biosorption vanadium recovery from fossil fuel power plant wastewater
Authors
abstract
fossil fuel power plant is one of the most important sources of environmental pollution of the vanadium toxic metal. this survey showed that the penicilium austuranium is the best microorganism for biosorption of vanadium isolated from environment of fossil fuel power plant. to determine the optimum ph and most biosorption and accumulation of vanadium by these fungi, power plants wastewater, passed through a cylindrical laboratory vessel, containing a great mass of this microorganism. when the concentration of 1000 ppm vanadium solution with 120 m1/h speeds, was passed through the above mentioned container, after 10 min, the laboratory experiment showed that the absorption was 100% and by the concentration, the time, was reduced. the best biosorption occurred with ph lower than 2, because vanadium acted as a cationic element, but in ph more than 2, vanadium was adsorbed to the cell fungi as anionic element and the sorption reduced. the alkaline condition stopped the vanadium sorption on the outer surface of the fungi. for isolation and recovery of vanadium, one can use water from distributed water supply networks.

Fossil Fuel Power Plant Simulators for Operator Training
Before the 1970 ́s the use of simulators to train the operation personnel of the power plants was not widely diffused. In these times, the operators acquire their skills by working head to head with some experienced operators in the actual plant, so they learned all the knowledge of their mentor, this means, all the virtues and defects of the experienced people. As expected, the trainees also re...

A method for treating fuel oil and waste water of power plant is suggested which is including vanadium elimination through contacting with humic acid coated magnetic nano-adsorbent. The nano-adsorbent was modified with humic acid (HA) as a compound having carboxyl, hydroxyl and amin functional groups. HA/Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by a co-precipitation procedure and were character...

The effects of ammonium (NH4) and magnesium (Mg) on the precipitation of phosphorus in artificial wastewater by an air-cathode single-chamber microbial fuel cell were investigated. When both NH4 and Mg were added to the wastewater, phosphorus was precipitated as struvite. Almost no precipitation occurred with the addition of only NH4, while phosphorus was precipitated as cattiite with the addit...

Nitrogen is one of major contaminants in wastewater; however, nitrogen, as bio-elements for crop growth, is the indispensable fertilizer in agriculture. In this study, two-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were first operated with microorganisms in anode chamber and potassium ferricyanide as catholyte. After being successfully startup, the two-chamber MFCs were re-constructed to three-chamber...
