A novel multi-phase treatment scheme for odorous rubber effluent

Applications of Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) and Characteristics of Its Microbial Community: A Review of Bibliometric Trend and Recent Findings

“…The aim of coupling technologies was the improvement of organic substance removal efficiency and methane yields production. For instance, Rahman et al [ 56 ] evaluated the performance of UASB reactor, coagulation–flocculation, and aeration to remove organic substances from wastewater of rubber latex production. They found that this combined system proved to be effective by reducing total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) by 68–87%, and BOD and COD by more than 80% [ 56 ].…”

Anaerobic Treatment of Rubber Latex Processing Effluent for Energy Production and Pollution Abatement

“…James and Kamaraj (2002) has described various anaerobic high rate systems for organic effluent treatment. Many previous studies confirm the possibility of anaerobic high rate bioreactors for the treatment and energy conversion of organic effluents (Najafpour et al, (2006), Elangovan and Philip ( 2009), Bovas and James (2010), Young et al, (2012), Kim et al, (2017), Ittisupornrat et al, (2019 and Rahman et al, (2019)).…”

“…Nguyen and Luong (2012) was of the view that ammonia present in RLPE affects its biodegradation, while Jariyaboon et al, (2015) found that RLPE had 9 g/L of ammonia nitrogen and it did not seriously affect the fermentation activity but H 2 SO 4 used for coagulating the skim latex increased the sulfate concentration in the RLPE and that inhibited the methanogenic activity. Rahman et al, (2019) also had a similar opinion with regard to sulfate concentration as the result of using H 2 SO 4 and found that it resulted in increased levels of H 2 S in the biogas produced. Promnuan and O-Thong (2017) suggested the use of sulphate reducing bacteria to remove sulfate before anaerobic treatment.…”

“…Kerala state of India, known as 'God's own country' in the world tourism scenario is famous for its natural beauty and earns a significant share of its GDP from tourism (Fenn et al, 2020). Kerala is ranked first in India for annual rubber production of 490460 tonnes in 2018-2019(MCI, 2019, and there is a serious concern on the environmental problem due to discharge of untreated RLPE. In addition to the pollution due to RLPE, the drying of rubber sheets in biomass fired dryers called 'smoke chambers' are also causing air pollution.…”

H2S Removal with Sorbent Obtained from Sewage Sludges

“…Porosity and surface chemistry, coupled to operating conditions (relative humidity, H 2 S concentration, O 2 concentration, presence of other contaminants in biogas stream, and temperature) are the main characteristics that involve the gas cleaning mechanisms [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
