Abstract
To overcome the low catalytic efficiency, insufficient catalyst strength, and poor ozone circulation in the advanced treatment of secondary wastewater, a hollow cylindrical Fe-Cu-Ce-Mn/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by the step impregnation method. Compared with the common impregnation method, the step impregnation method produced a more uniform and compact distribution of each metal element, which was more conducive to generating the synergistic effect of various metals; thus, increasing the mineralization rate of organic matter. The hollow cylindrical design ensured the strength of the catalyst and the circulation of ozone. The reduction of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) was compared under different experimental conditions, with the optimal conditions found to be an ozone contact time of 40 min and ozone dosage of 40 mg/L. The average COD, ammonia nitrogen, and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (UV254) removal rates were 36%, 19%, and 20%, respectively. After 3 weeks of continuous experiment, the removal rate was still high. Following analysis by three dimensional fluorescence, GC-MS, and the molecular weight detection of water samples before and after treatment, it was found that the catalyst enhanced the effect of ozone on wastewater treatment, with a significant removal of tryptophan-like aromatic proteins and soluble microbial metabolites, and the removal of most of the small molecular organic matter. In addition, part of the refractory organic matter could be converted into easily degradable organic matter, which greatly improved the biodegradability and mineralization rate of wastewater, and provided good conditions for subsequent treatment.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 830:154803. [PMID: 35341845 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Heterogeneous catalytic oxidation, as an efficient advanced treatment technology, has been gradually applied in industrial wastewater treatment. The fixed bed technique is one of the most popular catalytic ozonation methods. However, few studies have concentrated on the long-term operation effects on catalysts. In this study, we conducted long-term (~5 years) observations of the operation of the largest petrochemical wastewater treatment plant (treatment capacity 120,000 m3/d) with catalytic ozonation technology in China. A commercial catalyst, which uses Al2O3 pellets supporting copper oxide was applied in this plant. The results showed that the catalytic efficiency gradually decreased from 60.65% to 25.98% since 2018, and the ozone dosage to COD removal ratio (ozone/COD) also increased from 0.82 to 1.93 mg/mg as the running time continued. By means of the comparison and characterization of fresh catalyst and used catalyst, a "mucus layer" was formed by the adsorption of negatively charged extracellular polymeric substances on the positively charged catalyst surface and the interception of the catalyst layer. The mucus layer significantly reduced the catalytic efficiency by isolating ozone with catalytic active sites and releasing extra organic contaminants during the catalytic process resulting in 53.97% TOC increase in the batch test. Meanwhile, regeneration experiments revealed that the TOC removal efficiency was 4.76% and 43.48% in presence of washed catalysts and calcinated catalysts, respectively. Compared with the fresh catalyst, 73% of the catalytic activity was recovered for calcinated catalyst. Consequently, this study provides much practical information, showing positive effects on the promotion of catalytic ozonation application in actual wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, both Electrocoagulation (EC) and Fered-Fenton (FF) technologies were used to treat reverse osmosis concentrates (ROC) from petrochemical production. The toxicity reduction capacity and mechanism were comparatively assessed during these two treatments. The results showed that FF exhibited higher capacity to reduce toxicity than EC in the 30 min treatment, which could be attributed to the removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals. The results showed that the ROC contained organics with molecular weight of 1200 g mol-1 and 220 g mol-1, which mainly consisted of the soluble microbial by-product-like and humic acid-like substances. The removal of these organics directly led to the noticeable toxicity reduction. Alkanes, haloalkanes, ketones, PAHs, and other four organic pollutants were the dominant species in the ROC, and the removal of small molecular weight organic pollutants played an essential role in reducing toxicity. FF exhibited stronger capacity to remove PAHs, BTEXS and haloalkanes, and the removal efficiencies for the PAHs were in the following order: 5-ring > 4-ring > 3-ring > 2-ring. The promotion of heavy metals removal appeared to be favorable for decreasing toxicity in ROC. This study illustrated the mechanism of the toxicity reduction and the characteristics of pollutants removal during FF and EC treatments, and provided valuable guidance for petrochemical manufacturing to the toxicity reduction and operation of wastewater treatment facilities.

Abstract
Taking advantage of the high mass transfer in the bulk solution of fluidized-bed reactor (FBR), and the benefits of simultaneous particle separation and ozone catalysis on ceramic membranes, we proposed a hybrid fluidized-bed reactor (HFBR) based on arrayed ceramic membranes (ACMs) coupled with powdered activated carbon (PAC) for efficient catalytic ozonation. The optimum HFBR performance on a pilot scale was found at PAC addition of 3 g/L, ozone dosage of 25 mg/L, hydraulic retention time of 60 min and auxiliary aeration strength of 5 m3/h. During the 30-day treatment of coal-gasification secondary effluent (200 L/h), the HFBR system revealed not only a 117% increase in ozone utilization efficiency (ΔCOD/ΔO3) upon pure ozonation but also a highly purified effluent with better sterilization and low residual bromate (∼11 μg/L). Low-molecular-weight organic fragments and acids, as well as phthalate esters were identified as the main products in this process. By density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it was found the main functional groups (carbonyls, -C=O) on the PAC could be protected from direct ozonation in the presence of ozone-degradable organics (e.g. phenolic and aliphatic compounds) in the wastewater through an ozone-competing reaction, which prevented the rapid inactivation of the PAC in catalytic ozonation. A longer service life and cheaper materials for ceramic membranes would benefit low operation costs for the HFBR. Moreover, the addition of PAC could greatly reduce ozone demand by ∼60% in the HFBR, and therefore decrease energy consumption by ∼30%. Hence, the HFBR was proved to be a highly competitive technology for wide application in the near future.

The importance of highly efficient wastewater treatment is evident from aggravated water crises. With the development of green technology, wastewater treatment is required in an eco-friendly manner. Biotechnology is a promising solution to address this problem, including treatment and monitoring processes. The main directions and differences in biotreatment process are related to the surrounding environmental conditions, biological processes, and the type of microorganisms. It is significant to find suitable biotreatment methods to meet the specific requirements for practical situations. In this review, we first provide a comprehensive overview of optimized biotreatment processes for treating wastewater during different conditions. Both the advantages and disadvantages of these biotechnologies are discussed at length, along with their application scope. Then, we elaborated on recent developments of advanced biosensors (i.e. optical, electrochemical, and other biosensors) for monitoring processes. Finally, we discuss the limitations and perspectives of biological methods and biosensors applied in wastewater treatment. Overall, this review aims to project a rapid developmental path showing a broad vision of recent biotechnologies, applications, challenges, and opportunities for scholars in biotechnological fields for "green" wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The biological aerated filter (BAF) is an effective biological treatment technology which removes the pollutants in municipal wastewater secondary treatment. However, we still know little about the interaction between the pollutants removal and microbes within the BAF. In this study, we used an up-flow BAF (UBAF) reactor to investigate the relationships between the pollutants removal and microbial community structure at different aeration rates and filter media heights. The microbial community of biofilm was analyzed by Illumina pyrosequencing. Our results showed that the UBAF achieved a better removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH4+-N, NO3−-N, and total phosphorus (TP) at an aeration rate of 65 L/h. In addition, the COD and NH4+-N removal mainly occurred at 0–25 cm height of filter media. The microbial community structure in the UBAF demonstrated that the relative abundance of the Planctomycetes and Comamonadaceae at 10 cm height of filter media were 11% and 48.1%, respectively, proportions significantly higher than those under others treatments. Finally, the changes in relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Nitrospirae likely explained the mechanism of nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Our results showed that suitable conditions could enhance the microbial community structure to achieve a high pollutants removal in the UBAF.

Abstract
The components of petrochemical wastewater (PCWW) are very complex and it is one of the most important sources of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in water bodies. To improve the effluent qualities of PCWW, the Chinese government has promulgated a new Emission Standard of Pollutants for Petroleum Chemistry Industry. More than 60 types of OMPs, most of which are toxic organics, are added and strictly limited in the standard. Based on the bench- and pilot-scale experiments, a pretreatment (microaerobic hydrolysis and acidification, MOHA), biological (anoxic/oxic process, A/O) and advanced treatment (micro-flocculation dynasand filtration and catalytic ozonation, MFDF-CO) integrated process is proposed. The full-scale application in the Chinese biggest petrochemical wastewater treatment plant has demonstrated that the performance of the integrated process is stable and it can significantly improve the effluent qualities. The effluent COD decreased from 84.7 to 47.0mg/L and most of the OMPs were removed. The EC50 of the effluent for luminescent bacteria assay, algal growth inhibition, Daphnia magna inhibition test and zebrafish eggs test are all higher than 100% and the induction rate (IR) for genotoxicity is only 0.76. The energy demand, however, with the electricity consumption increase by 44.1%, is very high for OMPs removal, leading to high indirect carbon emission.

Abstract
The implementation of different pretreatment techniques and technologies prior to effluent discharge is a direct result of the inefficiency of several existing wastewater treatment methods. A majority of the industrial sectors have known to cause severe negative effects on the environment. The five major polluting industries are the paper and pulp mills, coal manufacturing facilities, petrochemical, textile and the pharmaceutical sectors. Pretreatment methods have been widely used in order to lower the toxicity levels of effluents and comply with environmental standards. In this review, the possible environmental benefits and concerns of adopting different pretreatment technologies for renewable energy production and product/resource recovery has been reviewed and discussed.

The combination of ozone and biological aerated filter (O3/BAF) has been widely studied and applied in polishing different biological secondary effluents. O3/BAF has the advantages of high pollutants removal rate, low operating cost, and flexible combination types. The principle and combination, effect of ozone dosage and influent suspended solids (SS) on O3/BAF, applications, current research focuses, and development are discussed. The ozone can break refractory macromolecules into small and biodegradable fragments, increasing the biodegradation. It benefits the operation of BAF. The coupling of ozonation and BAF is efficient in the removal of refractory organic pollutants from different wastewaters. Ozonation can also be used as the post-treatment option after BAF to guarantee the effluent qualities. Normally, the ozone dosage varied from 5 to 125 mg/L with the contact time of 4 to 60 min, while the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of BAF is usually between 2 to 5 h when treating different biological effluents. The effluent COD is normally lower than 50 mg/L. Most of the organic micropollutants (OMPs) in the biological effluent, such as antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, steroid hormones, and industrial chemicals, can be efficiently removed by O3/BAF. More importantly, the O3/BAF can obviously reduce the toxicity of the wastewater. The residual ozone of about 0.2 mg/L in the ozonation effluent benefits the performance of BAF. The future trends of O3/BAF are also discussed in the paper.

Abstract
In this study, a UV/O3 hybrid advanced oxidation system was used to remove chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), and atrazine (ATZ) from ATZ production wastewater. The removal of COD and NH3-N, under different UV and O3 conditions, was found to follow pseudo-first-order kinetics with rate constants ranging from 0.0001-0.0048 and 0.0015-0.0056 min-1, respectively. The removal efficiency of ATZ was over 95% after 180 min treatment, regardless the level of UV power. A kinetic model was further proposed to simulate the removal processes and to quantify the individual roles and contributions of photolysis, direct O3 oxidation, and hydroxyl radical (OH·) induced oxidation. The experimental and kinetic modeling results agreed reasonably well with deviations of 12.2 and 13.1% for the removal of COD and NH3-N, respectively. Photolysis contributed appreciably to the degradation of ATZ, while OH· played a dominant role for the removal of both COD and NH3-N, especially in alkaline environments. This study provides insights into the treatment of ATZ containing wastewater using UV/O3 and broadens the knowledge of kinetics of ozone-based advanced oxidation processes.
