background: one of the most important environmental pollutants is industrial wastewaters. discharging of colorful industrial effluents to receptive waters can lead to eutrification and it has the carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. therefore, the aim of this study is evaluation of acid blue 15 dye removal by dried azolla from aqueous solution. material and methods: the azolla biomass was dri...

The present study shows that ozonation of effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is likely to be a future treatment solution to remove estrogens and xeno-estrogens. The required ozone dose and electrical energy for producing the ozone were determined in two WWTP effluents for removal of 17 estrogenic chemicals. The estrogenic compounds included parabens, industrial phenols...

Textile effluents are among the most difficult-to-treat wastewaters, due to their considerable amount of recalcitrant and toxic substances. Fungal biosorption is viewed as a valuable additional treatment for removing pollutants from textile wastewaters. In this study the efficiency of Cunninghamella elegans biomass in terms of contaminants, COD and toxicity reduction was tested against textile ...

Before the industrial wastes, this river was unpolluted. Our globe is more than half water, and as a result of various factors, including people's activity, among most prominent which wastes chemicals, it becoming contaminated every day. Water exists in all three states matter—liquid, solid, gas., an essential component. But fundamental problem that many anthropogenic natural activities carried...

The industrial discharge carries significant level of contaminants to the surface water and ground water. Whereas quality freshwater is very vital because highly use by human for drinking, bathing, agriculture other needs. presence from industries within may reduce yield crops growth plants; it also harmful aquatic living organisms, alters quality. Industrial pollution one major factors causing...

synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of basic blue 41 (bb41) and methylene blue (mb) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. in this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with citric acid (ca) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for remo...

Some of the industries that discharge highly colored effluents are paper and pulp mills, textiles and dye-making industries, alcohol distilleries, and leather industries. Terrestrial white-rot basidiomycetous fungi and their lignin-degrading enzymes laccase, manganese-peroxidase and lignin peroxidases are useful in the treatment of colored industrial effluents and other xenobiotics. Free myceli...

geosmin and mib are the common factors causing odor in the water. water treatment plants usually employ the conventional processes such as aeration, coagulation, flocculation, chlorination or ozonation and adsorption as preventive measures to reduce water odor. but each of these processes alone cannot completely remove the smell. the smell of fish, grass and mud greatly depends on the excessive...
