Carwash wastewater (CWW) can be a significant source of environmental pollution due to the diversity and high concentrations of contaminants it contains. This toxic wastewater can contain several different heavy metals that if left untreated, can ent...
Carwash wastewater (CWW) contains grease, oil, hydrocarbon residues, heavy metals, and surfactants, posing severe impacts to the environment and human health. Accordingly, various physical, chemical, and biological processes for CWW treatment have be...
In the present study, oily wastewater generated during car washing was separated using ultrafiltration (UF). Wastewater was collected from the settling tank of two manual car washes. In addition to pollutants removed from cars, such wastewater contai...
In recent years, people’s environmental awareness has increased. The high density of the urban population has caused a considerable increase in the demand for car washing services, which has created large quantities of car wash wastewater. The...
Vehicle washing facilities (VWFs) consume substantial amounts of potable water and produce wastewater containing pollutants such as hydrocarbons, detergents, and pathogens, presenting significant environmental and operational challenges. This study e...
Car wash wastewater (CWW) poses a significant environmental danger due to its high chemical oxygen demand (COD), heavy metals, and anionic surfactant complex composition, all of which can have an adverse effect on the environment. Even with the exten...
The present work aimed to evaluate whether the use of an innovative method such as hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) is suitable for the simultaneous removal of surfactants of different chemical natures (non-ionic, anionic and cationic) from actual car wa...
An ultrafiltration (UF) installation was used to separate the actual wastewater from a car wash. Following these studies, the plant was washed several times; however, severe membrane fouling was observed during the filtration of sterile deionised (DI...
With the increase in transportation demand and facilities in this era and the significant improvement in people’s living standards, the annual production and sales of vehicles are steadily increasing. With this, the issues of car wash wastewate...
Sludge from carwash wastewater treatment plants has been evaluated as substitute for lime paste, as well as its behavior in cement mortars. Dry sludge waste was used with (CSlud) and without (USlud) pretreatment and have been characterized. The paste...
Huge amounts of fresh water are used in the concrete industry every day. The quantity and quality of water play important roles in determining the quality, strength, setting time, and durability of cement-based materials (CBMs), such as paste, mortar...
Ultrafiltration (UF) is increasingly used in the food industry and for wastewater treatment and water reuse. Knowledge of the membrane properties that stabilise during the initial period of module operation in an industrial plant is essential for des...
This paper presents an eco-friendly, low-impact development (LID) approach, developed and implemented at a car wash site for a cleaner and greener environment. In this approach, the contaminated water discharged after car washing is treated as it is...
