Abstract:Due to the different processes that can generate sulphate rich wastewaters (with up to 500 mg SO 4 2-/L), its occurrence in the inlet of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is likely to happen. Sulphate can be reduced to sulphide during sewage conveyance or in the different anaerobic tanks of the wastewater treatment plants (Bentzen et al., 1995; Poinapen et al., 2009). Certainly, these wastewater streams require proper treatment prior to discharge into surface water bodies. While COD and nitrogen removal can b… Show more
“…The concentration for these elements can be 5-10 times higher than the maximum range given if seawater is used as flushing water like in Hong-Kong (17,18,19). Sulphate and chloride are also commonly added in WWTPs as counter-ion of iron or aluminium (used to flocculate the sludge and remove phosphate), and present in industrial wastewater (16). (5,20).…”

Data from literature were gathered to evaluate the composition of the liquid phase of the different streams in a wastewater treatment plant. Ionic strength were calculated from these data, and then discussed compared to existing literature.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
