Research paper thumbnail of Investigation Of Aerobic Degradation Of Industrial Wastewater Containing High Organic Matter: Kinetic Study

European Scientific Journal, ESJ, May 10, 2016

Two experimental runs were carried out at a ratio of substrate-tomicroorganisms concentration S o /X o equal to 0,5 and 3,5 g COD /g MLVSS while equal to 1 ratio of synthetic wastewater to IW. Chemical oxygen demand, pH, and alkalinity were determined during the experiments. An increase in the influent substrate concentration not caused a decrease in COD removals at similar times of working. Since the inoculum was previously acclimatized to COD concentration, a substrate (mixture of the synthetic and industrial wastewater) inhibition at the higher concentrations of COD most probably was absent. It was found that a first-order kinetics adequately described the variation of COD removal with time. The values of the firstorder reaction constants were found to be 0,3083 and 0,2038 d-1 for Runs 1-2, respectively.

By use of microorganisms, hydrogen can effectively be obtained from wood and marine biomass according to purposes. Biomass (i.e., organic matter) such as marine macro algae can be degraded biologically. The use of seaweeds as energy crops have certain advantages: the need for large land areas (which may not be available) is avoided; marine crop yields are expected to be considerably higher than land crop yields although experience from large-scale cultivation is lacking; seaweeds do not contain lignin, which is almost non-degradable under anaerobic conditions; and many valuable extracts, such as alginate, can be extracted from the waste, which is important to environmental protection. Recent research has shown that the red algae Gelidium amansii and the brown algae Laminaria japonica are both potential biomass sources for biohydrogen production through anaerobic fermentation. The objective of this review article is to give an overview of marine algae as a prospective source for biohydrogen production.

The activated adsorbent was characterized by the points of zero charge, FTIR, N 2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, and SEM-EDX analyses. According to the removal results, the highest efficiency of the dye adsorption was reached at 180min. MR GRL removal of 99.35% was achieved using APSD under the optimum conditions (pH=5.7–6.0, temperature=298 K, dye concentration= 250mg/L, and adsorbent dosage=8 g/L). The Langmuir isotherm represents the best explanation model for the experimental data, which has the highest adsorption capacity of 312.5mg/g at 318 K. The compatibility of adsorption with the Langmuir isotherm showed that adsorption was reversible and physical. The other results obtained confirmed this situation. The kinetic research demonstrated that the sorption process was realized in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters revealed that the MR GRL adsorption occurred spontaneously and was exothermic. The findings of the present research confirm that acid-activated pine sawdust may be utilized to remove MR GRL dye from aqueous solutions as a low-cost and efficient adsorbent.

The structure and characteristics of the pistachio shell were determined by pHpzc, FTIR spectroscopy, BET surface area and SEM-EDX analysis. A batch system was used to investigate the effects of dye concentration, pH, quantity and particle size of adsorbent, reaction duration, temperature and ion strength on dye removal performance were investigated. The error analysis methods were employed to get adsorption kinetics and the best-fitting isotherm models for adsorption of BB 41 dye. The results of modeling studies proved that Langmuir isotherms and pseudo-second-order kinetics the best represented adsorption kinetics and isotherm data. Present findings revealed that BB 41 removal was a feasible, spontaneous and endothermic process. Decreasing removal (%) rates were with increasing NaCl and SDS concentrations. After three cycles, regeneration efficiency was calculated as 65.39%. Continuous mode of operation was used for optimization of process parameters such as initial pollutant concentration, effluent flow rate and bed height. In continuous system, maximum adsorption capacity was identified as 41.77 mg/g. The Adams-Bohart, Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were used to find of the best fitting model for experimental data of continuous mode of operation. Pistachio shell had yielded quite high adsorption of dye, thus it was also conduced that pistachio shell could effectively and reliably be utilized in treatment of wastewater effluents of textile industry containing Basic blue 41 textile dye.

Maximum removal of 93.04% was obtained for pistachio shell activated with 10 N H 2 SO 4. The physicochemical properties of activated pistachio shell were characterized by pH pzc , FTIR, BET, and SEM-EDX analysis. The results showed that the AV 17 adsorption capacity was positively correlated to the BET surface area. The best fit of kinetic data to pseudo-second-order kinetic was determined. The adsorption follows both the Langmuir and Temkin isotherms. The Langmuir adsorption capacity was determined to be 26.455 mg/g at the initial dye concentration of 160 mg/L. The endothermic nature of adsorption was confirmed by the acquired thermodynamic data. Maximum desorption of 97.33% was achieved in 0.2 M NaOH for AAPS in the first cycle. This is very important for the economic use of the adsorbent. The findings demonstrate that activated pistachio shell may be a good alternative for color removal from industrial effluents.

The activated adsorbent was characterized by the points of zero charge, FTIR, N 2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, and SEM-EDX analyses. According to the removal results, the highest efficiency of the dye adsorption was reached at 180min. MR GRL removal of 99.35% was achieved using APSD under the optimum conditions (pH=5.7–6.0, temperature=298 K, dye concentration= 250mg/L, and adsorbent dosage=8 g/L). The Langmuir isotherm represents the best explanation model for the experimental data, which has the highest adsorption capacity of 312.5mg/g at 318 K. The compatibility of adsorption with the Langmuir isotherm showed that adsorption was reversible and physical. The other results obtained confirmed this situation.

The structure and characteristics of the pistachio shell were determined by pHpzc, FTIR spectroscopy, BET surface area and SEM-EDX analysis. A batch system was used to investigate the effects of dye concentration, pH, quantity and particle size of adsorbent, reaction duration, temperature and ion strength on dye removal performance were investigated. The error analysis methods were employed to get adsorption kinetics and the best-fitting isotherm models for adsorption of BB 41 dye. The results of modeling studies proved that Langmuir isotherms and pseudo-second-order kinetics the best represented adsorption kinetics and isotherm data. Present findings revealed that BB 41 removal was a feasible, spontaneous and endothermic process. Decreasing removal (%) rates were with increasing NaCl and SDS concentrations. After three cycles, regeneration efficiency was calculated as 65.39%. Continuous mode of operation was used for optimization of process parameters such as initial pollutant concentration, effluent flow rate and bed height. In continuous system, maximum adsorption capacity was identified as 41.77 mg/g. The Adams-Bohart, Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were used to find of the best fitting model for experimental data of continuous mode of operation. Pistachio shell had yielded quite high adsorption of dye, thus it was also conduced that pistachio shell could effectively and reliably be utilized in treatment of wastewater effluents of textile industry containing Basic blue 41 textile dye.

Maximum removal of 93.04% was obtained for pistachio shell activated with 10 N H 2 SO 4. The physicochemical properties of activated pistachio shell were characterized by pH pzc , FTIR, BET, and SEM-EDX analysis. The results showed that the AV 17 adsorption capacity was positively correlated to the BET surface area. The best fit of kinetic data to pseudo-second-order kinetic was determined. The adsorption follows both the Langmuir and Temkin isotherms. The Langmuir adsorption capacity was determined to be 26.455 mg/g at the initial dye concentration of 160 mg/L. The endothermic nature of adsorption was confirmed by the acquired thermodynamic data. Maximum desorption of 97.33% was achieved in 0.2 M NaOH for AAPS in the first cycle. This is very important for the economic use of the adsorbent. The findings demonstrate that activated pistachio shell may be a good alternative for color removal from industrial effluents.
