Coking wastewater is characterized by poor biodegradability and high microorganism toxicity. Thus, it is difficult to meet Grade I of Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard of China by biological treatment technology; specifically, COD cannot meet above standard due to containing refractory organics. A novel coupling reactor, electrochemical oxidation using BDD anodes and biological aerated filter (BAF), has been developed for carbon and nitrogen removal from biotreated coking wastewater, focusing on COD, BOD5,NH4+-N, andNO3--N removal on operation over 90 days with average effluent value of 91.3, 9.73, 0.62, and 13.34 mgL−1, respectively. Average value of BOD5/COD and BOD5/NO3--N was enhanced from 0.05 to 0.27 and from 0.45 to 1.21 by electrochemical oxidation, respectively, with average energy consumption of 67.9 kWh kg−1COD. In addition, the refractory organics also were evidently mineralized in the unit based on the data of the three-dimensional fluorescence spectra. Meanwhile, its effluent provided excellent substrate for biological denitrification in BAF. At hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 13.08 h, about 12 mgL−1  NO3--N was depleted through denitrification, and it mainly occurred at top of 0.25 m height of BAF. Therefore, it is feasible to apply the coupling reactor for biotreated coking wastewater treatment and achieve desirable effluent quality.

Coking wastewater treatment has a complex composition and the properties of high content of refractory organics and poor biodegradability. Coking wastewater treatment based on oxidation technique has drawn a lot of attention because of its advantages. Various common oxidation methods are reviewed in this research, such as wet air oxidation, chemical oxidation, ozonation and electrochemical oxidation. The development prospect of coking wastewater treatment based on oxidation methods is analyzed.

A renovated hybrid membrane bioreactor (HMBR) was investigated for its capability of coking wastewater treatment. The HMBR combined biofilm process and membrane filtration process. The system was efficient in degrading COD and phenol in coking wastewater and controlling membrane. It was found that the coking wastewater could be effectively treated with 88.6% of COD removal efficiency and 98.3% of phenol removal efficiency at hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 16 h. The removal efficiency of COD and phenol decreased gradually down to 83.2% and 97.7% when HRT decreased to 8 h. The long term experiments indicated that the degree of membrane fouling for HMBR was far lower than that for MBR. The scrubbing effect of suspended carrier in HMBR was observed to be capable of reducing the cake fouling of membrane. The operation time of HMBR was 8.4-fold longer than that with MBR.
