Wastewater generated by domestic, municipal, and industrial sectors has been increasingly used, particularly in dry areas, to provide water and nutrients to agriculture, aquaculture, and agroforestry systems. While such use helps in income generation and livelihood resilience amid water scarcity, use of wastewater in untreated or inadequately treated forms may result in negative impacts on huma...

The applicability of Fenton's oxidation as an advanced treatment for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color removal from anaerobically treated poultry manure wastewater was investigated. The raw poultry manure wastewater, having a pH of 7.30 (+/-0.2) and a total COD of 12,100 (+/-910) mg/L was first treated in a 15.7 L of pilot-scale up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The UASB rea...

a newly developed natural rubber deproteinization process produces deproteinized natural rubber (dpnr) wastewater as an intermediate product containing a high concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and rubber. in this study, a novel process to recover the residual rubber and energy as methane from dpnr wastewater was developed. as a pretreatment, sds and residual rubber in dpnr wastewate...

A fully automated on-line solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-MS/MS) method has been developed for the determination of 13 cytostatics and 4 metabolites in aqueous matrices, including groundwater, surface water, and raw and treated wastewater. On-line SPE is performed by loading 5 mL of water sample at pH 2 through a PLRP-s cartridge. MS/MS is performed...

background: as a waterborne pathogen, cryptosporidium is one of the most common causes of gastroenteritis in human and hoofed livestock animals. this study aimed to investigate the distribution of cryptosporidium spp. in human and livestock wastewaters in iran, by the 18s rrna sequence analysis. methods: a total of 54 raw wastewater samples collected from three urban treatment plants and two sl...

Bilge wastewater is a high strength, typically saline wastewater, originating from operation of ships. In this study, the treatment real bilge was tested using pure isolated aerobic strains and mixed cultures (aerobic anaerobic). The Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) ecotoxicity decrease were monitored over time, while microbial dynamics alterations in also recorded. Pseudodonghicola xiamenensis, Ha...

Many industrial areas in the world, show increases in generating of wastewater nowadays. Industrialization is considered as the key factor for the development of countries in economic terms. The recognition that environmental pollution is a worldwide threat to public health has given rise to new initiatives for environmental restoration for both economic and ecological reasons. The best methods...

Textile industry can be classified into three categories viz., cotton, woolen, and synthetic fibers depending upon the used raw materials. The cotton textile industry is one of the oldest industries in China. The textile dyeing industry consumes large quantities of water and produces large volumes of wastewater from different steps in the dyeing and finishing processes. Wastewater from printing...
