Treatment of beet sugar wastewater by UAFB bioprocess

The Characteristics, Effects, and Treatment of Wastewater in Sugarcane Industry

“…In another study (Mccabe and Vivona 1999), vacuum distillation techniques were applied to the treatment of wastewater, which removed virtually all the contaminants like TSS, COD, BOD, heavy metal, and mineral compound. Various methods have also been reported for treatment of SIWW like Adsorption (Saxena and Madan 2012), chemical coagulation with air stripping (Khan et al 2003), electrochemical (Guven et al 2009;Ogutveren et al 2009;Asaithambi and Matheswaran 2011), anaerobic biological treatment (Alkaya and Demirer 2011;Hampannavar and Shivayogimath 2010;Koppar and Pullammanappallil 2008;Farhadian et al 2007;Human et al 2001;Hernfindez and Cordoba 1994), microbial treatment (Ahmad and Mahmoud 1982), biochemical oxidation (Prasad et al 2006), membrane treatment (Bogliolol et al 1996;Hinkova et al 2002), nano-filtrations (Cartiera et al 1997, etc.…”

Improved fermentation performance in an expanded ectopic fermentation system inoculated with thermophilic bacteria

“…Several studies have suggested that wastewater could be treated using an anaerobic sludge blanket reactor, which would reduce possible environment hazards (Farhadian et al, 2007;Chavez et al, 2005). However, the sludge still has potential safety hazards due to the presence of heavy metals.…”

Fate of organic carbon in UAFB treating raw sewage: Impact of moderate to low temperature

“…An up-flow anaerobic fixed bed (UAFB) reactor, based on the concept of immobilization, is able to support a relatively balanced micro-ecosystem in the biofilm, and hence is a self-regulating process. The introduction of UAFB provides us a promising example in different kinds of wastewater treatment (Farhadian et al, 2007;Priya et al, 2009). To our knowledge, little attentions have ever been paid to assess the efficiency of a UAFB treating raw sewage under moderate to low temperature.…”
