The performance of integrated aerobic digestion and ozonation for the treatment of high strength distillery wastewater (i.e., cherry stillage) is reported. Experiments were conducted in laboratory batch systems operating in draw and fill mode. For the biological step, activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment facility was used as inoculum, showing a high degree of activity to distillery wastewater. Thus, BOD and COD overall conversions of 95% and 82% were achieved, respectively. However, polyphenol content and absorbance at 254 nm (A(254)) could not be reduced more than 35% and 15%, respectively, by means of single biological oxidation. By considering COD as substrate, the aerobic digestion process followed a Contois' model kinetics, from which the maximum specific growth rate of microorganisms (mu(max)) and the inhibition factor, beta, were then evaluated at different conditions of temperature and pH. In the combined process, the effect of a post-ozonation stage was studied. The main goals achieved by the ozonation step were the removal of polyphenols and A(254). Therefore, ozonation was shown to be an appropriate technology to aid aerobic biological oxidation in the treatment of cherry stillage.

“…Second, Teshima et al12 have shown that early reaction with 6 Gy twice daily for 10 fractions was well tolerated. Third, we have prescribed a median dose of 70 Gy over 7 days in the preloading era, and our crude local control for T1 and T2 disease was 92% and 83%, respectively 9. The complication rate was 12%.…”

“…Third, we have prescribed a median dose of 70 Gy over 7 days in the preloading era, and our crude local control for T1 and T2 disease was 92% and 83%, respectively. 9 The complication rate was 12%. According to the linear quadratic formula, 13 the dose to early responding tissue with 6 Gy twice daily for 10 fractions represents 14% dose increment compared with 70 Gy in 7 days.…”

“…Brachytherapy of primary tongue cancer has the advantage of preserving the function of the tongue and providing good posttreatment QoL [5,12,14,21,24], but there have been few reports concerning the effectiveness and complications of the curative radiotherapy for recurrent and/or residual tongue cancer [11,17].…”
