the removal performance of total poly phenols and orthodiphenols (o-diphenols) content in olive mill waste (omw) was investigated with a three stages cross flow laboratory scale rotating biological contactor (rbc) in the present study. due to high cod and other pollutant in the original omw, physico-chemical treatment was effected for cod and other pollutant reduction prior to biological treatm...

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is an important source of inland water pollution when released into local rivers or lakes without treatment. In the process of palm oil milling, POME is generat‐ ed through sterilization of fresh oil palm fruit bunches, clarification of palm oil and effluent from hydro-cyclone operations [Borja et al.,1996a]. POME is a viscous brown liquid with fine suspended solid...

We studied the influence of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and saprobe fungi on the phytotoxicity of the physical fractions of dry olive mill residue (DOR). The physical extractions of DOR gave an aqueous (ADOR) and an exhausted (SDOR) fraction with less phytotoxicity for tomato than the original samples. The indigenous AM were able to decrease the phytotoxicity of SDOR inoculated with ...

The olive mill waste waters (OMWW) generated from oil extraction is a major environmental concern since they are characterized by their role as pollutant (high organic and mineral matters) pH acid. aim of this study was to valorize anaerobic fermentation in the presence cow manure order produce biogas reduce toxic load. Many tests were carried out fermenting with polyphenols thermophile tempera...

Olive oil extraction produces large amounts of residues. These olive-mill wastes are known as alpechin. Alpechin-polluted waste waters are resistant to degradation. They are regarded as a severe environmental problem because of their high organic content, largely simple phenolic compounds that are both antimicrobial and phytotoxic. During the past years, most of the investigations related to al...
