Abstract: The findings of the study showed that at optimum conditions of the operating parameters i.e., current density = 14.17 mA/cm2 , t = 102 min, and pH = 6.25, 63.41% of COD removal, 90.93% of dye removal and 0.0035 kWh/kg of energy consumption, were observed. Kinetic studies showed that EC based treatment of STW followed first order kinetics and the kinetic constants at 30°C for each response parameter i.e., % COD removal and % dye removal were 0.0205 min-1 and 0.0097 min-1 , respectively. Similarly, at 50°C the kinetic constants for % COD removal and % dye removal were 0.037 min-1 and 0.011 min-1 , respectively. Further, it was also observed that the amount of Al in the treated STW, sludge and scum was observed to be 25.16 mg/l, 0.50778g and 0.06006 g, respectively. Keywords: Waste water, Response Surface plots and optimization

Activated charcoal derived from Moringa oleifera, Manihot esculanta, Carica papaya are efficient for waste water treatment and dye removal. Adsorption techniques are used to remove the non-bio degradable pollutants. The produced carbon was exemplified using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Fourier Infrared spectroscopy. The discoloration rate was higher at an optimum pH of 5 for all three samples and at an adsorbent dosage of 0.02g/100ml of effluent and the equilibrium was obtained in 10 minutes. Thus, the adsorbents have the prospective for realistic applications. Adsorption isotherms was evaluated by the Freundlich, Langmuir isotherms and higher linear attenuation coefficients showed that the experimental data shows a better fit to Freundlich model (R2 = 0.9987) for Manihot esculenta, Langmuir model for Carica papaya and Moringa oleifera (R2 = 0.9931) (R2 = 0.9959). Kinetic studies were also executed for all the adsorbents and for Manihot esculenta data en suite well to pseudo-second order model (R2 = 0.9966), for Carica papaya (R2 = 0.9986) and for Moringa oleifera investigational data en suite well with Pseudo-first order (R2 = 0.9916) respectively.

Abstract: Water pollution poses serious threats to both the environment and the organisms that depend on their environment for survival. Due to the toxicity from dyes in textile wastewater, there is a dire need for the development of innovative and efficient treatment technologies. In this study treatability studies, using a electrochemical treatment (ECT) method followed by activated carbon (AC) based adsorption. ECT method was studied extensively for the treatment of reactive black dye. Moreover, to understand the practical applicability of ECTs, the findings were optimized for treatment of synthetic textile wastewater (STW).

Waste water from the textile industry is one of the major sources of contamination causing serious health problems. In textile waste water, dyes are the main pollutant. In this research work textile waste water was treated with various organic acid-activated clays to remove the dyes. Pink Azo dye was selected as a component to remove from waste water. Adsorbent selected was bentonite clay and was activated by acids such as phosphoric, acetic, oxalic, and citric acids. Adsorbent characteristics have been analyzed through infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) while the removal of dye at various temperatures has been analyzed through Ultraviolet (UV) analysis. It was observed that the bentonite clay-treated with phosphoric acid had relatively maximum capacity to remove the dye while the clay treated with oxalic acid got minimum capacity to remove the dye from same waste water.

Abstract Catalytic wet oxidation of high concentration pharmaceutical wastewater with Fe3+ as catalyst was carried out in a batch reactor. Results showed that the degradation of pharmaceutical wastewater was enhanced significantly by Fe3+. The effects of reaction parameters, such as the catalyst dose, reaction temperature, time, and initial oxygen pressure, were discussed. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal increased with the increases of catalyst dose, temperature, time and oxygen supply. With the initial COD 34,000–35,000 mg/L, approximately 70% COD removal can be achieved under the conditions of catalyst 1.0 g and oxygen pressure 1.0 MPa at 250 °C after 60 min. The results of kinetic studies showed that two reaction steps existed in this oxidation process, which followed an apparent first-order rate law. This process provides an effective approach for the pretreatment of high concentration pharmaceutical wastewater.
