Much attention has recently been devoted to the life and behaviour of pharmaceuticals in the water cycle. In this study the behaviour of several pharmaceutical products in different therapeutic categories (analgesics and antiinflammatory drugs, lipid regulators, antibiotics, etc.) was monitored during treatment of wastewater in a laboratoryscale membrane bioreactor (MBR). The results were compa...

Abstract The fish canning industries produce a large amount of wastewater. high-strength wastewater from processing industry is great concern worldwide. This type rich in organic matter and has high total dissolved solids (TDS). elimination salts usually expensive and, on the other hand, salinity seasonal variation effluent characteristics make removal difficult using only biological process. F...

The removal of trace organics by a membrane bioreactor-granular activated carbon (MBR-GAC) integrated system were investigated. The results confirmed that MBR treatment can be effective for the removal of hydrophobic (log D>3.2) and readily biodegradable trace organics. The data also highlighted the limitation of MBR in removing hydrophilic and persistent compounds (e.g. carbamazepine, diclofen...

Nanofiltration (NF) is promising for replacing reverse osmosis boron removal more effectively and at a higher energy efficiency. However, the interplay of steric charge effects underlying rejection behaviors solutes smaller than membrane pore size remained incompletely understood, which impedes implementation. This study investigated influence pH NaCl concentration on boric acid/borate by Desal...

Urban landfill leachate is a high strength wastewater characterized by high concentrations of recalcitrant organic compounds, ammonia and, increasingly, arsenic. The aims of this study were the review on membrane bioreactor, ion exchange and adsorption method for landfill leachate treatment. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) can be used for wastewater and landfill leachate treatment. The most important...

the effects of three levels of transmembrane pressure (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mpa) as well as three temperature  levels of: 30, 40 and 50°c on the efficiency of nanofiltration process of waste brine from the regeneration of ion exchange resins at sugar industry (to recover water and sodium chloride) were investigated throughout the current study. the polyamide tubular afc40 membrane manufactured by p...

In this study, effects of organic loading rates on biological nutrient removal and in an MBR based nutrient removal system were investigated. Furthermore, trans-membrane pressure at different applied conditions was monitored to observe impact on membrane fouling Three different levels of CODinf and three HRTs (4, 5 & 8 hrs) were applied. An improved performance with 74 % & 89% of TN & TP remova...

Water is the material basis for living organisms and one of primary resources to maintain sustainable development earth’s ecological environment. As a water purification method, nanofiltration (NF) separation technology has been widely considered by researchers in recent years. However, most studies on NF literature focus membrane modification, there are only few reviews available. In this pape...
