Textile waste water treatment for industrial reuse remains as a complicated problem due to several reasons. Among them are: 1) Higher levels of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) content of the waste water; 2) Non-biodegradable nature of organic dye stuffs present in the effluent. Thus, any adopted treatment system, especially with resp...

in the present study, the treatment of tannery wastewater was performed by electrocoagulationmethod (ec) using aluminium and steel electrodes. response surface methodology (rsm) with three factors; current density (i), electrolysis time (t) and ph, with each factor at five levels, was used to optimize the factors for higher chemical oxygen demand (cod) and total suspended solids (tss) removal. ...

The present study aimed to assess and compare the ability to remediate synthetic textile and industrial wastewaters by Fenton treatment, a biological system and sequential treatments using Aspergillus niger (A. niger). All studied treatments were found to be effective in decolorization of the effluents under study. Fenton treatment followed by A. niger showed excellent potential for the maximum...

*Corresponding author Email: [email protected] In this work, the treatment of organics present in printing ink wastewaters such as dyes (methylene blue and rhodamine B), surfactants (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate), and solvents (ethylene glycol), as well as actual printing ink wastewaters by advanced oxidation processes, namely conductive diamond electrochemical oxidation (CDEO), Fenton...

The leachates produced at the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill of Asturias (Spain) were submitted to a biological treatment consisting of a pressurized nitrification-denitrification process followed by ultrafiltration. The effluent from this treatment plant has a high chemical oxygen demand : biochemical oxygen demand (COD : BOD( 5)) ratio (about 25 : 1). The COD values of the effluent are ...

This study aims to evaluate the use of oxidation reduction potential (ORP) to regulate the injection of a small amount of oxygen into an anaerobic digester for reducing H2S concentration in biogas. The results confirm that micro-oxygen injection can be effective for controlling H2S formation during anaerobic digestion without disturbing the performance of the digester. Biogas production, compos...

Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a synthetical indicator which represents the degree of organic pollution in water. The near-infrared (NIR) transmission and the UV absorbance method based on photoelectric detection technology and spectroscopy analysis have some advantages such as high precision, speed, non-contact, no secondary pollution etc compared to conventional wet chemical method. The NIR ...
