Applied pilot-scale studies on ceramic membrane processes for the treatment of wastewater streams
General
Asymmetric multilayer Al2O3 ceramic membranes with pore sizes ranging from 3 to 500 nm are synthesized in tubular form with external diameter of 14mm, internal diameter of 8mm and length of 340mm. The membrane synthesis took place on commercially available supports, with the dip-coating technique...
Use of ion exchange for removal of Ammonium: A biological regeneration of zeolite
General
Nitrogen in the Ammonia form can have deleterious effects in water resources. Ion Exchange by zeolite and biological Nitrification processes are two proposed methods for removing Nitrogen compounds from wastewater and effluents. The main objective of this research was to investigate the efficiency...
Determination of inert Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) fractions of Cumhuriyet University wastewater
General
Some amounts of inert products are given into environment due to biological degradation of substrate in activated sludge system. The effluent of biological wastewater treatment consists of inert substrate in influent flow, soluble microbial products and non degradable or slowly degradable organic...
Toxicity reduction in leather tanning wastewater by improved coagulation flocculation process
General
The wastewater of leather industry which is one of the most widespread industries having large amount of water consumption and very high pollution loads, may be characterized by several key parameters including toxic pollutants exhibiting toxicity. Therefore the effluent of leather tanning industry...
Addition of nitrate for odor control in sewer networks: laboratory and field experiments
General
This paper presents a biological method for controlling odor problems caused by H2S originating from sewer networks under anaerobic conditions. The proposed method is based on the continuous addition of nitrate which oxidizes dissolved sulphide according to an autotrophic biological procedure and...
Environmental significance of atrazine in aqueous systems and its removal by biological processes: an overview
General
Atrazine, a chlorinated s-triazine group of herbicide is one of the most widely used pesticides in the World. Due to its extensive use, long half-life and various toxic properties, it has very high environmental significance. Up to 22 mg l-1 of atrazine was found in ground water whereas permissible...
Kinetic characterization of nitrifying pure cultures in chemostate
General
The process of nitrification in wastewater treatment is widely accepted as a two-step process. In the first step the ammonia is oxidized to nitrite, a process considered to be carried out mainly by the Nitrosomonas sp., while in the second step the Nitrobacter sp. oxidizes the nitrite to nitrate...
El-Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO): Recent Evolution and Possibilities for Long Range Flow Forecasting in the Brahmaputra-Jamuna River
General
The El Nino-Southern Oscillation is the dominant pattern of short-term climate variation, and is therefore of great importance in climate studies. Some recent studies showed the teleconnection between stream flow and the El-Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. This paper...
Economic Evaluation of Small Capacity Sewage Processing Units
General
This paper aims at a comparative evaluation of the total cost of urban sewage processing units for several treatment systems, appropriate mainly for small capacity plants. The studied systems are: Oxidation Ditch (O.D.), Trickling Filter (T.F.), Rotating Biological Contactor (R.B.C.), Compact...
Trends of the daily maximum temperatures in relation with the climatic change and the urbanization in the Athens basin
General
It is well known that the studies that associate the climatic changes with the greenhouse effect, as a sequence of uninterruptedly ongoing figures in the concentration mainly of carbon dioxide, have been focused on the trends of the mean temperature. On the other hand the variability and the trends...
