Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenolic compounds as a large class of metabolites found in plants have attracted attention since long time ago due to their properties and the hope that they will show beneficial health effects when taken as dietary supplements. This book presents the state of the art of some of the natural sources of phenolic compounds, for example, medicinal plants, grapes or blue maize, as well as the modern methods of extraction, quantification, and identification, and there is a special section discussing the treatment, removal, and degradation of phenols, an important issue in those phenols derived from the pharmaceutical or petrochemical industries.

Download or read book Emerging and Eco Friendly Approaches for Waste Management written by Ram Naresh Bharagava and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid industrialization is a serious concern in the context of a healthy environment. With the growth in the number of industries, the waste generated is also growing exponentially. The various chemical processes operating in the manufacturing industry generate a large number of by-products, which are largely harmful and toxic pollutants and are generally discharged into the natural water bodies. Once the pollutants enter the environment, they are taken up by different life forms, and because of bio-magnification, they affect the entire food chain and have severe adverse effects on all life forms, including on human health. Although, various physico-chemical and biological approaches are available for the removal of toxic pollutants, unfortunately these are often ineffective and traditional clean up practices are inefficient. Biological approaches utilizing microorganisms (bacterial/fungi/algae), green plants or their enzymes to degrade or detoxify environmental pollutants such as endocrine disruptors, toxic metals, pesticides, dyes, petroleum hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds, offer eco- friendly approaches. Such eco-friendly approaches are often more effective than traditional practices, and are safe for both industry workers as well as environment. This book provides a comprehensive overview of various toxic environmental pollutants from a variety natural and anthropogenic sources, their toxicological effects on the environment, humans, animals and plants as well as their biodegradation and bioremediation using emerging and eco-friendly approaches (e.g. Anammox technology, advanced oxidation processes, membrane bioreactors, membrane processes, GMOs), microbial degradation (e.g. bacteria, fungi, algae), phytoremediation, biotechnology and nanobiotechnology. Offering fundamental and advanced information on environmental problems, challenges and bioremediation approaches used for the remediation of contaminated sites, it is a valuable resource for students, scientists and researchers engaged in microbiology, biotechnology and environmental sciences.
Download or read book Cost Effective Process for Removal of Phenol from Water written by Khalid Rashid and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about wide spread contamination of surface and ground water by various organic compounds due to the rapid development of chemical and petrochemical industries have grown over the past several decades Phenol is classified as one of the most harmful contaminants of water .Chemical and petrochemical industries effluent are the primary sources of phenol. The environmental protection agencies are getting more and more strict about these effluent treatment so that water doesent get contaminated. The industries are bound to remove the contaminants from water. This book, therefore, provides a very cost effective process by which phenol can be removed from water. The analysis should help shed some light on this new economical and effective way for the effluent treatment plant of industries for removing phenol.This will also help our society to get safer environment.

Download or read book Physiochemical Properties and Removal Methods of Phenolic Compounds from Waste Waters written by Yesim Gucbilmez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this chapter, phenol and chlorophenols are investigated in terms of their production histories, physiochemical properties, pollution resources, and removal methods. It is seen that both phenol and chlorophenols are highly toxic compounds, produced from natural and anthropogenic sources, which are hazardous to both humans and the environment even at very low concentrations. The typical industries which produce phenol and chlorophenol pollution are petrochemical, textile, plastics, resin, dye, pharmaceutical, iron and steel, pulp and paper industries as well as the petroleum refineries, and coal gasification operations. Phenol is a highly corrosive and nerve poisoning agent. It causes harmful health effects, such as sour mouth, diarrhea, and impaired vision. It is also toxic for the ecosystem with toxicity levels ranging between 10-24 mg/L for humans, 9-25 mg/l for fish, and lethal blood concentration around 150-mg/100 ml. Chlorophenols found in natural waters or drinking water also cause serious health problems such as histopathological alterations, genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity among others. Due to the aforementioned reasons, the phenolic compounds in wastewaters or drinking water must be removed using a suitable wastewater treatment method such as adsorption, extraction, electrochemical oxidation, biodegradation, catalytic wet air oxidation, or enzyme treatment among others.

Download or read book Extraction of Phenolic Pollutants from Industrial Wastewater written by Farhod Dr Khalid and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial wastewater including those from petrochemicals petroleum refining and coking plants contain appreciable amount of phenol or chlorophenols which have been identified as a hazardous compounds for many aquatic organisms by Environment Protection Agencies. Compliance with these stringent discharge limits and the most economic was of achieving this without loss of production has thus become a challenge to human ingenuity and responsibility. This has led to continued refinement of existing treatment technologies and recognition and development of promising emergent technologies like liquid-liquid extraction. This book consists of three chapters. The first one is the introduction which contains theoretical background of liquid-liquid extraction requirements of solvent used for extraction, general physical properties of the solvents and literature survey related with these solvents. The experimental part is presented in the second chapter including purification of solvents and chemicals used for this study. The third chapter contains results and discussion which includes the determination the ternary equilibrium diagrams and the mutual solubillities of the binodal curves.

Download or read book Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment written by Simon Parsons and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The suitability of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for pollutant degradation was recognised in the early 1970s and much research and development work has been undertaken to commercialise some of these processes. AOPs have shown great potential in treating pollutants at both low and high concentrations and have found applications as diverse as ground water treatment, municipal wastewater sludge destruction and VOCs control. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment is an overview of the advanced oxidation processes currently used or proposed for the remediation of water, wastewater, odours and sludge. The book contains two opening chapters which present introductions to advanced oxidation processes and a background to UV photolysis, seven chapters focusing on individual advanced oxidation processes and, finally, three chapters concentrating on selected applications of advanced oxidation processes. Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment will be invaluable to readers interested in water and wastewater treatment processes, including professionals and suppliers, as well as students and academics studying in this area. Dr Simon Parsons is a Senior Lecturer in Water Sciences at Cranfield University with ten years' experience of industrial and academic research and development.
