Catalytic ozonation is a promising treatment method for both water and wastewater. In this study, in order to increase the biodegradability of bleaching wastewater from an integrated pulp- and -paper production plant, granulated activated carbon-(GAC), iron-(Fe2+) and manganese-(Mn2+) ion-catalyzed ozonation processes were used as a pre-treatment process. The effects of the catalyst concentration and the initial pH (pH(i)) of wastewater on the treatment efficiency of processes were investigated. Although metal-ion-catalyzed ozonation at pH(i)=7 led to an increase in the biodegradability of wastewater a similar treatment performance was obtained by mere ozonation process at natural pH of wastewater (pH=10). The integration of ozone with GAC resulted in both higher treatment efficiency and the regeneration of GAC. The BOD5/COD ratio of bleaching wastewater increased from 0.11 to 0.29 by the application of O-3/GAC (10 g.L-1)/pH(i)=10 process within a 60-minute treatment period. While 50% overall COD removal rate was obtained by the O-3/GAC (10 g.L-1)/pH(i)=10 process overall COD removal was increased to 63% by decreasing the initial pH of wastewater to 7.

Heidarizad, Mahdi; Şengör, Sema Sevinç (2017-01-01)
Catalytic ozonation is a promising advanced oxidation technique for the removal of contaminants from water and wastewater. Graphene oxide (GO) is an oxidized derivative of graphene which contains epoxide, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups with high surface area, and is being recently used for effective adsorption of pollutants in aquatic environments. In our previous work, we modified GO with magnesium oxide (MgO) and demonstrated the high-rate adsorption of methylene blue (MB) by the synthesized nanocomposite ...

Wide spread documentation of antibiotic pollution is becoming a threat to aquatic environment. Erythromycin (ERY), a macrolide belonging antibiotic is at the top of this list with its concentrations ranging between ng/L to a few mu g/L in various global waterbodies giving rise to ERY-resistance genes (ERY-RGs) and ERY- resistance bacteria (ERY-RBs) posing serious threat to the aquatic organisms. ERY seems resistant to various conventional water treatments, remained intact and even increased in terms of mass...
Diesel Oil Degradation Potential of a Bacterium Inhabiting Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Surface Waters and Characterization of Its Emulsification Ability
Onur, Gozde; Yılmaz, Fadime; İçgen, Bülent (Wiley, 2015-07-01)
Degradation of poorly water soluble hydrocarbons, like n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are challenged by some bacteria through emulsification of hydrocarbons by producing biosurfactants. In diesel oil bioremediation, diesel oil degrading and surfactant producing bacteria are used to eliminate these pollutants from contaminated waters. Therefore, identifying and characterizing bacteria capable of producing surfactant and degrading diesel oil are pivotal. In this study, bacteria isolated from h...
Algal treatment of pulp and paper industry wastewaters in SBR systems
Tarlan, E; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2002-01-01)
Highly colored and highly polluted pulp and paper industry wastewaters are proposed to be treated by using algae in sequential batch reactors (SBR). Results of batch studies revealed that up to 74% COD; 74% color removal could be attained in about 40 days of incubation, From the preliminary SBR experiments, filling period was found to be a critical step affecting the overall efficiency when mixing and aeration is applied during filling. Therefore, 5 different filling periods (4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 days) were s...
Triclosan removal from surface water by ozonation - Kinetics and by-products formation
ORHON, kemal berk; ORHON, aybala koc; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü (2017-12-15)
Removal of triclosan from surface water by ozonation was investigated. The results showed that complete elimination of triclosan from a surface water bearing 1-5 mg/L triclosan via continuous ozonation at 5 mg/L, require an ozonation time of 20-30 min depending on pH. Triclosan oxidation followed pseudo-first order kinetics with an apparent reaction rate constant varying from 0.214 min(-1) to 0.964 min(-1) depending on pH, initial triclosan concentration and water composition. Although the effect of pH was ...
