This paper addresses the issue of polishing electroplating wastewater in subsurface vertical flow constructed wetland. Electroplating wastewater treatment or polishing in constructed wetlands (CWs) was studied to a very limited degree. Four types of microcosm upflow constructed wetlands were selected for the experiment based on type of bed media and the presence or absence of vegetation (Phragm...

Water is prime requirement for surviving of any living beings.  The existence of surface water and groundwater sources are used for domestic, agriculture and industrial purposes in all over the world. Fresh water from both the water sources is highly contaminated in recent years because of rapid population growth, modern agriculture and industrial growth. Among them, contamination of water sour...

the poly(ethyleneimine)-functionalized silica has been developed successfully as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption removal of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater. the influences of ph, contact time and initial concentration of cu(ii) ions on the adsorption capacity and the effect of adsorbent dosage on the removal efficiency of cu(ii) ions from electroplating wastewater were inve...

The extensive use of Cr(VI) in many industries and the disposal of Cr(VI)-containing wastes have resulted in Cr(VI)-induced environmental contamination. Cr(VI) compounds are associated with increased cancer risks; hence, the detection of toxic Cr(VI) compounds is crucial. Various methods have been developed for Cr(VI) measurement, but they are often conducted offsite and cannot provide real-tim...

The performance of electrocoagulation using iron electrodes for the removal of hexavalent chromium from synthetic aqueous solutions and actual industrial electroplating wastewater was studied. Parameters affecting the electrocoagulation process, such as initial pH, applied current density, initial metal ion concentration, COD and time of electroprocessing were investigated. The optimum pH was f...

background: removing heavy metals from industrial wastewaters by iron nanoparticles has been much noticed in the recent years. chromium is considered as one of the emphasis environmental pollutants. there are high concentrations of chromium in the wastewater of electroplating industries. magnetic iron nanoparticles are used to control and eliminate the heavy metals from industrial effluents thr...

Process and manufacturing plants usually consume huge amounts of water in various cleaning and rinsing operations. Wastewater contains pollutants that are frequently environmentally regulated. An e€ective way to minimize wastewater is to design a wastewater reuse network (WWRN) such that the used water can be reused to a maximum extent in the same plant. In this paper, a mathematical approach i...

electroplating industry wastewater (eiw) characterized by high chemical oxygen demand (cod) is a big source of water and air contamination with heavy metals. the formation of cyanide complex with heavy metals is responsible for its elevated cod. the concentration of heavy metals in eiw can be removed by the use of different precipitating agents (sulfide and hydroxide). but the major bottleneck ...

This paper describes the preparation of new adsorbents derived from sugarcane bagasse and wood sawdust Manilkara sp. to remove zinc II ions from electroplating wastewater. The first part deals with the chemical modification of sugarcane bagasse and wood sawdust, using succinic anhydride to introduce carboxylic acid functions into the material. The obtained materials modified sugarcane bagasse M...
