Acidic mine drainage (AMD) contains large amounts of heavy metal ions and SO42, which can pose serious risks to human and environmental health. Anaerobic bioreactors are considered to be suitable methods for the treatment of acidic effluents due to some advantages such as the need for a small area, easy control, and simultaneous removal of […]
Caustic soda is a substance used for sweetening hydrocarbon products in oil refinery, gas and petrochemical units. The caustic soda-generated salts are increasingly formed during the process of removing impurities like mercaptans, sulfides and nitrates, which finally leave process system through spent caustic discharge. Spent caustic discharge into environment is prohibited due to the presence […]
