in this study the dissolved air flotation (daf) system in oil refinery was investigated for the treatment of refinery wastewater. in order to investigate sytem a labratory scale rig was built. the aim is to remove some of the wastewater pollutant materials and data modeling of cod test.the effect of several parameters on flotation efficiency namely, saturator pressure, and coagulant dose, on co...

the aims of this study were to evaluate the treatment efficiency and effectiveness of vetiveria zizaniodesof two samples of unconventional water of golgohar mining and industrial company. the experimental samples were included mine wastewater and saline ground water. this research was conducted in a greenhouse at central water research laboratory of university of tehran. this experiment was des...

Batch scale activated sludge kinetic studies were undertaken for the treatment of pet food wastewater characterized by oil and grease concentrations of up to 21,500 mg/L, COD and BOD concentrations of 75,000 and 60,000 mg/L, respectively as well as effluent from the batch dissolved air flotation (DAF) system. The conducted kinetics studies showed that Haldane Model fit the substrates and biomas...

in the present study, the effects of four factors including initial sulfide concentration (mg l-1 ), agitation speed (rpm), amount of inoculums (%) and sodium concentration (mg l-1) on removal efficiency (%r) and yield of sulfate production by thioalkalivibrio versutus from synthetic spent caustic were investigated. for this purpose, experiments are designed by design of experiments (doe) and r...

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) has been used with increasing frequency in recent decades for the treatment of industrial wastewater. Advances in the technology have expanded the range of applications for DAF; however, engineers and designers frequently use outdated and insufficient design data to design and specify DAF systems for industrial pretreatment. Discussions of advances in DAF design ar...

Sulfide mineral processing often produces large quantities of wastewaters containing acid-generating inorganic sulfur compounds. If released untreated, these wastewaters can cause catastrophic environmental damage. In this study, microbial fuel cells were inoculated with acidophilic microorganisms to investigate whether inorganic sulfur compound oxidation can generate an electrical current. Cyc...

Two crucial environmental problems in Louisiana are high rates of wetland loss and surface water pollution. Using wetlands for wastewater treatment can address both of these concerns by reducing the amount of pollutant discharge into surface water bodies while simultaneously serving to restore and replenish deteriorating marshes by enhancing productivity and accretion. Using wetlands for wastew...

Application of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in adsorption process has been studied for the advanced treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. Because of entering poisonous compounds such as furfural, phenol and sulfides into the oily wastewater of Tehran refinery, biological aeration basins of wastewater treatment unit may not have the desired performance of COD reduction. In this st...
