Wastewater that has been discharged from the pineapple industry contributes to high levels of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Suspended Solids (SS). The high levels of COD concentrations in wastewater are toxic to biological life and will affect aquatic environment. Currently, there are many methods that have been developed to treat pineapple industry wastewater such as ozonation, reverse osmosis and filtration. However, these conventional methods are costly and generate large amounts of sludge. Biological treatment may be a good alternative since its operational cost is less and it creates an environmental friendly atmosphere compared to the conventional methods. In this study, the effectiveness of COD reduction involving a single bacterial culture D, G and I isolated from a pineapple industry wastewater were used in batch system. The COD reduction of pineapple industry wastewater was carried out using bacterial culture and pellet. The performance of these systems in reducing the COD level was monitored within 3 days. The COD reduction was analyzed using a Hach DR/4000 U spectrophotometer. The bacterial pellet D, G and I showed a maximal COD reduction of 87%, 77% and 94% respectively after 3 days exposure to wastewater. The wastewater treatment using bacterial pellet showed higher COD reduction as compared to treatment using whole bacterial culture. FESEM analysis showed that bacteria D, G and I appeared as rod shaped.

The present paper presents the main results of the biodegradation study of paper industry wastewater through physico-chemical treatment. Indeed, around 60% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal can be achieved by electroflocculation treatment. Furthermore, a removal efficiency of the COD of almost 91% has been obtained by biological treatment, with activated amount of sludge for 24 h of culture. Concerning the physico-chemical pre-treatment of the untreated, filtered and electroflocculated rejection effluents, it has been investigated through the degradation curve of COD studies.

The degradation of wine distillery wastewaters by aerobic biological treatment has been investigated in a batch reactor. The evolution of the chemical oxygen demand, biomass and total contents of polyphenolic and aromatic compounds was followed through each experiment. According to the Contois model, a kinetic expression for the substrate utilization rate is derived, and its biokinetic constant is evaluated. The final effluents of the aerobic biological experiments were oxidized by Fenton's reagent. The evolution of chemical oxygen demand, hydrogen peroxide concentration and total contents of polyphenolic and aromatic compounds was followed through each experiment. A kinetic model to interpret the experimental data is proposed. The kinetic rate constant of the global reaction is determined.

Carbofuran is a pollutant compound derived from the pesticide Furadan 3GR which is widely used in agriculture. Various methods of carbofuran degradation have been carried out, one of which is the conventional electrochemical method. This study used an electrochemical peroxidation process to degrade Carbofuran in the pesticide Furadan 3GR. This study aims to determine the optimum conditions (time, Na2SO4 concentration, and volume addition of H2O2) for electrochemical peroxidation and to compare the effectiveness of electrochemical and electrochemical peroxidation methods by measuring the parameter of carbofuran COD reduction. The significance of the electrochemical peroxidation method and the conventional electrochemical method was compared as a preliminary test. The COD reduction of Carbofuran using traditional electrochemical methods and electrochemical peroxidation was 45.76% and 88.70%, respectively. Batch carbofuran electrochemical peroxidation process was accomplished to ascertain the optimum conditions under various operation times, the concentration of Na2SO4, and the additional volume of H2O2. The largest COD reduction of 93.78% was obtained at 10 minutes, 75 mM Na2SO4, and 2 mL H2O2. The UV-Vis spectrophotometric absorption of Carbofuran at a wavelength of 274 nm was significantly reduced from 1.377 to 0.131 at optimum conditions. The IR spectrum measurement results indicate a reduction in absorbance for the N-H group (3383 cm-1) and the C=O group (1643 cm-1) at optimum conditions. Overall, the electrochemical peroxidation process proved to be an appropriate technique for COD reduction of Carbofuran in Furadan 3GR pesticides.

Bioremoval of 17 dyes with different chemical structures by Aspergillus versicolor was detected in this study. Maxilon Red GRL (MR-GRL), Everdirect Fast Black VSF (EFB-VSF) and Brillant Blue R (BB-R) were removed better by fungal mycelia. Optimum pH values were found as 6 for all three dyes. In further experiments in the highest dye concentrations tested in this study, 58.3, 100 and 49% removal yields and 14.8, 12.6, 9.0 qm values were found for MR-GRL, EFB-VSF and BB-R, respectively. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction after seven days of incubation period and role of laccase activity of Aspergillus sp. were also investigated. COD reduction and laccase activities were 55.6% and 2.93 U/mL for MR-GRL, 90.7% and 3.0 U/mL for EFB-VSF and 69.0% and 1.79 U/mL for BB-R, respectively. According to these results A. versicolor deserves notable attention for removal of these dyes in wastewater effluents.

Wastewater treatment is becoming ever more critical due to diminishing water resources, increasing wastewater disposal costs, and stricter discharge regulations that have lowered permissible contaminant levels in waste streams. The ultimate goal of wastewater management is the protection of the environment in a manner commensurate with public health and socio-economic concerns. The aim of our study is to use natural occurring plant (Pistia stratiotes) to reduce the chemical oxygen demand and color from the industrial waste water. It was found that 120 mg/l of Chemical oxygen demand and 85 mg/l of color reduction was observed with Pistia stratiotes.
