Removal of phenols, thiocyanate and ammonium from coal gasification wastewater using moving bed biofilm reactor

Survey on Treatment Ability of Stabilization Pond as a Natural Treatment System in Oil Refinery Wastewaters

“…That was in agreement with this study. The study results carried out by Li et al showed that phenol removal effi ciency from coal gasifi cation wastewater by the moving bed biofi lm reactor has been 89% [30]. Yousef et al showed that by increasing the concentration of phenol in infl uent wastewater, the effi ciency of removal by the pond is reduced [31].…”

Upgrading of the Mirmohana Wastewater Treatment Plant in Kish Island, Iran, using a moving bed biofilm reactor

“…The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) process was developed in Norway and firstly set up about 30 years ago (1). The MBBR shows all the advantages of a standard biofilm reactor while at the same time treatment high particle loads (2).…”

Understanding the simultaneous biodegradation of thiocyanate and salicylic acid by Paracoccus thiocyanatus and Pseudomonas putida

“…Particular importance has been devoted to the biological removal of phenolic and cyanide compounds by activated sludge systems, either together or separately (Banerjee 1996;Huang et al 2013;Juang and Tsai 2006;Kwon et al 2002;Sharma et al 2012). These two families of compounds, which frequently appear simultaneously in wastewaters from different industrial sectors, such as the pharmaceutical or iron and steel industries, are strictly regulated worldwide because of their extreme toxicity (Li et al 2011). This has caused the development of several researching works investigating the biodegradation of these kinds of compounds.…”

“…The physical, chemical or biological degradation of the most of toxic compounds usually present in industrial wastewaters is well documented (Collado et al 2009(Collado et al , 2010Kim et al 2008;Li et al 2011;Marañón et al 2008). Particular importance has been devoted to the biological removal of phenolic and cyanide compounds by activated sludge systems, either together or separately (Banerjee 1996;Huang et al 2013;Juang and Tsai 2006;Kwon et al 2002;Sharma et al 2012).…”
