Vinasse is a colored recalcitrant wastewater of the distillery industry. The aim of this work was to study the use of Phanerochaete chrysosporium for the vinasse degradation under two different growth conditions. Vinasse was treated by P. chrysosporium in a liquid inoculum form, during 32 days at room temperature (approximately 25 degrees C) and at 39 degres C. Chemical oxygen demand (COD), tot...

The application of synthetic colors in textile industries and their entry into the water and groundwater is an environmental problem because of being very toxic material. The synthetic colors which are used in textile dyeing (plyacrilic and polyester) are usually dispersing colorants. They derive the azo and anthraquinone chemicals. Electro-Fenton process is an efficient technique which can deg...

In this study, the Fenton process was used to investigate the color removal efficiency of Acid Red 52 and Basic Red 18 dye solutions by direct chemical oxidation. Color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) was successfully removed more than 99% and up to 92% respectively. This article would provide an easy assessment of the viability of using Fenton reagent in acidic conditions, so it is a prom...

conclusions the uv/zno system has been found an effective process with 90.2% cod removal and 95.6% dye removal after 50 minutes treatment. materials and methods in this work, zno catalyst and mercury lamp (uv-c, 254 nm) have been applied for removal of the c.i. sulphur red 14 dye from aqueous environments. the influence of various parameters such as the amount of zno, initial dye concentration,...

The photocatalytic degradation of Procion blue H-B dye in biodegraded textile washwater has been investigated for the complete removal of color and maximum reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD). Pseudomonas putida was utilized for obtaining biodegraded textile washwater. In this process, silver-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared and experiments were carried out to study the effects of UV...

It is based on the experiments conducted for study of chromium removal and recovery from chrome tanning waste water of leather industry for chromium removal about 98.5% was achieved at pH 8.0 and at this pH reduction of COD is 61.5 % and percentage for removal of color from the wastewater of leather industry is 99.5% under applying the batch experimental condition. For this purpose, it is carri...

This study aims at coupling coal cinder filter with biological process to improve pharmaceutical wastewater quality and reduce the disposal cost. In the coal cinder filter, the removal efficiencies of COD, BOD(5), SS and color were 90+/-2%, 72+/-2%, 95+/-2% and 80+/-2%, respectively. The results attribute to the big specific surface area and strong adsorption ability. Coal cinder filter removes...

This work investigated the anaerobic degradation of the model azo dye Remazol Yellow Gold RNL in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB) and two submerged anaerobic membrane (SAMBR) bioreactors, one of which (SAMBR-1) was operated with powdered activated carbon (PAC) in its interior. The reactors were operated at 35 °C with a hydraulic retention time of 24 h in three operational phase...
