Treatment of beverage production wastewater by membrane bioreactor

Photocatalytic degradation of quinoline in aqueous TiO2 suspension

“…Quinoline, a typical nitrogen-containing organic compound, is part of the structure of many antiseptics, antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals [1][2][3]. It is often served as a raw material and a solvent in the manufacture of dyes, paints, herbicides and other fine chemicals.…”

Performance evaluation of an side-stream anaerobic membrane bioreactor: Synthetic and alcoholic beverage industry wastewater

“…Wastewater from beverage production facilities contains easily biodegradable organic compounds (BOD5/COD=~0.5) and treatment of this type of wastewater usually comprises of physical pre-treatment for removal of suspended matter followed by biological treatment, either aerobic or anaerobic [21]. Matošić et al (2009) compared the performances of an aerobic MBR and a conventional activated sludge process treating beverage industry effluent [22]. Results of the study indicated that, MBR successfully removed the pollutants in terms of COD, BOD, and TOC from the wastewater with an efficiency of over 90%.…”

A Review on Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology: It’s Commercial Applications And Possibilities of Hybridization with other Membrane Techniques to Recover Valuable Industrial By-Products for Sustainable Development and Environmental Protection by and Large

“…After 60 days of continuous filtration, it was possible to restore the original permeability of the membrane through intensive chemical cleaning with hypochlorite, acid and alkaline solutions. [5] Maryam Takht Ravanchi et al (2009) has intensely worked on the application of membrane processes in petrochemical industry. Processes such as olefin/paraffin separation, light solvent separation, solvent dewaxing, phenol and aromatic recovery, dehydrogenation, oxidative coupling of methane and steam reforming of methane were discussed in detail.…”

“…It can be related to the increase of water price and the need for water reuse, as well as with the more stringent regulations on effluent quality. [5] LITERATURE REVIEW Chia-Yuan Chang et al (2008) has done a pilot-scale study of pharmaceutical wastewater treatment by a membrane bioreactor (MBR) process in southern Taiwan. The performance of the MBR was monitored for a period of 140 days.…”
