Abstract

In this study, electro-coagulation-flotation process was investigated in the new baffled reactor to use the advantage of simultaneous flotation in an individual compartment to eliminate the need of separate chamber for flotation. The middle baffle led to the production of larger and denser flocs and consequently, settling velocity, sludge volume index, and floc density increased by 63%, 13%, and 14%, respectively. Effective parameters of electro-coagulation-flotation process in the proposed reactor were optimized due to treatment of Direct Blue 71. In the optimal condition ([dye]=200 mg/L, electrical conductivity=6.7 mS/cm, current density=3.54 mA/cm 2, and pH=8 in 60 min), the removal efficiency of dye, naphthalene ring, COD, and TOC, aver

Abstract

The present study aimed to compare aerobic biodegradation of MTBE and its intermediate products through a microbial consortium obtained from sludge of municipal wastewater treatment by co-metabolism and direct metabolism via Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) method in laboratory scale. For this purpose, the maximum MTBE concentrations, acclimatization speed and duration, shock loading resistance, degradation of intermediate products, bacterial growth, and sludge quality were compared for both metabolisms. MTBE and COD removal efficiencies were 98% and 81%, respectively for co-metabolism and 84% and 93%, respectively for direct metabolism at the highest acceptable MTBE concentration equal to 180 mg/L. This indicates acceptable performance of bo

Abstract

Municipal solid waste contains mainly organic wastes that can be a good source for anaerobic digestion. Solid-state anaerobic digestion is an affordable and suitable technique to mitigate the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). However, as the organic loading of OFMSW is high, co-digestion with other materials can improve the system's performance. This study aimed to investigate the performance of the co-digestion of OFMSW and sawdust and study the parameters affecting its performance. Based on the experiments, the optimum sawdust/OFMSW ratio was achieved 1:2 with the methane production of 0.3?L/g VS. In addition, the inoculum-to-substrate ration (I/S) was investigated at 1:4, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1 ratios. The best resul

Abstract

Removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from contaminated soil using electrokinetic method or biological processes has been considered in recent century. The most limiting factors in the electrokinetic process are extreme changes in pH around the electrodes and non-polarity of some pollutants. On the other hand, the key factor of biological treatment is simultaneous presence of microorganisms, pollutants (carbon source of microorganisms), electron acceptors, and essential nutrients for microorganisms’ growth. But in fine-grained soils with low permeability, it is difficult to uniformly distribute bacteria, electron acceptors and nutrients, or making pollutants available for microorganisms. To solve these problems, bioelectrokinetic method is us

Abstract

AbstractCrude oil and its derivatives are among the most important sources of energy in the world. Petroleum-based pollutants enter the environment through a variety of factors, such as non-standard wastewater disposal and related industry waste, the breakdown of transmission lines, leakage from storage tanks and crash of tankers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different factors on the ozone treatment of the diesel-contaminated soil. In this laboratory-scale study, the effect of ozone mass flow rate, process time, pH, soil water content, and initial pollution concentration on the removal of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) from soil were evaluated. The results indicate that moisture content and pH are two factor

Abstract

In this study, a baffled photocatalytic reactor was used for the treatment of colored wastewater containing the azo dye of Acid Orange 52 (AO52). A study on the active species of the photocatalytic process using TiO2 nanoparticles indicated that hydroxyl radical and superoxide have the greatest contribution to the dye degradation process respectively. Given that a level of biological oxygen demand/chemical oxygen demand (BOD5/COD) equal to 0.4 was achieved after about 5 hr from the beginning of the experiment, the reactor seems to be capable of purifying the wastewater containing AO52 dye after this time in order to discharge into a biological treatment system to continue the treatment process. The results of the liquid chromatography-mas

Abstract

There are different methods for soil stabilization, such as using windbreak, planting and use of mulch. The use of new soil stabilization methods, due to reduced environmental impacts, is a suitable alternative for oil mulch. Soil stabilization by using Nano polymer Polylatice creates a uniformly coherent cortex that is resistant to high wind speed and has less environmental degradation effects. In this research, the soil of the Hossein Abad area, near the salt lake of Qom, has been used for wind erosion test to verify the stabilization with the use of nano polymer Polylatice. After passing through a 2 mm sieve, the soils were stabilized with concentrations of 1, 1.5 and 2 L/m2 of Polylatice in trays with dimensions of 80*80*3 cm. These spe

Abstract

Activated sludge process is commonly utilized for the treatment of wastewater with the benefits of high efficiency and easy operation. However, during the biological treatment of wastewater, huge amounts of waste biomass (called as “waste activated sludge (WAS)”) are inevitably generated in the process. The WAS should be treated in order to reduce the water content of raw WAS, transform the highly putrescible organic matter into stable or inert organic and inorganic residue, and finally condition the residue to meet disposal acceptance regulations. But, WAS treatment and disposal, representing 50–60% of the total operating costs of the wastewater treatment. WAS is produced in massive volumes; specifically, more than 25, 000 tons of WA
