Oxidative degradation of COD in Petrochemical facility using Ozone-based advanced oxidation

The aim of this study was to investigate the use of ozone-based advanced oxidation processes for the oxidative destruction of COD in a petrochemical facility. Several AOP experiments were carried out in order to select and optimise the successful treatment option. A LABO3-AOP pilot unit was used where filtered wastewater (COD 1250 ppm) was circulated throughout the AOP reactor and ozone ...

Determination of the ultrasonic effectiveness in advanced wastewater treatment

Biological treatment is the most commonly applied method for treatment of wastewaters. However, biological treatment can be inhibited by bacteriotoxic or persistent pollutants present in wastewater (Lifka et at., 2003). As a result, this technology may be incapable of reducing the levels of contaminants below which they are not considered as a potential threat to public health. Therefore, new ...
