Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesalination of Saline Sludges Using Ion-Exchange Column with ZeoliteA.E. Ghaly, M. VermaA flushing process followed by a zeolite based ion-exchange process were developed for the treatment of saline sludges from oil and gas exploration sites. The particle size distribution of sludge sample indicated the presence of very fine sand and clay. The electrical conductivity of the sludge was 42.2 dS m-1 indicating very saline sludge and the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,067 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Coagulation Technology for Treatment of Grease Filter WashwaterAbdel E. Ghaly, A. Snow, B.E. FaberThe treatment of grease filter washwater by chemical coagulation and sedimentation using different dosages of aluminum sulfate was investigated. Pollutant removal efficiency was measured in terms of total solids, pH and optical density. The process was found to be effective at the room temperature and the filter washwater pH (9.5). The optimum aluminum sulfate dosage was 2 g/L. The treatment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,819 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Polyelectrolyte in Turbidity Removal from Surface WaterA. H. Mahvi, M. RazaviOne of the most important treatment processes in surface water treatment plants is coagulation. Surface waters such as rivers and lakes contain suspended particles and turbidity. With the aid of coagulants, and by flocculation process, followed by sedimentation and filtration, these impurities can be removed from raw waters these days, besides conventional chemicals such as Alum and Ferric chloride, polymers … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 8,239 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordRheological Characterization of Sludge Coming from a Wastewater Treatment PlantDaniel Novarino, Ezio Santagata, Davide Dalmazzo, Mariachiara ZanettiProblem statement: The aim of this study was that of studying the rheology of sewage sludge using two different rheological test protocols taken from literature and comparing them in order to evaluate which useful information are given from every protocol. Approach: Two different protocols have been used taking particularly into account the problems connected to sludge heterogeneous composition and to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,370 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Typical Case Study: Solid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanThe current environmental concerns have forced developed and developing countries to reduce air, water and land pollution for sustainable growth. Solid refinery waste is cocktail of hydrocarbons, water, heavy metal and fine solids and is substantial in quantity. The principal processes of waste management focus mainly on waste source reduction, reusing, recycling, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 9,773 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIsolation and Purification of Bacterial Strains from Treatment Plants for Effective and Efficient Bioconversion of Domestic Wastewater SludgeK. C.A. Jalal, Md. Z. Alam, Suleyman A. Muyibi, P. JamalForty six bacterial strains were isolated from nine different sources in four treatment plants namely Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) sewage treatment plant, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) treatment plant-1,-2 and -3 to evaluate the bioconversion process in terms of efficient biodegradation and bioseparation. The bacterial strains isolated were found to be 52.2% (24 isolates) and 47.8% (22 isolates) in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,580 accessesView PDF Cite
