aims: sludge is an inescapable component of all wastewaters that originated from their treatment. dissolved air flotation (daf) process as an alternative clarifier is used in treatment of drinking water, pretreatment of wastewater, and as a phase separator in sludge activation processes. this study aimed to calibrated the usage of daf process in a laboratory scale and under various conditions, ...

Introduction: The presence of antibiotics due to toxicity and sustainability as well as organic compounds as a combination of hard biodegradable wastewater is an undesirable issue in many industries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of dissolved air flotation process for aniline and penicillin G removal from aqueous solutions. Methods: This was an empirical-lab study to w...

aims: intensification of current environmental legislation leads to an increase wastewater treatment sludge volume. so reducing the sludge volume is considered as a strategy to improve and solve the problems of secondary pollution of sludge. dissolved air flotation (daf) as a substitute clarifier is used for separation of activated sludge liquid-solid phases. the aim of this study was to estima...

Solid/liquid separations are commonly the first step in any wastewater treatment. Such technologies are mature and new developments are rare. However, in the last decade some significant improvements in separation techniques for industrial wastewater pretreatment have been implemented. Advances in the technology include more efficient, faster centrifugal mixing of treatment chemicals and wastew...

in this present study the dissolved air flotation (daf) system was investigated for the treatment of kermanshah oil refinery wastewater. the effect of three parameters on flotation efficiency including of flow rate (outflow from the flotation tank), saturation pressure and coagulant dosage on chemical oxygen demand (cod) removal was examined experimentally. all the experiments were done under a...

Industrial wastewater contains a lot of pollutants and therefore needs special treatment processes. The treatment process may contain mechanical, biological, chemical, physical and physiochemical such as Coagulation – Flocculation process. The goal of this experimental work was to investigate the effects of coagulationflocculation and dissolved air flotation as a hybrid process of industrial wa...

the purposes of this research have been to determine the wastewater quality of a typical railroad repair workshop and to find a way to reduce the concentrations of present contaminants especially oil and grease. the mean concentrations of oil, cod and ss in the wastewater studied were 287.69, 775.85 and 28723, respectively with average daily discharge to be 30-35 m3. three successive treatment ...

Dissolved Air (Pressure) Flotation-DAF, is a well-established separation process that employs micro-bubbles as a carrier phase. This work shows results concerning bubble generation at low working pressures in modified DAF-units to improve the collection of fragile coagula by bubbles. DAF of Fe (OH)3 (as model) was studied as a function of saturation pressure in the absence and presence of surfa...
