the trend of sustainable use of available water resources encourages textile finishing enterprisesto implement efficient wastewater treatment technologies that enable water recycling, and not just it’sdischarging into the local wastewater treatment plants (wwtp). this paper presents the results obtainedfrom the h2o2/uv treatment of wastewater from slovene textile finishing company. laboratory s...

introduction: antibiotics as a  type of pharmaceutical compounds are widely used in modern medicine and veterinary industries. they enter the environment in different ways, including agricultural runoff, direct discharge of urban wastewater treatment or human waste, direct disposal of medical, veterinary industrial waste and etc. antibiotics have been able to influence the microbial population....

The presence of effluent-derived compounds with low odor thresholds can compromise the aesthetics of drinking water. The potent odorants 2,4,6-trichloroanisole and geosmin dominated the profile of odorous compounds in wastewater effluent with concentrations up to 2 orders of magnitude above their threshold values. Additional odorous compounds (e.g., vanillin, methylnaphthalenes, 2-pyrrolidone) ...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely used for the removal of recalcitrant organic constituents from industrial and municipal wastewater. The aim of this study was to review the use of titanium dioxide/UV light process, hydrogen peroxide/UV light process and Fenton’s reactions in wastewater treatment. The main reactions and the operating parameters (initial concentration of the target ...

Given that sustainable energy production and advanced wastewater treatment for producing clean water are two major challenges faced by modern society, microalgae make a desirable treatment alternative by providing a renewable biomass feedstock for biofuel production, while treating wastewater as a growth medium. Microalgae have been known to be resilient to the toxic contaminants of highly conc...

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...

Microbial fuel cells are obtaining increased attention in wastewater treatment technology because of provision of effective treatment in presence of a low organic load through continuous electrical power supply. This paper studies the voltage reutilization performance of a microbial fuel cell using recycled wastewater from its treatment process as an anodic fuel. The experimental results show t...

Scope of the present study was the comparison of two advanced water treatment technologies – ozonation and powdered activated carbon adsorption (PAC) – with respect to the elimination of emerging contaminants. Main objective was the assessment of synergistic effects arising from the combination of both technologies in one wastewater treatment plant. The study was conducted at a full-scale plant...

The present study focuses on effects of operational parameters on electrochemical wastewater treatment for synthetic wastewater. Electro-oxidation has emerged as one of the advanced oxidation processes gaining more attention because it offers many distinctive advantages over other conventional methods such as versatility, high treatment efficiency, safety, amenability of automation and cost eff...
