Abstract
A two case study of industrial wastewater treatment is reported in order to prove the suitability of ozonation for biorefractory COD removal. The ozon e application as an end treatment is shown to provide an excellent oxidatio n yield of organic matter in a landfill leachate. The combination of ozonat ion and fixed bed biofilm process appears quite effective for the post-trea tment of two biological effluents from paper industry.
