater. The experiments under continuous culture conditions were performed in two reactors of working volume 650ml and 3 litres respectively. The experiments were conducted using sugar concentrations of 10, 15 and 20g/l and at di...

Removal of Surfactants from wastewater by Rice Husk

Surfactants are one of the major components (10- 18%) of detergents and household cleaning products and are used in high volumes in developed countries. In the present research work, the ability of rice husk as a low cost adsorbent for anionic and nonionic surfactants in wastewater has been studied. The maximum removal efficiency for anionic surfactants was 97%, in an aqueous solu...
