研究目的
Investigating the efficiency of sequential UV/H2O2 and biofilm processes for the treatment of secondary effluent (SE) spiked with ibuprofen (IBU) and clofibric acid (CA) to improve water reclamation.
研究成果
The sequential UV-based and biofilm processes effectively removed DOC, TOrCs, and transformed higher MW organics into biodegradable LMW compounds, significantly improving the quality of SE for reuse. The combination of UV/H2O2 and biofilm treatment showed the highest efficiency.
研究不足
The study focused on specific TOrCs (IBU and CA) and may not represent the removal efficiency for all types of TOrCs. The effectiveness of the sequential treatment may vary with different water qualities and operational conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed UV-based processes combined with biofilm treatment to treat SE spiked with IBU and CA. The effectiveness was evaluated based on changes in DOC, A254, FEEM, concentration of IBU and CA, and molecular weight of SE.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
SE was collected from the secondary clarifier of Wangtang WWTP, Hefei, China, filtered through 0.45 μm cellulose membrane, and spiked with IBU and CA.
3:45 μm cellulose membrane, and spiked with IBU and CA. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included a low-pressure UV lamp, a mixing jacketed reactor, a fixed bed biofilm reactor, a total organic carbon analyzer, a UV/Visible spectrometer, a fluorescence spectrometry, and a gas chromatograph equipped with a mass spectrometer. Materials included IBU, CA, methanol, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, DMF, acetone, BSTFA, and SPE cartridges.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
SE was irradiated with UV light and different doses of H2O2 for 90 min. Samples were collected at intervals for analysis. The effluent from UV-based treatment was then treated in a biofilm reactor.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
DOC was measured using a TOC analyzer, A254 with a UV/Visible spectrometer, FEEMs with fluorescence spectrometry, and TOrCs concentration with GC-MS. PARAFAC analysis was applied to FEEM data.
