Pakistan faces social and health issues due to the mismanagement of municipal solid waste (MSW) in urban rural areas. Unhygienic conditions roadside disposal MSW negatively affect society, aesthetics, economy, tourism. This study aims determine potential thermal energy-based incineration technology for electricity generation volume reduction six major cities Punjab, namely Lahore, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot. In this study, heat content was calculated using...
In this study, an azo dye (Acid Blue 29 or AB29) was efficiently degraded with acetate as co-substrate into less contaminated biodegraded products using integrated single chamber microbial fuel cell (SMFC)-aerobic bioreactor set-up. The decolorization efficiencies were varied from 91 ± 2% to 94 1.9% and more than 85% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal achieved for all concentrations after different operating time. highest coulombic efficiency (CE) potential 3.18 0.45% 287.2 mV,...
Selecting the optimal microalgal strain for carbon capture and biomass production is crucial ensuring commercial viability of microalgae-based biorefinery processes. This study aimed to evaluate impact varying bicarbonate concentrations on growth rates, inorganic (IC) utilization, biochemical composition three freshwater two marine species. Parachlorella kessleri, Vischeria cf. stellata, Porphyridium purpureum achieved highest removal efficiency (>85%) at 6 g L
Plant-based natural coagulants are considered potential alternatives to chemical coagulants. These eco-friendly, non-toxic, and produce less sludge compared This study aims evaluate the coagulation of a novel plant-based coagulant Sorghum for canal water treatment. In addition, aid, i.e., Aloe Vera, was also tested examine any further increase in turbidity removal through jar test apparatus. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used...
To choose the reactor format in which to employ a low temperature adapted seed for wastewater treatment, we compared UASB and an AnMBR<sub>UASB (UF)</sub>reactor at HRT (15 °C).
This study was conducted with the objective to develop a treatment system that can effectively reduce elevated level of pollutants in textile effluent at primary stage conventional wastewater plant. Alum sludge, chitosan, and combination alum sludge chitosan coagulants were used as replacement such alum, etc. The performance chemically enhanced (CEPT) options evaluated by measuring supernatant residual total suspended solids (TSS), color, chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations various...
The effect of applying agro-industrial waste (AIW), such as potash extract (PE), cassava-steep wastewater (CSWW), and corn-steep liquor (CSTL), an alternative material to pretreat digested cattle slurry (DCS) for biological hydrogen production was examined. In this study, the pretreated (PT) DCS employed H2 fermentation in batch cultures utilising glucose sucrose substrates. result showed that, at 55 °C pH 5.5, DCS's daily volumetric (VHP) higher than untreated DCS. Although heat-shocked...
Intermittent backwashing and relaxation are mandatory in the membrane bioreactor (MBR) for its effective operation. The objective of current study was to evaluate effects run-relaxation run-backwash cycle time on fouling rates. Furthermore, comparison behavior high rate submerged MBR. carried out a laboratory scale MBR at flux (30 L/m2·h), treating sewage. operated three operational scenarios by keeping run ratio constant. Similarly, results revealed that provision or small intervals...
A low-cost approach for enhancing mesophilic (37 °C) anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic waste using a low-temperature pretreatment with different mineral wastes (MW) was investigated. higher and stable methane production rate, in comparison to MW-free controls, achieved 80 days at loading rates 1–2 g VS/L·d, feed substrate pretreated incinerator bottom ash (IBA). The boiler cement-based pretreatments also produced high but some process instability. In contrast, an fly showed progressive...
