background wastewaters with high salt content disturb the metabolic function of microorganisms causing plasmolysis or activity loss in microorganisms, so the efficiency of biological treatment of saline wastewater by conventional microorganisms will decrease. objectives this study aimed to find the outbreak of disorder in the biological wastewater treatment process and how much salt leads to lo...

background: hospitals generate relatively large quantities of wastewater that may contain various potentially hazardous ma­terials; therefore the proper management of hospital wastewater is essential. methods:   in this cross-sectional study, the quality and quantity of wastewater in the hospitals of tehran university of medi­cal sciences (tums), tehran, iran, were studied and the suitable meth...

to study the feasibility of anaerobic filter in raw sewage and slaughter house wastewater treatment, slaughter house wastewater treatment, a batch flow pilot plant was designed. in phase one, with a detention time of 3-days and no mixing, the maximum reduction in cod was 23%. in the second phase, with a detention time of 2-days and complete mixing, glucose was added to the raw sewage, the reduc...

textile wastewater contains substantial pollution loads in terms of chemical oxygen demand (cod), biological oxygen demand (bod), total suspended solids (tss), total dissolved solids (tds) and heavy metals. phytoremediation used for removing heavy metals and other pollutants by aquatic macrophytes treatment systems (amats) is well established environmental protective technique. a lab scale stud...

decolorization of aqueous solutions containing ionic dyes (reactive blue 19 and acid black 172) by a tfc commercial polyamide nanofilter (nf) in a spiral wound configuration was studied. the effect of operating parameters including feed concentration (60-180 mg/l), pressure (0.5-1.1 mpa) and ph (6-10) on dye removal efficiency was evaluated. the response surface method (rsm) was utilized for th...

the present work studied the application of membrane bioreactor (mbr) for tapioca wastewater processing that contained chemical oxygen demand (cod) ranging from 4000-9000 mg/l. a preliminary study was initially conducted in order to evaluate membrane performance with respect to its flux with mlss concentration ranging from 4,500 to 10,500 mg/l. it was clear that fouling was observed during the ...

background: conventional wastewater treatment is a combination of physical and biological processes designed to remove organic matter from solution. waste sludge drawn from these processes is thickened and processed for ultimate disposal wastewater contains various kinds of infectious agents, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. correct treatment in wastewater treatment plants is imp...

results the results showed that the fog amount in input raw sewage in the mwwtp from june 2011 to september 2011 was around 25.5 mg/l and the amount in treated wastewater was about 8.1 mg/l. the fog removal efficiency in this refinery was about 70% and met the environmental standards for the discharge (less than 10 mg/l) (p < 0.05). conclusions the effluent can be discharged to surface waters o...

evaluation and modeling of the wastewater treatment plants (wwtp) have to be based on thefact that the pollutant concentrations and flow rates change constantly. in addition, different approaches mustused due to there are different processes in a wwtp. a mexican petrochemical complex has a wwtp thatprocesses wastewaters from several petrochemical plants, where the flow rates and pollutant conce...

phosphorus is an important nutrient for plant and microorganisms growth, thus has an important role in creating eutrophication of surface waters. the present study has investigated poly aluminum chloride efficiency on orthophosphate removal by coagulation and chemical precipitation process in municipal wastewater in west wastewater treatment plant. this bench scale study was performed on influe...
