The influence of the concentration total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) on competition between isolated oil-degrading bacteria (ODB) and finished compost microorganisms (FCM) was investigated in composting bioreactors over 12 weeks period. First, batch tests were performed Bushnell–Haas medium (BHM) to evaluate biodegradation activities six native ODB from sludge (PS). Then, added containing 10 30 g/kg TPHs. Based BHM results, highest degradation efficiency crude oil (1%–3% concentration)...
This study investigated the preparation, characterization, and capacity of a magnetic powder activated carbon (MPAC) composite to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous solutions. The iron oxide nanoparticles deposited on PAC surface enabled adsorbent be simply rapidly recovered solutions using field. PAH compounds were adsorbed MPAC through π-π H-π interactions based peak position changes observed in FTIR spectra after adsorption. PAHs adsorption by was relatively fast,...
This study aimed to synthesize chitosan crosslinked by sodium tripolyphosphate with different concentrations and optimize it for Ni(II) adsorption in a batch system. The BET analysis the solubility/swelling test showed that as crosslinking degree increased, surface area total pore volume decreased while physicochemical properties improved. effect of initial pH temperature on was studied system, thermodynamic parameters were calculated. In order enhance capacity chitosan, Response Surface...
This study showcases the ability of chitosan powder to selectively adsorb Co(II), Mn(II), and Ni(II) from spent lithium-ion batteries within a sulfate-citrate medium while effectively maintaining Li in solution. Characterization via BET, FT-IR, TGA analyses revealed that amine hydroxyl groups are key players adsorption. Considerably high adsorption rates for Co(II) Ni(II), surpassing 80%, underscore chitosan's potential robust metal ions retrieval. Notably, exhibits negligible capacity Li,...
Zeolite ion-exchange column system has been suggested as a viable option for the removal of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) from explosives-impacted mining wastewater (EIMWW) in cold regions. The objective this bench-scale study was to compare effectiveness several NaOCl, NaOCl-NaCl and NaCl regeneration solutions on performance zeolite loaded with synthetic EIMWW. NaOCl experiments confirmed that effluent pH, chlorine level, free levels during were positively related, thus indicating is...
