The cellulose hydrazone derivative is a novel product prepared from dialdehyde cellulose with 2-hydrazino3,5,6,7tetrahydrocyclopentanethieno[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-4(4H)-one under suitably selected conditions. It was found that the reaction of dialdehyde cellulose with the 2-hydrazino derivative decreased

Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a concern in many parts of the world. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency recently reduced the maximum contaminant level of arsenic in drinking water from 50 to 10 µg/L (ppb). In Bangladesh the arsenic concentration in drinking water c

A dissolved air flotation (DAF) process is used for removing oil from oil–water emulsions. Operational conditions that increase shearing and disturbance of liquid during the operation of large-scale DAF systems can significantly reduce oil removal efficiency. Objectives of this study were to evaluat

One of the largest seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants in the world commissioned at Addur, Kingdom of Bahrain survived the numerous obstacles that brought down the plant’s production capacity to its lowest level. The drastic production loss, ever increasing heavy chemical cleaning pr

Two step coagulation using iron coagulant (FeCl3) with anionic polyelectrolyte in the first step and aluminum coagulant in the second one was made to reduce the negative effect of the fouling phenomenon. The process was operated on the commercial scale. The raw water was the blowdown water from the

This study aims to find news a die of purification for a wastewater reuse. Primary effluent contains organic mineral, dissolved and suspended matter (colloids). Microfiltration or ultrafiltration is adequate for producing disinfected clear water suited for different applications. However, direct fil

An in-line coagulation (without settling)/UF process has been studied to improve membrane performance and water quality for surface water treatment. Using coagulation before UF increases permeate quality; the extent of dissolved organic matter removal is controlled by the coagulation step. Efficient

The aim of this study is to determinate optimum conditions, membrane configuration, air flow, coagulation rate, permeate flux, for the ultrafiltration of surface water. Results show how coagulation is a necessary pre-treatment to remove micro-particles in aqueous suspension (i) before a conventional

Coagulation with only rapid mixing in a separate tank (ordinary coagulation) and coagulation with no mixing tank (in-line coagulation) were applied prior to ultrafiltration with an inside-out type hollow fiber membrane. In result the filterability at the former conditions was superior in both the cr

The wastewater from the meat industry was treated in the system linking the processes of: coagulation, biological treatment using the activated sludge method, simultaneous precipitation of phosphor and reverse osmosis. The carried out investigation studies showed that after the simultaneous precipit
