Combined effluents of a Kraft pulp mill using yearly plants were treated in a lab-scale activated sludge system. Average TOC and AOX removal efficiencies were 83% and 21% respectively. The effect of the operating solids retention time (SRT) on AOX removal was investigated and it was found that highest AOX removal (30%) occurs at longer SRT's. Mass balance on the system revealed that the principal AOX removal mechanism was metabolization at long SRT. About 90% of the AOX removed was metabolized. As SRT was lowered both AOX removal efficiency decreased and AOX removal mechanism changed to removal by wastage of the AOX adsorbed onto the daily wasted biomass. The effect of influent AOX concentration and additional carbon source on microbial activity was investigated by performing batch tests. The presence of additional COD increased the activity, however, the effect of influent AOX concentration was not clear.

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...
Removal of Pesticide from Water with Fenton-like Process: Effectiveness of a new heterogeneous catalyst (Fenton Benzeri Proses ile Sulardan Pestisit Giderimi: Yeni bir heterojen katalizörün etkinliğinin araştırılması) Dilek, Filiz Bengü(2017-12-31) Extensive utilization of pesticides in the form of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides result in surface water pollution through runoff from agricultural lands and urban discharges. Besides, their very low concentrations (μg/L or ng/L) in surface water bodies and in domestic wastewaters, removal of these pollutants in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are recommended due to being highly persistent, toxic, bio-accumulative and hence dangerous for aquatic ecosystems. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are...
Treatment of olive mill wastewater by different physicochemical methods and utilization of their liquid effluents for biological hydrogen production Eroglu, Ela; Erolu, Inci; Gündüz, Ufuk; Yucel, Meral (2009-04-01) in this study various two-stage processes were investigated for biological hydrogen production from olive mill wastewater (OMW) by Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001. Two-stage processes consist of physicochemical pretreatment of OMW followed by photofermentation for hydrogen production. Explored pretreatment methods were chemical oxidation with ozone and Fenton's reagent, photodegradation by UV radiation, and adsorption with clay or zeolite. Among these different two-stage processes, strong chemical oxidants ...
Removal of Crystal Violet and Eriochrome Black T Dyes from Aqueous Solutions by Magnetic Nanoparticles Biosynthesized from Leaf Extract of Fraxinus Chinensis Roxb Ali, Imran; Peng, Changsheng; Khan, Zahid M.; Sultan, Muhammad; Naz, Iffat; Ali, Mohsin; Farid, Hafiz U.; Mahmood, Muhammad H.; Ahsen, Rameez (HARD Publishing Company, 2019-01-01) In the present research, a "green" recipe was used to produce innovative phytogenic magnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs) from leaf extract of Fraxinus chinensis Roxb without employing any additional toxic surfactants as capping agents. The convenient reaction between metal salt solution and plant biomolecules occurred within a few minutes by color changes from pale green to intense black, hinting at the production of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The formation of PMNPs was verified by employing different techniq...
Removal of Trace Amounts of Copper from Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid Solutions Öztürk, Abdullah; Aras, Mustafa Serdal; Karagul, Sedef Cift; Ersoy, Merve Kolay; Öztürk, Abdullah; Karakaya, İshak (ESG, 2018-11-01) Pickling process is recognized as one of the strongest acid consuming processes in the steel industry. A pickling solution that contains hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used for the metal surface treatment of steel plants. The same acid can be used for a long period of time by means of a regeneration process, in which iron concentration of the acid is decreased to insignificant concentrations. However, regenerated pickling solutions contain copper, especially when scrap is used to produce steel. Furthermore, cop...
