Abstract
The use of electrocoagulation (EC) and anodic oxidation (AO) processes was studied for improving a treatment system for landfill leachates based on a membrane bioreactor (MBR) and a nanofiltration step. The main limitation of the current full-scale system is related to the partial removal of organic compounds that leads to operation of the nanofiltration unit with a highly concentrated feed solution. Application of the EC before the MBR participated in partial removal of the organic load (40 %) with limited energy consumption (2.8 kWh m-3) but with additional production of iron hydroxide sludge. Only AO allowed for non-selective removal of organic compounds. As a standalone process, AO would require a sharp increase of the energy consumption (116 kWh for 81 % removal of total organic carbon). But using lower electric charge and combining AO with EC and MBR processes would allow for achieving high overall removal yields with limited energy consumption. For example, the overall removal yield of total organic carbon was 65 % by application of AO after EC, with an energy consumption of 21 kWh m-3. Results also showed that such treatment strategy might allow for a significant increase of the biodegradability of the effluent before treatment by the MBR. The MBR might then be dedicated to the removal of the residual organic load as well as to the removal of the nitrogen load. The data obtained in this study also showed that the lower electric charge required for integrating AO in a coupled process would allow for strongly decreasing the formation of undesired by-products such as ClO3- and ClO4-.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-29877-9. [PMID: 37737947 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29877-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
Nowadays, the presence of persistent dissolved pollutants in water has received increasing attention due to their toxic effects on living organisms. Considering the limitations of conventional wastewater treatment processes for the degradation of these compounds, advanced oxidation processes such as electro-Fenton and sono-chemical process, as well as their combination, appear as potentially effective options for the treatment of wastewater contaminated with bio-recalcitrant pollutants. In view of the importance of the development of processes using real effluents, this review aims to provide a comprehensive perspective of sono-electro-Fenton-related processes applied for real wastewater treatment. In the first section, the fundamentals and effectiveness of both homogeneous and heterogeneous electro-Fenton approaches for the treatment of real wastewater are presented. While the second part of this work describes the fundamentals of ultrasound-based processes, the last section focuses on the coupling of the two methods for real wastewater treatment and on the effect of the main operational parameters of the process. On the basis of the information presented, it is suggested that sono-electro-Fenton processes substantially increase the efficiency of the treatment as well as the biodegradability of the treated wastewater. The combined effect results from mass transfer improvement, electrode cleaning and activation, water electrolysis, and the electro-Fenton-induced production of hydroxyl radicals. The information presented in this work is expected to be useful for closing the gap between laboratory-scale assays and the development of novel wastewater technologies.
