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 produced were monitored. It was observed that the clays tested were not efficient in colour removal when they were applied on their own. When clay was added along with alum, a certain increase in colour removal efficiency was obtained as compared to alum alone. When alum was used in conjunction with clay, settling characteristics of the sludge produced improved substantially, in terms of both SVI and SCR. Acid activation of the clays did not improve the colour removal efficiency further. However, acid activation of sodium bentonite caused the SVI and SCR values to improve considerably compared to virgin sodium bentonite. Use of different, mesh sizes of clays did not exert any significant effect on the colour removal. However, it did exert significant effects on SVI and SCR values as such that the increase in mesh size caused the SVI values to decrease and the SCR values to increase.

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...
Treatment of chlorinated organics in bleached Kraft mill effluents by activated sludge process Ataberk, S; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (1997-01-01) Combined effluents from a bleached Kraft pulp mill using annual plants were treated in a lab-scale activated sludge (AS) system. The effects of operating solids retention time (SRT) and concentration of additional carbon source on AOX removal were investigated. Higher AOX removals (30%) were observed with long SRTs, 99% of which was pure metabolization. As SRT was decreased AOX removal efficiency also decreased (4%) and principal AOX removal mechanism changed to adsorption onto wasted biomass. The AOX remov...
Treatment of Tectilon Yellow 2G by Chlorella vulgaris EBRU, acuner; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2004-01-01) 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 ...
The effect of tin dioxide (SnO2) on the anatase-rutile phase transformation of titania (TiO2) in mica-titania pigments and their use in paint Topuz, Berna Burcu; Gündüz, Güngör; MAVİŞ, BORA; Colak, Uner (2011-08-01) The synthesis of mica-titania special effect pigment and the effect of rutile promoting additive, tin dioxide (SnO2), on the phase transformation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) were investigated. SnO2 coating with variable thicknesses on sieved and pre-treated muscovite mica prior to TiO2 coating yields a pearlescent pigment with higher rutile-to-anatase ratio. Different than what is reported in a few cases, not the co-deposition of SnO2 and TiO2, but the coating of SnO2 before TiO2 was found critical in obtain...
Recovery of brackish water from reactive dyeing wastewater by ultrafiltration Erkanlı, Mert; ZAF, RUKEN DİLARA; Yılmaz, Levent; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Yetiş, Ülkü (2017-02-06) In this study, brackish water recovery from a real reactive dyeing textile effluent for reuse of water and salt was investigated. With the aim of improving the overall retention of species that are partly retained in a single stage, three different two-stage ultrafiltration scenarios were considered: 5 kDa followed by 5 kDa, 5 kDa followed by 2 kDa and 2 kDa followed by 2 kDa. The 2 kDa + 2 kDa scenario reduced the total organic carbon (TOC) from 239 +/- 9 mg/L to 41 +/- 7 mg/L, at 2 bar of transmembrane pr...
