Effect Of Pretreatment Of Resin Acids On Anaerobic Digestibility Of Pulp And Paper Mill's Primary Sludge, Sreejon Das
Effect Of Pretreatment Of Resin Acids On Anaerobic Digestibility Of Pulp And Paper Mill's Primary Sludge, Sreejon Das
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Pulp and paper (P&P) mills’ wastewater contain high concentrations of resin acids (10–10,000 mg/L) which are toxic to aquatic organisms. In mill’s primary and waste activated sludge treatments reduced concentrations of resin acids in effluent; however, most of the resin acids are ultimately ended up in sludge after primary and secondary clarification due to their extreme hydrophobic nature (log Kow 6.0). Nevertheless, adsorbed resin acids on the surfaces of anaerobes and substrates affect anaerobic digestion (AD) process negatively. The objective of the present work was to determine the effect of pretreatment of thermomechanical pulping mill’s primary sludge (TMP-PS) on …
Treatability Of Micropollutants And Microplastics Using Selected Wastewater Treatment Processes, Juan Li
Treatability Of Micropollutants And Microplastics Using Selected Wastewater Treatment Processes, Juan Li
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Micropollutants and microplastics are ubiquitously detected in environment, which are directly linked to human health and ecosystems safety. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are regarded as a major source for discharging these contaminants into environment. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the behavior of these pollutants and their removal potential in WWTPs. This work investigated specific treatment processes to determine their efficiency in removing target micropollutants and microplastics.
Primary treatments in WWTPs are first step to removal solid particle and other floated materials from the water stream. Therefore, the process is important for microplastics particles. The behavior of …
