Positive Effect

The removal efficiency of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and its environmental hormone treated by biofilm reactor has been investigated. Besides, the the kinetic model of the degradation of DBP and its degradation products in the reactor have been discussed. The results indicate that the biofilm reactor had a positive effect on the removal of DBP and was able to significantly reduce the environmental hormone in DBP influent. The activity of β-galactosidase dropped from 13.55 millers to 3.3 millers and the removal efficiency of DBP reached 98.5% at water temperature 20°C and HRT (Hydraulic Retention Time) of 4 hours. The metabolic intermediate of DBP in the reactor mainly consisted of dibutyl phthalate and phthalic acid. The kinetic models of the degradation of DBP can be expressed by Lawrence-McCarty equation.

AbstractHigh NO3− and Ni(II) concentrations in mining wastewater pose a risk to public health. In this study, the NO3− and Ni(II) removal process was performed using a novel PDA@EDTA@Fe3O4 immobilization carrier. The effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT; 6, 8, and 10 h), along with Fe(II) (10, 15, and 20 mg/L) and Ni(II) (10, 20, and 30 mg/L) influent concentrations on the simultaneous removal of NO3− and Ni(II) were investigated in immobilized biofilm reactors. Results showed that the highest NO3− removal efficiency (97.78%) and Ni(II) removal efficiency (91.21%) were obtained in the immobilized biofilm reactor with PDA@EDTA@Fe3O4 under the conditions of 10 h HRT, influent Fe(II) concentrations of 20 mg/L and Ni(II) concentrations of 10 mg/L. High-throughput sequencing results confirmed that Cupriavidus sp.CC1 plays a major role in the functioning of the immobilized reactor. This process provides the potential for effective treatment of NO3− and Ni(II) polluted water.

The treatment process of wastewater contains organic pollutant which used in Indonesia especially in Jakarta is generaly activated sludge process. The problem is its treated water quality which frequently does not yet fulfilled to effluent standard of wastewater. Some affecting factors  are hydraulic retention time (HRT) too short, the fluctuation of wastewater flow rate, unfavorable function of aeration process and also which do not less important is operational mistake caused by insufficient knowledge of operator. To overcome the mentioned problems it is needed technological innovation to increase efficiency of wastewater treatment process especially activated sludge process. Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology is one of the  effective alternative for treating wastewater containing organic pollutants. In principle, MBBR is a modification of the activated sludge process is enhanced by adding the media into the aeration tank.This paper describes the study of domestic waste water treatment  using MBBR process which is filled with bioball plastic media which has specific surface 210 m2/m3 as much as 20 % of the volume of the aeration tank for attaching microorganism to increase efficiency and  keep stability of process.Result of the study shows that within 12 hours, 8 hours, 6 hours and 4 hours of hydraulic retention time (HRT) in aeration tank and sludge circulation ratio 0f R = 1.0 Q, the removal efficiency of ammonia were 94.05 %, 93.42 %, 89 %, and 79.6 % respectively. In ammonia loading 0.106 – 0.302 kg/m3.day, the removal efficiency of ammonia were 95.54 – 83.01 %. The greater ammonia loading,  removal efficiency of  ammonia  is getting smaller. Optimal residence time is 6 hours with ammonia removal efficiency reached 89 %, and the average concentration of ammonia in the effluent of 8.3 mg per litre.  Keyword : Domestic wastewater, ammonia, bioball, MBBR.

The results of tracer experiments performed with anthers of Tulipa cv. Apeldoorn have already shown that a high level of incorporation into the sporopollenin fraction was achieved, when [14C]phenylalanine was applicated as a precursor. In order to investigate whether the substantial incorporation of [14C]phenylalanine is a unique phenomenon restricted to Tulipa, tracer experiments were carried out on anthers of Cucurbita maxima. The sporopollenin fraction was isolated and purified by a gentle method including extractions with various solvents, incubations with hydrolysing enzymes and fractionated saponifications. The remaining, as well as the released radioactivity, was determined after each purification step. After the application of [U-14C]phenylalanine, a substantial incorporation into the sporopollenin fraction was determined. The values were clearly higher than those obtained with [1-14C]glucose or those from corresponding experiments on Tulipa anthers. After potash fusion of sporopollenin fractions labeled via [U-14C]phenylalanine, p-hydroxybenzoic acid was shown to be the main com ponent among the ether soluble acids; moreover it showed the highest level of radioactivity. No radioactivity was detected in the degradation products oxalic acid, benzoic acid, phthalic acid and terephthalic acid or octanedioic acid- and decanedioic acid-dimethylester.

Food Processing Wastewater

Biofilm (or attached growth) reactors can be effectively used to treat organic wastewater from various industries such as food processing industry. They have a number of advantages including high organic loading rates (OLRs) and improved operational stability. A flexible fibre biofim reactor (FFBR) has been developed for efficient and cost effective treatment of food processing wastewater. In the process, simple flexible fibre packing with a very high specific surface area is used as support for microorganisms. The COD removal efficiencies for a range of OLRs have been studied. The FFBR can support an increasingly high OLR, but with a corresponding decrease in the COD removal efficiency. Therefore, a two-stage FFBR was developed to increase the treatment efficiency for systems with high OLRs. Experimental results indicated that a high overall COD removal efficiency could be achieved. At an influent COD of about 2700 mg/L and an OLR of 7.7 kgCOD/m3d, COD removal efficiencies of 76% and 82% were achieved in the first and the second stage of the reactor, respectively. The overall COD removal efficiency was 96%. Therefore, even for wastewater samples with high organic strength, high quality treated effluents could be readily achieved by the use of multiple stage FFBRs.

Easy Operation

In general, wastewater treatment by physical, chemical and biological methods are only focused on TSS, BOD and COD removals that the effluent still contains anion pollutant as NO2- and S2-. Electrochemical technology is a proper method for those pollutants treatment due to its fast process, easy operation and minimum amount of sludge. Electrocatalytic reactor with 8 L capacity using Ti/RuIrO2 cylinder as anode and Fe plate as cathode was arranged and applied to treat anion pollutants. Hydraulic retention time (30, 60, 90 and 120 min), salt concentration (250, 500 and 750 mg/L) and voltage (4, 5, and 6 V) were chosen as operation variables and NO2- and S2- concentrations as parameter indicators. Nitrite removal efficiency reached 75 and 99.7% after 60 and 120 min of electrolysis, respectively, while sulfide could obtain higher efficiency, i.e., 97 and 99.9% after 60 and 90 min, respectively, at operation variables of potential of 5 V and salt of 500 mg/L. Removal process is dominated by indirect oxidation mechanism by HClO/ClO- oxidators generated at anode surface as intermediate products. The lifespan of electrode and electric consumption are two main factors of operation cost. Electric consumed was 0.452 kWh per 1 g nitrite removed.

Introduction: Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR) is a toxin with harmful effects on the liver, kidney, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. So, effective removal of MC-LR from water resources is of great importance. The aim of this study was to remove microcystin-LR (MC-LR) from aqueous solution by Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). Materials and Methods: In the present study, TiO2, as a semiconductor, was used for photodegradation of MC-LR under ultraviolet light (UV). The Response Surface Methodology was applied to investigate the effects of operating variables such as pH (A), contact time (B), and catalyst dose (B) on the removal of MC-LR. The MC-LR concentration was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: The results showed that single variables such as A, B, and C had significant effects on MC-LR removal (pvalue < 0.05). In other words, increase of the contact time and catalyst dose had a positive effect on enhancing the removal efficiency of MC-LR, but the effect of pH was negative. The analysis of variance showed that BC, A2, and C2 variables had a significant effect on the MC-LR removal (pvalue < 0.05). Finally, the maximum removal efficiency of MC-LR was 95.1%, which occurred at pH = 5, contact time = 30 minutes, and catalyst dose = 1 g/l. Conclusion: According to the findings, TiO2, as a photocatalyst, had an appropriate effect on degradation of the MC-LR.
