Background Phenols are chemical compounds which are included in the high priority of pollutants by environmental protection agency (USEPA). The presence of high concentrations of phenols in wastewaters like oil refineries, petrochemical plants, olive oil, pesticide production and oil field operations contain high soluble solids (TDS) and in an olive oil plant, wastewater is acidic, high salty a...

Abstract Many wastewater treatment plants are dependent on the utilization of microorganisms in biofilms. Our knowledge about establishment these biofilms is limited, particular with respect to involved enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). These rely polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs), requiring alternating oxic and anaerobic conditions for phosphorous uptake. This challenge ...

مادة آلی محلول رنگی (CDOM) مقیاس مهمی در سنجش کیفیت آب است. می‌توان اذعان کرد CDOM نور موجود لایه‌های را کاهش می‌دهد و فعالیت‌های بیولوژیکی فتوسنتز مختل می‌کند سرانجام، مانع رشد جمعیت فیتوپلانکتون‌‌هایی می‌شود که برای زنجیرة غذای آبزیان ضروری‌اند. بیشتر تحقیق‌هایی تا کنون به انجام رسیده، از طول موج خاصی اندازه‌گیری ضریب جذب استفاده شده است اما، این تحقیق، امکان گسترة‌ وسیعی باندهای طیف مرئی، تع...
