A new nanophotocatalysts series of M2Zr2O7 (M = Mn, Cu, and Fe) doped Fe2Zr2O7 systems were prepared via sol-gel using the pechini method, characterized, tested in photocatalytic degradation olive mill wastewater (OMW). The materials was evaluated by measuring total phenolic compounds (TPCs) Folin-Ciocalteu method for variable pH under a commercial LED lamp (45 W). removal TPCs measured at diff...

Fibreboard production is one of the most important industrial activities in Galicia (Spain). Great amounts of wastewater are generated, with properties depending on the type of wood, treatment process, final product and water reusing, among others. These effluents are characterized by a high chemical oxygen demand, low pH and nutrients limitation. Although anaerobic digestion is one of the most...

Manufacture of red blood cells (RBCs) from progenitors has been proposed as a method to reduce reliance on donors. Such a process would need to be extremely efficient for economic viability given a relatively low value product and high (2 × 1012 ) cell dose. Therefore, the aim of these studies was to define the productivity of an industry standard stirred-tank bioreactor and determine engineeri...

A study of the second step or methanogenic stage of a two-stage anaerobic digestion process treating two-phase olive oil mill solid residue (OMSR) was conducted at mesophilic temperature (35 degrees C). The substrate fed to the methanogenic step was the effluent from a hydrolytic-acidogenic reactor operating at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 12.9 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) L(-1) d(-1) and...

Information about waste water from the manufacture offibreboard is given, and in this connection a classification of suspended and dissolved impurities occurring in the waste water of fibreboard mills is made. The influence on the concentration and the total amount of such impurities are discussed as a function of the extent of closing of the process wa ter system. Various methods of treatment ...
