Balıkesir Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Çevre Mühendisliği Ana Bilim Dalı, Kağıt endüstrisi, birçok gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkenin ekonomisinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, suyu kirleten endüstrilerin başlıcılarından bir tanesi kağıt endüstrisidir. Kağıt endüstrisi yüksek su tüketimi ve üretim sonucu oluşan düşük biyolojik olarak parçalanamayan ve yüksek askıda katı madde miktarı ile tanımlanır. Kağıt sanayi atık sularının arıtımında biyolojik arıtma sıklıkla kullanılır. Hem biyolojik parçalanabilirliğinin çok düşük olması hem de atık suyun geri kazanımı için ileri arıtımın şart olduğu görülmektedir. Gelişmiş arıtma süreçleri arasında, membran teknolojisi bu amaçla kağıt fabrikası atık sularını arıtmak için iyi bir alternatif sunar. Bu çalışmada, membran süreçlerinin ham atık suya direkt uygulanması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Balıkesir Varaka Kağıt sanayi fabrikasından alınan atık suya seramik membran modülü entegre edilmiş çapraz akış ultrafiltrasyon ünitesinde direkt arıtımı uygulanmıştır. Askıda katı madde giderimi açısından çapraz akışlı membran sistemleri oldukça başarılı olabilmektedir. Giriş KOİ konsantrasyonu 5756 mg/L AKM konsantrasyonu ise 2233,3 mg/L olan atık su 200 nm por çapı ve 0,043314 m2 yüzey alanına sahip membran ünitesinden çapraz akış modda süzülmüştür. Sistemden %45 ortalama KOİ giderimi %100 AKM giderimi elde edilmiştir. 2,32 m/sn çapraz akış hız, 3 bar transmembran basıncı altında 30 ºC sıcaklıkta ve 1000 mg/L AKM konsantrasyonunda 415 L/m2 *sa limit akı değerine ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada membran sisteminin tek başına oldukça yüksek verimde KOİ giderimi yaptığı tespit edilmiştir., Paper industry plays an important role in the economy of many developing and developed countries. Besides that, paper industry is one of the heavy water polluting industries. Paper industry is defined with high water consumption and high suspended solids amount high and non-biodegradable content. Biological wastewater treatment is used frequently for paper industry waste water. For both facts that biological degradability is too low and for of wastewater, advanced treatment is a pre-condition. Among all the treatment processes developed, membrane technology is a good alternative to treat paper industry waste water. In this study, a direct application of membrane processes has been applied to raw paper industry wastewater. Ceramic membrane module has been used on wastewater received from Balikesir Varaka Paper industry factory and direct filtration has been made on cross flow ultrafiltration unit. In terms of suspended solids cross flow membrane systems can be very successful. Raw wastewater (COD 5756 mg/L and SS 2233,3 mg/L) has been filtered in cross flow membrane module (200 nm por dimension and 0,044314 m2 membrane surface area). 45% average COD and 100% SS removal has been achieved from the system. At 2,32 m/second cross flow speed, under 3 bar transmembrane pressure, 30 ºC wastewater temperature and 1000 mg/L SS concentration, 415 L/m2 *h limit flux value has been reached. In this study it has been determined that membrane systems had a rather high performance of COD removal alone.

The growing accumulation of emerging contaminants in the environment can cause direct and indirect water pollution that puts human lives at risk. The fact that these contaminants are not or cannot be eliminated from the municipal water utilities, poses a significant concern. Researchers are currently pulling massive attention to improve existing technologies, develop new strategies and provide environmentally and durable solutions to mitigate water contamination problems. Adsorption and photodegradation are two of the most sustainable technologies that are used in water purification. These technologies have many advantages because of the economic, simple and easily operated designs needed to treat wastewater. Within these applications, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are playing a significant role as novel class of porous materials characterized by a crystalline structure. MOFs are considered good candidates to be employed in wastewater treatment technologies because of the tunability of their features. The scope of this review article is to provide a comprehensive description of the recent studies published in the literature about the adsorptive and photocatalytic use of MOFs for the removal of organic emerging contaminants from wastewater. Furthermore, this study briefly highlights the synthesis technologies of MOFs. Finally, future perspective, and challenges associated with MOFs large scale production are discussed.

Wool and wastewaters from scouring can be a mixed blessing – a useful technological raw material or an environmental problem. If wool is scoured with no control, as the case most often is in Croatia, the wastewater released could endanger the environmental stability of the existing water systems. Since the interest has been growing recently for processing domestic wool, which also presents a considerable hazard of polluting water because of unskilled scouring and uncontrolled wastewater release into the natural water flows, we have organized investigations aimed at determining potentially dangerous ecological loads on the Croatian water systems, caused by scouring domestic wool. The results obtained indicate that improper disposal of the wool and/or uncontrolled release of wastewater from scouring present a considerable environmental hazard. We have concluded that impacts on the environment of scouring domestic wool in Croatia are the same as impacts on the environment obtained by normal functioning of a town of 1700– 2000 inhabitants.
