        Pulp and paper mills consider as a major wastewater producer industries in order to cellulosic pollution and also consuming high amount of water during the process.The wastewater treatment process is complicated because these kinds of effluents contain suspended & colloidal impurities and color & odor; so using chemical coagulants via the Jar test can be an appropriate alternative to remove the contaminants. In this research, different concentrations of Alum, PAC and FeCl3 coagulants were tested to reduce the contamination load of the effluent from three important major parts of fiber wastewater producers; that, according to the results FeCl3 was reported as the best chemical coagulants which removed 61%, 74/05 % and 58% of the COD from the three mentioned parts effluent. Therefore, chemical treatment by using of an appropriate coagulant with the optimum concentration can perform an important role in reducing the effluent contamination load. Manuscript profile

        Today, steel production and consumption is applied as an important criterion for measuring the degree of countries industrial development. Needing to investment in construction and economic infrastructure in developing countries, their steel production policy is in the direction of producing the various types of structural steel. In this regard, the main object of the studied steel plant construction is creating jobs in the region, reducing imports and contributing to the country's economic development through carbon ingot production with electric arc furnace technology. After assigning the direct study area of the project, the major contaminants arising from the project implementation were investigated in construction and implementation phases and the corrective actions considered to reduce the contaminants effects. In this research, Rapid Assessment method was used for environmental impact assesment that according to the results, among 96 detected impacts, 55.1 percent of the impacts are negative and 44.9 percent are positive that in case of observing the corrective actions before and after the project implementation, its negative impacts will be minimized. Also, it is recommended that after the plant costruction, apply a periodic monitoring of the outlet contaminants every three months. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, the importance of water is known more than before as a life factor and the axis of sustainable development that to protect and manage it, it needs to be controlled using laboratory tests and various water quality indexes. The purpose of this study was to investigate water quality in diversion dams in Guilan province in which the dams have been ranked using Shannon and TOPSIS entropy methods. The dams included Pasikhan, Shakhzar, Polrud and Tarik and the measured indicators included Ec, pH, TDS, Temperature, SO4, HCO3, Cl, Ca, Mg, Na, TSS, DO, BOD5 and COD. Shannon entropy results showed that among the indicators, the highest index weight is related to TSS with the amount of 0.1973 and the lowest one is related to pH with the amount of zero. Topsis tests results showed that based on the weights derived from entropy and water quality indicators, Pasikhan dam is in the first rank, Polrud dam is in the second rank, Shakhzar dam is in the third rank and Tarik dam is in the last rank. So, according to multivariate selection methods, water quality in different dams with similar conditions can be investigated. Manuscript profile

        Waste landfills change over time due to exposure to physical and biological factors, these changes include the production of leachate and its penetration into the subsoil, groundwater pollution, production and emission of gases from waste decomposition, and finally the settlement in the site. The leachate produced flows in different layers of waste and carries toxic and polluted substances to surface or groundwater. Kacha River, which carries the contamination load from Saravan landfill, flows into Siahrud River; Siahroud passes through this lands on its way, flows to the north and after joining Goharroud, enters the eastern part of Anzali Wetland. In this study, sampling stations were located in Saravan landfill and Kacha River and sampling was done in winter and summer and COD, BOD, TDS, pH, EC, ammonia, phosphate and nitrate parameters were measured. Comparison of the results of leachate analysis of Saravan landfill and Kacha River in summer and winter showed that all parameters, including BOD and COD parameters, which are indicators of contamination load in the Kacha River, increased in the drought season (summer) compared to the wet season (winter) Which indicates the amount of more pollution from Saravan landfill to Kacha River and from there to Gohar River and finally Anzali wetland.

        Nowadays, the importance of water is known more than before as a life factor and the axis of sustainable development that to protect and manage it, it needs to be controlled using laboratory tests and regular monitoring program. The purpose of this study was to investigate the treatment plant effluent of three large industrial towns in Gilan province and comparing the index parameters with Environmental Protection Organization standards; the measured parameter included pH, TDS, DO, COD and BOD5. The results showed that, some index parameters in the treatment plant effluent in some industrial towns were more than the approved discharge standards to the receiving environments which indicates the necessity of paying attention to regular monitoring and investigation of wastewater treatment systems in industrial towns more than before.

        Dye is the first known pollutant in industrial wastewater, and its small amount is very undesirable in water. Most of the dyes contain complex organic molecules and are harmful to aquatic life and humans due to the presence of metals, aromatics and other compounds in their structure. Removing or reducing the amount of this pollutant entering the environment is essential, and biological absorption is one of these methods. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the removal of blue reactive textile dye by spirulina microalgae. In the process of conducting the research, the effect of variables such as contact time, injected algae dose and wastewater concentration was investigated on the dye removal process and the amount of absorption of the samples was measured by a spectrophotometer and the number of experiments was determined by the design expert software via response surface method (RSM) and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical tool was used to analyze the obtained results. Based on the obtained results, in the optimal conditions of the experiment, the best percentage of dye removal by spirulina microalgae was 100% in contact time of 30 minutes with a dose of 10 ml of injected algae into wastewater with a color concentration of 50 mg/L. Therefore, the use of microalgae, in addition to being an inexpensive and easy-to-operate method for color removal from colored wastewater such as textile wastewater, it will be of interest to researchers as an environmentally friendly method to remove hard degradable pollutants.
