This study investigated two methods for the removal of COD and colour from sanitary landfill leachates. The first method involved the use of coagulation/flocculation process using FeCl3 as a conventional coagulant and Ca(OH)2 as base-precipitant. The second method involved integration of Fenton’s reagent into the coagulation/flocculation process. Concentration of FeCl3 that reduced chemical oxy...

In this study the feasibility of treating dyeing wastewater with sulfate reducing granular sludge was explored, focusing on decolorization/degradation of azo dye (Procion Red HE-7B) and the performance of microbial consortia under alkaline conditions (pH=11). Efficiency of HE-7B degradation was influenced strongly by the chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration which was examined in the range...

The influence of some effective parameters on the removal efficiency of a 500 liters UASB reactor was investigated. The best conditions to removal the pollution loading is pH=7 and temperature range of 35 to 38°C. The optimal of hydraulic retention time in medium COD amounts (800-1800 mg), is 5 h and in the high COD load (1800-2600 mg) is 6 h. Furthermore, the hydraulic rate is between 0.67-0.8...

In this study, the photocatalytic method was used for treating the spent caustic in the wastewater of Olefin units used in petrochemical industries which contain large amounts of total dissolved solids (TDS). By using the synthetic photocatalyst of suspended titanium dioxide and measuring the chemical oxygen demand (COD) which was reduced in the photocatalyst (lbc) process, the values of COD we...

introduction:expensive chemical tests are usuallyapplied to control the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants. however, the cost of measuring these parameters is one of the challenges of the wastewater treatment plants. using statistical methods has been evaluated for possibility of calculating expensive parameters by measuring the inexpensive parameters in this study. methods:initial sampl...

one of the most important concerns in tehran municipal landfill is the production of leachate and its potential for water resources pollution, this study was undertaken to examine feasibility of biological and physico/chemical treating of high-strength landfill leachate that was collected from tehran municipal landfill. average cod of the leachate in aerobic submerged membrane bioreactor is 680...

background low-cost anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (asbr), which is widely used for controlling high-organic wastewater, is an effective method to remove chemical oxygen demand (cod). objectives the main objectives was evaluating the feasibility of using asbr in the treatment of synthetic dairy wastewater, determining its removal efficiency, and assessing the effect of temperature on operat...

Abstract—A number of toxic chlorophenolic compounds are formed during pulp bleaching. The nature and concentration of these chlorophenolic compounds largely depends upon the amount and nature of bleaching chemicals used. These compounds are highly recalcitrant and difficult to remove but are partially removed by the biochemical treatment processes adopted by the paper industry. Identification a...

In this present study the dissolved air flotation (DAF) system was investigated for the treatment of Kermanshah Oil Refinery wastewater. The effect of three parameters on flotation efficiency including of flow rate (outflow from the flotation tank), saturation pressure and coagulant dosage on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was examined experimentally. All the experiments were done under a...
