Abstract
Existing conventional wastewater treatment methods need a new approach for treating complex next generation pollutants such as micropollutants, pharmaceuticals pollutants, biological pollutants, particulate matter, ozone, lead, sulphur dioxide and many others. Moreover, conventional methods of wastewater treatment such as adsorption, photolysis and many others are not feasible on a large scale. Different cavitation technologies alone and coupled with other advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are used for treatment of waste water from different sources. The present paper focuses primarily on the review of papers relating to industrial wastewater using ultrasonic and hydrodynamic cavitation for organic and inorganic pollutants. A critical study of the designs of several hydrodynamic cavitation reactors (HCRs) that have been utilised to treat industrial effluents has been presented in this paper. There has also been a discussion of the effects of operational parameters such as dilution, intake pressure, ultrasonic power, pH, and operating temperature. Application of cavitation technologies have been discussed with respect to different sources, cavitation technology used combined with other technology and their impact on its property in terms of Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) reduction. An analysis has been conducted on economic aspects for the treatment of industrial wastewater.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
