To use a new potential lignocellulosic bioresource that has several attractive agroenergy features for ethanol production, the chemical characterization and compositional analysis of fruit wastes were carried out.Orange bagasse orange, banana, mango peels studied to determine their general biomass characteristics provide detailed structures.Semiquantitative showed components each waste differed with respect composition.Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) residual presence various...
In this contribution, we described how phytoremediation using M. aquaticum is feasible with coupled ozonation/Fenton-like processes in real wastewater from the denim textile industry, purpose of removing color and, therefore, highly polluting particles. For process, pHs 3 and 9 were evaluated a copper-enriched pumice to activate catalytic carried out Fenton-like reactions. Subsequently, was completely degrade by-products generated ozone/Fenton-like process. Plant health controlled through...
The removal of organic pollutants from food-industry wastewater by an aluminum electrocoagulation process was evaluated using a pilot batch reactor coupled to rotating electrode. Under optimal conditions pH 4, 18.2 A m-2 current density, and 150 rpm electrode rotational velocity, the electrochemical method yields very effective reduction all pollutants. Treatment reduced chemical oxygen demand (COD) 88%, biochemical (BOD5) 52%, total solids 82%, coliforms 93%. effect on species formed...
Electrocoagulation is an electrochemical technique which being applied to the removal of a number water pollutants: metals, organic contaminants, dyes and pigments, colloidal solids particles, soluble inorganic pollutants, others. Both reactions that take place at electrode effect on bulk solution are explained. The influence metal cation concentration (iron or aluminum) as well pH aqueous shown. advantages disadvantages electrocoagulation compared traditional coagulation methods reviewed....
The goal of this research was to investigate the effectiveness chemical and electrochemical pretreatments in removing biorefractory compounds from a complex industrial wastewater. presence recalcitrant wastewater reduces traditional biological treatments; case, COD reduction around 30%. Therefore, some are required eliminate toxic substances improve efficiency. Chemical coagulation evaluated using standard jar testing technique with aluminum iron sulfates polyhydroxychloride (PAC). best...
The present research aims to study the removal of indigo carmine dye used in industrial denim dyeing processes. For this purpose, integrated advanced oxidation process comprising ozone and electrocoagulation techniques were used. After was applied 64% color removal, 78% turbidity 3% COD reduction observed. With treatment a 22%, 21% 9% achieved, respectively. However; using process, 65% 76% 37% could be attained. synergistics associated coupling both processes yielded increased color,...
A green method for synthesizing iron oxide nanorods within orange peel pith has been developed. Orange functions as both a support and reducing agent ions. The were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission microscopy photoelectron spectroscopy. Results of the characterization indicate that is deposited on surface primarily in form iron, iron(II) magnetite. nanoparticles grow to range 20-40 nm diameter. biocomposite was then tested...
Technical and economic criteria were used to evaluate the feasibility of treatment an industrial effluent (10 m3/h) for water recovery reuse. The evaluation included following: (1) characteristic determination; (2) selection at lab scale, establishing operating conditions process efficiency; (3) scaling up level; (4) plant design commercial availability analysis required equipment; (5) costs inversion operation treatment, cost/m3 recovery, time investment recovery. physicochemical...
At present, the amount of heavy metals in some aquifers exceeds limits established by standards, especially developing countries. Cadmium is present high concentrations aquifers; contact with cadmium can lead to adverse health effects. Adsorption one most efficient and low-cost methods currently used separate from water systems. In order obtain a sustainable metal adsorption system, abundant, low-cost, biodegradable, easy-to-treat organic waste compounds were sought. Three biosorbents...
In this study, gamma irradiation induced degradation of orange peels (OP) was investigated. The lignocellulosic biomass carried out at doses 0 (control), 600, 1800 and 3500 kGy using a Co-60 radiation source. samples were tested for total reducing sugars. concentrations sugars ranged from 0.530 g∙g−1 in control sample to 0.382 dry weight the which received highest dose. content varying 0.018 0.184 with largest rise occurring irradiated kGy. sucrose, glucose fructose determined. changes...
