Abstract Olive oil production generates a large amount of wastewater called olive mill wastewater. This paper presents the study effect transmembrane pressure and cross flow velocity on decrease in permeate flux different ultrafiltration membranes (material pore size) when treating two-phase (olive washing wastewater). Both semi-empirical models (Hermia adapted to tangential filtration, combine...

Princeton WordNet (PWN) is one of the most influential resources for semantic descriptions, and is extensively used in natural language processing. Based on PWN, three Chinese wordnets have been developed: Sinica Bilingual Ontological Wordnet (BOW), Southeast University WordNet (SEW), and Taiwan University WordNet (CWN). We used SEW to sense-tag a corpus, but found some issues with coverage and...

The electrochemical treatment of olive mill wastewaters (OMW) over boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes was investigated. A factorial design methodology was implemented to evaluate the statistically important operating parameters, amongst initial COD load (1000-5000 mg/L), treatment time (1-4h), current intensity (10-20A), initial pH (4-6) and the use of 500 mg/L H(2)O(2) as an additional oxida...

Olive mill wastes (OMWs) are high-strength organic effluents, which upon disposal can degrade soil and water quality, negatively affecting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The main purpose of this review paper is to provide an up-to-date knowledge concerning the microbial communities identified over the past 20 years in olive mill wastes using both culture-dependent and independent approache...

Organic fertilization has been proposed as an alternative approach to supply nutrients for crops, in the frame of organic and sustainable agriculture, with aim decrease high inorganic rates, protect environment production costs farmers. Since different types fertilizers, such manures, olive mill wastewater (OMW), sewage sludge (SS), crushed pruning wastes, composts cover exist soil amendments i...

Curve fitting for oscillometric waveforms is vital to maximum amplitude algorithm (MAA) in blood pressure measurement. Popular methods in recent years, such as asymmetric Gaussian or Lorentzian functions, perform well when the profile of the oscillometric waveforms (OMW) are close to them. But they will have a relatively large mean square error (MSE) when the oscillometric pulse amplitude envel...

Phanerochaete flavido-alba is able to decolorize and detoxify olive oil wastewater (OMW) in a process in which simple and polymeric phenols are removed. An unusual acidic MnP is accumulated during the degradation course. This microorganism produces two families of MnPs. MnP1 has an apparent molecular weight of 45 kDa and is secreted as a mixture of isoenzymes with pI ranging from 5.6 to 4.75. M...

For building a sustainable fermentation process, it is essential to reduce dependence on natural resources and lower the amount of pollution that created. The reuse agro-industrial wastewater after possible treatment leads achievement these goals concurrently. This study investigates production citric acid cellulase enzyme by A. niger cultivated in olive mill (OMW) using loofa sponge-packed col...

Olive mill wastewater was treated by an aerobic bio-process at different values of pH (with or without addition of lime), for 45 days on a laboratory scale, to evaluate the reduction of the organic load. The lipid content showed an appreciable change in relation to the applied treatment both for total lipids and for the different fractions (neutral lipids, monoglycerides and phospholipids). 13C...
