The present study was conducted to determine the potential of utilizing the FeSO·7HO waste from the titanium manufacturing industry as an effective coagulant for treating industrial effluent. In this study, the secondary rubber processing effluent (SRPE) was treated using ferrous sulfate (FeSO·7HO) waste from the titanium oxide manufacturing industry. The FeSO·7HO waste coagulation efficiency was evaluated on the elimination of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH-N) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from SRPE. The central composite design (CCD) of experiments was employed to design the coagulation experiments with varying coagulation time, coagulant doses, and temperature. The coagulation experiments were optimized on the optimal elimination of NH-N and COD using response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that coagulant doses and temperature significantly influenced NH-N and COD elimination from SRPE. The highest NH-N and COD removal obtained were 98.19% and 93.86%, respectively, at the optimized coagulation experimental conditions of coagulation time 70 min, coagulant doses 900 mg/L, and temperature 62 °C. The residual NH-N and COD in treated SPRE were found below the specified industrial effluent discharge limits set by DoE, Malaysia. Additionally, the sludge generated after coagulation of SRPE contains essential plant nutrients. The present study's finding showed that FeSO·7HO waste generated as an industrial byproduct in a titanium oxide manufacturing industry could be utilized as an eco-friendly coagulant in treating industrial effluent.

Water quality deterioration is a problem throughout the globe, especially in China. The Chinese government established national total emission control (TEC) policies related to the nation's surface water quality over the past 10 yr to restore, protect, and promote healthy water quality. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of China's TEC policies by analyzing three water quality constituents (ammonium nitrogen [NH-N], dissolved oxygen [DO], and the permanganate index [COD]) at 73 monitoring stations, which account for most of the surface waters of eastern China.

The CW was divided into aerobic zone and anoxic zone by means of raising the effluent level and installing a perforated pipe. Two parameters (the ratio of aeration time and nonaeration time, aeration cycle) were optimized in the experiment to enhance nitrogen removal efficiency.

High energy consumption and membrane fouling are important factors that limit the wide use of membrane bioreactor (MBR). In order to reduce energy consumption and delay the process of membrane fouling, the process of anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR)-MBR was used to treat domestic sewage. The structure of the process and conditions of nitrogen and phosphorus removal were optimized in this study.

The 623 days experimental results clearly showed: the efficient denitrification and methanogenesis were conducted in a same UASB reactor, and almost 100% of denitrification was obtained, when feed COD concentration ranged from 1,000 mg x L(-1) to 13 800 mg x L(-1), effluent COD concentration was between 150 mg x L(-1) and 1,234 mg x L(-1), and when the influent ammonia nitrogen (NH(4+)-N) changed from 574 mg x L(-1) to 2,360 mg-L(-1), the effluent NH:-N was below 10 mg x L(-1), the removal efficiency reached 90% and 98%, respectively. Especially, above 99.
