Over the last several years, the investigations of the natural zeolites application in the sorption processes have been intensified. Purification of waste waters in order to remove lead, cadmium, copper and other heavy metals, is one significant example of such application. In this paper, the investigations results on characteristics of the natural and chemically activated zeolites from the region of Vranje (Serbia, Yugoslavia), are presented. The experiments with zeolites were performed after determination of their physico-chemical characteristics. Adsorptive characteristics were investigated under laboratory conditions, in a liquid medium, depending on granulation and concentration of the heavy metals. As the obtained results show, these natural materials can be used to remove heavy metals from the waste waters.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Optimization of methyl orange removal from water by sorption on iron(II) hydroxide
1997
Karlovic, E. | Dalmacija, B. | Tamas, Z. | Ivancev-Tumbas, I. (Prirodno-matematicki fakultet, Novi Sad (Yugoslavia). Institut za hemiju)
The work describes optimization on the process of separation of a synthetic dye, methyl orange, from water by sorption on iron(II) hydroxide, using response surface methodology. It was established that the optimum sorption conditions for dye removal on iron(II) hydroxide are: pH 9.1, iron(II) concentration 128 mg/l, dye concentration 10 mg/l, whereby the highest efficiency of dye removal is close to 90%.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Inactivation of electoplanting sludge by vitrification
1997
Karlovic, E. | Dalmacija, B. | Kovacevic, S. (Prirodno-matematicki fakultet, Novi Sad (Yugoslavia). Institut za hemiju)
The work is concerned with the possibility of inactivation of galvanic sludge formed in treatment of wastewaters of electroplanting plants by imbedding the waste in a glass material. Glass can be synthesized in contact with the waste by mixing and heating with glass constituents. The efficiency of inactivation was monitored by leaching the obtained materials. The results of leaching tests showed that the highest amount of electroplanting sludge (about 30%) can be inactivated by vitrification of the following mixtures: 26.3% of electoplanting sludge, 43.7% of sand, and 30.0% of Na2CO3 at 1000 deg C; 30% of galvanic sludge, 49% of sand and 21% of Na2CO3 at 1100 deg C.

Pollution of the environment by toxic metals arises as a result of human activities such as industrial, agricultural, mine-drainage and sewage disposal. Once in the environment, the metal undergo several forms of transformations. The removal of toxic metal is of great significance from the environmental and industrial point of view. The increased in sound environment and stringent legal requirements has led to the need for cost effective treatment technology for metal pollution control. Biological treatment processes using microbial biomass are known capable of treating industrial waste successfully. The initial aim of the project was to screen a number of metal-tolerant organisms and develop microbial strain capable of detoxification, biosorption and recovery of heavy metals. Due to limited knowledge based studies on several industrial wastes are necessary to determine the potential strains as well as the viable technique to be used in recovery/removal of heavy metals
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Role of on-site wastewater treatment system in improvement of water environment in the Philippines
1997
Rondo, M.
Rapid urbanization of the Philippines, especially of Metro Manila area, has caused serious water pollution. Main causes of this are categorized into industrial wastewater and domestic wastewater, discharged without sufficient treatment. As for industrial wastewater, it is essential to put strict regulations on effluent standards, and for municipalities to keep a regular check to ensure these regulations are observed. Philippine government has been working on the improvement of the legislation and control of industrial wastewater until now. However, from now on, it is vital to put more efforts in getting domestic wastewater treated properly. It is indeed crucial to put the existing sewerage construction plans into practice, but generally, sewerage systems require; 1) long construction period, 2) effective funding, 3) high-density construction, and 4) human resources to run the systems effectively. Meanwhile, on-site waste water treatment tanks, or what we called purifiers, can play an important role in controlling the pollution of water environment, and they will serve to complement the sewerage system even after the completion of construction. Small-scale on-site wastewater treatment tanks, or small-scale purifiers, developed and used in Japan especially in developing countries, not only in the scope of environmental conservation but also from the viewpoint of utilizing the economic resources in the private sector
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Development of bioreactors for denitrification with immobilized cells
1997
Matsumura, M. | Tsubota, H. | Ito, O. | Wang, P.C. | Yasuda, K. (University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki (Japan). Inst. of Applied Biochemistry)
Macro-porous cellulose carrier (AQUACEL) was applied for immobilization of denitrifying bacteria to develop a practical nitrogen removal system with high performance. When the immobilized cell was applied to denitrification under high nitrogen loading rate, flotation of carriers caused by the evolution of nitrogen gas resulted. To counter the problem of carrier flotation, new reactors using hydrodynamic jet flow and centrifugal force were developed. These new reactors distributed homogeneously the floating carriers, and complete denitrification was obtained even at high loading rate of 20 kg N/cu m-carrier/d. This AQUACEL system was effectively applied to denitrification of wastewater discharged from an eletroplating factory
