    Background and Aims: Humic Acid (HA) is the most important combination of water humic materials. Removal of this compound leads to decreased production of chlorination by-products. This study set out with the aim of assessing the efficiency of O3, UV and UV/O3 in a plug-flow reactor in order to remove HA from water.Materials and Methods: The removal efficiency was assessed at three distinct steps through raw synthetic water samples containing specific concentrations of HA and treated water measurements of humic acid. Experiments were carried out in a laboratory scale plug-flow combined UV and ozonation system. The first question in this study sought to determine the compounded impact of ozone and UV on HA removal. The subsequent second and third questions in this research were to determine the separate effects of ozone andUV on the removal of target compound.Results: HA removal was slightly augmented in simultaneous presence of UV and ozone reaching 74.7% at initial HA concentration of 15 mg/L, pH 8, and reaction time of 25 min. However, on the question of separate effects of ozone and UV, this study found thatthe removal rate of HA, at similar situations, were 69% and 21%, respectively.Conclusion: Integrated application of UV and ozone outperformed conventional separate use of them in terms of HA removal. Higher removal efficiencies which achieved during ozone treatment, as compared with UV, might be due to higher oxidation power of ozone and OH radicals.Key words: Advanced Oxidation, UV, Ozonation, Humic Aci

    Background and Aims: Pharmaceuticals are considered as emerging environmental pollutants due to their continuous input and persistence in the aquatic ecosystem even at low concentrations. This work focuses on the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from Azithromycin contaminated synthetic aqueous solution through proxy electrocoagulation process.Materials and Methods: A batch method was used for removal of Azithromycin from water. The parameters affecting on the proxy electrocoagulation of antibiotics and subsequently COD removal efficiency such as reaction time, concentration of hydrogen peroxide, current density and pH of the solution was investigated.Results: The proxy electrocoagulation process achieved a very high COD removal efficiency (95.6%) with reaction time of 60 min, current density of 20 mA/cm-2 and at pH 3 in the presence of 1.5 mg/L of hydrogen peroxide, producing cleaned water.Conclusion: Although economically should be investigated compared to other methods, the studied process was useful in terms of Azithromycin removal from aqueous solutions.چكيده زمينه و هدف: ورود داروها و باقیمانده‌های دارویی به محیط‌های آبی و پایداری آنها در محیط به عنوان یک مساله مهم در محیط زیست مطرح می‌باشد. هدف از این تحقیق بررسی کارایی فرآیند پراکسی الکتروکواگولاسیون در حذف COD آنتی‌بیوتیک آزیترومایسین از فاضلاب می‌باشد. مواد و روش‌ها: این مطالعه در راكتور در مقیاس آزمایشگاهی و روي نمونه‌های سنتتیک از آنتی‌بیوتیک آزیترومایسین انجام گرفت. در اين تحقيق تاثير پارامترهایی چون زمان واكنش، غلظت پراکسید هیدروژن، دانسیته جریان و pH بر راندمان حذف COD آنتی بیوتیک آزیترومایسین مورد بررسی قرار گرفت.  يافته‌ها: نتايج نشان دهنده تاثير غلظت اوليه آنتي بيوتيك، pH، دانسیته جريان، زمان واكنش و غلظت پراكسيد هيدروژن بر راندمان حذف بود. بیشترین راندمان حذف COD، 6/95 درصد، با غلظت 100 میلی گرم بر لیتر آنتی‌بیوتیک آزیترومایسین در زمان واكنش 60 دقیقه، دانسیته جریان 20 میلی آمپر بر سانتی متر مربع، pH برابر 3 و غلظت 5/1 میلی گرم بر لیتر پراکسید هیدروژن، به دست آمد. نتيجه گيري: روش پراكسي الكتروگواگولاسيون در حذف آنتي بيوتيك آزيترومايسين از فاضلاب كارآئي مناسبي دارد. گرچه از نظر اقتصادي بايد بررسي بيشتري در مقايسه با روش‌هاي ديگر صورت گيرد. &nbsp

    In recent years, contamination of water resources, with pollutants such as nitrate and nitrite, has significantly increased. These compounds can have harmful effects on human health, especially children such as methemoglobinemia. The main objective of this study was to measure the concentration of nitrate and nitrite and its health-risk assessment in the rivers entering Taham dam in Zanjan. USEPA Method was used to assess the health-risk of nitrate and nitrite. According to the obtained results, the concentration of nitrate and nitrite was in the range of 0.51–14.93 mg/l and 0.001–0.061 mg/l, respectively. According to the results, the mean of the CDI for nitrate and nitrite was 9.52*10−2 and 3.63*10−4 mg/kg/day, respectively. Furthermore, the mean HI for nitrate and nitrite was 5.97*10−2 and 3.63*10−3, respectively. The concentration of nitrate and nitrite in rivers was lower than the WHO and Iran guidelines. Based on the results, the HI value in all samples was less than 1 which indicating the non-carcinogenic effects of nitrate and nitrite in these rivers. Keywords: Nitrate, Nitrite, Water quality, Da
