ABSTRACTObjective: The quality of drinking water is important for public safety and quality of life. Thus, providing every person on earth safe drinking waterseems to be the biggest challenge in front of mankind. For this purpose, here we have investigated the fluoride removal capacity of java plum.Methods: In this study, removal of fluoride from industrial wastewater using fixed-bed reactor adsorption techniques by java plum seed (Syzygiumcumini) was investigated. Fixed-bed column experiments were carried out for different bed depths, influent fluoride concentrations, and various flowrates. The Thomas model and bed depth service time model were applied to the experimental results. Both model predictions verify the experimentaldata for all the process parameters studied, indicating that the models were suitable for java plum (S. cumini) seeds (Biosorbent) fix-bed columndesign.Results: The empty bed residence time (EBRT) model optimizes the EBRT, and the Thomas model showed that the adsorption capacity is stronglydependent on the flow rate, initial fluoride concentration, and bed depth and is greater under conditions of a lower concentration of fluoride, lowerflow rate, and higher bed depth.Conclusion: The experimental results were encouraging and indicate that java plum (S. cumini) seed is a feasible option to use as a biosorbent toremove fluoride in a fixed bed adsorption process.Keywords: Adsorption, Column experiment, Thomas model, Empty bed residence time, Java plum.

A new filtering material has been tested for its biofiltration performance for the treatment of air contaminated with the three isomers of xylene. The biofilter, operated at an empty bed residence time of 68 s and for xylene concentrations up to 6.7 g·m–3, allowed a xylene load and reduction of more than 92% for concentrations up to 2 g·m–3, and more than 65% for concentrations less than 6.7 g·m–3. The maximum xylene elimination capacity is of 236 g·m–3·h–1. In general, the removal efficiency of meta-xylene is the highest whereas the removal efficiency of ortho-xylene is the lowest. At high xylene concentration, the increase of biodegradation intensity leads to the accumulation of a voluminous biofilm around the filtering particles, causing the clogging of the filter bed, the progressive retention of the nutritive solution in the superior parts of the bed, and the drying of the inferior parts of the bed. These observations have showed that a biofilter operating at high elimination capacities requires a meticulous control of the humidity of the filtering bed and a regular draining of the biomass excess. Key words: biofiltration, xylene, ortho, meta, and para isomers, carbon dioxide, biofilm, pressure drop, biomass excess.[Journal translation]

ABSTRACTObjective: Here, we aimed for the treatment of fluoride bearing contaminated water using simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation in a biocolumnreactor by using java plum seed.Methods: We immobilized Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria on the java plum seed in the bio-column reactor. The water used contained a sample offluoride with concentration of 20 mg/L. The bed depth service time design model and empty bed residence time were used to analyze the performance thebio-column. We examined and observed closely the effect of different operating parameters such as flow rate of bed depth and initial concentration on thissimplified bio-column reactor design model. Desorption experiment was conducted to evaluate the possibilities of regeneration and to reutilize of media.Results: We observed that the bio-column reactor is capable to reduce the concentration of the pollutants in the effluent water below their permissiblelimit. Reduction in DO along the bed height of the reactor was also observed, which supports the aerobic nature of the bacteria.Conclusion: The experimental results were encouraging and indicate that java plum (Syzygium cumini) seed is a feasible option to use as a biosorbentto remove fluoride in the bio-column reactor.Keywords: Bio-reactor, Simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation, Flow rate, Acinetobacter baumannii MTCC 11451, Physicochemical adsorption,Bed depth service time, Empty bed residence time.

A hydrodynamic study and an ethanol biodegradation were carried out in an experimental biofilter using wood bark as packing material. The Comiti and Renaud model was used in order to determine, from pressure drop measurements, the tortuosity and the dynamic specific surface area of the packing material, and its structural parameters, considering the wall effect corrections. The pressure drop was used as a qualitative measure of the growth of native wood bark microorganisms. The aerobic biodegradation with a concentration of 1 g of ethanol m–3 was studied. An air superficial velocity of 100 m h–1, an air flow rate of 20 m3 h–1 and an empty bed residence time of 37 seconds with a true residence time of 19.5 s were the operational conditions in the biofilter. The ethanol concentration, pH, temperature and the pressure drop at different heights of the biofilter were measured. Performances of this process were presented.
