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 textile industry wastewater contains the majority of different dyes which are quite toxic and should be removed before disposal. They are often highly resistant for biodegradation and hence are difficult to be treated. The application of adsorbents of natural origin, especially industrial waste, is one of the most attractive solutions for wastewater treatments due to its high socio-economic advantages. In this study, the adsorption capacity of acid activiated red mud for some conventional dyes such as Reactive Red 195 and Direct Yellow 132 was investigated. In this acid activation process part of aluminum oxide, iron oxide on red mud will be dissolved into solution, thereby increasing the specific surface area of the remaining solid phase (from 55 m2/g to 92 m2/g). The amount of red mud dissolved in the solution is about 30% weight. Solid residue is used in this adsorption study. The solution obtained after activation which includes iron sulfate salts, aluminum sulfate used as a coagulant for wastewater treatment. The results showed that, for both dyes, pH 5 is most suitable for the adsorption processes. The adsorption kinetic was based on the pseudo second-order kinetic equation. The rate constants of the second-order model for adsorption of DY132, RR195 on RMA in a solution with a concentration of 100 mg·l-1, pH = 5 are 1.48 and 1.95·10-2 g/(mg·min), respectively, and the equilibrium adsorption capacities are 42.74 and 54.95 mg·g-1, respectively. The adsorption data were well matched to Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 48.54 and 84.31 (mg·g-1) for Reactive Red 195 and Direct Yellow 132, respectively.

Abstract Quick and accurate estimation of organic pollution load such as COD in wastewater is very important for the implementation of cleaner production, especially in pulp and paper industry. In order to find the contribution of pollution load of aromatic organics, several non-aromatic and aromatic organics were studied. Results indicated that there was a good linear correlation between theoretical COD (ThOD) and composite parameters of ln(C + H)/O, which is calculated from the amount of C, H and O atoms in the molecular formula. From the regression line equation of ThOD vs ln(C + H)/O, it is found that the gradient of the aromatic ring regression line is lower than that of other acyclic compounds, which may be ascribed to aromatics which were hard to oxidize in measurements of COD. An actual COD well matched to the ThOD estimated for common aromatics with phenolic and non-phenolic structures often appeared for wastewater from pulp and paper industry, with a relative error rate of ± 5 %. Ideal recovery rates of these, 95 % to 105 %, were achieved. This work provides an effective method for quick and accurate estimation for pollution load contributions, which is important for contamination control and progress in industry.

Nitrobenzene(NB) is a highly toxic and resistant to degradation organic pollutant which has been widely distributed in industrial wastewater. Much more attentions on the degradation of NB have been attracted to achieve the effectively removal of organic pollutant. Based on the hydrogen production from aqueous-phase reforming (APR) of oxygenated hydrocarbons reported by Dumesic, a novel method for the catalytic degradation of NB by APR reaction in wastewater has been proposed in this study. The effects of reaction conditions, such as temperature, the initial concentration of NB were investigated over Pd/C catalyst. The experimental results indicated that the degradation degree of NB could reach 100% (NB could be degraded completely) under optimal reaction conditions: 0.75 g 5% Pd/C, 2000 mg/L NB, T = 493 K, P = 3 MPa, t = 6 h under the atmosphere of Ar with a stirring speed of 950 r/min. The deactivation of Pd/C catalyst had not been observed after being reused for 12 recycles (the degradation degree of NB was more than 97%).

Industrial wastewater minimization can be conducted using four main strategies: (i) reuse; (ii) regeneration-reuse; (iii) regeneration-recycling; and (iv) process changes. This study is concerned with (i) and (ii) to investigate the most suitable approach to wastewater minimization for an old textile industry plant. A systematic water networks design using water pinch analysis (WPA) was developed to minimize the water usage and wastewater generation for the textile plant. COD was chosen as the main parameter. An integrated design method has been applied, which brings the engineering insight using WPA that can determine the minimum flowrate of the water usage and then minimize the water consumption and wastewater generation as well. The overall result of this study shows that WPA has been effectively applied using both reuse and regeneration-reuse strategies for the old textile industry plant, and reduced the operating cost by 16% and 50% respectively.

As the effluent quality standards for industrial wastewater are becoming more stringent, it is important for the industry to improve their wastewater treatment efficiency. The research about potential of cellulase application in the activated sludge process has been done. Theoritically, the addition of cellulase was required to support the activity of microorganism on the activated sludge. Since cellulose is the major organic pollutant component in the wastewater, it was expected that cellulase addition could improve the performance of activated sludge process. The experiments were conducted in a continuous process and consisted of two treatments which were with and without activated sludge at about 2400 mg MLVSS/L. The variations in each treatment were the enzyme dosages of 0; 0.2; 0.5; and 0.7 unit/g COD, and the residence time of 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours. The experiment result showed that the addition of cellulase can increase COD and BOD reduction compared to the treatment without enzymes. The highest COD reduction increment was 7.9% at the enzyme dosage of 0.2 unit/g COD and the residence time of 4 hours, while the highest BOD reduction increment was 14.6% at the same enzyme dosage and residence time. In conclusion, celullase application can be combined with the activated sludge process which will be effective in the high load organic wastewater. ABSTRAKDengan semakin ketatnya baku mutu air limbah, peningkatan efisiensi dalam pengolahan limbah menjadi sangat penting bagi industri. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui potensi selulase dan pengaruh laju pembebanan pada efektifitas pengolahan air limbah kertas sistem lumpur aktif. Secara teori, penambahan selulase diperlukan untuk membantu aktivitas mikroorganisme lumpur aktif. Dengan adanya kandungan selulosa sebagai komponen utama pencemar organik dalam air limbah, penambahan selulase diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kinerja proses lumpur aktif. Percobaan dilakukan dengan proses kontinyu yang terdiri dari dua perlakuan, yaitu tanpa dan dengan lumpur aktif pada MLVSS sekitar 2400 mg/L. Variasi pada setiap perlakuan berupa variasi dosis selulase (0; 0,2; 0,5; dan 0,7 unit/g COD) dan variasi laju pembebanan dengan mengatur waktu tinggal 4, 8, 12, dan 24 jam. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan lumpur aktif dengan penambahan selulase dapat menghasilkan peningkatan reduksi COD dan BOD bila dibandingkan perlakuan tanpa menggunakan selulase. Peningkatan reduksi COD tertinggi mencapai 7,9% dengan perlakuan selulase dosis 0,2 unit/g COD dan waktu tinggal 4 jam, sedangkan peningkatan reduksi BOD tertinggi mencapai 14,6%. Perlakuan selulase dapat dikombinasikan dengan proses lumpur aktif yang berjalan efektif pada waktu tinggal yang lebih singkat atau pada beban tinggi.Kata kunci: selulase, lumpur aktif, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand

Abstract Synthetic dyes, particularly reactive and acid dyes, are commonly used in the textile industry because of their advantages as excellent color fastness and brightness. Also, surfactants are used for an increment of coloring success in the textile industry. One of the major problems concerning textile wastewater is the treatment of the effluents containing both dyes and surfactants. Biological treatment systems are recommended as useful, economic and eco-friendly methods for treatment of industrial wastewater. The purpose of this study was to investigate the binary removal of a textile dye and a surfactant by growing Aspergillus versicolor culture in molasses medium. The effect of dye and surfactant concentration on the removal of dye and surfactant was determined. This study resulted that 100% of the surfactant and dye molecules removed together with the formation of a dye-surfactant complex by fungus. It is concluded that binary removal systems are very efficient for industrial wastewater treatment.

AbstractThere is need to rapidly measure biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) to estimate organic pollution in wastewater. Biosensors are able to estimate BOD values within 5–30 minutes, but they have some limitations that can be overcome with biosensor-array. This work used sensor-array, which consists of 8 × 3 electrodes. The working electrode was inner Pt circle electrode, counter electrode was a Pt band electrode and the reference electrode was a silver wire. The potentiostat was used to record cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The pumping speed was set at 1.5 cm3 min−1 or higher, to avoid the interference. Next, sensor-array was tested to measure different oxygen amounts and calibrated accordingly. Lastly, Pseudomonas putida membranes were calibrated and used to estimate BOD value. The calibration gave linear range up to 85 mg L−1 of BOD and sensitivity from 0.0018 to 0.0068. Real industrial wastewater, from lignocellulosic bioethanol production, was used to test the biosensor-array. It underestimated BOD values from 8 to 37 %. This biosensor-array allows to measure BOD value in less than 15 minutes.

Forward osmosis (FO) is a membrane technology that uses the osmotic pressure difference to treat two fluids at a time giving the opportunity for an energy-efficient water and wastewater treatment. Various applications are possible; one of them is the application in industrial water management. In this review paper, the basic principle of FO is explained and the state-of-the-art regarding FO application in manufacturing industries is described. Examples of FO application were found for food and beverage industry, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, coal processing, micro algae cultivation, textile industry, pulp and paper industry, electronic industry, and car manufacturing. FO publications were also found about heavy metal elimination and cooling water treatment. However, so far FO was applied in lab-scale experiments only. The up-scaling on pilot- or full-scale will be the essential next step. Long-term fouling behavior, membrane cleaning methods, and operation procedures are essential points that need to be further investigated. Moreover, energetic and economic evaluations need to be performed before full-scale FO can be implemented in industries.
