TAILIEUCHUNG - Performance of H2O2-aerated biofilter in treatment of wastewater containing humic acid
This work presents the results of adding H2O2 into a modified aerated biofilter (ABF) for treatment of refractory organic constituents in wastewater. The activated sludge, taken from wastewater treatment system of Hue Beer Company, was long-time cultured in laboratory with beef extract-peptone solution. The synthetic wastewater was prepared from solutions of glucose, ammonium acetate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium sulphate. | Journal of Science and Technology 54 (2A) (2016) 149-155 PERFORMANCE OF H2O2 - AERATED BIOFILTER IN TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER CONTAINING HUMIC ACID Le Van Tuan*, Huynh Xuan Toan, Nguyen T.

The activated sludge, taken from wastewater treatment system of Hue Beer Company, was long-time cultured in laboratory with beef extract-peptone solution. The synthetic wastewater was prepared from solutions of glucose, ammonium acetate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium sulphate. As a refractory organic compound, humic acid (HA) was added into the wastewater; and parameters of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color were measured to estimate the treatment performance. The experiments were conducted in continuous mode to observe the effects of H2O2 concentration (25–100 mg/L) and hydraulic retention time (HRT: 24–18 hours; according to organic loading rate, OLR: – kg-COD/m3/d) on the aerated biofilter system, under identical treatment conditions (COD: 505 ± 10 mg/L, HA concentration: 25 mg/L, pH: ± , temperature: 25 ± oC, and air flow rate: ± L/min). At the concentration of H2O2 50 mg/L and HRT of 24 hours, the ABF reactor yielded highest treatment efficiency (95 % COD and 74 % color). Consequently, H2O2 could be used to improve the effectiveness of activated sludge process in treatment of wastewater containing refractory organic compounds. Keywords: H2O2, activated sludge, aerated biofilter, humic acid, wastewater. 1. INTRODUCTION Humic acid (HA) is known as a major extractable .
