Sh. Gharaibeh et al., EFFLUENT TREATMENT OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE-WATER USING PROCESSED SOLID RESIDUE OF OLIVE MILL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVATED CARBON, Journal of chemical technology and biotechnology, 71(4), 1998, pp. 291-298
The carbonised solid residue of olive mill products, called J-carbon (
0.6-0.7 mm), was compared with Sigma activated carbon (powder) and Che
mviron activated carbon (0.6-0.7 mm) in treatment of the effluent of F
lexsys' wastewater. The removal of NH3, TOC as non-specific organics,
and six specific leading organic pollutants from Flexsys' wastewater e
ffluent were examined. All three different carbon sources have almost
similar behaviour in removing the above pollutants; the removal effici
encies were as follows: Sigma carbon: benzothiazole, 1,2-dihydro-2,2,4
-trimethylquinoline, N-dimorpholinyl ketone, methylsulphyl benzothiazo
le and methyl-2-benzothiazole sulphone 100% > TOC 94% > NH3 82% > tetr
achloroethene 50%. Chemviron carbon: benzothiazole, 1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-
trimethylquinoline, N-dimorpholinyl ketone, methylsulphyl benzothiazol
e and methyl-2-benzothiazole sulphone 100% > NH3 87% > TOC 40% > tetra
chloroethene 31%. J-carbon: benzothiazole, methylsulphyl benzothiazole
and methyl-2-benzothiazole sulphone 100% > NH(3)78% > 1,2-dihydro-2,2
,4-trimethylquinoline 70% > tetrachloroethene 58% > N-dimorpholinyl ke
tone 50% > TOC 37%. (C) 1998 SCI.
