Coal gasification wastewater, as a typical industrial wastewater has poor biodegradability and high toxicity. In this paper, simple anaerobic shaker test was conducted to investigate the degradation of hydroquinone in coal gasification wastewater. Anaerobic sludge shaker test were run for 27, 50 and 73 days, the phenol concentration were adjusted to 300 mg/L and 500 mg/L with pH 7.5, respectively. The experimental results also showed that this system could effectively deal with COD and phenol removal and remain in a stable level when the operational parameters altered while the hydrolysis acidification at 45h is appropriate. Organics degradation and transformation of anaerobic coal gasification wastewater samples at 12h, 24h, 36h, 48h, and 60h were analyzed by GC/MS and it was found that hydrolysis acidification played an important role in degradation of methyl phenol, hydroquinone and refractory compounds. Therefore, the results illustrated that the simple anaerobic shaker process is an easy way for pollutant degradation and treat coal gasification wastewater effectively.

A two-year survey of adsorbable organic halide (AOX) removals was conducted for eight full-scale wastewater treatment systems operated at pulp mills in North America. The resulting AOX database, one of the most comprehensive currently available, supports several significant findings. AOX removals averaged 46% for the two activated sludge systems and 34% for the five aerated stabilization basins (ASBs). Both the activated sludge facilities and ASBs averaged removing over half of the influent low molecular weight AOX. The average removal of high molecular weight AOX varied among mill sites from 1% to 47% and was not correlated with the type of treatment process used. The best-performing treatment facility, located at a sulfite mill receiving nearly 100% hardwood furnish and using an activated sludge treatment system, was able to consistently remove 53% of the AOX, 62% of the low molecular weight AOX, and 47% of the high molecular weight AOX in bleaching wastewaters. Factors responsible for this high performance are not currently understood. Effluent AOX was strongly correlated (R2 = 0.90) to the influent loading for ASBs. In-mill improvements such as the use of oxygen and peroxide as well as chlorine dioxide substitution reduce influent AOX loading, apparently with minimal impact on treatment plant removal efficiency.
