abstract

background: high concentration of salt makes biological treatment impossible due to bacterial plasmolysis. the present research studies the process of electrochemical oxidation efficiency and optimal levels as important factors affecting ph, salt concentration, reaction time and applied voltage. methods: the sample included graphite electrodes with specifications of 2.5 cm diameter and 15 cm height using a reactor with an optimum capacity of 1 l. sixty samples were obtained with the aid of the experiments carried out in triplicates for each factor at 5 different levels. the entire experiments were performed based on standard methods for water and waste water treatments. results: analysis of variance carried out on effect of ph, salt concentration, reaction time and flow intensity in elimination of chemical oxygen demand (cod) showed that they are significant factors affecting this process and reduce cod with a coefficient interval of 95% and test power of 80%. scheffe test showed that at optimal level, a reaction time of 1 hour, 10 g/l concentration, ph = 9 and 15 v electrical potential difference were obtained. conclusion: waste waters containing salt may contribute to the electro-oxidation process due to its cations and anions. therefore, the process of electrochemical oxidation with graphite electrodes could be a proper strategy for the treatment of saline wastewater where biological treatment is not possible.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Chemical Oxidation Process For The Treatment Of Antibiotic Wastewater

There is growing concern from the scientific community that pharmaceutical compounds are not treated sufficiently by current wastewater treatment methods and therefore trace amounts of such compounds are being identified in surface water, ground water and sewage effluents. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are now being proposed for the specific treatment of industrial wastewaters and wastewa...
