phenol is an environmental pollutant present in industrial wastewaters such as refineries, coal processing and petrochemicals products. in this study three phenol degrading bacteria from arak petrochemical complex effluent were isolated which consume phenol. molecular analysis was used to identify bacteria and isolated bacteria were identified as rhodococcus pyridinivorans (ns1), advenella faec...

Physikalisch-chemische Beliandlungsverfaliren wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Wirksamkeit bei der Eliminierung von nichtionischen und anionischen Tensiden aus Klaranlagenablaufen gepriift. Flockulierung mit Eisen(III)-chlorid ergab eine Eliminierung von 79%; eine Batchadsorption mit Hive dreier verschiedener Aktivkohlen brachte 90 % Eliminienrng bei den anionischen und mehr ais 95% Eliminierung bei d...

Industrial and domestic sewage effluents have been found to cause reproductive disorders in wild fish, often as a result of the interference of compounds in the effluents with the endocrine system. This thesis describes laboratory-based exposure experiments and a field survey that were conducted with juveniles of the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus. This small teleost is a comm...

Common effluent treatment plant (CETP) is employed for treatment of tannery effluent. However, the performance of CETP for reducing the genotoxic substances from the raw effluent is not known. In this study, phytotoxic and genotoxic effects of tannery effluents were investigated in mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek). For this purpose, untreated and treated tannery effluents were collected f...

The environmental issues associated with residual colour in textile efnuents have posed a major challenge to environmental scientists as well as the textile colouration processors. The requirements to remove colour from textile efnuent on si te prior to discharge to sewer have been progressively tightened due to increased public complaints about coloured watercourses. Dyes are highly dispersibl...

Rock filters are an established technology for polishing waste stabilization pond effluents. However, they rapidly become anoxic and consequently do not remove ammonium-nitrogen. Horizontal-flow aerated rock filters (HFARF), developed to permit nitrification and hence ammonium-N removal, were compared with a novel vertical-flow aerated rock filter (VFARF). There were no differences in the remov...

To determine if there is release of endothelial cells or plaque contents after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, effluent from atherosclerotic segments of the aorta and iliac arteries of rabbits were collected before and after angioplasty. No endothelial cells or cholesterol plates were identified in the preangioplasty effluents. Only a few single endothelial cells and cholesterol crystals...

micro flora of the effluents from a dairy factory in tehran(pegah dairy processing plant) were isolated and screened for their ability to reduce the organic matter content and cod of the effluents. 10 bacteria were selected due to  reduction in cod content from the 4th to 6th day of incubation at 30 °c and  ph =11. highest cod reduction were obtained by two isolates, bp3 and bp4, 70.7 % and 69....

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...
