Treatment of mono-azo dye, tectilon yellow 2G (TY2G), by Chlorella vulgaris was investigated. COD removal efficiencies were determined as 69, 66 and 63% for the initial TY2G concentrations of 50, 200 and 400 mg/l, respectively, whereas acclimation of C vulgaris caused them to increase to 88, 87 and 88%, respectively. Absorbance spectral profiles obtained for unacclimated algae showed that the peak observed initially at 450 nm disappeared and the one at 220 nm decreased remarkably while there was a new peak formation at 350 nm, indicating the conversion of TY2G to an end product which was further confirmed as aniline by high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. In the case of acclimated algae, no aniline production was detected. The main mechanism of the removal was bioconversion in the case of unacclimated algae and degradation in the case of acclimated algae. Moreover, the higher the initial algal concentration, the higher is the COD removal efficiency achieved in a much shorter time.

Treatment of softwood bleacbery effluents by Penicillium camemberti in anaerobic jars Taseli, BK; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (2005-01-01) Penicillium camemberti was found to be very effective in treating softwood pulp bleaching effluents and chlorinated model compounds like PCP, 2-chlorophenol and trichloroacetic acid. This paper examines the ability of Penicillium camemberti to degrade softwood pulping and bleaching effluents in anaerobic jars. Softwood chlorinated pulping and bleaching effluents inoculated with Penicillium camemberti (20 ml in 25-ml universal tubes) were incubated under anaerobic conditions (oxoid anaerobic jars) at 25 degr...
Membrane based strategies for the pre-treatment of acid dye bath wastewaters Capar, Goksen; Yetiş, Ülkü; Yılmaz, Levent (2006-07-31) This paper, as part of a study carried out for the recovery of the acid dye bath wastewaters of a carpet manufactuting industry by membrane processes, describes the evaluation of alternative strategies for the pre-treatment of acid dye bath wastewaters. Dead-end microfiltration (MF) simulating sand filtration with MF media having pore sizes of 2.5. 1.0. 0.45 and 0.2 mu m and ultrafiltration (UF) with an UF membrane having a molecular weight cut off (MWCO) of 50,000 Da were tested in single and sequential st...
Treatment of pulping effluents by using alum and clay - Colour removal and sludge characteristics Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2001-01-01) The effect of clay addition during alum coagulation, on the removal of colour from pulp-and-paper industry wastewaters, was investigated. Four types of clay, namely beige-and brown-sepiolites, calcium- and sodium-bentonites of different mesh sizes were used, Different quantities of alum and clay were applied, either singly or in combination, to the effluents of the wood-based pulp-and-paper mill. Colour of the treated wastewater, the sludge volume index (SVI) and sludge cake resistance (SCR) of the sludge p...
Characterization of proteome alterations in Phanerochaete chrysosporium in response to lead exposure Yildirim, Volkan; ÖZCAN, Servet; Becher, Doerte; Buettner, Knut; Hecker, Michael; Özcengiz, Gülay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-03-09) Background: Total soluble proteome alterations of white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium in response to different doses (25, 50 and 100 mu M) of Pb (II) were characterized by 2DE in combination with MALDI-TOF-MS.
Removal of endocrine disrupter compounds and trace organics in membrane bioreactors Komesli, Okan Tarik; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2012) Endocrine disrupters and trace organic contaminants are recently recognized contaminants in wastewaters. Current concept is the multibarier approach where the contaminants are removed from the water cycle both by water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as natural die-away. In this thesis work LC/MS/MS determination of selected EDC compounds, namely, diltiazem, progesterone, estrone, carbamazepine, benzyl butyl phthalate and acetaminophen, at ultra trace levels, have been carried out by optimizing...
