Treatment of micropollutants in municipal wastewater: ozone or powdered activated carbon?
Many organic micropollutants present in wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides, are poorly removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To reduce the release of these substances into the aquatic environment, advanced wastewater treatments are necessary. In this context, two large-scale pilot advanced treatments were tested in parallel over more than one year at the m...
متن کاملSynergistic Effects of the Combination of Ozone and Powdered Activated Carbon for the Elimination of Emerging Contaminants from Hospital Wastewater
Scope of the present study was the comparison of two advanced water treatment technologies – ozonation and powdered activated carbon adsorption (PAC) – with respect to the elimination of emerging contaminants. Main objective was the assessment of synergistic effects arising from the combination of both technologies in one wastewater treatment plant. The study was conducted at a full-scale plant...
متن کاملPecan shell-based granular activated carbon for treatment of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in municipal wastewater.
The present investigation was undertaken to compare the adsorption efficiency of pecan shell-based granular activated carbon with the adsorption efficiency of the commercial carbon Filtrasorb 200 with respect to uptake of the organic components responsible for the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of municipal wastewater. Adsorption efficiencies for these two sets of carbons (experimental and commer...
متن کاملTowards application of activated carbon treatment for pharmaceutical removal in municipal wastewater
Many pharmaceuticals are found in municipal wastewater effluents due to their persistence in the human body as well as in conventional wastewater treatment processes. This discharge to the environment can lead to adverse effects in aquatic species, such as feminization of male fish. During the past decade, these findings have spawned investigations and research into suitable treatment technolog...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Combined Process of Powdered Activated Carbon-Activated Sludge (PACT) in Textile Dye Removal
Introduction: The Powdered Activated Carbon Treatment (PACT) has been proposed as an alternative in wastewater treatment and wastewater biomass protection against toxic substances. This study aims to evaluate PACT performance in treating dyes, acid orange, and remazol brilliant reactive blue. Materials and Methods: This empirical- applied research was carried out in pilot scale in which differ...
