Abstract Catalytic wet oxidation of high concentration pharmaceutical wastewater with Fe3+ as catalyst was carried out in a batch reactor. Results showed that the degradation of pharmaceutical wastewater was enhanced significantly by Fe3+. The effects of reaction parameters, such as the catalyst dose, reaction temperature, time, and initial oxygen pressure, were discussed. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal increased with the increases of catalyst dose, temperature, time and oxygen supply. With the initial COD 34,000–35,000 mg/L, approximately 70% COD removal can be achieved under the conditions of catalyst 1.0 g and oxygen pressure 1.0 MPa at 250 °C after 60 min. The results of kinetic studies showed that two reaction steps existed in this oxidation process, which followed an apparent first-order rate law. This process provides an effective approach for the pretreatment of high concentration pharmaceutical wastewater.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

The combined biological and chemical treatment of highly concentrated reactive azo dye-containing residual dyehouse liquors with recalcitrant compounds was investigated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). The plant consists of a batch reactor in which the anoxic and aerobic phases are carried out by sequenced steps. Water-soluble reactive dyes were reductively cleft and decolorized by a facultative anaerobic bacterial mixed culture under anoxic conditions. Complete decolorization was observed up to concentrations of nearly 20 g dye/L without addition of an external auxiliar substrate. Mineralization of the cleavage products occurs with the same bacterial mixed culture in the same reactor under aerobic conditions. The biomass used for the anoxic treatment is grown in this aerobic phase by the use of split flows with readily biodegradable compounds. Because of the recalcitrant toxic character of some remaining substances, further aerobic mineralization was initiated by partial oxidation with ozone. Partial ozonization in a circulated stream with biological post-treatment of the transformed substances led to an increased reaction selectivity, to a better biological degradation and not least to a lower consumption of ozone. Due to this purification procedure involving highly concentrated residual dyehouse liquors a total decolorization and an overvall degradation of nearly 90% in DOC was achieved.

The purpose of present research was to demonstrate the ability of mixed consortia of microorganisms to degrade high concentrations of phenanthrene (PHE) as the sole carbon source. Batch experiments were carried out by induction of mineral salt medium containing PHE to the seed culture and monitoring PHE biodegradation. The microbial propagation was conducted using PHE concentrations in the range of 20 to 100 mg/l. The microbial growth on PHE was defined based on Monod and modified Logistic rate models. The kinetic studies revealed that maximum specific growth rates (?m) for PHE concentrations of 20, 50 and100 mg/l were 0.12, 0.23 and 0.035 h-1, respectively. The doubling times for microbial population in PHE concentrations of 20, 50 and100 mg/l were 13, 15 and 17.5h, respectively. Also, maximum cell dry weight (xm) of 54.23 mg/l was achieved, while the inhibition coefficient was 0.023 h-1. It was observed that the experimental data were well represented by the proposed models. It was also found that the biodegradation of PHE was successfully performed by the isolated strains.
