A new method of membrane sequencing batch reactor (MSBR) process in abattoir wastewater treatment is given. With nitrification and denitrification bacterium, it is effective to remove nitrogen. At the same time, the whole system can be autocontrolled and do not add any drugs or bacteriums again afte

A new method of separation of carcinogenic aromatic amines in wastewater is given. With SDS (C12H25O4SNa) and β-CD (β-cyclodextrin) addition, it is effective to improve separation. At the same time, it forms mixed micelle. As a result, a micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) system

This study considers the feasibility of hybridization of existing co-generation plant with reverse osmosis and aquifer storage. This hybrid system is characterized by the following technological, economic and strategic advantages: (1) increased range of variation of power to water ratio; (2) possibi

The solubility of carbon dioxide in different mixtures of aqueous solutions (normal water and different composition of saline water) has been determined at temperature of 25–90°C and pressure of 1–2 bar by using an experimental rig which has been designed to ensure proper contact between the CO2 gas

Multiple-effect (ME) distillation was the first process used to desalt a significant amount of seawater. This process takes place in a series of effects (stages) and uses the principle of reducing the ambient pressure in the various stages in order of their arrangement. In this work, a fuzzy logic i

The use of ultrafiltration (UF) is receiving more attention for drinking water treatment, but its fouling remains a problem. Reservoir water was selected as raw water during pilot study. Worldwide drinking water reservoirs may contain algae, which pose a threat to drinking water treatment. UF membra

The continuing development of higher performance selective membranes of reverse osmosis, RO, and nanofiltration, NF, enables the elaboration of separation processes and wastewater treatment methods based on simple or hybrid membrane processes. The present work reports on the continuation of a long t

A hybrid process, consisting of ozonation and membrane filtration, followed by activated carbon filtration, was studied in demonstration scale for the drinking and service water production from surface water in Thailand. The main focus of this study centred on the evaluation of the entire process, e

Membrane processes are more and more used in treating waste water in order to reuse, and then alleviate water scarcity problems. In this pilot test, ultrafiltration (UF) membrane was chosen as the pretreatment of reverse osmosis (RO) for the reuse of the cooling tower blowdown (CTB) of a power plant

The tannery effluent carrying hazardous Cr(VI) species due to the oxidation of Cr(III) species was found to pollute the soil and the ground water of Jajmau area of Kanpur city where a large number of tanneries are located. We have studied the phyto-remediation of Cr(VI). Biosorption of the chromium
