This report was aimed at an investigation of efficiency for Photochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes (UV photolysis, UV/H2O2, UV/TiO2, UV/H2O2/TiO2 and UV/H2O2/Fe2+ processes) to decolorize Malachite Green Oxalate (MGO) dye. Experimental runs were performed using laboratory scale photochemical...

This review provides a general overview of the application of chemical oxidation to hydrophobic contaminants in the form of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). Three types of chemical oxidation processes, conventional activated persulfate, permanganate, and ozonation, along with three advanced...

In this study, it was studied various advanced oxidation treatment processes; Fenton, UV/H2O2, UV/O3/H2O2 for treatability of hospital wastewaters containing antibiotics (cephalosporines). Taguchi’s L25 orthogonal array design was applied to design of advanced oxidation processes, for simplification...

The use of conventional textile wastewater treatment processes becomes drastically challenged to environmental engineers with increasing more and more restrictive effluent quality by water authorities. Conventional treatment such as biological treatment discharges will no longer be tolerated as 53%...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely used for the removal of recalcitrant organic constituents from industrial and municipal wastewater. The aim of this study was to review the use of titanium dioxide/UV light process, hydrogen peroxide/UV light process and Fenton’s reactions in wastewater...

Three different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) were applied to investigate the removal of emerging contaminants (ECs) i.e. sulfamethoxazole (SMX), diclofenac (DCF) and carbamazepine (CBZ) in synthetically prepared solutions. The degradation of these substances was carried out by ozonation...

Presence of antibiotics in the environment specially in aqueous environments is considered a major warning about health and environment. Thus, this study aims the efficiency of coupled process of Activated Carbon (AC) prepared from mango seed+ZnO under UV irradiation as an advanced oxidation process...

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are toxic for the environment and human health and their tendency to readily volatilize in the atmosphere can lead to problems connected to odours annoyance. Conventional VOCs gaseous emissions treatments entail the application of chemical-physical processes, only...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have led the way in the treatment of aqueous waste and are rapidly becoming the chosen technology for many applications. In this paper, COD reduction of textile industry wastewater by electro-Fenton (EF) oxidation, was studied at batch experimental conditions. The...

Biological treatment (aerobic and anaerobic) of industrial landfill leachate is limited by the presence of toxic contaminants (e.g., heavy metals) and recalcitrant (biopersistent) organics (e.g., polyphenols, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc.,), hindering viable conditions for biomass proliferation...

In this paper, the removal of Maxilon Red GRL by adsorption onto raw soil sample known as Niğde (Bor) grape molasses soil and Fe+2/H2O2 reagent as advanced treatment processes were investigated. The effects of various experimental parameters such as initial Fe+2 and H2O2 concentrations, pH...

Photocatalysis by titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a water treatment method. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a microorganism resistant to chlorine and UV-C irradiation. TiO2 photocatalytic technology can destroy bacteria, which are resistant to oxidative destruction of cell membrane caused by sole UV...

In this work, pre-ozonation for degradation, decolourization and detoxicifying of a raw textile wastewater collected in a textile fininshing industry, Istanbul (Turkey) is investigated. Differing from the previous studies, a low ozone (O3) flow rate (9.6 mg min-1) was applied at original pH of the...

In this work, the effectiveness of electro-Fenton process degradation of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) anionic surfactant in acidic wastewater was investigated. Taguchi method was applied to study the effect of process parameters on oxidation of SDBS pollutant. An orthogonal array L 9...

This work focuses on the use of carbon-coated magnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles as catalysts for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of the emerging concern pollutant paracetamol (PCM). The magnetic core of the catalyst is composed of CoFe2O4 developed by a sol-gel method. The core is...

C.I. Acid Orange 7 (AO7) commonly used as a textile dye and could be degraded by UV/ZnO, UV/H2O2 and UV/H2O2/Fe (III) (photofenton) processes. In the photocatalytic degradation of dye by UV/ZnO process, effect of some parameters such as UV irradiation time, presence of ZnO and UV irradiation, pH...

The objective of this study is to summarize studies and investigations and show a brief details of different technologies used for the treatment of petroleum wastewater. The wastewater from Petroleum industries and refineries mainly contains oil, organic matter and other compounds. The treatment of...

Catechol is used as an antioxidant, fungicide, and polymerization inhibitors in a variety of industries such as petrochemical. Catechol must be removed from effluents before it enters to environment. This study aimed to investigate combined UV radiation and persulfate process in removal of catechol...

250 million people worldwide suffer from visual impairment. 64% of them wear glasses. More than 80 percent of all eyeglasses worn today have plastic lenses. Plastic lenses made of polycarbonate discs are created through the process of machining which requires the use of a coolant. The ensuing...
