Abstract The paper shows the possibility of application of photocatalytic water treatment method as applied to model effluents of car repair plants containing ethylene glycol. The influence of functional components of automobile coolants on total efficiency of photooxidation was considered. It has been revealed that the presence of organic dyes in automobile coolants with absorption areas coinciding with the absorption areas of photocatalysts reduces the overall efficiency of photooxidation processes.

coagulation and sedimentation method is an effective water treatment method, and the key factor is the choice of flocculant, according to its different chemical composition, it is generally divided into inorganic, organic, microbial flocculants. Because of the small dosage ,fast flocculation and less effect by external environment , organic polymeric flocculant has widely used in wastewater treatment. This paper describes some types of organic polymer flocculation and its research and application. finally,the development trend of organic polymeric flocculant was predicted.

Circulating Water

When wastewater is treated with an electronic water treatment method, hardness, alkalinity and conductivity of the wastewater decrease much slower with time on. If the operating voltage of wastewater treatment is reduced at this time, the purpose of energy saving can be realized while wastewater treatment efficiency is guaranteed. Existing electronic water treatment facilities always realize water treatment with constant low voltages and almost all of them have no optimal design about energy saving, water treatment system rust reduction, water treatment automation, etc. To solve these problems, a new energy-saving electronic water treatment facility is designed in this paper. Based on a low-power SCM MPS430F169 and circuits such as the water treatment voltage control circuit and the voltage and current sampling circuit, the facility establishes a closed-loop system with functions of water quality monitoring and automatic water treatment voltage adjustment. Experimental results show that the facility can realize real-time water quality monitoring in the process of wastewater treatment and automatically adjust operating voltage in line with the water quality, thus significantly reducing unnecessary energy consumption. The facility can be used in fields such as industrial circulating water treatment.

Abstract Purpose of Review Untreated wastewater discharge can significantly and negatively impact the state of the environment. Rapid industrialization and economic development have directly contributed to land and water pollution resulting from the application of many chemicals such as organic dyes, pharmaceuticals, and industrial reagents. The removal of these chemicals before effluent discharge is crucial for environmental protection. This review aims to explore the importance of functionalized materials in the preparation of biocatalytic systems and consider their application in eliminating water pollutants. Recent Findings Wastewater treatment methods can be classified into three groups: (i) chemical (e.g., chemical oxidation and ozonation), (ii) physical (e.g., membrane separation and ion exchange), and (iii) biological processes. Biological treatment is the most widely used method due to its cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. In particular, the use of immobilized enzymes has recently become more attractive as a result of scientific progress in advanced material synthesis. The selection of an appropriate support plays an important role in the preparation of such biologically active systems. Recent studies have demonstrated the use of various materials for enzyme immobilization in the purification of water. Summary This review identifies and discusses different biocatalytic systems used in the enzymatic degradation of various water pollutants. Materials functionalized by specific groups can serve as good support matrices for enzyme immobilization, providing chemical and thermal stability to support catalytic reactions. Enzymatic biocatalysis converts the pollutants into simpler products, which are usually less toxic than their parents. Due to immobilization, the enzyme can be used over multiple cycles to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment. Future studies in this field should focus on developing new platforms for enzyme immobilization in order to improve degradation efficiency.

Nearly one fifth of all water used in the world is obtained from groundwater. The protection of water has become a high priority goal. During the last decades pollution of water has become more and more severe. Today groundwater is more and more used in comparison with surface water. Recently we have seen accidents, which can pollute nearly all surface water very quickly. Generally the groundwater is easier to protect, as well as cheaper to purify, and above all it is of better quality than the surface water. During the past two decades, alternatives to the traditional method of treating the water in filters have been developed, that is in situ water treatment i.e. the VYREDOX and NITREDOX methods. The most common problem regarding groundwater is too high content of iron and manganese, which can be reduced with the VYREDOX method. In some areas today there are severe problems with pollution by hydrocarbons and nitrate as well, and with modification of the VYREDOX treatment method it is used for hydrocarbon and nitrate treatment as well. The method to reduce the nitrate and nitrite is known as the NITREDOX method.

Co2 Gas

CO2 gas with a special isotopic signature (δ13C = −35.2‰ vs. VPDB) was used as a marker to evaluate the efficiency of a drinking water treatment method and the effect of an ultrasonic (US) stirrer. This treatment was developed to prevent precipitation and corrosion effects in water–supply systems. The research work was performed using a laboratory-scale pilot plant that was filled with tap water. The stable isotope analyses of δ13C-DIC (Dissolved Inorganic Carbon) in the water samples indicated that the maximum content of added CO2 gas in DIC was in the range of 35 to 45%. The use of the US stirrer during the entire experiment decreased the method's overall efficiency by 10%, due to degassing at a late stage of the experiment but accelerated the dissolution process in the early experimental stage.
