The chemical coagulation methods have been using successfully for treatment of textile wastewaters which have high color, COD and TOC contents. The coagulants have adsorption capability and constitute hydroxide compounds with dissolved substances in colored wastewaters.The greatest advantage of the coagulation method is to decrease further COD values than the other methods. The disadvantages of...

heavy metals and dyes are major contributors in contamination of water streams. these contaminants enter into our eco- system, thus posing a significant threat to public health, ecological equilibrium and environment. thus a combined discharge of these contaminants results in water pollution with high chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, color, particulate matter, suspended particl...

The use of novel flocculants in combination with a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for the treatment landfill leachate and municipal wastewater has been shown to be an effective method reducing polluted effluents. Co-treatment mixture was performed at 5%, 10%, 15% 20% SBR effluent treated by coagulation–flocculation. 6 d hydraulic retention time (HRT) 30 solids (SRT) removed 58 70% COD, 86 93% a...

Pseudomonas otitidis WL-13, which has a high capacity to decolorize triphenylmethane dyes, was isolated from activated sludge obtained from a wastewater treatment plant of a dyeing industry. This strain exhibited a remarkable color-removal capability when tested against several triphenylmethane dyes under both shaking and static conditions at high concentrations of dyes. More than 95% of Malach...

Adsorption and water treatment of Ca (II) and Mg (II) hardness were investigated via adsorption of metal ions onto commercial polyacrylic acid hydrogel beads as a novel sorbent for metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+) removal and water treatment. Batch equilibrium technique was carried out under the influence of solution pH, contact time, sorbent dosage, initial metal concentration and...

In the present study the treatment efficiency of O3 and UV+O3 processes were compared for the oxidation of simulated dyebath effluent containing a mixture of a reactive dye (C.I. Reactive Blue 19) and various dye auxiliary chemicals. The color, COD and TOC removal rates were assessed for different processes. The effect of initial dye concentration and presence of sodium hydroxide and sodium car...
