Organic compounds present in the bleached kraft pulp mill (BKPM) effluents may be reduced by biological treatment like: activated sludge (AS) or aerated lagoon (AL). However, after biological treatment, BKPM effluent still contains specific compounds. Some of them have been related with chronic effects (DNA damage, reproductive and physiological) observed on fishes exposed to BKPM effluents. Th...

This study was performed to investigate the electrochemical oxidation of a solution containing methylene blue dye by using a tin oxide (SnO2) electrode. The effect of several operating factors such as electrolyte types, current density, initial dye concentration, and pH were investigated by following the discolorationand COD removal. The results show th...

In this study, the removal of color, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and aromatic group from one of the azo dyes, Remazol Yellow RR Gran, had been carried out by using one of the white rot fungi, Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Experimental studies were performed in growth media containing different amounts of dye and glucose. Color measurements were done at 436nm wavelength using spectrophotometer w...

In this study, various chemical and advanced oxidation processes were tested for enhancement of anaerobic biodegradation of olive mill effluent (OME). The experiments were carried out in a 20 L lab-scale ACF reactor packed with cross-flow filter material made of water-resistant cardboard with a specific surface area of ~300 m m. The ACF reactor was operated at chosen OLR conditions and fed with...

The aim of this study was to characterize landfill leachate of Çorlu that was heavily industrialized, and to examine the application of coagulation-flocculation and adsorption for the treatment of this leachate. This deposited area is non-regulated and municipal and industrial wastes are deposited uncontrollably. The experiments were conducted to investigate the combined process of coagulation-...

Constructed wetlands are viable alternatives for the removal of multiple pollutants. The performance Sagittaria latifolia in free flowing and subsurface removing pollutants from domestic waters was evaluated. 12 will be followed, three with species without species, retention times 6.7 days 3.5 subsurface. presented an effluent turbidity 4.4±0.8 NTU, color 143.9±27.4 UC 33.9±25.7 mgL-1 COD. samp...

The present study was conducted in order to investigate the efficiency of different advanced oxidation processes both individually and combination with biological method for removal color chemical oxygen demand (COD) from wastewater pulp paper industry. Advanced include ozone, Fenton, hydrogen peroxide, photo-Fenton. Biologically treated successively subjected (AOPs). optimum conditions ozone t...

The present work aimed to investigate the microbial dynamics during the anaerobic treatment of the azo dye blue HRFL in bench scale upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor operated at ambient temperature. Sludge samples were collected under distinct operational phases, when the reactor were stable (low variation of color removal), to assess the effect of glucose and yeast extract as source o...

The landfill leachate has high concentration of COD, ammonia and other recalcitrant composition compounds. The amount of eachwhich is mainly largely dependent on the age of the landfill. The conventional leachate treatments can be classified as chemical-physical treatments and biological treatments. Using fungi to treat leachate is an emerging research topic. Fungi, with their excellent recalci...
