Application of biological oxidation and solar driven advanced oxidation processes to remediation of winery wastewater

Winery wastewater treatment by combination of Cryptococcus laurentii and Fenton’s reagent

“…Because the BOD/COD ratio = 0.55 indicates a good biodegradability potential we decided to first performed the biological treatment. WW characteristics can vary, depending on grape varieties, processing operations and fermentation processes (Petruccioli et al, 2002;Malandra et al, 2003), but in general the WW parameters were in agreement with others (Eusébio et al, 2004;Souza et al, 2013).…”

“…e l s e v i e r. c o m / l o c a t e / c h e m o s p h e r e responsible for significant COD reductions (Petruccioli et al, 2002;Eusébio et al, 2004;Ganesh et al, 2010;Souza et al, 2013). Studies on the microbial community in WW aerated bioreactors indicated that in number bacteria dominated over fungi (Malandra et al, 2003;Eusébio et al, 2004;McIlroy et al, 2011).…”

“…The high COD and BOD, mainly due to the concentrations of soluble sugars, organic acids, alcohols, polyphenols, tannins and structural polymers (Malandra et al, 2003;Jin and Kelly, 2009;Souza et al, 2013) turn these effluents into an environmental problem. Hence, a responsible management of these effluents requires that their potential environmental impacts be minimal and within an acceptable range.…”

Chemical oxidation of fish canning wastewater by Fenton's reagent

“…A 3 3 [16,17], a BoxBehnken full factorial design with 3 factors and 3 levels was done later, in order to define the reaction optimum conditions and to analyze the factors influence. Each independent variable was coded at three levels between À1 (low level), 0 (middle point) and +1 (high level).…”

Investigation of optimum conditions and costs estimation for degradation of phenol by solar photo-Fenton process

“…Many researchers reported that compound parabolic collectors (CPC) technology is suitable for application of solar photo-Fenton process (Lafi and Al-Qodah 2006;Vilar et al 2011;Souza et al 2013) because UV light is reflected and intensified towards the solution moving in the reactor tubes (Gar Alalm et al 2014).…”
