Extremely high volumes of salty wastewater are produced by textile manufacturers daily. Therefore, brine recycling from the wastewater should be regarded as a crucial issue within the textile industry. Ozonation was used in this two-part study as a purification method for industrial textile wastewater polluted by low-molecular-weight salts (LMWS). Part 1 revealed the accumulation of ozonation by-products in a multi-recycling system. The objective of Part 2 was the scaling-up of the process and the investigation of the occurrence of by-products. It was found that ozonation works well in an alkaline reaction medium, which was characteristic of the wastewater from a dye house; an almost complete color removal was achieved within 30 min of treatment. The brine that was produced from the wastewater treated by ozonation in a 20 L bubble column reactor was recycled successfully. Dyeing of cotton with five types of reactive dyes in various shades resulted in very good values of DECMC, which is the normative color matching parameter, and were between 0.15 and 1.2. The color fastness obtained for upcycled fabrics were satisfactory, and not worse than standard values. Although accumulation of the side products was detected in Part 1, the fabric discharges produced in the scaled-up process were free from carcinogenic amines and heavy metals. The study indicated that ozonation can be applied in the industry as a method for textile wastewater recycling.

Increased production in the textile industry has the potential to result in high dye waste water. Various conventional methods to handle with textile waste treatment have been done, but still considered not yet or less effective. The AOP technology (Advanced Oxidation Processes) applied in this research is a rapid degradation technology in textile wastes with advanced oxidation process through the formation of hydroxyl radical (OH) which is considered to optimize the degradation process of textile dye waste. This study aims to evaluate the performance of ozonation methods and AOP (O3/UV/H2O2) in dye degradation of textile wastewater containing remazol blue compounds. Both configuration methods used are optimized in several parameters such as waste flow rate, ozone voltage and pH to obtain maximum remazol blue degradation. From this study, the higher percentage to remazol blue degradation is 99.99%, which is achieved by AOP method, with double air injection air flow rate of 10 L/min and 0.25 L/min liquid flow rate.

Abstract This study presents an asymptotic stability analysis of a model of a bioreactor converting carbon monoxide (CO) gas into ethanol through a C. autoethanogenum biocatalyst. The configuration is a bubble column reactor with co-current gas-liquid flows where gas feed is introduced by a gas distributor placed at the bottom of the column. A pure culture of C. autoethanogenum is subsequently injected at the bottom of the column; therein, cells are dispersed in the liquid and consume the dissolved gas and release by-products such as ethanol and acetic acid. Cellular growth and byproduct secretion are affected by spatially varying dissolved gas concentrations due to advection-diffusion mass transports which are induced by the effect of the injection pressure and gravitational force. The model accounts for four species representing the biomass, the CO substrate in the liquid phase, and two by-products - ethanol and acetic acid. Substrate dynamics is described by an advection-diffusion equation. We investigate the asymptotic stability of the biomass dynamics that is a requirement for the system’s controllability, i.e. for the possibility to steer a dynamical system from an arbitrary initial state to an arbitrary final state using a set of controls. The concept of stability of the controls is extremely relevant to controllability since almost every workable control system is designed to be stable. If a control system is not stable, it is usually of no use in practice in industrial processes. In the case of a bioreactor, the control is the biomass and controllability is the possibility of modulating through this control the ethanol production. We present a test for asymptotic stability, based on the analysis of the properties of the dynamic function defining its role as storage function.

C.I. Reactive Black 5 (RB5) is the most commonly used dye in the textile industry. Ozone is a strong oxidan that can decompose many barely degradable pollutants, including dyes. Although there are many literature reports devoted to the treatment of textile wastewater and dye solutions by ozone, the ozonation mechanism and modeling of the kinetics is still not well covered. In this work a kinetic model of the process of RB5 decolourisation by ozone has been proposed and validated on the basis of experimental data. The experiments were carried out in a liquid-liquid system to avoid mass transfer limitation. A model was established for acid reaction medium. The main RB5 reaction was direct oxidation of the dye with molecular ozone. The self-decomposition of ozone in liquid phase was taken into account and described by an empirical equation. The reaction rate constants of RB5 with ozone were estimated from the experimental data in the range of (1.88 ± 0.08) × 104 – (2.53 ± 0.10) × 105 M-1s-1 (invariant with initial dye concentration). An empirical equation k2′ = 1.06 × 108(COH−)0.31 was built for the constant to make it dependent on the pH value. A solution of the non-linear inverse problem allowed for identification of the kinetic constants on the basis of the experimental data obtained. The model gave a good match between the prediction and experimental data for pH between 1.88 and 4.0.

In recent years, there have been increases in contamination of water supplies, due to the continuous discharge of wastewater from chemical and pharmaceutical industries, without them being properly treated to remove the refractory organic compound they may contain. These contaminants endanger the quality of surface and groundwater, the ecosystems, and the health of the world´s population. In view of these problems, the present work examined the effectiveness of combining ozone and ozone-UV processes with a biological treatment to increase biodegradability and reduce toxicity levels of the chlorophenolic compound, 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP) and its oxidative intermediates. A comparative study was carried out in a glass bubble column reactor equipped with a fine-pore glass diffuser with a volumetric mass transfer kLa of 1.58 min-1. Each experiment was done using a 1.5 L volume of 2,5-DCP (3.07 mM) aqueous solution of distilled water and municipal wastewater, at pH 7 with an applied ozone dose of 22 mg min-1 and an oxygen-ozone flow rate of 0.7 L min-1. Additionally, a low mercury UV lamp with wavelength of 254 nm was used during ozone-UV treatments. The results obtained, showed that 2,5-DCP was completed degraded with an ozone dose of approximately 1.2 g h-1 in both solutions, treated with ozone and ozone-UV processes. The best results were obtained with the ozone-UV processes after 60 min of oxidation, showing that the addition of photolysis treatment (UV lamp intensity = 4 mW cm-2) to ozone, accelerated COD removal (75%), mineralization (53%) and biodegradability (BOD5/COD) of 2,5-DCP from 0.2 to 0.85 in the wastewater. The toxicity of 2,5-DCP and its oxidation by-products were monitored at different time intervals using activated sludge respiration inhibition tests. The test analyses showed that ozone and ozone-UV treatments were effective in reducing the toxicity of 2,5-DCP and its by-products, which were less toxic to the microorganisms in activated sludge (IC25 = 135 mg/L), than the untreated 2,5-DCP solutions (EC50= 50 mg/L). The results achieved in this work, showed that the presence of organic and inorganic matters in the wastewater, had a positive effect on the oxidation of 2,5-DCP, which support the potential use of ozone and ozone-UV processes for the treatment of effluent with high concentration of chlorophenols.

Naturally, textile waste and its complexity will grow significantly in tandem with the increasingly diverse production of the textile industry. In Indonesia, one of the leading textile industry is batik industry. These textile dye compounds as well as their corresponding phenolic compounds in batik waste are considered and treated as well as can cause acute toxicity and mutagenic effects for aquatic ecosystems. Ozone is an effective wastewater treatment technique by using ozone formation which can optimize the degradation process of batik wastewater. This study aims to test the ability of ozonation techniques in the process of removal remazol blue (RB-19) batik dyes or phenolic compounds (phenol and 4-chlorophenol) in bubble column reactor under basic condition (pH about 10). From experiment result, it was found that in 60-minutes degradation process with ozonation technique for RB-19 dye reached 99.70% and 4-chlorophenol reached 62.79%. The optimum condition of the treatment process was obtained by using air flow rate 10 L/min for RB-19 dye and 12 L/min for 4-chlorophenol, using a multi ozone injection system, and flow rate of wastewater 250 mL/min.

The rate of ammonia production by the <u>chemical </u>oxidation of iron, N<sub>2</sub>(from air or as pure nitrogen) and water is studied as a function of (1) iron particle size, (2) iron concentration, (3) temperature, (4) pressureand (5) concentration of the alkaline reaction medium. The reaction meduium consists of an aqueous solution of equal molal concentrations of NaOH and KOH (Na<sub>0.5</sub>K<sub>0.5</sub>OH). We had previously reported on the <u>chemical </u>reaction of iron and nitrogen in alkaline medium to ammonia as an intermediate step in the <u>electrochemical </u>synthesis of ammonia by a nano-sized iron oxide electrocatlyst. Here, the intermediate <u>chemical </u>reaction step is exclusively explored. The ammonia production rate increases with temperature (from 20 to 250°C), pressure (from 1 atm to 15 atm of air or N<sub>2</sub>), and exhibits a maximum rate at an electrolyte concentration of 8 molal Na<sub>0,5</sub>K<sub>0,5</sub>OH in a sealed N<sub>2</sub>reactor. 1-3 µm particle size Fe drive the highest observed ammonia production reaction rate. The Fe mass normalized rate of ammonia production increases with decreasing added mass of the Fe reactant reaching a maximum observed rate of 2.2x10<sup>-4</sup>mole of NH<sub>3</sub>h<sup>-1</sup>g<sup>-1</sup>for the reaction of 0.1 g of 1-3 µm Fe in 200°C 8 molal Na<sub>0.5</sub>K<sub>0.5</sub>OH at 15 atm. Under these conditions 5.1 wt% of the iron reacts to form NH<sub>3</sub>via the reaction N<sub>2</sub>+ 2Fe + 3H<sub>2</sub>O ®2NH<sub>3</sub>+ Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.
