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 recognized as an efficient technique for the mineralization of these non-biodegradable pollutants. Fenton-like process is one of the AOPs, in which Fe+3 is used as a catalyst and H2O2 as an oxidant under limited pH range. Higher sludge is produced in AOPs, because of the difficulties in catalyst recycling. So, in recent years, efforts have been exerted towards the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts which could work at wider range of pH with a minimum sludge production and recycled catalysts. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed study is to test a new catalyst with indigenous zeolite mineral and compared with other heterogeneous catalyst available in market in terms of their effectiveness toward the removal of pesticides from wastewater via the Fenton like process.

Removal of pesticides from secondary treated urban wastewater by reverse osmosis ATEŞ, NURAY; UZAL, NİĞMET; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2022-04-01) The residues of pesticides that reach water resources from agricultural activities in several ways contaminate drinking water resources and threaten aquatic life. This study aimed to investigate the performance of three reverse osmosis (RO) membranes (BW30-LE, SW30-XLE, and GE-AD) in rejecting four different pesticides (tributyl phosphate, flutriafol, dicofol, and irgarol) from secondary treated urban wastewater and also to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the rejection of these pesticides. RO experiment...
Removal of THM precursors by GAC: Ankara case study Capar, G; Yetiş, Ülkü (2002-03-01) The effectiveness of granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption for the removal of natural organic matter and trihalomethanes from Ivedik Water Treatment Plant of Ankara City is investigated. Freundlich Isotherm constants K and n were determined as 17.61 and 1.66, respectively. Bench-scale GAC columns were run with empty bed contact times (EBCT) varying from 0.40 to 2.67 min to evaluate adsorption performance. 50% exhaustion values were used for comparison. The treated volumes of water increased with EBCT, ...
ENRICHMENT OF DENITRIFYING ANAEROBIC METHANE OXIDATION (DAMO) AND ANAEROBIC AMMONIUM OXIDATION (ANAMMOX) CO-CULTURE FOR THE TREATMENT OF ANAEROBIC DIGESTER EFFLUENT Harb, Rayaan; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Department of Environmental Engineering (2023-1-20) Recently, the implementation of next-generation biological nutrient removal techniques aimed at recycling nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus while generating energy, producing value-added products and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, in wastewater treatment plants is being emphasized. In this regard, investigating the development and applicability of a DAMO-Anammox co-culture and a novel DAMO-Anammox-Microalgae sequential treatment unit in the treatment of anaerobic digester (AD) effluent was the...
Disintegration of Sludge by Sonication and Improvement of Methane Production Rates in Batch Anaerobic Digesters Zorba, Gozde T.; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2013-04-01) Sludge pretreatment prior to anaerobic digestion has been found to reduce sludge production in wastewater treatment. Sludge disintegration using physical, chemical, biological, or mechanical methods can increase biogas production and reduce sludge quantities. Ultrasonication is one of the most effective means of mechanical disintegration. This study aims to investigate ultrasonication as a means for solubilizing waste activated sludge (WAS) to enhance its digestability. Sonication was applied by the use of ...
Effect of ozone pretreatment on methane production and microbial community structure of single-stage anaerobic digesters Tuncay, Sera; İçgen, Bülent; Department of Environmental Engineering (2021-2-09) Increasing amount of sludge produced by wastewater treatment plants poses many problems in environmental, public health and economic aspects. Anaerobic digestion (AD), the most common sludge stabilization method, is used to reveal energy potential of sludge as methane-rich biogas. Various pretreatment methods are applied to enhance AD efficiency by facilitating the rate limiting hydrolysis step. Ozone pretreatment is a remarkable method for improving methane production, sludge reduction and pathogen removal...
