Rapid population growth and urbanization have resulted in a multi-fold increase water consumption over the last few decades, resulting generation of large amounts sewage sludge that impose severe environmental burdens if not handled properly. Sludge management itself accounts for up to 50% total operating costs wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Conventional practices such as incineration, landfilling, ocean disposal been deemed difficult light today’s stringent legislation compliance...
The electrocoagulation (EC) process introduces coagulants by electrochemical means, and is widely adopted for removing heavy metals, besides other contaminants, such as organic pollutants, suspended dissolved solids, colloidal materials, etc. However, its capability can vary significantly, depending on the operating conditions. Although most of investigations so far are limited at laboratory level with artificially prepared solutions or industrial effluent lacking full- field-scale studies,...
Pulp and paper industry generates effluent containing harmful compounds like chlorophenols which are difficult to biodegrade.It requires an appropriate treatment in order meet the stringent discharge standards.In this work, a bench scale column type sequential batch reactor (SBR) was employed for treating pulp wastewater.The performance of SBR, seeded with acclimatized sludge optimized analysed maximizing COD AOX removal.The process parameters viz; pH, initial COD, cycle time MLSS were their...
Abstract In the present work, electrocoagulation was applied for copper removal from aqueous solution employing iron electrodes in a cylindrical reactor. A four‐factorial central composite design (CCD) based on response surface methodology (RSM) to study effect of various process parameters efficiency and energy consumption as responses. On optimization, maximum up 95% attained with 0.903 W‐hour per gram Cu (II) at current 0.26 A, initial concentration 27.8 ppm, application time 5.4 min pH...
In extreme situations with a large number of victims, field hospitals are deployed to provide patients medical treatment. The different types medications used generates the problem hospital waste accumulation, including wastewater (HWW). Wastewater is water having compromised characteristics that adversely affect environment. Many countries do not have strict regulations regarding disposal effluent, which contains pathogens, toxic chemicals and radioisotopes. such substances poses serious...
Threats due to insufficient, inadequate and costlier methods of treating contaminants such as arsenic have emphasized the significance optimizing managing processes adopted. This study was aimed at complete elimination from an aqueous medium with minimum energy consumption using electrocoagulation process. Arsenic removal around 95% rapidly attained for optimized conditions having a pH 7, 0.46 A current intensity, 10 mg/L initial concentration only 2 min applied time duration 3.1 watt-hour...
The adsorption process has been used as an effective technique for the removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. Groundwater remediation by nanoparticles received interest in recent years. In present study, a binary oxide Fe-Cu was prepared and hexavalent chromium solution. Batch experiments were performed to investigate effects initial Cr (VI) concentration, dose adsorbent, pH solution on efficiency (VI). nanostructured oxides able reduce concentration Binary nanoparticle exhibited...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to cover some aspects about the disposal and regulatory standard around world toward hospital effluent discharge, its managements treatment technologies that are adopted best suitable nowadays. Design/methodology/approach Due large variety antibiotics available in market nowadays it difficult control use, thereby risking whole ecosystem components. regulation pattern variable depending upon various factors different countries. permissible limit these...
