The new incorporation bio-treatment technology of bromoamine acid and azo dyes wastewaters under high-salt conditions

The accelerating effect of quinones has been studied in the bio-decolorization processes, but there are no literatures about the incorporation bio-treatment technology of the bromoamine acid (BA) wastewater and azo dyes wastewaters under high-salt conditions (NaCl, 15%, w/w). Here we described the BA wastewater as a redox mediator in the bio-decolorization of azo dye wastewaters. Decolorization of azo dyes was carried out experimentally using the salt-tolerant bacteria under the BA wastewater and high-salt conditions. The BA wastewater used as a redox mediator was able to increase the decolorization rate of wastewater containing azo dyes. The effects of various operating conditions such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pH on microbial decolorization were investigated experimentally. At the same time, BA was tested to assess the effects on the change of the Oxidation–Reduction Potential (ORP) values during the decolorization processes. The experiments explored a great improvement of the redox mediator application and the new bio-treatment concept.

Removal of pigments from molasses wastewater by combining micro-electrolysis with biological treatment method

Pigments in molasses wastewater (MWW) effluent, such as melanoidins, were considered as kinds of the most recalcitrant and hazardous colorant contaminants to the environment. In this study, de-coloring the MWW by a synergistic combination of micro-electrolysis with bio-treatment was performed. Aiming to a high de-colorization yield, levels of nutrition source supplies, MWW dilution ratio, and micro-electrolysis reaction time were optimized accordingly. For a diluted (50 %, v/v) MWW, an maximum overall de-colorization yield (97.1 ± 0.5 %, for absorbance at 475 nm) was achieved through the bio-electrolysis treatment. In electrolysis bio-treatment, the positive effect of micro-electrolysis was also revealed by a promoted growth of fungal biomass as well as activities of ligninolytic enzymes. Activities of lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase were promoted by 111.2, 103.9, and 7.7 %, respectively. This study also implied that the bio-treatment and the micro-electrolysis had different efficiencies on removal of pigments with distinct polarities.     

Impact of enzymatic pre-hydrolysis on batch activated sludge systems dealing with oily wastewaters

Dairy wastewater containing different oil and grease contents was treated in batch activated sludge systems with and without (control) an enzymatic pre-hydrolysis stage [with 0.2% (w/v) of fermented babassu cake containing Penicillium restrictum lipases]. When the oil and grease concentration in the control bioreactor was increased (400, 600 and 800 mg l^–1), the COD removal efficiency fell (86%, 75% and 0%). However, in the reactor fed with pre-hydrolysed wastewater, COD removal efficiency was maintained (93%, 92% and 82%). At an oil and grease concentration of 800 mg l^–1, the control bioreactor presented final volatile suspended solids (VSS) values ten times greater (2225 mg l^–1) than those obtained for bioreactor fed with pre-hydrolysed wastewater (200 mg l^–1).     

Biodegradation of naphthalene in the oil refinery wastewater by enriched activated sludge

The main purpose of this paper is to study naphthalene (NAP) biodegradation by acclimated activated sludge, employing the culture-enrichment method in a continuous flow bioreactor of the wastewater treatment process. The effects of various COD loadings and influent flow rates of an artificial wastewater containing 15 mg l⁻¹ NAP on the biodegradation rates of the activated sludge will be investigated, in order to determine the biodegradation kinetics and minimum mean cell residence time of the activated sludge. From the experimental results, it was found that the resulting enriched activated sludge follows the growth rate of the Monod type and can biodegrade those COD and NAP loadings in the influents efficiently, and its bio-treatment efficiency on NAPs increases with the decrease of influent flow rate. The sludge volume index (SVI) of the resulting enriched activated sludge meets the design value required by the convectional activated sludge process for the treatment of wastewater.     

A novel moderately halophilic bacterium for decolorizing azo dye under high salt condition

Halomonas sp strain GTW was newly isolated from coastal sediments contaminated by chemical wastewater and was identified to be a member of the genus Halomonas by 16S rDNA sequence analysis and physical and biochemical tests. The optimal decolorization conditions were as follows: temperature 30°C, pH 6.5.0–8.5, NaCl 10–20% (w/v) and the optimal carbon source was yeast exact. The results of experiments demonstrated that the bacteria could decolorize different azo dyes under high salt concentration conditions, and the decolorization rate of five tested azo dyes could be above 90% in 24 h. The exploitation of the salt-tolerant bacteria in the bio-treatment system would be a great improvement of conventional biological treatment systems and the bio-treatment concept.     

Anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge and grease trap: Assessment of enzyme addition

Anaerobic co-digestion of grease trap and sewage sludge from a wastewater treatment plant is evaluated. Enzyme-lipase application, both addition and dosage, are evaluated by fitting the methane production of biochemical potential tests with the first order model. The enzyme addition effect, at 2, 5 and 10% of grease trap (%GT VS_FED^?1) and the enzymes doses, between 0.25 and 1.67% (v/v), without and with grease trap presence were studied. Grease trap addition showed a negative effect on the waste biodegradability, which was completely overcome by the addition of lipase. Enzyme addition improved notably the methane production for all grease trap fractions studied. In regards to the dosage, the best result was achieved between 0.33 and 0.83% (v/v) of enzyme. The co-digestion of sewage sludge and grease trap may be a feasible process by using lipases due to the saving in operational costs and the increase in the biogas production     

Bioremediation of Vegetable Oil and Grease from Polluted Wastewater Using a Sand Biofilm System

Pseudomonas sp. (L1), P. diminuta(L2) were among eight bacterial strains isolated from vegetable grease and oil-contaminated industrial wastewater, four of which only were found to have the ability to degrade oil and grease. They were identified and investigated for oil and grease degradation either individually or in combinations in previous unpublished work by the authors. Since the combination M1 (Pseudomonas sp. andP. diminuta) produced the highest degradative activity, it was used in the present study in a biofilm sand filter system for vegetable oil and grease removal. This system was tested either as one unit or two units in sequence where different flow rates (30, 50, 100 ml/h) were applied compared to a control unit(s). Results showed that both biofilm systems reduced oily wastewater, even in cases of high degree of pollution (fat, oil & grease (FOG), 7535 ppm; biochemical oxygen demand (BOD₅), 525 ppm; chemical oxygen demand (COD), 1660 ppm). Results also showed a removal of FOG with efficiency at 100%; BOD₅ at 95.9% and COD at 96%, at 50 ml/h flow rate using one unit of biofilm system. On using two units in sequence, a complete removal of FOG, BOD₅ and COD with efficiency 100%, at flow rate 100 ml/h was achieved. In conclusion, the previous biofilm results indicated the efficiency of such a system in treating oily polluted wastewater (vegetable oil origin) on the basis of bacterial isolates being used, the optimum flow rate, and the number of biofilm units used in sequence to obtain the highest removal capacity of such a system. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Performance and molecular evaluation of an anaerobic system with suspended biomass for treating wastewater with high fat content after enzymatic hydrolysis

The effect of a lipase-rich fungal enzymatic preparation, produced by a Penicillium sp. during solid-state fermentation, was evaluated in an anaerobic digester treating dairy wastewater with 1200 mg of oil and grease/L. The oil and grease hydrolysis step was carried out with 0.1% (w/v) of solid enzymatic preparation at 30 °C for 24 h, and resulted in a final free acid concentration eight times higher than the initial value. The digester operated in sequential batches of 48 h at 30 °C for 245 days, and had high chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies (around 90%) when fed with pre-hydrolyzed wastewater. However, when the pre-hydrolysis step was removed, the anaerobic digester performed poorly (with an average COD removal of 32%), as the oil and grease accumulated in the biomass and effluent oil and grease concentration increased throughout the operational period. PCR-DGGE analysis of the Bacteria and Archaea domains revealed remarkable differences in the microbial profiles in trials conducted with and without the pre-hydrolysis step, indicating that differences observed in overall parameters were intrinsically related to the microbial diversity of the anaerobic sludge.
