Nowadays, organic pollutants occurring in surface waters have raised substantial concern in public. Triclosan (TCS) is one of the antimicrobial agents which are utilized in both domestic and industrial application. In this study nanofiltration (NF) of TCS in surface water was investigated. Laboratory scale cross-flow device is operated in total recycle mode and DK-NF and DL-NF membranes were used. Kesikköprü Reservoir (Ankara) water was used as raw water. Effect of natural organic matter (NOM) content of raw water on TCS removal is searched through addition of humic acid (HA) into the raw water as to represent for NOM. Steady state permeate fluxes are monitored throughout the experiments to explore the flux behavior of the membranes. During the experiments, performance of the membranes is assessed by monitoring TCS, as well as other water quality parameters, such as UVA254 and total organic carbon (TOC) in the feed and permeates waters. Results obtained put forward that TCS removal by NF membrane is not as same as reported in the literature. In the literature, membrane removal efficiency is reported as above 90%. However, this study proved that this would be true if and only if one does not considers the adsorption of TCS by the system itself, in the absence of membrane. It is now clear that, because of adsorption of the TCS onto the experimental set up (feed tank, pipings etc.); the real TCS removal efficiency of the nanofiltration is around 60-70%.

Catalytic ozonation of synthetic wastewaters containing three different dyes in a fluidized bed reactor Balcı, Ayşe İrem; Özbelge, Ayşe Tülay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011) Environmental regulations have imposed limitations on a wide variety of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial textile wastewaters. There are several degradation methods used in literature studies. Among these methods ozonation is one of the most considered way to degrade refractory chemicals in textile wastewaters. In recent years, catalytic ozonation as being one of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), is applied to reduce the ozone consumption and to increase the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) ...
Triclosan removal by NF from a real drinking water source - Effect of natural organic matter OGUTVERİCİ, Abdullah; Yılmaz, Levent; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2016-01-01) Nanofiltration (NF) is known as a very effective technology in the removal of micropollutants from surface water for drinking water purposes. In this study, NF of triclosan (TCS) which is a commonly used biocide in many different domestic and industrial applications was investigated in relation to its interaction with natural organic matter (NOM). A laboratory scale cross-flow device was operated in total recycle mode using a thin-film composite membrane with a real surface water. The effect of NOM content ...
Bioattenuation of Detergent Plant Effluents Enhanced via Single Microbial Augmentations İçgen, Bülent; Goksu, Lale; Ulusoy, Huseyin; Yılmaz, Fadime (Wiley, 2016-05-01) Due to natural attenuation, anionic detergents in surface waters are not inferred as big environmental issues. However, the effluents from large industrial areas with high detergent concentrations can have significant local impacts. These circumstances can be diminished by using efficient detergent-degrading bacterial isolates through bioaugmentation. In this study, detergent plant effluents were analysed by using a methylene blue active substance assay to determine detergent content during natural attenuat...
Biogas production from broiler manure, wastewater treatment plant sludge, and greenhouse waste by anaerobic co-digestion Sarikaya, E.; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2013-07-01) Inappropriate management of organic wastes can cause serious damage to the environment by polluting water and air, which can lower the quality of life. Ammonia and greenhouse gases (CH4 and CO2) emitted from the waste storage units can pollute the air. Inappropriate application of nitrogen and phosphorus on fields as manure can lead to eutrophication of surface water resources and pollution of soil and ground water. Conversion of the organic wastes to biogas through anaerobic digestion will, however, reduce...
Anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge and primary clarifier skimmings for increased biogas production Alanya, S.; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad; Park, C.; Willis, J. L.; Keaney, J.; Kohl, P. M.; Hunt, J. A.; Duran, M. (IWA Publishing, 2013-01-01) The objective of the study was to identify the impact of co-digesting clarifier skimmings on the overall methane generation from the treatment plant and additional energy value of the increased methane production. Biogas production from co-digesting clarifier skimmings and sewage sludge in pilot-scale fed-batch mesophilic anaerobic digesters has been evaluated. The digester was fed with increasing quantities of clarifier skimmings loads: 1.5, 2.6, 3.5 and 7.0 g COD equivalent/(L.d) (COD: chemical oxygen dem...
