Since the performance of algal treatment for pulp mill effluent decreases with increasing color intensity and AOX content, which mainly originate from the chlorine bleaching of Kraft pulp, the separated CEH bleaching effluent was pre-treated by both the conventional and the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation processes. An increase in the BOD5/COD, ratio from 0.11 to 0.28 and 87% color abatement in terms of Pt-Co were achieved by catalytic ozonation, which had the best treatment performance. Biodegradability enhancement of the CEH effluent correlated well with a decrease in toxicity, high-molecular-weight-compound content, and AOX abatement. By the pre-treatment of the CEH bleaching effluent, the overall efficiencies of algal treatment of the combined pulp mill effluent in terms of the fractional removal of COD and color were increased from 76% and 53% to 86-90% and 96-99%, respectively. Effects of both the conventional and the catalytic ozonation pre-treatments on subsequent biological treatment were close to each other and they reduced the filling period of the Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) cycle from 8 to 5 days.

Sequential Anaerobic Aerobic biological treatment of Dalaman SEKA Pulp and Paper Industry effluent TEZEL, ULAŞ; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; DEMİRER, GÖKSEL NİYAZİ; GÜVEN, ENGİN (Elsevier BV, 2001-12-01) In the pulp and paper industry, lignin and other color compounds are removed by chemical agents in bleaching process. Use of chlorine-based agents results in production of degradation products which include various chloro-organic derivatives. Since these new compounds are highly chlorinated, they cause a problem in the treatment of pulp and paper industry wastewaters. Chemical precipitation, lagooning, activated sludge, and anaerobic treatment are the processes used for treating pulp and paper effluents. Fu...
Bacterial application increased the flow rate of CaCO3-clogged emitters of drip irrigation system Eroğlu, Seçkin; Tunc, Talip; Sahin, Fikrettin (Elsevier BV, 2012-05-01) CaCO3 is one of the most common emitter clogging factors among chemical precipitates in drip irrigation systems. Continuous acid application as a classical approach to prevent CaCO3 clogging can be tricky, expensive and hazardous for soil. In order to develop an environmentally friendly method to address the problem, two bacterial strains, one renowned as a PGPR and the other having extensive CaCO3 dissolving capacity, were used in treatments of artificially clogged drip irrigation emitters. Results showed ...
MODELING OF DYE REDUCTION BY SLUDGE DIGESTION: COMBINED EFFECT OF BIOCHEMICAL AND CHEMICAL REDUCTION Ozkan-Yucel, Umay Gokce; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (OAIMDD - EcoZone Publishing House, 2017-07-01) The kinetics of azo dye reduction based on combined effect of biochemical reduction by anaerobic mixed culture and chemical reduction with hydrogen sulfide was investigated. Hydrogen sulfide was produced by sulphate reducing bacteria existing in the anaerobic mixed culture. The effect of initial anaerobic biomass, initial substrate, and initial dye (Reactive Orange 107) concentrations on reduction kinetics were studied with batch assays. The municipal waste sludge was used as electron donating substrate for...
Diversity and community analysis of ammonia oxidizing bacteria in a streambed surrounding an artificial dam Murdoch, Robert Waller; Staniec, Andria Costello (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-30) The degree to which small natural dams affect the native bacterial nitrogen cycling community was explored by molecular methods. The identities and relative abundances of ammonia oxidizing bacteria in the sediment surrounding an artificial dam both at the surface and in the hyporheic zone were characterized. Analyses were performed using tRFLP of the conserved amoA gene using a semi-nested degenerate PCR approach. Additionally, an amoA gene library was constructed to characterize the most dominant sediment ...
The impact of alkali pretreatment and post-pretreatment conditioning on the surface properties of rice straw affecting cellulose accessibility to cellulases KARUNA, Nardrapee; ZHANG, LU; WALTON, Jeffrey H.; Couturier, Marie; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Master, Emma R.; MCCARTHY, Michael J.; JEOH, Tina (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-01) Rice straw was pretreated with sodium hydroxide and subsequently conditioned to reduce the pH to 5-6 by either: (1) extensive water washing or (2) acidification with hydrochloric acid then water washing. Alkali pretreatment improved the enzymatic digestibility of rice straw by increasing the cellulose accessibility to cellulases. However, acidification after pretreatment reversed the gains in cellulose accessibility to cellulases and enzymatic digestibility due to precipitation of solubilized compounds. Sur...
