“…The need for high applied pressures generally can be avoided by use of a media filtration process that takes advantage of adsorption of the contaminant on solids having a suitably high surface area and affinity (Chen and Horan 1998;Pokhrel and Viraraghavan 2004;Ciputra et al 2010). Due to their very high surface area and generally hydrophobic nature, activated carbon products would be expected to be quite effective for removal of colored or hard-to-decompose aromatic compounds still present in water after other treatment stages.…”

“…Due to their very high surface area and generally hydrophobic nature, activated carbon products would be expected to be quite effective for removal of colored or hard-to-decompose aromatic compounds still present in water after other treatment stages. Several studies have shown the effectiveness of activated carbon for polishing of P&P mill wastewaters (Chen and Horan 1998;Ciputra et al 2010). Activated carbons, as well as other adsorbent products derived from cellulosic materials, have been found to be effective for removal of metal ions, dyes, and other organic compounds from waters (Hubbe et al 2011;.…”

The pulp and paper (P&P) industry worldwide has achieved substantial progress in treating both process water and wastewater, thus limiting the discharge of pollutants to receiving waters. This review covers a variety of wastewater treatment methods, which provide P&P companies with costeffective ways to limit the release of biological or chemical oxygen demand, toxicity, solids, color, and other indicators of pollutant load. Conventional wastewater treatment systems, often comprising primary clarification followed by activated sludge processes, have been widely implemented in the P&P industry. Higher levels of pollutant removal can be achieved by supplementary treatments, which can include anaerobic biological stages, advanced oxidation processes, bioreactors, and membrane filtration technologies. Improvements in the performance of wastewater treatment operations often can be achieved by effective measurement technologies and by strategic addition of agents including coagulants, flocculants, filter aids, and optimized fungal or bacterial cultures. In addition, P&P mills can implement upstream process changes, including dissolved-air-flotation (DAF) systems, filtration save-alls, and kidney-like operations to purify process waters, thus reducing the load of pollutants and the volume of effluent being discharged to end-of-pipe wastewater treatment plants.

Combining LC‐OCD analysis with design‐of‐experiments methods to optimize an advanced oxidation process for the treatment of industrial wastewater

Advanced oxidation (AO) is widely used as a pre‐treatment and/or polishing step for the treatment of wastewater from industrial processes and the destruction of particular contaminants in water sources. It has a high treatment efficacy for many different compounds and thus is ideally suited as a treatment technology for specialized facilities that receive shipments of wastewater from networks of industrial, manufacturing, and commercial facilities. The primary challenge is how to optimize the process because bulk measurements of organic content (e.g. TOC) give no information about the specific composition and specialized advanced analytical techniques (e.g. LC‐MS) are unsuitable due to the complex composition. In this study, a novel combination of design‐of‐experiments (DOE) methods and LC‐OCD analysis was used with actual wastewater samples in order to optimize the AO treatment conditions in terms of chemical reagent concentrations, develop statistical models of the process, and identify potential mechanisms of COD removal. A significant variation in organic content removal was obtained over the range of conditions tested in the DOE method. For example, the percent removal of organic contaminants in the one wastewater sample varied from a low of 36 % to a high of 82 %. Most importantly, it was found that the treatment performance differed quite significantly for wastewater samples of different composition. The results presented in our study prove the need to dynamically optimize the AO treatment conditions for wastewater sources of different origins. Furthermore, by the application of the LC‐OCD analysis a step‐by‐step mechanism of COD removal was postulated.
