The separation (or removal) of organic residues from aqueous waste streams released from industries is important and essential from the points of view of pollution control and recovery of useful materials. The disposal of waste waters containing most widely-used industrial organic acids such as acetic acid, formic acid and propionic acid has been recognized as a significant expense to the indus...

Biofloc systems were developed to improve environmental control over production. In places where water is scarce or land is expensive, more intensive forms of aquaculture must be practiced for cost-effective production. There are strong economic incentives for an aquaculture business to be more efficient with production inputs, especially the most costly (feed) and most limiting (water or land)...

background: recently, there has been a great concern about the consumption of dyes because of their toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and persistence in the aquatic environment. reactive dyes are widely used in textile industry. advanced oxidation processes are one of the cost-effective methods for the removal of these dyes. the main aims of this study were determining the feasibility of...

aims: in biological wastewater treatment processes, a large amount of sludge is produced. stabilization of sludge is essential before disposal because of the risks to human health and environment. therefore, selecting an appropriate process for stabilization this sludge may efficiently decrease risks. the aim of this study was to examine the compound efficiency of the advanced fenton and ozonat...

adsorption is a fundamental process in the physicochemical treatment of wastewaters which industries employ to reduce hazardous organic and inorganic wastes in effluents. in recent years the use of low-cost adsorbents has been widely investigated as a replacement for the currently costly methods of removing heavy metal ions from wastewater. it is well-known that cellulosic waste materials can b...

the influence of flour content and immersion time in water on the creep behavior of composites made from high density polyethylene (hdpe) waste and mdf (medium density fiberboard) flour was investigated. mixing was carried out by a twin screw extruder and the sample was manufactured by flat hot press. firstly, the modulus of elasticity and bending strength of various mdf flour-polyethylene comp...

background diesel oil hydrocarbons are the most common contaminants of our biological environment. considering the fact that iran is one of the major producers of diesel oil products, it greatly contributes to soil and water pollution. currently, soil and water pollutions caused by diesel oil products leakage, from distribution stations, is one of the major concerns in iran. based on the studie...

Methane was generated from cotton waste, while considering its pollution in textile industries. Cotton waste includes solid content and is rich in cellulose having a moisture content of 8.8%. It is difficult to form slurry as the waste float on water and hence an experimental set up has been made like a batch type digester and experiments were conducted with a different proposition of water wit...

The environmental performance of industrial anaerobic digestion (AD), pyrolysis, and integrated system (AD sequence with pyrolysis) on food waste treatment were evaluated using life cycle assessment. The integrated treatment system indicated similar environmental benefits to AD with the highest benefits in climate change and water depletion in addition to the increased energy generation potenti...

The effects of adding of a range of organic amendments (biosolids, spent mushroom compost, green waste compost and green waste-derived biochar), at two rates, on some key chemical, physical and microbial properties of bauxite processing sand were studied in a laboratory incubation study. Addition of all amendments tended to decrease bulk density and macroporosity but increase total porosity, av...
