Subjects: electrocoagulation process, optimization, alimoradian hospital, rsm-ccd, Medicine, Medicine (General), R5-920
Abstract: Background and Aim: Amoxicillin antibiotic is one of the antibiotics which is used in medicine and veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infectious diseases. In this study, a special electrochemical cell design was used as it could integrate the process units and the operation units to reduce COD and amoxicillin antibiotic residues from the wastewater of Alimoradian Hospital. Also, to optimize the operational parameters, the central composite design of response surface methodology (RSM) was used. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted in two parts. In the first stage, synthetic wastewater was prepared from Amoxicillin antibiotics to investigate the effect of various parameters such as reaction time, initial antibiotic concentration, current density, and pH on the efficiency of the method. In the second stage, the efficiency of the method in removing the antibiotic and reducing COD from the actual wastewater of Alimoradian hospital was evaluated. Results: Using the RSM, the optimal conditions of the laboratory findings were determined as follows: reaction time = 30 min, pH = 7.5, current density = 2.31 mA/cm2, and initial concentration of amoxicillin = 54.66 mg/L. Under these conditions, the removal amount of amoxicillin was 90.56%. The results also showed that under optimal conditions, the removal rate of COD and TOC from synthetic wastewater is 65.5% and 44.5%, respectively, and in the effluent of Alimoradian hospital is 47.7% and 38%, respectively. The reason for this difference is probably due to the presence of some resistant compounds in the real wastewater. Conclusion: This experimental study showed that the combined electrocoagulation process can be a more effective method in removing the amoxicillin antibiotic and COD from aqueous solutions and hospital wastewater.

Abstract: Since large amounts of agricultural wastes are produced in Iran and these wastes have lignocellulosic nature, the current study was performed to survey the adsorption performance of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions by means of raw and modified cantaloupe peel. The adsorbents used were characterized using techniques like scanning electron microscope (SEM), as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In this study, the effects of a few key variables including pH, reaction time, dye concentration, adsorbent dosage and temperature on the adsorption performance were investigated. Optimum values were attained at 0.04 and 0.08 g doses of modified and raw cantaloupe peel, pH of 7 after mixing for 120 and 90 minutes for raw and modified cantaloupe peel, respectively. The equilibrium information was fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich equations and the respective data for all models were tested. An increase in adsorbent dose and temperature caused the efficiency to rise. The mechanism and rate of adsorption were ascertained by analyzing the experimental data at various contact times according to traditional kinetic equations: pseudo-first-order and second order, Elovich, and intra-particle diffusion. The findings illustrated that the data accorded closely with the pseudo-second-order model. Moreover, it was found that these wastes can be applied to remove environmental pollutants, particularly methylene blue dye.

Abstract: Introduction: Azandarian industrial zone with about 40 active silica crushing units is one of the largest industrial area in Hamadan province, Iran. Materials and methods: In this study, the personal exposure of workers in the activated silica crushing units was measured. Assessing the risk of mortality due to exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) in the workplace was then estimated through measuring the personnel exposure in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 7601 method. Moreover, the mortality rate of lung cancer and risk of mortality due to exposure to RCS were estimated. Results: Based on the results, the average exposure of employees to RCS in the crushing units was in the range of 1.70 -0.14 mg/m3. As observed, the lowest and highest exposure was obtained for the admission unit and sandstone, respectively. In general, it can be inferred that in all studied occupation positions, the exposure level was higher than the recommended standard (0.25 mg/m3). As can be seen, the carcinogenic risk level for the exposed workers was in the range 2-26/1000. The results of risk assessment showed that the highest risk level was related to the stamping machine operator unit and the lowest was related to the administrative unit. Conclusion: Therefore, the workers working in high-risk units such as stamping machine operator and stone separation operator are more likely to suffer from adverse health complications such as silicosis, lung cancer and other respiratory complications.

Abstract: Among the halogenated aromatic compounds, as toxic and carcinogenic materials, 4-chloro-hydroxybenzene (4CHB) has been known as a priority pollutant that is present in industrial effluents at high concentrations. Unlike previous studies that have used nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) for activation of S2O82− in various catalytic processes, in the present study, Fe2+ was used in UV-LEDs/S2O82−/Fe2+ process to remove 4CHB from aqueous solutions. Moreover, the effects of various parameters, including contact time, solution pH, 4CHB concentration, Fe2+ concentration, and S2O82− concentration were evaluated on the process efficiency. Results showed that under optimal conditions (including contact time 90 min, 4CHB concentration 30 mg/L, S2O82− 1.27 mM, and Fe (II) concentration 0.3 mM), the removal efficiency of 4CHB and chemical oxygen demand (COD) using the UV-LEDs/S2O82−/Fe2+ process were 98% and 58%, respectively. The calculated synergistic effect (SE) for the UV-LEDs/S2O82−/Fe2+ process was obtained to be 1.88, which is higher than 1, indicating the SE of iron ions and UV-LED radiation in the activation of S2O82− and production of persulfate and hydroxyl radicals for 4CHB removal. Voltammetric experiments demonstrated that 4CHB was completely degraded, and there was no electroactive intermediate in the solution after 120 min of reaction. While longer contact time was required to mineralize 4CHB and other intermediates. In this regard, increasing the retention time to 120 min improved the COD removal efficiency up to 69%. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of Fe+2 under UV-LED irradiation can be used as an efficient, cost-effective, and practical process for 4CHB removal. Therefore, this process does not require much time and cost to produce nZVI or other iron species.

Subjects: corona virus, covid-19, training manual, hospital personnel, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: Dear Editor In recent days, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as a viral infection caused by the SARS-Cov-2 virus has become a pandemic disease and has created critical conditions worldwide [1]. According to previous studies on pathogenic viruses associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome, each virus has a specific virulence dose, which it is about 2×103-3×103 viral particles for the influenza virus. Given the emergence of the SARSCov-2 virus and no complete information on its virulence dose, it is clear that its very low virulence dose can cause its rapid spread. Regarding the effectiveness of the use of simple cloth filter masks, it can be stated that these masks provide relative safety depending on their type and structure [2]. In this regard, Blachere et al., reported that in multi-stage sampling of influenza viruses, 46% of the viruscontaining particles are trapped in the first filter layer of the sampler with a diameter of 4 microns, 49% of the viral particles are trapped in the second layer filter with a diameter 1 to 4 microns and only 1% of viruses are trapped in the last layer filter with a diameter of about 1 micron [2-4]. Coughing, sneezing, speaking, and breathing create a cloud of particles in the air with varying diameters ranging from a few millimeters to

Abstract: Introduction: It is obvious that, the organic load of wastewaters produced by food industries, especially the egg processing industry, is very high, therefore, it is necessary to use a cost efficient method with high efficiency for the treatment of this kinds of wastewater. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the electro-coagulation process for the treatment of the wastewater of egg processing industries. Methods: This experimental study was carried out on the wastewater of this industry in a batch system during three seasons (summer, autumn and winter) in 2015. Without pH adjustment, the effect of operating parameters including current density, retention time and electrode type, on COD reduction was investigated. Also, the technical and economic assessment in terms of energy and electrode consumption was studied. Results: The results showed that, COD removal efficiency increased with increasing current density as well as increasing operating time; naturally, it is necessary to determine the optimum points in order to reduce operating costs including energy and electrode consumption. Maximum removal efficiency of COD (99%) was obtained using the aluminum electrode at contact time 10 min and current density of 7mA/cm2. Also, aluminum electrode with energy consumption of 9kwh/m3 and anode consumption of 0.5 mg/cm is more economical than iron electrode. Conclusion: According to the results, in comparison to conventional methods, the treatment of the wastewater of egg processing industries using the electro-coagulation process is more effective and cost efficient.

Subjects: nanofiltration, heavy metal, lead, wastewater, electrolyte, Medicine, Medicine (General), R5-920, Psychology, BF1-990
Abstract: Introductions: Development of enormous industries has resulted in the entrance of dangerous and toxic compounds such as heavy metals into the environment polluting water bodies. Lead, which exists in most of industrial effluents, has a high contamination potential. In the present work, performance of nanofilteration (NF) membrane (NF 90) has been studied to separate lead from synthetic wastewater. Methods: The present research was conducted experimentally in a batch reactor. All of the parameters including Pb concentration (10-90 mg/L), pressure (6-18 bar) and ionic power (50-150 mg/L of NaCl) were optimized by the Methods: one at a time in 15 times and within a fixed temperature (25± 2 °C) and pH (5.4± 0.1). Also, the removal efficiency of Pb and permeate flux were detected. Results: The findings showed that the removal efficiency went up dramatically when pressure was raised from 6 to 9 bar. But 1% increase was observed in efficiency with increasing pressure from 9 to 18 bar. Besides, the efficiency decreased by 5.5% with increasing initial lead concentration. It was also found that the efficiency increased in the presence of NaCl. The highest removal efficiency (over 99%) was achieved at initial lead concentration of 10 mg/L, pressure of 18 bar and NaCl concentration of 150 mg/L. Conclusion: Since this technique can remove Pb, it can be applied in industrial applications. Of course, in the case of real wastewaters, operating parameters are required to be optimized.

Abstract: Introduction: Nowadays, owing to industrial activities heavy metals alongside chemical and physical pollutants are discharged to the environment resulting in extensive pollution of water bodies. Thus, simultaneous reduction of hexa-valent chromium and nitrate using granular zero-valent magnesium was studied. Methods: The current experimental study was conducted in 250 ml erlens on a shaker as bench scale. The effects of pH, zero-valent magnesium concentration, initial concentration of chromium and nitrate, contact time, temperature and reduction-oxidation potential were studied. In order to measure chromium and nitrate, the methods of colorimetric and cadmium reduction were applied by using direct reading. Results: The efficiency of hexa-valent chromium and nitrate removal increased with increasing magnesium concentration, initial concentration of pollutants, contact time and temperature, while it decreased when there was an increase in pH value. The highest efficiency was reached in the following conditions: pH=3, magnesium concentration=0.7 g/L, and initial chromium concentration=100 mg/L. The findings showed that the two pollutants interface each other leading to a decrease in the efficiency as the reduction of hexa-valent chromium and nitrate decreased to, respectively, 93.8 and 72% at the optimum conditions and 81 and 46% at the separate simultaneous reduction. Conclusion: Considering there are various pollutants in industrial wastewaters, the results of this study illustrated that zero-valent magnesium can be applied to remove several pollutants simultaneously.

Abstract: Tetrachloroethylene (TCE) is a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon, used in many industries. Effective and efficient treatment of industrial wastewater, containing TCE, is one of the environmental requirements. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of alkaline environments in TCE removal rate from aqueous solutions, using copper-doped pumice. This experimental study was performed, using granulated pumice stones with a mesh 4 (8.4 mm) in alkaline conditions; the samples were coated with copper. Copper-doped pumice was prepared as a bed at doses of 1, 2, and 3 g/L; the study was performed at pH ranges of 3, 7, and 11. Based on the results, copper-doped pumice showed good efficacy in TCE removal; in addition, its performance increased in alkaline conditions. Therefore, use of this stone for the treatment of wastewater, containing TCE, is effective due to its availability and low cost. Besides, it can be considered a good option, given its high efficiency in the absorption process.

Subjects: Environmental sciences, GE1-350, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: Pentachlorophenol (PCP), which is one of the resistant phenolic compounds, has been classified in the category of EPA’s priority pollutants due to its high toxicity and carcinogenic potential. Therefore, its removal from water and wastewater is very important. Various methods have been studied for removing the compound, among which advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have attracted much attention because of ease of application and high efficiency. Thus the aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the UV/ZrO2/H2O2 process, as an AOP, for PCP removal from aquatic environments. The effects of several parameters such as ultraviolet (UV) exposure time, initial PCP concentration, pH, concentration of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles, and H2O2 concentration were studied. Kinetics of the reaction was also detected. The concentration of the stated materials in the samples was determined using a spectrophotometer at 500 nm. The results showed that the highest efficiency (approximately 100%) was reached at optimized conditions of pH 6, contact time of 30 minutes, initial PCP concentration of 20 mg/L, the nanoparticles concentration of 0.1 g/L and H2O2 concentration of 14.7 mM/L. Also, the process followed the first order kinetics reaction. The obtained results illustrated that the UV/ZrO2/H2O2 process has a high ability in removing PCP.

Abstract: In the current study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) method was used to expect the emissions of different environmental pollutants through qualitative and quantitative analyses of solid wastes of Qazvin city in different final disposal methods. Therefore, four scenarios with the following properties considering physical analysis of Qazvin’s solid wastes, the current status of solid waste management in Iran, as well as the future of solid waste management of Qazvin were described. In order to detect the quantity of the solid wastes, the volume-weighted analysis was used and random sampling method was used for physical analysis. Of course, regarding the method of LCA, it contains all stages from solid wastes generation to its disposal. However, since the main aim of this study was final disposal stage, the emissions of pollutants of these stages were ignored. Next, considering the mixture of the solid waste, the amount of pollution stemming from each of final disposal methods from other cities having similar conditions was estimated. The findings of the study showed that weight combination of Qazvin solid wastes is entirely similar to that of other cities. Thus, the results of this study can be applied by decision makers around the country. In scenarios 1 and 2, emission of leachate containing high amounts of COD and BOD is high and also the highest content of nitrate, which can contaminate water and soil resulting in high costs for their management. In scenarios 3 and 4, the amounts of gaseous pollutants, particularly CO2, as well as nitrogen oxides are very high. In conclusion, the LCA methods can effectively contribute to the management of municipal solid wastes (MSW) to control environmental pollutants with least expenses.

Abstract: The discharge of wastewaters containing an untreated dye results in aesthetic problems and an increase in gases solubility, which causes light transmission inhibition into water bodies. In spite of advantages of physicochemical and biological methods, these processes produce huge amounts of sludge, toxic by-products and require several oxidant chemicals. By contrast, electrochemical processes because of their high versatility, high efficiency and eco-friendly properties are more acceptable. In the present study, the removal of azo dye Acid Red 18 and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from synthetic wastewater by monopolar (EC) process was investigated and key parameters such as operating time, current density (CD), initial pH and energy, and electrode consumption were optimized. It was found that the process had a very good efficiency in the removal of both COD and color; for the iron electrode, the maximum amounts of color and COD removal were 99.5% and 59.0%, respectively. An operating time of 45 min, pH of 7 and CD of 1.2 mA/cm2 was selected as the optimized condition. The optimization of variables is extremely crucial as it results in a decrease in costs, energy and electrode consumption. Overall, the iron electrode used less energy than the aluminum electrode and was more acceptable for use in this process due to economical reasons. The findings of UV/vis spectra illustrated that the structures of this dye were removed by the process. In comparison with traditional methods such as aerobic and anaerobic systems, the EC process is a suitable alternative for the treatment of wastewaters containing dye pollutants.

Subjects: Virus inactivation, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Airborne virus, Indoor air, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Transmission rate, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), viruses, Review Article, 010501 environmental sciences, 01 natural sciences, Air purifier, Environmental Chemistry, Humans, Pandemics, 0105 earth and related environmental sciences, SARS-CoV-2, Photocatalyst, COVID-19, General Medicine, Pollution, Virus, Environmental chemistry, Air Pollution, Indoor, Viruses, Photocatalysis, Environmental science, Corona, Narrative review
Abstract: A wide variety of methods have been applied in indoor air to reduce the microbial load and reduce the transmission rate of acute respiratory diseases to personnel in healthcare sittings. In recent months, with the occurrence of COVID-19 pandemic, the role of portable ventilation systems in reducing the load of virus in indoor air has received much attention. The present study delineates a comprehensive up-to-date overview of the available photocatalysis technologies that have been applied for inactivating and removing airborne viruses. The detection methods for identifying viral particles in air and the main mechanisms involving in virus inactivation during photocatalysis are described and discussed. The photocatalytic processes could effectively decrease the load of viruses in indoor air. However, a constant viral model may not be generalizable to other airborne viruses. In photocatalytic processes, temperature and humidity play a distinct role in the inactivation of viruses through changing photocatalytic rate. The main mechanisms for inactivation of airborne viruses in the photocatalytic processes included chemical oxidation by the reactive oxygen species (ROS), the toxicity of metal ions released from metal-containing photocatalysts, and morphological damage of viruses.

Abstract: Aerated lagoons are biological systems used for the treatment of different types of wastewaters and many operating parameters influence the performance of these systems. Thus, in the current study, an industrial aerated lagoon system was modeled in terms of the operating parameters with the goal of predicting its performances under different operating conditions in order to highlight possible bottlenecks or potential improvements. For this purpose, a neuro-evolutive approach, combining differential evolution (DE) algorithm and artificial neural networks (ANN), was employed. Two DE variants based on opposition-based learning and of chaos theory were used to determine the optimal models and to perform a process optimization. Multiple models in various configurations (simple or organized in stacks, with single or multiple outputs) were determined. The mean squared error of the best solutions were in the order of 10−4, illustrating a good agreement between the model predictions and experimental data and demonstrating the effectiveness and reliability of the developed models.

Abstract: Publisher Copyright: © 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. This is an Open Access article under the CC BY 4.0 license Background: Combating viral hepatitis is part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and WHO has put forth hepatitis B elimination targets in its Global Health Sector Strategy on Viral Hepatitis (WHO-GHSS) and Interim Guidance for Country Validation of Viral Hepatitis Elimination (WHO Interim Guidance). We estimated the global, regional, and national prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), as well as mortality and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to HBV, as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. This included estimates for 194 WHO member states, for which we compared our estimates to WHO elimination targets. Methods: The primary data sources were population-based serosurveys, claims and hospital discharges, cancer registries, vital registration systems, and published case series. We estimated chronic HBV infection and the burden of HBV-related diseases, defined as an aggregate of cirrhosis due to hepatitis B, liver cancer due to hepatitis B, and acute hepatitis B. We used DisMod-MR 2.1, a Bayesian mixed-effects meta-regression tool, to estimate the prevalence of chronic HBV infection, cirrhosis, and aetiological proportions of cirrhosis. We used mortality-to-incidence ratios modelled with spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression to estimate the incidence of liver cancer. We used the Cause of Death Ensemble modelling (CODEm) model, a tool that selects models and covariates on the basis of out-of-sample performance, to estimate mortality due to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and acute hepatitis B. Findings: In 2019, the estimated global, all-age prevalence of chronic HBV infection was 4·1% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 3·7 to 4·5), corresponding to 316 million (284 to 351) infected people. There was a 31·3% (29·0 to 33·9) decline in all-age prevalence between 1990 and 2019, with a more marked decline of 76·8% (76·2 to 77·5) in prevalence in children younger than 5 years. HBV-related diseases resulted in 555 000 global deaths (487 000 to 630 000) in 2019. The number of HBV-related deaths increased between 1990 and 2019 (by 5·9% [–5·6 to 19·2]) and between 2015 and 2019 (by 2·9% [–5·9 to 11·3]). By contrast, all-age and age-standardised death rates due to HBV-related diseases decreased during these periods. We compared estimates for 2019 in 194 WHO locations to WHO-GHSS 2020 targets, and found that four countries achieved a 10% reduction in deaths, 15 countries achieved a 30% reduction in new cases, and 147 countries achieved a 1% prevalence in children younger than 5 years. As of 2019, 68 of 194 countries had already achieved the 2030 target proposed in WHO Interim Guidance of an all-age HBV-related death rate of four per 100 000. Interpretation: The prevalence of chronic HBV infection declined over time, particularly in children younger than 5 years, since the introduction of hepatitis B vaccination. HBV-related death rates also decreased, but HBV-related death counts increased as a result of population growth, ageing, and cohort effects. By 2019, many countries had met the interim seroprevalence target for children younger than 5 years, but few countries had met the WHO-GHSS interim targets for deaths and new cases. Progress according to all indicators must be accelerated to meet 2030 targets, and there are marked disparities in burden and progress across the world. HBV interventions, such as vaccination, testing, and treatment, must be strategically supported and scaled up to achieve elimination. Funding: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Abstract: Funding: J A Loureiro acknowledges support from Base Funding UIDB/00511/2020 of the LEPABE funded by national funds through the FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC) and Scientific Employment Stimulus (FCT) [CEECINST/00049/2018]. Background: In estimating the global burden of cancer, adolescents and young adults with cancer are often overlooked, despite being a distinct subgroup with unique epidemiology, clinical care needs, and societal impact. Comprehensive estimates of the global cancer burden in adolescents and young adults (aged 15–39 years) are lacking. To address this gap, we analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019, with a focus on the outcome of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), to inform global cancer control measures in adolescents and young adults. Methods: Using the GBD 2019 methodology, international mortality data were collected from vital registration systems, verbal autopsies, and population-based cancer registry inputs modelled with mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs). Incidence was computed with mortality estimates and corresponding MIRs. Prevalence estimates were calculated using modelled survival and multiplied by disability weights to obtain years lived with disability (YLDs). Years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated as age-specific cancer deaths multiplied by the standard life expectancy at the age of death. The main outcome was DALYs (the sum of YLLs and YLDs). Estimates were presented globally and by Socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintiles (countries ranked and divided into five equal SDI groups), and all estimates were presented with corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). For this analysis, we used the age range of 15–39 years to define adolescents and young adults. Findings: There were 1·19 million (95% UI 1·11–1·28) incident cancer cases and 396 000 (370 000–425 000) deaths due to cancer among people aged 15–39 years worldwide in 2019. The highest age-standardised incidence rates occurred in high SDI (59·6 [54·5–65·7] per 100 000 person-years) and high-middle SDI countries (53·2 [48·8–57·9] per 100 000 person-years), while the highest age-standardised mortality rates were in low-middle SDI (14·2 [12·9–15·6] per 100 000 person-years) and middle SDI (13·6 [12·6–14·8] per 100 000 person-years) countries. In 2019, adolescent and young adult cancers contributed 23·5 million (21·9–25·2) DALYs to the global burden of disease, of which 2·7% (1·9–3·6) came from YLDs and 97·3% (96·4–98·1) from YLLs. Cancer was the fourth leading cause of death and tenth leading cause of DALYs in adolescents and young adults globally. Interpretation: Adolescent and young adult cancers contributed substantially to the overall adolescent and young adult disease burden globally in 2019. These results provide new insights into the distribution and magnitude of the adolescent and young adult cancer burden around the world. With notable differences observed across SDI settings, these estimates can inform global and country-level cancer control efforts.

Abstract: Among the halogenated aromatic compounds, as toxic and carcinogenic materials, 4-chloro-hydroxybenzene (4CHB) has been known as a priority pollutant that is present in industrial effluents at high concentrations. Unlike previous studies that have used nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) for activation of S2O82− in various catalytic processes, in the present study, Fe2+ was used in UV-LEDs/S2O82−/Fe2+ process to remove 4CHB from aqueous solutions. Moreover, the effects of various parameters, including contact time, solution pH, 4CHB concentration, Fe2+ concentration, and S2O82− concentration were evaluated on the process efficiency. Results showed that under optimal conditions (including contact time 90 min, 4CHB concentration 30 mg/L, S2O82− 1.27 mM, and Fe (II) concentration 0.3 mM), the removal efficiency of 4CHB and chemical oxygen demand (COD) using the UV-LEDs/S2O82−/Fe2+ process were 98% and 58%, respectively. The calculated synergistic effect (SE) for the UV-LEDs/S2O82−/Fe2+ process was obtained to be 1.88, which is higher than 1, indicating the SE of iron ions and UV-LED radiation in the activation of S2O82− and production of persulfate and hydroxyl radicals for 4CHB removal. Voltammetric experiments demonstrated that 4CHB was completely degraded, and there was no electroactive intermediate in the solution after 120 min of reaction. While longer contact time was required to mineralize 4CHB and other intermediates. In this regard, increasing the retention time to 120 min improved the COD removal efficiency up to 69%. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of Fe+2 under UV-LED irradiation can be used as an efficient, cost-effective, and practical process for 4CHB removal. Therefore, this process does not require much time and cost to produce nZVI or other iron species.

Subjects: Oxygen, Epidemiology, SARS-CoV-2, Virology, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Air Pollution, Indoor, COVID-19, Humans, Hospitals, Food Science
Abstract: Side by side air sampling was conducted using a PTFE filter membrane as dry sampler and an impinger containing a suitable culture medium as a wet sampler. Most of the samples were collected from two hospitals and few air samples were collected from private houses of non-hospitalized confirmed COVID-19 patients. The collected air samples were analyzed using RT-PCR. The results indicated that all air samples collected from the hospitals were PCR negative for SARS-CoV-2. While two of four air samples collected from the house of non-hospitalized patients were PCR positive. In this study, most of the hospitalized patients had oxygen mask and face mask, and hence this may be a reason for our negative results regarding the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in indoor air of the hospitals, while non-hospitalized patients did not wear oxygen and protective face masks in their houses. Moreover, a very high concentration of particles in the size range of droplet nuclei ( 5 µm) was identified compared to particles in the size range of respiratory droplets ( 5-10 µm) in the areas where patients were hospitalized. It can be concluded that using face mask by patients can prevent the release of viruses into the indoor air, even in hospitals with a high density of patients.

Abstract: Background. While there is a long history of measuring death and disability from injuries, modern research methods must account for the wide spectrum of disability that can occur in an injury, and must provide estimates with sufficient demographic, geographical and temporal detail to be useful for policy makers. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 study used methods to provide highly detailed estimates of global injury burden that meet these criteria. Methods. In this study, we report and discuss the methods used in GBD 2017 for injury morbidity and mortality burden estimation. In summary, these methods included estimating cause-specific mortality for every cause of injury, and then estimating incidence for every cause of injury. Non-fatal disability for each cause is then calculated based on the probabilities of suffering from different types of bodily injury experienced. Results. GBD 2017 produced morbidity and mortality estimates for 38 causes of injury. Estimates were produced in terms of incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability, cause-specific mortality, years of life lost and disability-adjusted life-years for a 28-year period for 22 age groups, 195 countries and both sexes. Conclusions. GBD 2017 demonstrated a complex and sophisticated series of analytical steps using the largest known database of morbidity and mortality data on injuries. GBD 2017 results should be used to help inform injury prevention policy making and resource allocation. We also identify important avenues for improving injury burden estimation in the future.

Abstract: Background Rigorous analysis of levels and trends in exposure to leading risk factors and quantification of their effect on human health are important to identify where public health is making progress and in which cases current efforts are inadequate. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 provides a standardised and comprehensive assessment of the magnitude of risk factor exposure, relative risk, and attributable burden of disease. Methods GBD 2019 estimated attributable mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years of life lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 87 risk factors and combinations of risk factors, at the global level, regionally, and for 204 countries and territories. GBD uses a hierarchical list of risk factors so that specific risk factors (eg, sodium intake), and related aggregates (eg, diet quality), are both evaluated. This method has six analytical steps. (1) We included 560 risk-outcome pairs that met criteria for convincing or probable evidence on the basis of research studies. 12 risk-outcome pairs included in GBD 2017 no longer met inclusion criteria and 47 risk-outcome pairs for risks already included in GBD 2017 were added based on new evidence. (2) Relative risks were estimated as a function of exposure based on published systematic reviews, 81 systematic reviews done for GBD 2019, and meta-regression. (3) Levels of exposure in each age-sex-location-year included in the study were estimated based on all available data sources using spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression, DisMod-MR 2.1, a Bayesian meta-regression method, or alternative methods. (4) We determined, from published trials or cohort studies, the level of exposure associated with minimum risk, called the theoretical minimum risk exposure level. (5) Attributable deaths, YLLs, YLDs, and DALYs were computed by multiplying population attributable fractions (PAFs) by the relevant outcome quantity for each age-sex-location-year. (6) PAFs and attributable burden for combinations of risk factors were estimated taking into account mediation of different risk factors through other risk factors. Across all six analytical steps, 30 652 distinct data sources were used in the analysis. Uncertainty in each step of the analysis was propagated into the final estimates of attributable burden. Exposure levels for dichotomous, polytomous, and continuous risk factors were summarised with use of the summary exposure value to facilitate comparisons over time, across location, and across risks. Because the entire time series from 1990 to 2019 has been re-estimated with use of consistent data and methods, these results supersede previously published GBD estimates of attributable burden. Findings The largest declines in risk exposure from 2010 to 2019 were among a set of risks that are strongly linked to social and economic development, including household air pollution; unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing; and child growth failure. Global declines also occurred for tobacco smoking and lead exposure. The largest increases in risk exposure were for ambient particulate matter pollution, drug use, high fasting plasma glucose, and high body-mass index. In 2019, the leading Level 2 risk factor globally for attributable deaths was high systolic blood pressure, which accounted for 10.8 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 9.51-12.1) deaths (19.2% [16.9-21.3] of all deaths in 2019), followed by tobacco (smoked, second-hand, and chewing), which accounted for 8.71 million (8.12-9.31) deaths (15.4% [14.6-16.2] of all deaths in 2019). The leading Level 2 risk factor for attributable DALYs globally in 2019 was child and maternal malnutrition, which largely affects health in the youngest age groups and accounted for 295 million (253-350) DALYs (11.6% [10.3-13.1] of all global DALYs that year). The risk factor burden varied considerably in 2019 between age groups and locations. Among children aged 0-9 years, the three leading detailed risk factors for attributable DALYs were all related to malnutrition. Iron deficiency was the leading risk factor for those aged 10-24 years, alcohol use for those aged 25-49 years, and high systolic blood pressure for those aged 50-74 years and 75 years and older. Interpretation Overall, the record for reducing exposure to harmful risks over the past three decades is poor. Success with reducing smoking and lead exposure through regulatory policy might point the way for a stronger role for public policy on other risks in addition to continued efforts to provide information on risk factor harm to the general public.

Abstract: Publisher's version (útgefin grein), Background Past research in population health trends has shown that injuries form a substantial burden of population health loss. Regular updates to injury burden assessments are critical. We report Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 Study estimates on morbidity and mortality for all injuries. Methods We reviewed results for injuries from the GBD 2017 study. GBD 2017 measured injury-specific mortality and years of life lost (YLLs) using the Cause of Death Ensemble model. To measure non-fatal injuries, GBD 2017 modelled injury-specific incidence and converted this to prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs). YLLs and YLDs were summed to calculate disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Findings In 1990, there were 4 260 493 (4 085 700 to 4 396 138) injury deaths, which increased to 4 484 722 (4 332 010 to 4 585 554) deaths in 2017, while age-standardised mortality decreased from 1079 (1073 to 1086) to 738 (730 to 745) per 100 000. In 1990, there were 354 064 302 (95% uncertainty interval: 338 174 876 to 371 610 802) new cases of injury globally, which increased to 520 710 288 (493 430 247 to 547 988 635) new cases in 2017. During this time, age-standardised incidence decreased non-significantly from 6824 (6534 to 7147) to 6763 (6412 to 7118) per 100 000. Between 1990 and 2017, age-standardised DALYs decreased from 4947 (4655 to 5233) per 100 000 to 3267 (3058 to 3505). Interpretation Injuries are an important cause of health loss globally, though mortality has declined between 1990 and 2017. Future research in injury burden should focus on prevention in high-burden populations, improving data collection and ensuring access to medical care., Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation OPP1152504, "Peer Reviewed"

Abstract: In this study, a new batch cell with undivided operating and processing units based on electrocoagulation was used for wastewater treatment of egg processing industries. In addition, the influence of operational parameters such as current density, retention time and type of electrode on the amount of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and total coliform (TC) removal were investigated. The results showed that COD, TSS and TC removal efficiency increases with increasing current density and retention time. Of course it should be noted that, in the final evaluation of these parameters, the operational costs, electrochemical energy consumption (EEC) and electrode consumption costs should be considered. Maximum removal of COD (99), TSS (98.5) and TC (99.99) were achieved by an aluminum electrode in 10 min retention time and a current density of 6.6 mA cm−2. In addition, the aluminum electrode with EEC of 14.2 kW h m-3 and the anode consumption of 0.53 mg cm−2 is cost efficient as compared with an iron electrode. According to results, treatment of egg processing industry wastewater with a low volume of wastewater and high amount of organic load is carried out easily by electrocoagulation process (ECP) as compared to other common methods. Moreover, the proposed reactor has a high efficiency in the treatment of industries wastewater and produces an effluent with TSS and COD lower than 5 mg L-1 which has a standard quality for discharge in the environment. © 2018 Institution of Chemical Engineers

Abstract: The aim of this study was to search for performance of Pt/Ni-Sb-SnO2 and GC/Ni-Sb-SnO2 for limiting O2 evolution and enhancing ozone production. The impact of basic variables on the coated electrodes like nucleation current density, growth current density, growth charge, nucleation charge and electrolyte type were surveyed. Furthermore, the three-dimensionality the scaling ratio and the percentage of electroactive surface of the modified GC electrodes has been studied by the fractal method. The resulting data is fully consistent with the experimental results. According to the SEM images of the electrode's surface, the surface of the modified GC electrode by Sn, Sb and Ni metals has been covered. This situation did not happen completely in Pt electrode, which is indicative of the better performance of the modified GC electrode. The results of the XRD and EDX also confirming the above findings show that unlike the modified GC electrode, Sn has not been deposited on the Pt electrode's surface.

Abstract: The wastewater of an opium pharmaceutical industry was successfully treated using a combined process of electrocoagulation/flotation (ECF), peroxone (H2O2/O3) and adsorption filter of granular activated carbon (GAC) in a three-step operation (ECF → H2O2/O3 → GAC), in a lab and semi-industrial scales. The effect of the operating parameters such as initial pH, current density, residence time, injection dose of H2O2, the ratio of H2O2/O3 and time of adsorption process was optimized in both scales. On the lab-scale, the removal efficiency of COD, Color, TDS, TSS, electrical power consumption, electrode consumption, and operating costs have been studied. In the ECF process, the maximum removal efficiencies of COD, color, TDS and TSS were 64%, 60%, 61% and 50%, respectively. The optimum pH, ozonation time, hydrogen peroxide concentration and the ratio of H2O2/O3 in the peroxone process are 8, 45 min, 900 mg/l, 0.3 H2O2/O3, respectively. After ECF and peroxone processes, the maximum removal efficiencies of COD and color increased up to 84% and 62% and after the adsorption process, the maximum removal efficiencies of COD, Color, TDS, and TSS increased up to 99.2%, 99.0, 99.0 and 99.1%, respectively. The performance of each reactor in the semi-industrial scale was also evaluated. After the treatment operation in the ECF → H2O2/O3 → GAC semi-industrial pilot reactor, the COD removal efficiency, Color, TDS and TSS of opium wastewater reached 96%, 99%, 99% and 99%, respectively. The excellent performance, as well as the low operating cost, confirmed that this integrated system is highly applicable for the advanced treatment of opium pharmaceutical industry wastewater.

Abstract: The prime objective of this research was to develop a systematic method for the removal of arsenic (III) from aqueous solutions by adsorption. Thus, montmorillonite modified with tetradecyltrimethylammo-nium bromide (TTAB) was utilized to prepare an outstanding sorbent. Subsequently, this novel material was characterized and identified completely by different techniques: X-fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), Sear’s procedure (titratin method), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Moreover, the effects of solution pH (4–12), surfactant loading rates (20– 200 cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the clay), contact time (10 min–5 h), pollutant concentration (500–3000 µg/l), temperature (15–45 °C) and adsorbent dose (0.1–1.0 g) on the adsorption process were investigated. At the optimum values, the effects of contact time on adsorption and the dependency of adsorption data to different kinetic models like pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intra-particle diffusion were assessed; it was found that the process of arsenic (III) removal followed a pseudo second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9998). Following the optimization of the variables, by fitting the experimental equilibrium to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radush-kevich models and the respective information for each model and their applicability were examined to understand the conceptual of the adsorption. According to R2 (0.9999) and maximum adsorption capacity (1.48 mg g–1), it was found that the adsorption process followed the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic study also showed the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process. © 2018 Desalination Publications. All rights reserved.

Abstract: The efficiencies of electrooxidation (EO), electrocoagulation (EC) and combined EC/EO processes for the treatment and recovery of tannery wastewater were investigated. In this way, not only the effect of retention time and current density on the COD and color removal was investigated, but also, the recovery of effluent was investigated to provide a standard quality for effluent disposal and supply for agricultural and industrial uses. The results showed that the EO process was able to eliminate COD and color by 98.9 and 99.0%, respectively. The EC process at optimum conditions had the removal efficiencies of 82.2 and 68.3% for COD and color, respectively, which could not treat the effluent completely. While the EC process produces a wastewater with COD of 1620 mg/L that needs extra treatment for agriculture and reuse, the process of EO produces a wastewater with COD of about 92 mg/L, whose its organic loading is suitable for agricultural purposes but not appropriate for industrial uses. The combined EC/EO process can produce an effluent with COD ≤ 5 mg/L that has standard quality for disposal and use for agricultural needs as well as for reuse in tannery process. Moreover, the EC/EO process has low energy consumption of 18.2 kWh/m3 as compared with EO process with energy consumption of 60 kWh/m3. The combined EC/EO process is useful for the treatment of tannery wastewater so that the effluent can be used for industrial purposes. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 2017

Abstract: Publisher's version (útgefin grein), Background In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases and injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence on trends by cause at the national level is essential. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment of published, publicly available, and contributed data on incidence, prevalence, and mortality for a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive list of diseases and injuries. Methods GBD estimates incidence, prevalence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to 369 diseases and injuries, for two sexes, and for 204 countries and territories. Input data were extracted from censuses, household surveys, civil registration and vital statistics, disease registries, health service use, air pollution monitors, satellite imaging, disease notifications, and other sources. Cause-specific death rates and cause fractions were calculated using the Cause of Death Ensemble model and spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression. Cause-specific deaths were adjusted to match the total all-cause deaths calculated as part of the GBD population, fertility, and mortality estimates. Deaths were multiplied by standard life expectancy at each age to calculate YLLs. A Bayesian meta-regression modelling tool, DisMod-MR 2.1, was used to ensure consistency between incidence, prevalence, remission, excess mortality, and cause-specific mortality for most causes. Prevalence estimates were multiplied by disability weights for mutually exclusive sequelae of diseases and injuries to calculate YLDs. We considered results in the context of the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite indicator of income per capita, years of schooling, and fertility rate in females younger than 25 years. Uncertainty intervals (UIs) were generated for every metric using the 25th and 975th ordered 1000 draw values of the posterior distribution. Findings Global health has steadily improved over the past 30 years as measured by age-standardised DALY rates. After taking into account population growth and ageing, the absolute number of DALYs has remained stable. Since 2010, the pace of decline in global age-standardised DALY rates has accelerated in age groups younger than 50 years compared with the 1990-2010 time period, with the greatest annualised rate of decline occurring in the 0-9-year age group. Six infectious diseases were among the top ten causes of DALYs in children younger than 10 years in 2019: lower respiratory infections (ranked second), diarrhoeal diseases (third), malaria (fifth), meningitis (sixth), whooping cough (ninth), and sexually transmitted infections (which, in this age group, is fully accounted for by congenital syphilis; ranked tenth). In adolescents aged 10-24 years, three injury causes were among the top causes of DALYs: road injuries (ranked first), self-harm (third), and interpersonal violence (fifth). Five of the causes that were in the top ten for ages 10-24 years were also in the top ten in the 25-49-year age group: road injuries (ranked first), HIV/AIDS (second), low back pain (fourth), headache disorders (fifth), and depressive disorders (sixth). In 2019, ischaemic heart disease and stroke were the top-ranked causes of DALYs in both the 50-74-year and 75-years-and-older age groups. Since 1990, there has been a marked shift towards a greater proportion of burden due to YLDs from non-communicable diseases and injuries. In 2019, there were 11 countries where non-communicable disease and injury YLDs constituted more than half of all disease burden. Decreases in age-standardised DALY rates have accelerated over the past decade in countries at the lower end of the SDI range, while improvements have started to stagnate or even reverse in countries with higher SDI. Interpretation As disability becomes an increasingly large component of disease burden and a larger component of health expenditure, greater research and development investment is needed to identify new, more effective intervention strategies. With a rapidly ageing global population, the demands on health services to deal with disabling outcomes, which increase with age, will require policy makers to anticipate these changes. The mix of universal and more geographically specific influences on health reinforces the need for regular reporting on population health in detail and by underlying cause to help decision makers to identify success stories of disease control to emulate, as well as opportunities to improve.

Abstract: In this study, the Mn 3 O 4 nanoparticles ( Mn 3 O 4 NPs) were synthesized by chemical precipitation for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized Mn 3 O 4 catalysts were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To investigate the parameters affecting the methylene blue (MB) decolorization process (pH, dye concentration, Mn 3 O 4 dosage, and PMS concentration), and optimization of them, response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) was used. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the studied process in removing organic matter and intermediate products, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) analyzes were performed in optimal conditions, respectively. Maximum MB decolorization (86.71%) was achieved at optimal condition, pH = 4, Mn 3 O 4 = 0.12 g, PMS = 0.94 g, initial MB dye concentration = 62 mg/L at a fixed time 20 min. Experiment results showed that PMS generates sulfate radicals ( S O 4 ∙ - ) in the presence of Mn 3 O 4 NPs, which has a high ability to decompose refractor organic contaminants. According to the results, the highest catalytic performance of the MB decolorization mechanism is typically related to the synergistic effects of Mn 3 O 4 and PMS.

Abstract: Introduction: It is obvious that, the organic load of wastewaters produced by food industries, especially the egg processing industry, is very high, therefore, it is necessary to use a cost efficient method with high efficiency for the treatment of this kinds of wastewater. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the electro-coagulation process for the treatment of the wastewater of egg processing industries. Methods: This experimental study was carried out on the wastewater of this industry in a batch system during three seasons (summer, autumn and winter) in 2015. Without pH adjustment, the effect of operating parameters including current density, retention time and electrode type, on COD reduction was investigated. Also, the technical and economic assessment in terms of energy and electrode consumption was studied. Results: The results showed that, COD removal efficiency increased with increasing current density as well as increasing operating time; naturally, it is necessary to determine the optimum points in order to reduce operating costs including energy and electrode consumption. Maximum removal efficiency of COD (99%) was obtained using the aluminum electrode at contact time 10 min and current density of 7mA/cm2. Also, aluminum electrode with energy consumption of 9kwh/m3 and anode consumption of 0.5 mg/cm is more economical than iron electrode. Conclusion: According to the results, in comparison to conventional methods, the treatment of the wastewater of egg processing industries using the electro-coagulation process is more effective and cost efficient.

46. Cadmium Removal by using Pumice Modified with Iron Nanoparticles from Aqueous Solutions

Author: Ghasem Azarian
Subjects: General Environmental Science
Abstract: In this study, the removal of cadmium by using pumice coated with iron nanoparticles (INPs) from synthetic wastewater was investigated. The effects of parameters influencing adsorption: contact time (10-20 min), pH (3-9), initial cadmium concentration (25-125 mg l-1) and adsorbent dose (2-10 g l-1) were studied. The pumice stone used in this research was, first, crashed and then sieved with 20 mesh standard sieves (0.85 mm); finally, it was coated with INPs. An atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used to measure cadmium contents and isotherm models and adsorption kinetics were studied. The results showed the adsorption process of cadmium reached equilibrium at contact time of 80 min. With increasing pH solution, the efficiency enhanced which peaked at pH 7-8. Cadmium concentration increase resulted in a decrease in efficiency, whereas adsorbent dose increase improved it. Equilibrium data of adsorption followed isotherms models: Langmuir and Freundlich. The highest removal efficiency and adsorption capacity were, respectively, 83% and 17.27 mg g-1. Furthermore, absorption kinetics is better described by the pseudo second-order model. According to the results obtained, pumice coated with INPs is an effective adsorbent and can be introduced as a suitable option in practical applications

Abstract: Introductions: Development of enormous industries has resulted in the entrance of dangerous and toxic compounds such as heavy metals into the environment polluting water bodies. Lead, which exists in most of industrial effluents, has a high contamination potential. In the present work, performance of nanofilteration (NF) membrane (NF 90) has been studied to separate lead from synthetic wastewater. Methods: The present research was conducted experimentally in a batch reactor. All of the parameters including Pb concentration (10-90 mg/L), pressure (6-18 bar) and ionic power (50-150 mg/L of NaCl) were optimized by the Methods: one at a time in 15 times and within a fixed temperature (25± 2 °C) and pH (5.4± 0.1). Also, the removal efficiency of Pb and permeate flux were detected. Results: The findings showed that the removal efficiency went up dramatically when pressure was raised from 6 to 9 bar. But 1% increase was observed in efficiency with increasing pressure from 9 to 18 bar. Besides, the efficiency decreased by 5.5% with increasing initial lead concentration. It was also found that the efficiency increased in the presence of NaCl. The highest removal efficiency (over 99%) was achieved at initial lead concentration of 10 mg/L, pressure of 18 bar and NaCl concentration of 150 mg/L. Conclusion: Since this technique can remove Pb, it can be applied in industrial applications. Of course, in the case of real wastewaters, operating parameters are required to be optimized.

Abstract: Providing clean and safe drinking water by point of use (POU) disinfection methods has become a critical issue, especially in crises and epidemics. In this study, antimony-and nickel-doped tin oxide electrode (Ni–Sb–SnO2) was employed as an electrode for electro-catalytic disinfection of surface water. The synthetized electrodes were characterized using scanning electron microscope, linear sweep voltammetry and X-Ray diffraction techniques. The results revealed that the highest electrochemical disinfection efficiency was achieved by the Ni–Sb–SnO2 electrode under weak acidic conditions and its performance decreased with increasing pH towards alkaline environment. Based on the results, total coliform (TC) and fecal coliform (FC) were completely removed at current density of 0.67 mA cm−2. Moreover, the electrochemical disinfection of microorganisms showed that the process efficiency was directly proportional to increasing time and at 0.6 C cm−2 of charge passed, 3-log removal of the both indicators occurred after 15 min. The highest removal efficiency of TC and FC was also achieved at 8 mmol of NaCl concentration at

Abstract: Moquette-manufacturing industry produces wastewaters containing high-concentrations of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), which is highly toxic and can inhibit the activity of microorganisms in biological wastewater treatment plants. In the present study, a new combined electrocoagulation-electroflotation process was used to treat the high organic load wastewater of the moquette manufacturing industry. For this purpose, the efficiency was evaluated on the basis of the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solid (TSS), PVAc, total dissolved solid (TDS) and electrical conductivity (EC) from the synthetic and real wastewater. The results showed that process efficiency increased with increasing current density (CD) and retention time and with decreasing electrode distant. Under the optimum conditions (electrode distance =1 cm, reaction time = 20 min, pHo = 7, CD = 22 mA/cm2), the removal efficiencies of COD, TSS, PVAc, TDS and EC for the synthetic and actual wastewater were 84.8, 81.9, 91.6, 68.7 and 76.4 and 93.9, 92.9, 95.9, 90.5 and 85 %, respectively. In addition, the iron electrode is preferred to the aluminum electrode because of its higher efficiency, lower cost and lower electrical energy consumption. It was found that this process facilitated the floatation and compaction of the flocs at the surface of the electrochemical reactor and finally eliminated the need for the sedimentation/flotation unit.

Abstract: In this work, the removal of cephalexin (CEX) from aqueous solutions using the anodic oxidation process was studied and four significant independent variables including contact time, pH, current density (CD), and initial CEX concentration were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) involving a five-level central composite design (CCD). The degradation mechanisms and mineralization pathway of CEX were also proposed. To determine the removal and mineralization rate, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) were determined. The optimum conditions were experimentally determined as follows: reaction time 52.68 min, pH 5.00, CD 44.69 mA/cm2 and initial CEX concentration 75.88 mg/L. The predicted and experimental removal efficiencies were obtained 100 and 97.38%, respectively. A good agreement between the experimental and predicted values was also observed with coefficient of determination of 0.95. Moreover, under the optimal conditions, 79.64 and 73.25% efficiencies were obtained for COD reduction and TOC removal, respectively, indicating the effectiveness of the developed method. Regarding the relatively low electrical energy consumption (41.28 kWh/kg COD), it can be claimed that the developed method is preferable to other processes in terms of energy consumption.
