this research was done in order to determine the basic criteria for “tehran oil refinery effluemt treatmentunit” to prove the feasibility of the application of powdered activated carbon in aeration zone of activated sludge system. the main stages of this research included: determination of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of raw wastewater preparation of two pilot scale units of act...

this paper presents the results of an investigation on the effects of concentration of cations on activated sludge properties and membrane fouling in submerge membrane bioreactors. the working volume of the experimental setup was two liters. the cellulose acetate membrane was immersed in the bioreactor. the flocculability, settling properties and fouling propensity of activated sludge was measu...

biochar and activated carbon, as carbon-rich porous materials, have wide environmental applications. in the present research, rice husk (rh) was used for preparation of biochar at 400, 600, and 800 °c under simple pyrolysis, physically-activated carbon with water steam, chemically-activated carbon with potassium hydroxide (koh), and physiochemically-activated carbon with koh and steam. physical...

the effluent quality of a sewage treatment plant using activated sludge process and finally secondary treatment depends on the flocculation efficiency and settling of the flocs. the survey of various treatment processes in water and wastewater treatment shows that temperature and ph are the important factors affecting efficiency of flocculation and settling properties. this study was performed ...

carbon activated powdered was prepared from activated carbon derived from olive stone. then byusing the surface methodology, many parameters such as ph, furnace temperature (t), acid ratio,time of activation that affect on the qualities prepared activated carbon produced and its efficiencywere investigated. in addition, the adsorption of congo red onto the activated olive stone carbonactive was...

background: the widespread use of toluene and its consequent adverse effects on health and specially its chronic effects on the central nervous system has resulted in many studies being carried out on the methods that can control and reduce toluene vapors in the airflow. the objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the catalytic ozonation process in the removal of toluene from ...
