Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are especially interesting because of their similar properties to synthetic plastics and their potential use as biodegradable polymers. Many strategies have been employed to effectively and economically produce PHAs, among them a production process based on mixed microbial populations, enriched from activated sludge could be one of the alternative technologies. Defining...
In the present study the influence of hydraulic retention time (HRT) in SBR and sludge age (SRT) on the effectiveness of nitrogen removal from leachate was investigated. Two series were performed. In each series, experiments were carried out in four SBR operated in parallel at HRT 12, 6, 3 and 2d, respectively. Each series differed in sludge age. In series 1, SRT decreased from 51 to 17d with shortening...
Adsorption of anionic (Borutosol KRN, Siarczanol N-2) and nonionic (Rokafenol N-8) surfactants onto chitin and dye-modified chitin (Brillantorange 3R, Scarlet R and Black DN) was investigated. Experiments were carried out at pH 3.0 and pH 6.2. The Langmuir-Freundlich model was used to describe adsorption isotherms. It was proved that adsorption isotherms of SAAs* onto chitin were S-type. The adsorption...
Adsorption of reactive dyes and surfactants onto chitin from mixtures containing surfactants at constant concentration and dyes at variable concentration was investigated in the present study. Two vinylsulfonate dyes (Scarlet R, Brillantorange 3R); chlorotriazine dye (Black DN); anionic (Borutosol KRN, Siarczanol N-2) and non-ionic (Rokafenol N-8) surfactants were tested. The experiments were carried...
The efficiency of organics and nitrogen removal from municipal landfill leachate in activated sludge operated as single and two-stage SBR were investigated. Leachate from mature landfills are characterized by high N/COD ratio (> 0.5). In single activated sludge system at the hydraulic retention time (HRT) 3d and at methanol dosage 8 mg COD/mg NNO3 complete ammonium nitrogen removal was obtained...
The effect of chitin preparation with HCl (chitin A) and with HCl and KOH (chitin B) and pH on the adsorption of reactive dyes (helactine, polactine and remazol) on chitin was investigated. The double Lang- muir equation was appropriate to analyze the dependence between amount of the adsorbed dye on chitin (Q) and its equilibrium concentration (C). It indicated the presence of two types of active...
Cadmium adsorption onto and desorption from sodium alginate and sodium alginate with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were studied. Intraparticular diffusion was demonstrated to limit adsorption kinetics during the first 20 min of process. The Deff value was dependent on adsorbent chemical composition and ranged from 3.35 ´ 10-10 m2/s to 1.86 ´ 10-10 m2/s for the 1.5% alginate with 0.5% PVA and for the 2%...
