Synergistic Effects of the Combination of Ozone and Powdered Activated Carbon for the Elimination of Emerging Contaminants from Hospital Wastewater
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 treating hospital wastewater. To the author’s knowledge for the first time full-scale data on the combined treatment of hospital wastewater for the removal of emerging contaminants will be presented.

Backgrounds and Objectives: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the common groups of contaminants encountered in the industrial activities, emitted through air stream into the atmosphere. To prevent the human and environmental health from the adverse effects of VOCs, air streams containing VOCs need to be treated before discharging to environment. This study was aimed at investigating ...
