Removal efficiency of COD, NH4-N and PO4-P and NO3-N in five step SBR processes is widely influenced by hydraulic retention time of Anaerobic/Anoxic/Aerobic/Anoxic/Aerobic step of this system where the hydraulic retention time in each step is influence directly on removal efficiency of this system therefore the operator of this system cannot control on this system without experience or a contro...

In this work, the fast remediation of tert-butyl mercaptan from the polluted soil via a bimetallic Fenton treatment that included Fe2+/Fe3+/Fe0/Cu2+ in the presence of gasoline was studied. The analysis of variance and the Pareto analysis resulting from the central composite design (CCD) showed that the H2O2, CuSO4<...

Application of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) for Zn²⁺ removal and its mechanism were discussed. It demonstrated that the uptake of Zn²⁺ by nZVI was efficient. With the solids concentration of 1 g/L nZVI, more than 85% of Zn²⁺ could be removed within 2 h. The pH value and dissolved oxygen (DO) were the important factors of Zn²⁺ removal by nZVI. The DO enhanced the removal efficiency of Z...

behaviors of simultaneous removal of no and so2 using the coculture of anaerobic denitrifying bacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria were investigated in a bench-scale biotrickling-filter. approximate 20 days were required to use the landfill leachate as the microbial seed to develop the biofilm on the surface of packing material. when the combined no/so2 removal biotrickling-filter was operate...

introduction: the objective of this study was, wastewater quality investigation and removal efficiency of contaminants from the wastewater tile factory by using  coagulants includes ferric chloride, ferric sulfate and ferrous, aluminum sulfate and poly aluminum chloride in order to reuse it in the processing line. methods: this is an applied study. with regard to shiftwork schedules of the fact...

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...

Copper and hexavalent chromium are heavy metals that are harmful to human health. Natural adsorbent chitosan, due to its considerable properties such as the presence of functional groups of –NH2 and -OH, non-toxicity, low cost, and biocompatibility, has gained much attention in pollutant removal. Therefore, in the present study, adsorption of chromium (VI) and copper (II) ions was conducted in ...
