This study was carried out to assess the efficiency of a combined system consisting of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) system for color removal from reactive dyes wastewater. The UASB reactor and DHS system were operated at HRT of 6 and 2.0 h., respectively. The results obtained indicated that, the combined system was quite effective for remova...

in the present study, the treatment of tannery wastewater was performed by electrocoagulationmethod (ec) using aluminium and steel electrodes. response surface methodology (rsm) with three factors; current density (i), electrolysis time (t) and ph, with each factor at five levels, was used to optimize the factors for higher chemical oxygen demand (cod) and total suspended solids (tss) removal. ...

Constructed wetlands have emerged as a viable alternative for secondary treatment of domestic wastewater in areas with landscape limitations, poor soil conditions, and high water tables, which limit installation of full-scale adsorption fields. Existing information on the effects of macrophytes on treatment performance is contradictory and mostly derived from greenhouse mesocosm experiments. Th...

Field testing of a proprietary stormwater treatment device was undertaken over 14 months at a site located in Nambour, South East Queensland. Testing was undertaken to evaluate the pollution removal performance of a Stormceptorr treatment train for removing total suspended solids (TSS), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorous (TP) from stormwater runoff. Water quality sampling was undertaken ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether continuous flow SBR could provide efficient pollutant removal in domestic wastewater. The experiment was carried out using a pilot scale at Tehran University of Medical Sciences and in wastewater treatment plant. The results showed that 97.7% of BOD removal, 94.9% COD removal, 85.4% TKN removal, 71.4 % TN removal, 55.9% TP removal and 99% TSS r...

A circular gravity-phase separator using coalescing medium with cross flow was developed to remove oil and suspended solids from wastewaters. Coalescence medium in the form of inclined plates promotes rising of oil droplets through coalescence and settling of solid particles through coagulation. It exhibits 22.67% higher removal of total suspended solids (TSS) compared to separators without coa...

BACKGROUND Refractive change can be caused by systemic illnesses such as Lupus erythematosus, thyroid deficiency, and diabetes mellitus. However, refractive change after pituitary tumor removal has so far not been reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old woman presented with blurred near vision 10 days after trans-sphenoidal surgery (TSS) for a pituitary tumor. Around the same time, she expe...

background: untreated leachate is being discharged into the environment in many countries worldwide. leachate treatment methods have not been unified so far due to the variable composition of leachate. moreover, the lack of appropriate treatment and disposal of leachate causes environmental pollution. this study aimed to compare removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (cod) and total suspe...
