Macadamia shell contains a carbon content (47 - 49%), in addition, the shell contains 46.52% Oxidation, Hidro 6.10%, Nitrogen 0.36% and relatively low ash content of only 0.22%, this indicates the grain Macadamia has the potential to become activated carbon thanks to the above characteristics. This study was conducted to modify activated carbon by oxidizing agents to change the surface structure of activated carbon from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, non-polarizing to polarization, increasing the amount of adsorption simultaneously creating more durable links between dyes and activated carbon. Study of Methylene Blue wastewater treatment with coal from Maccadamia shell modified with H2O2 agent at H2O2 ratio : coal = 10:1. Research results show that Methylene Blue adsorption capacity reaches 1g /266,26mg Methylene Blue at optimal conditions corresponding to 25% concentration and 48 hours of soaking time. Analysis of infrared spectra showed that coal is modified by H2O2 agent with functional groups –OH, Carboxylic functional group C=O, group C-H in NH3, C–N group in Amine aliphatic or in Alcohol or Phenol and C–O bonding. Modified coal by H2O2 oxidation agent has Methylene Blue color treatment efficiency of 93.26%, corresponding to the original color of 474.67 Pt - Co at the respective optimal conditions pH = 8.5, dose of 1 g/L and treatment time of 60 minutes. Research results are similar to other research results and are applicable to color wastewater treatment.

This study was performed to evaluate the efficiency of tapioca processing wastewater treatment using aerobic biofilter with variety of biofilter media: coir, coal, PVC plastic and Bio - Ball BB15 plastic. Research results in the lab demonstrated all four aerobic biofilter models processed can treated completely N and COD which COD reached 90-98% and N reached 61-92%, respectively, at the organic loading rates in range of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kgCOD/m3.day. The results identified coir filter was the best in four researched materials with removal COD and specific substract utilization rate can reach 98%, and 0.6 kg COD/kgVSS.day. Research results open the new prospects for the application of the cheap materials, available for wastewater treatment.

Abstract A new Cu(II) complex, [Cu2(1,3-BMIB)(OBA)2] n (1) (1,3-BMIB = 1,3-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene, H2OBA = 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid)) was hydrothermally synthesized and has been structurally characterized. Complex 1 possesses a 3D 2-fold interpenetrating framework based on [Cu(OBA)] n layers with a Schläfli symbol {412.63}. Complex 1 displays excellent photocatalytic properties in the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB).

It can be seen that the objects of wastewater that need to be treated are quite diverse in types and complex in terms of reaction mechanisms. The methods mainly focus on the treatment of toxic organic compounds, especially phenols or plant protection agents in industrial wastewater, paper industry, food production, textile industry, printing industry... The activation of H2O2 and O2 by complexes of transitional metal ions and suitable ligands creates oxidizing agents and ecologically healthy products. The intermediate substances arising in the activation process such as free radicals OH., O2., HO2., ... can oxidize many compounds, especially the ability to attack the aroma of organic pollutants. In this paper, the results of research on treating organic pollution in restaurant wastewater with H2O2 are presented as a catalyst of complexes between Mn2+ ions and EDTA. The conditions including pH, EDTA/Mn2+, the concentration of H2O2, Mn2+ were investigated to obtain the optimum conditions for improving COD treatment efficiency. This work proposes a method based on formation of the Mn(II)-EDTA complex,  b=1; with the optimal conditions of other factors as following [H2O2]0 = 0,75.10-3 mol/L; [Mn(EDTA)]2- = 33,33 mol/L, pH=10.5; t = 15 minutes. The initial COD of 1025 mg/L decreased to 135 mg/L after the proposed procedure.  The results provide solutions of homogeneous complex catalysts for domestic/restaurant and industrial wastewater treatment at room temperature and atmosphere.

The aim of this study is to investigate the contaminant removal efficiency in wastewater when disposed by carbon fiber ecological grass. The paper analyzed the TN, TP, CODMn, NH4+-N and SS removal efficiency when used different dosage of carbon fiber ecological grass. The research results indicated that the contaminant removal efficiency at pH=8 is higher than pH=6, 7 and 9. When DO between 5.6 and 8, the TN, TP and NH4+-N removal efficiency has a highest level, the removal efficiency is 83.91%, 68.16% and 83.3% respectively. When DO between 8.1 and 10.7, the CODMn removal efficiency has a highest level, the removal efficiency is 57.93%. The stirring rate is important to the contaminant adsorption and removal. Consequently, selecting carbon fiber ecological grass in wastewater treatment is a good choice.
