This book was released on 2007 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wastewater colour is of concern in the pulp and paper industry as regulations place strict limits on wastewater quality and aesthetic appeal. In some treatment systems increases in colour occur, meaning that maximum daily limits are exceeded and mills may fail discharge standards. This study specifically addressed the colour formation issue for the first time. A multi-site industrial survey confirmed previous anecdotal evidence that colour formation of up to 40% occurs in whole mill effluents treated using aerated stabilisation basins. In-depth field studies of a specific treatment system showed that colour formation was initiated in low dissolved oxygen zones. The importance of biological anaerobic activity was confirmed using continuous and batch reactors, where colour formation was shown to be correlated to oxygen availability. Batch studies showed that in-mill wastewaters high in lignin-derived material, such as bleaching or thermomechanical pulping effluents had greater colour forming potential. Wastewaters low in lignin, such as papermachine effluents, showed less colour forming potential. Combinations of effluents with high and low colour forming potential led to greater colour increases than predicted from the individual effluents alone. Fractionation of pulp bleaching wastewaters based on molecular weight showed that colour formation occurs in high molecular mass (HMM) material. Absence of HMM material effectively removed the potential for colour increases during biological treatment. Previously reported mechanisms ascribing colour formation to reactions between anaerobically produced monomers were not supported experimentally. Reactions between such monomers and HMM also did not produce colour increases. Overall, this study of colour behaviour in these complex systems has presented complex challenges. Combining fundamental studies on colour function and behaviour with laboratory assay-directed studies and in-mill assessments will assist the industry in identifying realistic colour management strategies that provide overall environmental benefits to the sector. Studies on fractionated bleaching wastewaters showed HMM acted as an electron acceptor for bacterial growth and could increase its colour through structural changes, such as the formation of quinonoid chromophores. Increases in colour were inhibited when electron acceptors of greater energy than HMM were present. Colour increases also correlated well with the availability and removal of suitable electron donor material.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pulp and paper industry produces large volumes of effluent containing, among other things, dark brown lignin and lignin degradation products. The exact nature of the chromophoric (colour causing) groups in the wastes and the effects of these colour bodies on the aquatic environment are not known. However, developmental work on several processes for colour reduction has reached full scale application and colour removal is now required in many local areas for various reasons. Colour reduction can be achieved by either technical changes within the mill or by effluent treatment systems. In-plant modification can range from simple, inexpensive measures such as pulp washing and better "housekeeping" practices, to complex technological changes such as implementation of oxygen bleaching. While in-plant changes should be considered and implemented as a first preference, external treatment may often still be required. There are a large number of external treatment methods which are known to be technically feasible for colour removal from pulp and paper mill effluents.

Book excerpt: Pulp and paper industries generate highly-colored wastewaters, the color of which is not removed by conventional biological treatment. As a result, the persistent color of the wastewater can potentially disrupt the aesthetic appearance of the recieving stream as well as releasing potentially toxic compounds to the environment. Coagulation and flocculation is a chemical treatment practiced to remove color from pulp and paper mill wastewaters. The main focus of this work was to study the color removal efficiency of coagulation/flocculation treatment on a specialty pulp and paper mill wastewater located in the State of Tennessee. In this regard, the effect of coagulant, coagulant aid, and flocculent dosages as well as the wastewater pH and temperature on color removal process were examined. Furtheremore, bentonite clay and powdered activated carbon (PAC) effectiveness for color removal were tested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past 30 years have seen the emergence of a growing desire worldwide that positive actions be taken to restore and protect the environment from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution – air, water, soil, and noise. Since pollution is a direct or indirect consequence of waste, the seemingly idealistic demand for “zero discharge” can be construed as an unreal- tic demand for zero waste. However, as long as waste continues to exist, we can only attempt to abate the subsequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. Three major questions usually arise when a particular type of pollution has been identi?ed: (1) How serious is the pollution? (2) Is the technology to abate it available? and (3) Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved? This book is one of the volumes of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering series. The principal intention of this series is to help readers formulate answers to the last two questions above. The traditional approach of applying tried-and-true solutions to speci?c pollution p- blems has been a major contributing factor to the success of environmental engineering and has accounted in large measure for the establishment of a “methodology of pollution control. ” However, the realization of the ever-increasing complexity and interrelated nature of current environmental problems renders it imperative that intelligent planning of pollution abatement systems be undertaken.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is unique in highlighting the issue of wastewater as one of the important environmental issues. The uniqueness also lies in exploring the concepts of converting waste into resources in the form of bioenergy, biofertilizers through various biological methods. Given the international scenario, the chapters of this book are designed to include both anaerobic and aerobic methods of resource recovery from the industrial wastewater. The book is a step toward design with nature and the concept of green chemistry. Waste menace is one of the most voiced and unsolved problems in the entire world. The whole world is facing the threat of water pollution, soil pollution/ land pollution, odour pollution from the growing waste. Though we find many missions and programs at international, national, and regional level to solve the waste associated issues, this is mostly in context with the solid fraction of the waste. Very little is being done to manage the liquid part of the waste or what we call the wastewater. The conversion of wastewater has the potential to be converted to energy in the form bioenergy, bio-fertilizers, electricity, nutrient recovery, etc. The use of sludge as biofertilizers solves the problem of sludge management on the one hand and production of organic crops on the other. The biological treatment methods like sludge treatment gives the farmers the source of biofertilizers and organic manure for the plants. In the present scenario, energy crisis is also one of the issues that we are facing particularly in context with the thermal power plants which are environmentally highly polluting. Through various techniques like microbial fuel cells or biohydrogen, we get a source of cleaner energy. So, through this book, we try to produce the content and information to give the audience an understanding of the waste water as one of the environmental and health issues and mitigation strategies. The book gives a sufficient understanding of how waste can be turned into a resource.

Download or read book Industrial Wastewater Treatment by Activated Sludge written by Derin Orhon and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-02 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial pollution is still a major concern and despite its significance, sound and systematic pollution control efforts are very poorly documented. The character and treatability of industrial wastewaters is highly variable and specific for each industrial activity. Biological treatment with activated sludge is the appropriate technology for industrial wastewaters from several major industrial sectors. Industrial Wastewater Treatment by Activated Sludge deals with the activated sludge treatment of industrial wastewaters by considering conceptual frameworks, methodologies and case studies, in a stepwise manner. The issues related to activated sludge treatment, such as biodegradability based characterization, modeling, assessment of stoichiometric and kinetic parameters and design, as well as the issues of industrial pollution control, e.g. in-plant control, effect of pretreatment, etc. are combined in a way to provide a comprehensive and information-rich view to the reader. By doing so, the book supplies an up-to-date reference for industrial wastewater experts and both graduate and undergraduate students. Industrial Wastewater Treatment by Activated Sludge provides a roadmap, describing the methodologies for the treatment of industrial wastewaters from several major sectors, based on a solid theoretical background. Up to now although valuable separate efforts both on activated sludge and industrial wastewater treatment have been presented, an integrated approach that is crucial to practice has not been available. This gap is filled by this book.
