It is assumed that microbial communities involved in the biological treatment of different wastewaters having a different chemical composition harbor different microbial populations which are specifically adapted to the environmental stresses encountered in these systems. Yet, little is known about the composition of these microbial communities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess th...

BACKGROUND, AIM AND SCOPE Electrocoagulation (EC) may be a potential answer to environmental problems dealing with water reuse and rational waste management. The aim of this research was to assess the feasibility of EC-process for industrial contaminated effluents from copper production, taking into consideration technical and economical factors. EC-technology claims to offer efficient removal ...

Heavy metals released into the surface and ground water has been a major preoccupation for many years because of their increased discharge, acute toxicity, non-biodegradable nature and tendency for bioaccumulation [1-3]. Iron a common contaminant enters the water bodies through effluents of industries such as electroplating, mining, steel processing etc. The presence of Fe (II) in water results...

Wastewater is a byproduct of industrial or household waste processes, and its contamination level must be determined before treatment. Discharges liquid effluents generated by mining operations, one the most prevalent forms water, pose risk to human health environment. This study evaluates physicochemical quality effluent discharges from Boukhadra mine (Algeria). Samples were collected washing ...

The mining industry generates huge amounts of wastewater, containing toxic heavy metals. Treatment to remove heavy metals is necessary and recent work has been focused on finding more environmentally friendly materials for removing heavy metals from wastewater. Biosorption can be an effective process for heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions. Our objectives were to investigate the removal ...

As the largest coal exporting country in world, Indonesia needs efforts to prevent various negative things for mining activities maintain balance of surrounding nature. One many affected by is water. The wastewater quality must be checked regularly before it flows into water bodies. This research aims describe company's program created Safety Health & Environment (SHE) department and Center...

This study aimed to determine levels of cyanide (CN) pollution in the soil and surface water at selected mining sites Mbeya region. A total (n = 124) samples were collected analyzed by spectrophotometry. The soil-based water-based Mwasenga, Ifumbo above permissible limits. was due poor disposal tailing from gold processing plants mismanagement wastewater. On other hand, Cyanide within allowable...
