Background: In this study, ferrate (VI) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation were employed to remove hydrogen sulfide from municipal wastewater resulting in a reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD). Although ferrate (VI) and UV have been used individually for the removal of a few pollutants from urban and industrial wastewater, there exists no study to investigate the effectiveness of si...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency of flat sheet membrane bioreactor (fs-mbr) in bod 5 and cod removal of isfahan south municipal wastewater treatment plant. methods: in this study a submerged fs-mbr, with 140 liters volume was fed using microfiltration membrane (mf) during 109 days and hydraulic retention time of 20 hours. findings: the mbr application in m...

Phenol and its derivatives are pollutant compounds that are present in the wastewater of many industries. The objective of this study was to investigate the photocatalytic degradation of phenol in water containing various concentrations of sodium chloride. A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the performance of UV/ZnO process on the efficiency of phenol removal from saline water with Zn...

___ ____________ _ Six types of commercially available arterial screen filters ranging from 20 to 40 microns pore size were evaluated for their efficiency in removing particulate matter. Five filters of each of these six commercial types were tested, for a total of thirty filters. Three sizes of polystryene microspheres ranging from 25 to 53 microns in diameter were used to simulate particulate...

in this study, amine functionalized kit-6 silica mesoporous magnetite nanocomposite (nh2-mmnc) was synthesized by chemical methods and used as an efficient and recoverable adsorbent for removal of ponceau 4r, as a toxic dye, from aqueous solutions. the synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by xrd, ft-ir, bet and sem instruments. the effect of various experimental parameters on the dye r...

background: as fluoride concentration in drinking water is one of the effective parameters in human health, finding the ways to remove excess amount of fluoride is very important in water supply projects. this study aimed to evaluate mendon bauxite mine in the removal of fluoride from drinking water. methods: this experimental study was conducted from may to october 2013 on synthetic and actual...

sawdust is now being investigated as an adsorbent to remove contaminants from aqueous solution. heavy metals can be decreased very effectively with the organic material. in this research, adsorption of pb (ii) onto modified beech sawdust in a batch system was investigated. sawdust was collected from timber mill of qom, iran, and modified with h2so4 and naoh. then, the effects of various paramet...
