Combined cultures were developed from anaerobic granular and suspended aerobic cultures in three upflow sludge blanket reactors aerated at 10 mL air/min 4 h/day R2, every other day R3, and 24 h/day R4. The use of combined cultures was found to be advantageous compared to the anaerobic granules for the treatment of low-strength wastewaters. During municipal wastewater treatment at influent 5-day biochemical oxygen demand BOD5 concentration of 53– 118 mg/L hydraulic retention time: 0.75 day, combined cultures in R2, R3, and R4 exhibited average BOD5 removal efficiencies of 52, 75, and 76%, respectively. The use of these cultures might be proposed as an alternative for municipal wastewater treatment due to their advantages such as achievement of required discharge standards, prevention of biomass loss/settleability problems unlike activated sludge systems and possible methanogenic activity, as well as high settling characteristics comparable to those of anaerobic granules.

High-rate sulphidogenic fluidised-bed treatment of metal-containing wastewater at high temperature Sahinkaya, E.; Ozkaya, B.; Kaksonen, A. H.; Puhakka, J. A. (IWA Publishing, 2007-01-01) The applicability of fluidised-bed reactor (FBR) based sulphate reducing bioprocess was investigated for the treatment of iron containing (40-90 mg/L) acidic wastewater at 65 degrees C. The FBR was inoculated with sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) originally enriched from a hot mining environment. Ethanol or acetate was supplemented as carbon and electron source for the SRB. A rapid startup with 99.9, 46 and 29% ethanol, sulphate and acetate removals, in respective order, was observed even after 6 days. Iron...
Anaerobic Digestability and Biogas Production Capacity of Pistachio Processing Wastewater in UASB Reactors Gur, E.; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2019-08-01) High volumes of wastewater with considerable levels of organic and phenolic compounds and solid material are produced during pistachio processing. There is not a commonly adopted treatment technology for the wastes produced during pistachio processing. The objective of this study is to evaluate the anaerobic digestability and biogas production capacity of pistachio processing wastewater in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors for the first time in the literature. The results indicated that pistac...
2 toxicants, mercury and tin in the Gulf of Iskenderun Salihoğlu, Barış; Yemeni̇ci̇og̈lu, Semal (Elsevier BV, 1987) The concentrations of total mercury and tin in the sediment samples collected from İskenderun bay were determined by utilizing atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Mercury concentration of the samples was determined by cold vapor, and tin concentration by hydride generation techniques. The highest mercury concentrations were measured infront of İSDEMİR (Iron and stell complex) with a value of 550 μg/g (dry weight). The mercury concentrations were found to decrease with distance from the shore. Sediment samp...
Time Weighted Average Concentration Monitoring Based on Thin Film Solid Phase Microextraction Ahmadi, Fardin; Sparham, Chris; Boyacı, Ezel; Pawliszyn, Janusz (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-04-04) Time weighted average (TWA) passive sampling with thin film solid: phase micro extraction (TF-SPME) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for collection, identification, and quantification of benzophenone-1, benzophenone-2, benzophenone-3, benzophenone-4, 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid, octocrylene, octylmethoxycinnamate, butylmethoxydibenzgylmethane, triclocarban and triclosan in the aquatic environment. Two types of TF-SPME passive samplers, including a retracted th...
Partial Nitrification Achieved by Pulse Sulfide Doses in a Sequential Batch Reactor Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; VLAEMİNCK, Siegfried; Verstraete, Willy (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2008-12-01) A nitrifying sequential batch reactor operated under 2-day cyclic aerobic and anoxic conditions was pulse dosed with incremental sulfide concentrations during anoxic conditions. The nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were found to be more sensitive to sulfide than the ammonia oxidizers. A maximum of nitrite-N to (nitrite-N + nitrate-N) accumulation ratio of 0.75 was obtained at an initial pulse sulfide-S concentration of 45 mg/L under pH control at 7.5 +/- 0.2 and fully mixing conditions. Total ammonium nitrogen wa...
