over the past few years, residual pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antipyretics drugs, hormones) have begun to be considered as emerging environmental pollutants due to their continuous input and persistence to aquatic ecosystem even at low concentrations. therefore, the development of efficient, cost-effective, and stable methods and materials for the wastewaters treatment have g...

to day, the activated carbon is being used to treat the industrial and domestic wastewaters. the suitability of activated carbon for treatment of industrial wastewaters can be quickly predicted by consideration of wastewater characteristics. the results of this paper represent a first step in determining suitability of activated carbon for treatment of wastewaters or effluent of treatment plant...

BACKGROUND Pollution due to the heavy metals is a problem that may have negative consequences on the hydrosphere. One of the best procedures in removing the toxic metals from the environment is using metal resistant bacteria. RESULTS In the present study eight nickel resistant bacteria were isolated from industrial wastewaters. Three of them were selected as the most resistant based on their ...

The objectives of the research were to evaluate a magnetite-based adsorption process as an alternative treatment technique for removing metals from industrial wastewaters. A composite adsorbent was prepared b precipitating sorption, magnetic separation, and desorption process to recover Cr or Zn from solution The process was effective, but performance decreased when the adsorbent was recycled. ...

We investigated the conventional characterisation and biological treatability of wastewaters of the “Izmit Industrial and Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant”. Respirometric procedures were carried out for the experimental assessment of organic contents of wastewater. The mean value of total COD was 1201 mg·l-1 and varied within a wide range of 580 to 1822 mg·l-1 for the 14 different influents....

Removal of hazardous organic dyes from polluted water bodies requires the introduction strong adsorbents and photocatalysts to industrial wastewaters. Herein, photocatalytic CeO2 nanoparticles CeO2/CuO nanocomposite were synthesized following a co-precipitation method for low cost elution methylene blue (MB) water. The crystallinity surface structure as-prepared materials have been analyzed usi...
