Investigation of the mass transfer processes during the desalination of water containing phenol and sodium chloride by electrodialysis

Oxidation processes are used in wastewater treatment when conventional processes are not effective due to the presence of recalcitrant organic contaminants, like phenol. However, the presence of ionic compounds associated with organic pollutants may retard the oxidation. In this work the transport of species contained in an aqueous solution of phenol containing sodium chloride was evaluated in an electrodialysis (ED) system. An experimental study was carried out in which the influence of the process variables on the phenol loss and sodium chloride removal was investigated. Experiments were also performed without current, in order to determine the phenol transfer due to diffusion. The phenol and salt concentration variations in the ED compartments were measured over time, using dedicated procedures and an experimental design to determine the global characteristic parameters. A phenomenological approach was used to relate the phenol, salt and water fluxes with the driving forces (concentration and electric potential gradients). Under ED conditions, two contributions were pointed out for the phenol transport, i.e. diffusion and convection, this latter coming from the water flux due to electroosmosis related to the migration of salts. The fitting of the parameters of the transport equations resulted in good agreement with the experimental results over the range of conditions investigated.     

Removal of Phenol from Wastewater Using Date Seed Carbon

The adsorption of phenol on Date Seed Carbon (DSC) was investigated to assess its possible use as an adsorbent for the processing of phenolic wastewater. The influence of various factors such as initial concentration, agitation speed, amount of adsorbent and temperature on the adsorption capacity has been studied. The percentage removal of phenol was observed to increase with increase an initial concentration of phenol. The adsorption of phenol decrease with an increase in temperature indicated the exothermic nature of the reaction. The Langmuir and Freundlich equations interpret adsorption isothermal data. Kinetic data was obtained by using a pseudo‐second‐order equation to understand the reaction mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG, ΔH and ΔS for the adsorption process were calculated.     

Liquid-phase adsorption: Characterization and use of activated carbon prepared from diosgenin production residue

The adsorption behavior of activated carbon (AC) prepared from the residue of diosgenin by-product was characterized. The adsorption capacities of AC such as iodine, phenol and methylene blue (MB) are 933.28, 145.38 and 165 mg/g, respectively. The results of MP analysis and BJH method show AC has developed micropore and mesopore volumes, which are 0.1621 and 0.2623 cm³/g respectively, with the mean pore diameter of 1.49 nm. Comparison of the liquid phase adsorption capacities of AC to the standard activated carbon (SAC) and the commercial activated carbon (CAC) for wastewater treatment showed AC was superior to SAC and CAC. Experiments on phenol and MB adsorption and COD and chroma removal from diosgenin wastewater were carried out under different conditions of contact time, temperature, concentration, adsorbent dose and pH. The removal of COD and chroma of 10-multiple wastewater is 92.46 mg/g and 88 %, respectively. Adsorption parameters for the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were determined. At lower temperatures, the data for phenol and COD fitted Freundlich model better than Langmuir model and vise versa for MB and chroma. Adsorption followed second-order kinetics. The study proves that AC prepared from the residue of diosgenin by-product can be used as adsorbent for the treatment of diosogenin wastewater as a cost-effective approach of resource recycle of Discorea zingiberensis C.H. Wright.

Membrane aromatic recovery system (MARS) — a new membrane process for the recovery of phenols from wastewaters

This paper describes a new process for recovery of aromatic acids and bases, the membrane aromatic recovery system (MARS). The process comprises a stripping vessel, where phenols are extracted through nonporous membranes and concentrated into a NaOH solution as phenolate, and a two-phase separator in which the solution collected from the stripping vessel is separated into a phenolic phase and an aqueous phase by adjusting pH to acidic conditions with the addition of HCl. Silicone rubber tubing was used as a membrane in this study. The temperature in the stripping vessel and NaOH concentration in the solution fed into the stripping vessel are two important operating parameters. In this study the temperature was 50°C and NaOH concentration 12.5 wt.%. At steady-state, the total phenol concentration in the stripping solution can be orders of magnitude higher than in the wastewater, ensuring a high phenol recovery efficiency. The work found phenol recovery efficiencies of over 94%, with a recovered organic-rich phase comprising 86.5 wt.% phenol, and the balance water.The overall mass transfer coefficients (OMTCs) for other phenols were investigated to demonstrate the wide potential applications of MARS technology. Insights into OMTCs and permeabilities of phenols include the effect of Reynolds number in the tube side on OMTC, and the effect of temperature on the permeabilities of phenolic compounds in the membrane. The membrane resistance dominates the OMTCs of phenols in this study. The van’t Hoff–Arrhenius relationship for the temperature dependence of the permeability of the penetrant through the polymer gave excellent agreement with our experimental data.

Fabrication of electrospun polyethersulfone/titanium dioxide (PES/TiO2) composite nanofibers membrane and its application for photocatalytic degradation of phenol in aqueous solution

The main objective of this research is to use the photocatalytic properties of PES/TiO₂ nanofibers membranes to remove the phenol as a toxic pollutant in various effluents. The uniform fibers in terms of minimum bead formation and fibers diameter were fabricated. Therefore, more TiO₂ catalysts are on the surface of the fibers which increase the active surface area of nanoparticles and consequently improve the phenol degradation efficiency. The effects of TiO₂ concentration on hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, porosity, mean pore size, and water flux of membranes were studied. The PES/TiO₂ nanofibers were evaluated for phenol degradation under UVA irradiation through a transparent membrane module. The amount of removable phenol was analyzed with high‐performance liquid chromatography. Central composite design was used as a statistical experimental design. Finally, the effect of TiO₂ content in nanofibers and initial phenol concentrations were investigated as well as pH values in synthetic wastewater, on phenol degradation. The results from analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis indicated that TiO₂ content in nanofibers was the most important and effective parameter on phenol degradation. It was also presented that there is no significant interaction between parameters so that the effect of each parameter was investigated separately. Maximum phenol degradation was 43.0 ± 0.3% and found under conditions of TiO₂ content, initial phenol concentration, and pH value of 8%, 120 ppm, and 7, respectively.

Coke wastewater treatment methods: Mini review

Coke wastewater production and its treatment is an alarming issue worldwide. Coke oven produces coke wastewater with a highly loaded and contaminated stream. Coke wastewater with high BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand), and nutrients impart serious threat if disposed of without treatment. It also contains phenol, ammonia, cyanide, thiocyanate & polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Because of composition and specificity of coke oven pollutants, appropriate selection of treatment method is a crucial step. The present literature review found that efficient treatment of coke wastewater can be done either by chemical or biological method. The chemical method is mostly performed by coagulation followed by sedimentation or flocculation, while biological method is preferably activated sludge process or nitrification/denitrification processes. An extensive review study on possible treatment methodologies of coke wastewater has been performed. This study focuses on comparison of performance of various treatment methods for coke wastewater.

Assessment of the fate of some household micropollutants in urban wastewater treatment plant

Everyday domestic activity is a significant source of water pollution. The presence of six household micropollutants in an urban wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was assessed in wastewater and sludge. A multi-target analytical method was developed for the quantification of ibuprofen, erythromycin, ofloxacin, 4-nonylphenol, 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol (triclosan), and sucralose. The micropollutants were extracted from the liquid and solid phases and their concentrations were determined by LC-MS/MS. The efficiency of micropollutants’ removal within a conventional activated sludge process was assessed. From 50 % to 90 % of ibuprofen and erythromycin was removed from the wastewater liquid phase. Their removal can be attributed to biological degradation as they were not found adsorbed on the outlet sludge. Ofloxacin and triclosan were removed from the liquid phase with similar efficiencies; however, they were adsorbed on the sludge, so it was not possible to determine their removal mechanism (whether biodegradation or displacement to solid phase/sequestration). Sucralose was not removed from wastewater (3 μg L^?1 in inlet and outlet liquid phase) and not adsorbed on the sludge. 4-Nonylphenol concentrations were sometimes higher in the WWTP outlet water; this may relate to the degradation of alkylphenol ethoxylates in the wastewater treatment process. 4-Nonylphenol was always present in the outlet sludge.

Determination of phenolic compounds in wastewater by liquid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography

Liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) coupled with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection is applied to the analysis of phenolic compounds (phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, 2,4-dimethylphenol, 2,3- dimethylphenol, and 3,4-dimethylphenol) in water samples. Experimental parameters affecting the extraction efficiency (including extraction solvent and drop volume, stirring rate, extraction time, temperature, salt concentration, and pH) are investigated and optimized. The developed protocol yields a good linear calibration curve from 5 or 20 to 10000 microg/L for the target analytes. The limits of detection are in the range of 0.94 to 1.97 microg/L, and the relative standard deviation is below 9.37%. The established method is applied to determine the phenolic pollutants in real wastewater samples from a coking plant. The recoveries of the phenolic compounds studied are from 92% to 102%, suggesting the feasibility of the LPME method for the determination of the phenolic compounds in wastewater.
