Industry Wastewater

Soft drinks industry wastewater from various production lines is discharged into the Industrial Effluent Treatment Plant. The traditional coagulation/flocculation method as first step, followed by biological treatment as second step, has been adopted for treating the soft drinks industry wastewaters. The performance of the plant has been evaluated. It has been found that the effluent characteristics are in most cases in correspondence with the requested standards for discharging the effluent into the Nicosia central sewerage system.

A small industrial effluent treatment plant has been designed and installed for the treatment of wastewater from a potato chips and snacks factory. The total daily flow rate to the plant was 115 m3/d, while the influent COD mass flux was 838.7 kg/d and the BOD mass flux was 626.7 kg/d. The applied method of treatment is a simple upflow anaerobic reactor with internal settling and gas collection units, followed by aerobic treatment based on the activated sludge process with diffused air system. The quality of the treated water is better than requested and the overall treatment process efficiencies are 99.2% for COD removal and 99.5% for BOD5 removal. The results of the operation of the plant during the first five months are examined and described in this paper.

ABSTRACT A mixed culture utilizing EDTA as the sole carbon source was isolated from a mixed inoculum of water from the River Mersey (United Kingdom) and sludge from an industrial effluent treatment plant. Fourteen component organisms were isolated from the culture, including representatives of the genera Methylobacterium,Variovorax, Enterobacter,Aureobacterium, and Bacillus. The mixed culture biodegraded metal-EDTA complexes slowly; the biodegradability was in the order Fe>Cu>Co>Ni>Cd. By incorporation of inorganic phosphate into the medium as a precipitant ligand, heavy metals were removed in parallel to EDTA degradation. The mixed culture also utilized a number of possible EDTA degradation intermediates as carbon sources.

Incomplete Treatment

Heavy metal pollution in wastewater has always been a serious environmental problem because heavy metals are not biodegradable and can be accumulated in living tissues. Copper is widely used in various important industrial applications. The increasing level of heavy metals in the aquatic system due to incomplete treatment of industrial wastewater by existing conventional methods is of environmental concern. Therefore, there has been an increasing interest in the possibility of using biological treatments. It is important to evaluate the performance of biomass with actual industrial effluent to ensure its field applicability. Hence the experiments were conducted with actual industrial effluents collected from Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and tannery industry.

Abstract Fluoride contamination in groundwater is now becoming a global concern. In the present study, removal of fluoride using dry biomass (DBM) of a micro-algal consortium of Chlorococcum infusionum and Leptolyngbya foveolaurum, collected from a coke-oven effluent treatment plant, Durgapur, India, has been investigated. The large volume of algal bloom in the industrial effluent has created serious disposal issues and caused severe environmental concerns. A biosorption technique has been carried out to valorize the waste algae biomass into a potential adsorbent. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used to model and optimize fluoride removal. Maximum fluoride removal (72%) is obtained at pH 4, 5 mg/L initial fluoride concentration, 0.5 g/L adsorbent dose (AD), and 25 °C temperature during one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) analysis. The optimum condition of removal as specified by RSM is – initial concentration of fluoride: 30 mg/L, pH: 4.5, AD: 3.5 g/L and temperature: 30 °C. FESEM-EDX, FTIR and BET isotherm studies are done to characterize raw and fluoride treated biomass. Lagergren first order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model, are found to analyze best kinetic and equilibrium data, respectively. Adsorption capacity of DBM has been found to be 34.36 mg/g. The kinetics of fluoride removal have been well described by COMSOL Multiphysics.
