Wastewater treatment processes utilizing hydrodynamic cavitation

(Corresponding) Innocenzi V., Prisciandaro M., Vegliò F.
Topic: 
Advanced oxidation processes
In the present work, the potentiality of the hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) for the degradation of organic pollutants from industrial effluents has been studied. Cavitation is a phenomenon of formation, growth, collapse of microbubbles or cavities, in a few milli- to microseconds and releases large...Read more

The green projects as a source of proecological transformation

Grudziński A.
Topic: 
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Green projects are unique, complex, one-time and intertwined activities that serve to preserve and protect the natural environment. The implementation of green projects may affect the greening of some enterprises. At the same time, so-called "brown" enterprises will have the chance to...Read more

Groundwater quality and hydrogeochemical characterization of Khetri copper mining region, India

(Corresponding) Punia A., Siddaiah N., (Corresponding) Bharti R.
Topic: 
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The impact of copper mine on groundwater quality in the semi-arid region is evaluated, and also characterized for hydrogeochemical processes. Groundwater samples (post monsoon and pre monsoon) from Khetri copper mine region of Rajasthan, India were studied. In majority of groundwater samples, the...Read more

Preliminary study on Cr-rich groundwater treatment by membrane processes

(Corresponding) Fuoco I., Figoli A., brozzo g., De Rosa R., Bloise A., Criscuoli A., (Corresponding) Apollaro C.
Topic: 
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
The aim of this work has been treat Cr- rich groundwaters through membranes processes as alternative to conventional methods. Chromium (Cr) is a dangerous element for environment and human health. Commonly, the highest concentrations Cr are detected in ophiolitic areas where ultramafic and...Read more

Start-up of the nitrogen removal process in an anaerobic up-flow reactor inoculated with aeration tank sludge

Wijaya I., (Corresponding) Ribeiro H., Soedjono E., Slamet ., Teixeira C., Bordalo A.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) has been considered a promisingly alternative to traditional nitrification/denitrification to remove nitrogen in an autotrophic process, without using an external carbon source, requiring low energy consumption and sludge production. The start-up of the...Read more
