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

Pollutant removal by Canna Generalis in tropical constructed wetlands for domestic wastewater treatment

Constructed wetlands have not been commonly used in Vietnam due to the lack of information in the selection of proper types of constructed wetlands, type of reeds, design parameters and performance efficiency, in tropical climates. This paper focuses on Canna generalis, which is a common reed and easy to grow both in water and wet land conditions. Two kinds of hybrid constructed wetlan...

Microbial Phosphorus Removal in Waste Stabilisation Pond Wastewater Treatment Systems

Waste Stabilisation Ponds (WSPs) are characterised by low phosphorus (P) removal capacity. Heterotrophic bacteria are principal microbial agents in WSPs in addition to algae. As treatment proceeds in WSPs, algal growth increases and pH rises, this has lead to believe that P removal is mainly through sedimentation as organic P algal biomass and precipitation as inorganic P. In activated sludge t...

nickel oxide nanoparticles application as an efficient adsorbent for dye removal from synthetic wastewater treatment

background: in this study, adsorbentn process performance was assessed using nickel oxide nanoparticles for wastewater treatment containing mono azo orange ii dye in a laboratory scale. methods: the effects of various factors such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, ph and initial dye concentration were investigated. findings: based on the obtained results, the optimum ph range to dye removal is...

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...

Membrane Technology for Organic Removal in Wastewater

Evaluation of iron ochre from mine drainage treatment for removal of phosphorus from wastewater.

Treatment of polluting discharges from abandoned coal mines in the UK currently produces ca 30,000 t y(-1) of hydrous iron oxides ("ochre"), for which there is no major end-use, but which has previously been shown to have potential for removing P from wastewater and agricultural runoff. The efficiency of ochre for P removal from wastewater was investigated in experiments at two sites in the UK:...
