In Ethiopia, the most common method of disposal of waste water is by land spreading. This treatment method has numerous problems, namely high labor requirements and the potential for eutrophication of surface and ground waters. Constructed wetlands are commonly used for treatment of secondary municipal wastewaters and they have been gaining popularity for treatment of agricultural wastewaters i...

Background and purpose:Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor is an aerobic attached growth with better biofilm thickness control, lack of plugging and lower head loss. Consequently, this system is greatly used by different wastewater treatment plants. High TDS wastewater produced petrochemical, leather tanning, sea food processing, cannery, pickling and dairy industries. The aim of this study was to evalu...

Bioetanol merupakan bahan bakar terbarukan yang berasal dari etanol dan bisa didapatkan berlignoselulosa seperti limbah kertas. Etanol mengandung konsentrasi dibawah 12% tidak ekonomis untuk di distilasi pada saat dijadikan bioetanol, menghasilkan memiliki tinggi maka glukosa hasilkan percobaan ini juga harus tinggi. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengamati pengaruh waktu dengan berbagai variasi peng...

Fenton oxidation technology is the general strategy for the treatment of organic compounds-contained wastewater. However, a considerable amount of ferric sludge was produced during the Fenton process as secondary wastes, which were needed to be further removed from the effluent and treated. In this study, heterogeneous catalysts based on ferrite oxide (Cu-Fe-Ce-O) were synthesized and character...

As a result of uncontrolled discharge of wastewaters containing high levels of phosphorus to the receiving bodies could create adverse effects on water quality. Therefore phosphorus should be eliminated prior to discharging into aquatic environment together with carbon and nitrogen to reduce eutrophication risk. Control of effluent phosphorus level by enhanced biological methods became a standa...

chemical wastewater treatment is one of the attracting and common methods for wastewater treatment among the currently employed chemical unit processes. the use of coagulant-flocculant compound is one of the efficient methods for separating of paint and recovery of water. in this research, it was introduced and the effect of ph on removal of solid content from solution was studied experimentall...

Environmental regulations for dairy farms and milk-plants tend to be tightened in Asian countries, particularly in Japan, because the milk-including wastewater discharged from them causes serious regional environmental problems. For small and medium-sized dairy farms and milk plants, we propose a novel process of using ozone which has very strong oxidative power. This proposed process is differ...

In this paper we develop a model to estimate nitrogen loading to watersheds and receiving waters, and then apply the model to gain insight about sources, losses, and transport of nitrogen in groundwater moving through a coastal watershed. The model is developed from data of the Waquoit Bay Land Margin Ecosystems Research project (WBLMER), and from syntheses of published information. The WBLMER ...

Many industries generate phenolic wastewater of acidic nature. Neutralization with sodium hydroxide generates the phenolic wastewater with high TDS. Both phenol and ionic concentration of TDS are inhibitor to biological treatment processes. A study was carried out for biological treatment of phenolic wastewater with high total dissolved solid (TDS) concentration in moving bed biofilm reactor (M...
