Use of Chitosan as Coagulant to Treat Wastewater from Milk Processing Plant

Chitosan is a natural high molecular polymer made from crab, shrimp and lobster shells. When used as coagulant in water treatment, not like aluminum and synthetic polymers, chitosan has no harmful effect on human health, and the disposal of waste from seafood processing industry can also be solved. In this study the wastewater from the system of cleaning in place (CIP) containing high content of fat and protein was coagulated using chitosan, and the fat and the protein can be recycled. Chitosan is a natural material, the sludge cake from the coagulation after dehydrated could be used directly as feed supplement, therefore not only saving the spent on waste disposal but also recycling useful material. The result shows that the optimal result was reached under the condition of pH 7 with the coagulant dosage of 25 mg/l. The analysis of cost-effective shows that no extra cost to use chitosan as coagulant in the wastewater treatment, and it is an expanded application for chitosan.     

Recovery of coagulant from water supply plant sludge and its effect on clarification

Spent coagulant in water supply plant sludge was extracted with H₂SO₄ and the efficiency of the reused coagulant was studied. The optimum pH values for coagulant extraction and clarification with the reused coagulant were 3.0–4.0 and about 6, respectively. In treating raw influent obtained from a sewage treatment plant and wastewater from a coastal landfill site, the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen, and total phosphorous with the recovered coagulant was higher than that with commercial aluminum sulfate or polyaluminum chloride. In addition, the sludge settling properties, the extra sludge mass formation, the supernatant quality, and the cost of reagents were also studied. The coagulant recovered from water supply plant sludge by H₂SO₄ extraction could be successfully reused for the clarification of domestic and food industry wastewaters.

Recovery of Chromium(III) from Tannery Wastewater by Nanoparticles and Whiskers of Chitosan

Chitosan, its nanoparticles and whiskers present an excellent capacity to complex chromium ions. However, this phenomenon is influenced by different parameters. In our search, we determined the appropriate range of pH to form chitosan–Cr(III), nanoparticles Cr(III) and whiskers–Cr(III) complex. We studied also the influence of chromium concentration and nature of chitosan-based materials on complexation process. Our main aim is approximate the optimal conditions to remove chromium(III) from tanning bath, recuperated from tannery wastewater of Marrakech in Morocco. However, the results of adsorption kinetic in tannery wastewater revealed that chitosan, its nanoparticles, whiskers and biocomposites are good sorbent of chromium as well, even if the adsorbed quantity is less compared to chromium solution. Although, according to ICP-OES analysis in this real effluent, nanoparticles are the best complexing ligand, after 24 h of contact nanoparticles can remove 70% of chromium from this tannery wastewater.

Mechanical and Barrier Properties of Biodegradable Films Made from Chitosan and Poly (Lactic Acid) Blends

Biodegradable film blends of chitosan with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were prepared by solution mixing and film casting. The main goal of these blends is to improve the water vapor barrier of chitosan by blending it with a hydrophobic biodegradable polymer from renewable resources. Mechanical properties of obtained films were assessed by tensile test. Thermal properties, water barrier properties, and water sensitivity were studied by differential scanning calorimeter analysis, water vapor permeability measurements, and surface-angle contact tests, respectively. The incorporation of PLA to chitosan improved the water barrier properties and decreased the water sensitivity of chitosan film. However, the tensile strength and elastic modulus of chitosan decreased with the addition of PLA. Mechanical and thermal properties revealed that chitosan and PLA blends are incompatible, consistent with the results of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis that showed the absence of specific interaction between chitosan and PLA.     

Organic and nitrogen removal from landfill leachate in aerobic granular sludge sequencing batch reactors

Granule sequencing batch reactors (GSBR) were established for landfill leachate treatment, and the COD removal was analyzed kinetically using a modified model. Results showed that COD removal rate decreased as influent ammonium concentration increasing. Characteristics of nitrogen removal at different influent ammonium levels were also studied. When the ammonium concentration in the landfill leachate was 366 mg L⁻¹, the dominant nitrogen removal process in the GSBR was simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND). Under the ammonium concentration of 788 mg L⁻¹, nitrite accumulation occurred and the accumulated nitrite was reduced to nitrogen gas by the shortcut denitrification process. When the influent ammonium increased to a higher level of 1105 mg L⁻¹, accumulation of nitrite and nitrate lasted in the whole cycle, and the removal efficiencies of total nitrogen and ammonium decreased to only 35.0% and 39.3%, respectively. Results also showed that DO was a useful process controlling parameter for the organics and nitrogen removal at low ammonium input.     

Study on the Physico-mechanical Properties of Photo-cured Chitosan Films with Oligomer and Acrylate Monomer

Chitosan films were prepared from dried prawn shell via chitin and then tensile properties like tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (Eb) of the films were evaluated. Six formulations were developed using methyl methacylate (MMA) monomer and aliphatic urethane diacrylate oligomer (M-1200) in methanol along with photoinitator (Darocur-1664). Then the films were soaked in the formulations and irradiated under UV radiation at different doses for the improvement of physico-mechanical properties of chitosan films. The cured films were characterized by measuring TS, Eb, polymer loading (PL), water absorption and gel content properties. The formulation containing 43% MMA and 15% oligomer in methanol solution showed the best performance at 20th UV pass for 4 min soaking time.

Chitin and Chitosan Extracted from Shrimp Waste Using Fish Proteases Aided Process: Efficiency of Chitosan in the Treatment of Unhairing Effluents

Extraction and depolymerisation of chitin and chitosan from shrimp waste material was carried out using fish proteases aided process. A high deproteinization level (80 %) was recorded with an Enzyme/Substrate ratio of 10 U/mg. The demineralization of shrimp waste was completely achieved within 6 h at room temperature in HCl 1.25 M, and the residual content of calcium in chitin was below 0.01 %. The degree of N-acetylation, calculated from the ¹³C CP/MAS-NMR spectrum, was 85 %. The chitin obtained was converted to chitosan by N-deacetylation. X-ray diffraction patterns also indicated two characteristics crystalline peaks approximately at 10° and 20° (2θ). Chitosan was then evaluated in the treatment of unhairing effluents from the tanning industry. A result showed that chitosan as a coagulant has good performance in alkaline pH and at concentration of 0.5 g/L. Within these conditions, chitosan could decrease turbidity value, total suspended solids (89 % at 1.5 g/L), biological oxygen demand (33.3 % at 1.5 g/L) and chemical oxygen demand (58.7 % at 1.5 g/L).
