The presence of organic contaminants in industrial effluents is an environmental concern of increasing global importance. One innovative technology for treating contaminated industrial effluents is nanoscale zero-valent iron supported on biochar (nZVI/BC). Based on Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller characterizations, the nZVI was well dispersed on t...

With increasing industrial development, safe disposal of industrial effluent has become the more ecological challenge. Finding suitable eco-friendly techniques for the potential utilization of these released effluents as a source of nutrients becomes essential. The present investigation was carried out to screen the effect of different stages of dairy effluent on the germination index of Vigna ...

A total of 183 isolates of Klebsiella from drinking water, market vegetables, wood, sawdust, industrial effluents, and human and animal origin were examined for susceptibility to 10 antibacterial agents. Incidence of resistance to two or more antibiotics tested was: 65% of the human clinical isolates, 59% among bovine mastitis, and 24% among the nonclinical isolates. The five different multiple...

background: one of the most important environmental pollutants is industrial wastewaters. discharging of colorful industrial effluents to receptive waters can lead to eutrification and it has the carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. therefore, the aim of this study is evaluation of acid blue 15 dye removal by dried azolla from aqueous solution. material and methods: the azolla biomass was dri...

At present, there is a considerable interest in Hg monitoring in wastewater samples due to its widespread occurrence and the high toxicity of most of its compounds. Hg determination in water samples by means of total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (TXRF) entails some difficulties due to the high vapor pressure and low boiling point of this element that produce evaporation and loss o...

Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) processing facilities typically are located on ocean shores for easy transport of LNG by marine vessels. These plants use large quantities of water for various process streams. The combined wastewater effluents from the LNG plants are discharged to the coastal and marine environments typically through submarine outfalls. Proper disposal of effluents from an LNG plant is...

Nitrification by intertidal sediments was measured by using a tide simulator that approximated the cycle of seawater on tidal flats. Sediments were chosen from sites affected by industrial and municipal effluents and pastoral seepage and runoff. The ability of sediments from different sites to nitrify endogenous nitrogen varied markedly. All sites exhibited an initial lag before activity commen...

nanofiltration (nf) has become a widely accepted process not only for producing drinking water but also for recovering wastewater in industrial processes or removing pollutants from industrial wastewater effluent. in the textile industry, the treatment of various dye baths with nf at room temperature have already been studied and was found feasible at lab-scale and pilot scale. the aim of this ...

synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of basic blue 41 (bb41) and methylene blue (mb) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. in this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with citric acid (ca) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for remo...

Fibreboard production is one of the most important industrial activities in Galicia (Spain). Great amounts of wastewater are generated, with properties depending on the type of wood, treatment process, final product and water reusing, among others. These effluents are characterized by a high chemical oxygen demand (COD), low pH and nutrients limitation. Aerobic and anaerobic processes have been...
