1. INTRODUCTION. The effects of climate change and the growing demand for water worldwide have generated an alarming water deficit. The global population is expected to reach nearly 8.6 billion by 2030, and water demand is expected to grow annually by 1 %, resulting in a cumulative increase of 20 % to 30 % by 2050 [1].Social development …
The enhancement of nitrogen removal was reinforced by nitritation/anammox in an anaerobic/oxic/anoxic (AOA) system of integrated fixed biofilm activated sludge. Nitritation was first attained by the method of free nitrous acid (FNA) inhibition with ammonia residues, and anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) …

An excessive addition of activated carbon is harmful for lead and bismuth minerals flotation because all the reagents will be absorbed by the activated carbon. This problem will persist until saturate all the carbon and then, the froth can show other appearance. The dosage can be in the range 1 to 1.5 kg/t bulk.
Plants respond to nitrogen availability by changing their root : shoot ratios. One hypothesis used to explain this allocation is that plants optimize their behaviour by maximizing their relative growth rate. The consequences of this hypothesis were investigated by formulating two models for root : shoot allocation, with and without …

The present work reports treatment of real dairy products wastewater by electrocoagulation– flotation (ECF). The process was performed in a batch stainless steel reactor equipped with aluminum electrodes. The model attributed to batch ECF process was optimized employing response surface methodology (RSM) via operating variables viz. …
FeCl 3 coagulation and dissolved air flotation (DAF) were combined to assess the success of these techniques for the treatment of semiaerobic landfill leachate. Treatment parameters (i.e.; flow rate, coagulant dosage, pH and injection time) were optimized via response surface methodology (RSM) using central composite design …
