Removal of organic pollution from wastewater using advanced technique

الملخص EN

The achievement of a good ecological status of water receivers after waste discharge or partially treated water from industry activity requires harmonic interaction between water treatment technology and self-purification processes.

The present research integrated two components included an aerobic treatment process for industrial wastewater with the addition of microbiological preparations to increase the biodegradation activity.

The functional role and restructuring of the microbial communities in the water, sediment water and sediments were studied.

The second component is granular activated carbon component to remove organic pollutants by adsorption.

The results showed that the most important approaches for achieving high effectiveness of wastewater treatment process were both the acclimation of aeration and control of sediment - sludge.

These two processes increased biodegradation effectiveness of the organic pollutants with 60%.

While granular activated carbon (GAC) improved the pollution reduction reached to 80% as slow rate function and GAC dosage.
