The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of a tertiary treatment system for irrigation reuse of secondary urban effluents. The tertiary treatment units (including coagulation-flocculation-disinfection) were evaluated using a pilot-scale plant (0.24 m3 h− 1 of capacity) located in the wastewater treatment plant of Bursa in Turkey. Th...
In this chapter, the effluents originating from an Organized Industrial District (OID) wastewater treatment plant for possible reuse in textile industry as process water was investigated. Wastewater samples were taken from an OID where most of industries consist of textile producers having mainly dying and finishing processes. Advanced treatment me...
The degradation and mineralization of 3-indole butyric acid (IBA) in aqueous solution was examined using Fenton and Fenton-like processes. Various operating conditions were evaluated including pH and the concentrations of iron ions (Fe(2+) and Fe(3+)) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). The highest COD removal efficiency was achieved at 0.2 mM/0.6 mM...
