In summary, both strategies prevented sludge flotation and uneven nitrogen mass transfer. However, mechanical agitation had a more substantial …

Denitrification followed by flotation clarification: The process involves the reduction of nitrates and nitrites to nitrogen gas through the action of facultative heterotrophic bacteria. In suspended-growth separate stage denitrification processes, nitrified wastewater containing primarily nitrates is passed through a mixed anaerobic …

Abstract. This study aimed to remediate the problems of sludge floating and uneven mass transfer in up-flow partial denitrification/anammox (PDA) …

Oxygen and carbon source supply are usually insufficient in subsurface flow constructed wetlands. Simultaneous removal of organic pollutants and nitrogen in five batch-operated vertical flow constructed wetlands under different operating conditions was investigated. Alternate aerobic and anaerobic regions were created well with intermittent …

The present work reports treatment of real dairy products wastewater by electrocoagulation– flotation (ECF). The process was performed in a batch stainless steel reactor equipped with aluminum electrodes. The model attributed to batch ECF process was optimized employing response surface methodology (RSM) via operating variables viz. …

Plants respond to nitrogen availability by changing their root : shoot ratios. One hypothesis used to explain this allocation is that plants optimize their behaviour by maximizing their relative growth rate. The consequences of this hypothesis were investigated by formulating two models for root : shoot allocation, with and without …

The optimization of relevant parameters to shorten the start-up period and improve the performance of the MBBR is an ongoing research hotspot. In this study, a new aquaculture wastewater pretreatment process, the electrocoagulation–air flotation–microfiltration technology (EC–AF–MF), was constructed, and its effects on the …

To improve the nitrification/denitrification, was implemented an experimental flotation treatment, between the stabilization lagoon and the reverse …

In order to improve production control ability in the gold ore flotation process, the output index in this process was studied. Flotation is an effective gold recovery process. Gold concentrate grade and gold recovery rate are the key output indicators of the flotation process. However, in the existing studies exploring the impact …

Ladle desulfurization rates strongly depend on argon bubbling rates. Vacuum degassing rates depend on steel circulation rates, the size of the reaction area and – in the case of nitrogen – on the interfacial reaction rate. Decarburization in stainless steelmaking is limited by liquid-phase mass transfer. Flotation of oxide inclusions is ...

Application - Dissolved Air Flotation Optimization. In industrial processing plants, a Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is often used to reduce loadings and clarify wastewater. Tiny air bubbles are released into the tank causing small particulates to float to the top where they are skimmed off. To remove larger suspended solids, coagulant is dosed ...

The quantities of macronutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus may vary for different species of microalgae. It has been reported the growth of chlorella declined when the concentrations of nitrogen and phosphors reduced from 31.5 and 10.5 mg/l respectively . Quantities of the available nitrogen in the culture directly alter cell growth.

One of the few integrating theories related to allocation is the hypothesis of optimization. While optimization theory has great heuristic appeal and has been used to describe a range of physiological and ecological phenomena, it has major limitations. Optimization is necessarily based on a definite time integral and an optimal control strategy must be …
