Distribution of pyrethroid insecticides in secondary wastewater effluent
Although the freely dissolved form of hydrophobic organic chemicals may best predict aquatic toxicity, differentiating between dissolved and particle bound forms is challenging at environmentally relevant concentrations for compounds with low toxicity thresholds such as pyrethroid insecticides. We investigated the distribution of pyrethroids among three forms: freely dissolved, complexed with ...

Synergistic effect of biological activated carbon and enhanced coagulation in secondary wastewater effluent treatment
The use of secondary wastewater effluent (SWWE) is an essential strategy for making better use of limited water resources. However, a wide range of organic compounds eventually renders them unsuitable for recycling. In water treatment processes, biologically activated carbon (BAC) is adopted after physicochemical treatment. However, the effectiveness of such combination for SWWE remains poorly ...

Hydrodynamic characterisation of an airlift reactor for domestic wastewater treatment
This study evaluates the hydrodynamic and mass–transfer behaviour of a 20–L airlift photobioreactor, employed for secondary wastewater treatment of domestic effluent. Gas hold–up (ε), as well as the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) was assessed as a function of superficial gas velocity (Ug) for both bi– and triphasic systems. In the experimental range of Ug investigated, the maximum kLa ...

Elimination of nitrate in secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plants by Fe0 and Pd-Cu/diatomite
Because total nitrogen (TN), in which nitrate (NO3–) is dominant in the effluent of most wastewater treatment plants, cannot meet the requirement of Chinese wastewater discharge standard (<15 mg/L), NO3– elimination has attracted considerable attention. In this research, the novel diatomite-supported palladium-copper catalyst (Pd-Cu/diatomite) with zero-valent iron (Fe0) was tried to use ...

Analysis of chemical reaction kinetics of depredating organic pollutants from secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plant in constructed wetlands
Four subsurface constructed wetlands were built to treat the secondary effluent of a wastewater treatment plant in Tangshan, China. The chemical pollutant indexes of chemical oxygen demand (COD) were analyzed to evaluate the removal efficiency of organic pollutants from the secondary effluent of the wastewater treatment plant. In all cases, the subsurface constructed wetlands were efficient in ...

Catalytic reduction of nitrate in secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plants by Fe0 and Pd–Cu/γ–Al2O3
Total nitrogen, in which NO3− is dominant in the effluent of most wastewater treatment plants, cannot meet the requirements of the Chinese wastewater discharge standard (<15 mg/L), making nitrate (NO3−) elimination attract considerable attention. In this study, reductant iron (Fe0) and γ–Al2O3 supported palladium–copper bimetallic catalysts (Pd–Cu/γ–Al2O3) were innovatively used for the ...

Electrocoagulation Solutions - Technology meets needs of food & beverage wastewater treatment - Case Study
The effects of water scarcity and stricter environmental regulations placed on water usage are increasing the cost of using freshwater globally. The consequences of these increasing costs on food and beverage companies are twofold, since the companies are charged for both the water that they utilize in their processes and on their wastewater discharge. Additionally, the food and beverage ...

Nitrogen removal in tertiary wastewater treatment plant of a chemical complex
A Biochemical Contact Oxidation Film (BCOF) technique was piloted for the treatment of a secondary effluent of the Jilin Chemical Industry Corporation (JCIC). The original pulse contact flocculation clarifier used for the tertiary treatment was not performing to the discharge standards. Results show that NH3-N concentration was decreased from 30 mg/L to 15 mg/L, COD concentration was decreased ...

Noses for Surveillance of Wastewater from Secondary Treatment Plants in Alexandria, Egypt
Intermittent discharges of industrial chemical pollutants into sewers can have a damaging effect on the processes involved in treating wastewater. They are sometimes able to pass through treatment plants and enter into the receiving water, to exert a harmful effect on the environment and possibly pass down a river to the intakes forwater supplies. We evaluated the use of an electronic nose ...

Electrochemical disinfection of secondary wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent
In this work the electrochemical disinfection of the effluent of a secondary wastewater treatment plant is investigated. In the experimental work, performed on-site with real effluents of the WWTP located in Vuelta Ostrera (Cantabria, Spain), boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes were employed. The initial concentration of E. coli in the effluent of the WWTP varied in the range ...

Monitoring and evaluation of removal of pathogens at municipal wastewater treatment plants
The concentrations and removal of Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and microbial indicators, including somatic coliphages and fecal coliforms were investigated through the wastewater treatment processes at three municipal wastewater treatment plants in Beijing, China. The experimental results showed that the concentrations of Cryptosporidium in untreated wastewater, primary treatment effluent, secondary ...

Evaluation of treatment schemes appropriate for wastewater reuse in Greece
The scope of this paper is to propose wastewater reuse quality criteria and treatment specifications for Greece, taking into consideration reuse priorities and secondary effluent characteristics. The proposed wastewater reclamation criteria and tertiary treatment schemes were evaluated in terms of feasibility and effectiveness through lab-scale experiments. The experimental data were processed by ...

Utilization of artificial recharged effluent as makeup water for industrial cooling system: corrosion and scaling
The secondary effluent from wastewater treatment plants was reused for industrial cooling water after pre-treatment with a laboratory-scale soil aquifer treatment (SAT) system. Up to a 95.3% removal efficiency for suspended solids (SS), 51.4% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 32.1% for Cl− and 30.0% SO42− were observed for the recharged secondary effluent after the SAT operation, which is ...

A study on the effects of ozone dosage on dissolved-ozone flotation (DOF) process performance
Dissolved-ozone flotation (DOF) is a tertiary wastewater treatment process, which combines ozonation and flotation. In this paper, a pilot-scale DOF system fed by secondary effluent from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in China was used to study the effect of ozone dosage on the DOF process performance. The results show that an ozone dosage could affect the DOF performance to a large extent ...
