Pharmaceutical wastewater has become an important source for emitting antibiotics into aquatic environments. However, this study aims to evaluate the potential of different advanced oxidation processes like ozonation, photolysis, and photo-catalysis for degrading a fluoroquinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) in real pharmaceutical wastewater. The raw wastewater contains a high concentration of...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accumulation of heavy metals in the liver, skin, gills, and muscles of two freshwater edible fish species (Labeo rohita and Wallago attu) collected from Taunsa barrage of the Indus River in Pakistan. Fish samples were collected on a seasonal basis and were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Gills and liver accumulated relatively higher heavy metal...
The current research is an attempt to find out diurnal and monthly mean patterns of air pollutants, their interrelationships, and their dominant sources through hourly and monthly data analysis. Lahore is a semiarid region with low rainfall, hot and humid summers, and cold dry winters. Annually, the highest air quality index (AQI) (132 to 185) is observed from November to February due to inversion...
Like other developing countries (Brazil, Argentina, and India) compressed natural gas (CNG) is becoming a popular vehicular fuel in Pakistan. Rapid shifting of diesel and gasoline vehicles to CNG has brought Pakistan the highest number of CNG vehicles in the world. To quantify a possible decrease in vehicular emissions for different types of vehicles, engine and fuel types were monitored for five...
Disinfection of anaerobically treated municipal wastewater was done using ozone, UV, H2O2, peracetic acid, and advanced oxidation processes (O3/H2O2, O3/UV, H2O2/UV, H2O2/sunlight). Ozone, UV irradiation, and H2O2 eliminated 99% of pathogens (total coliform, fecal coliform, and E. coli) at ozonation time of 20 min at the rate of 1000 mg/hr; UV irradiation time of 11 min and H2O2 dose of 336 mg/L....
In order to upgrade the quality of anaerobically treated effluent to a level recommended for irrigation, integration of a UASB reactor with UV and AOPs (advanced oxidation processes) (Ozone, H2O2/UV, Fenton, and photo-Fenton) could be a better option for almost complete colour, COD removal, and disinfection of pathogens. High efficiency of the UASB can be maintained by proper process conditions, including...
Ozonation was carried out for decolorization and COD removal of raw and anaerobically treated UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) combined industrial (mainly textile) effluent in a lab-scale bubble column reactor. Ozonation of anaerobic bioprocess effluent at a dose of 300 mg/h for 10 min resulted in 81% color and 75% COD removal (100 mgO3/80 mg COD) while for raw wastewater 25 min ozonation furnished...
