The nutrients Phosphorous, Nitrogen and Carbon are essential for aquatic life. However, in excess they also cause serious problems. For this reason, wastewater treatment must meet nutrient effluent limits. A sample was taken near Dhahibah village from the Erbil channel north of Iraq. In experiment, pure cultures Aspergillus niger Candida albicans were used to treat wastewater. Samples measured ...

A full scale swine (300 pigs) waste treatment system, including a solid/liquid separation unit (3 m) with a solids holding tank (1.2 m) and a liquid holding tank (20 m), two anaerobic reactors (10 m each) in series, an intermittent aeration unit (20 m), a sedimentation/polishing unit (20 m) and a sludge dewatering bed (17 m), was used to investigate the impact of integrating an intermittent aer...

Olive oil mill wastewaters (OOMW) represent a significant environmental problem especially in the Mediterranean, the main olive oil production region in the world. Characterization of OOMW is carried out by determination of various parameters, such as BOD5, COD and content of total phenols. The aim of this paper is to evaluate existing (physical, biological etc.) and emerging technologies for a...

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...

introduction: sequential batch reactor (sbr) is one of the modified biological treatment systems which is able to remove bod5, nitrogen, and phosphorus from wastewater. the object of this study is to determine the removal efficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals from municipal wastewater by the advanced sbr system. methods: this descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was c...

Microalgae have been increasingly used for wastewater treatment due to their capacity assimilate nutrients. Samples of were taken from the Erbil channel near Dhahibha village in northern Iraq. The microalga Coelastrella sp. was three doses (0.2, 1, and 2g. l-1) this experiment 21 days, samples periodically (every 3 days) analyzed physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, Phosphate, Nitrate, BO...
