In this study, it is aimed to find out which wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is more economical by means of comparison of initial investment costs and operational costs of decentralized and centralized domestic wastewater treatment plants in and around Antalya which is located in Mediterranean Region. For this purpose, data of 14 decentralized and 5 centralized domestic wastewater treatment plants is evaluated. The design flowrates of decentralized and centralized WWTP are varying 120-900 m3day-1 and 5000-22000 ...

The decolorization of C.I. Reactive Orange 36 (RO 36) by using Fenton-like process (Fe0/H2O2) was studied. Batch experiments were carried out for investigation of optimum operational conditions such as pH, H2O2 and Fe0 (iron powder) dosages. The results show that Fenton-like process is an efficient process to remove color from synthetic textile wastewater including RO 36 and polyvynil alcohol (PVA). The optimal conditions were experimentally determined and it was found to be initial pH = 3, [H2O2] = 50 mg/L, [Fe0]...

This study was focused on the application of Fenton (Fe+2/H2O2) process for the decolorization of colored synthetic wastewaters. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and C.I. Reactive Blue 21 (RB 21) were used as model pollutants. The selection of the optimal operating conditions (initial concentration of H2O2 and Fe2+) was performed in a batch reactor. The optimal reacting conditions were experimentally determined and it was found to be initial [H2O2] 20 mg/L, [Fe+2] 37.5 mg/L for synthetic wastewater containing [RB 21] 50 mg...

This study examined the decolorization of one of the most commonly used reactive dye by using the Fenton-like process [Iron pyrite/ H2O2]. Raw iron pyrite ore contains 28,68 \% Fe. Oxidation experiments were run in 500 mL-glass beakers that were continuously stirred for up to 180 min at a constant rate of 200 rpm, after initiation of the Fenton process. A series of experiments were carried out at various concentration of hydrogen peroxide and raw iron pyrite ore while the pH value was kept constant at 3 in order t...
