Abstract
This paper presents an economic application of Fenton oxidation process to biological treatment effluent containing high-strength nitrite and refractory organics. To cope with two major drawbacks in applying Fenton oxidation process to the nitrite-rich effluent simultaneously, i.e. expensive reagent and excessive sludge production, we examined two pretreatment methodologies prior to the application of Fenton process in the following way. First, residual nitrite in the biologically treated leachate (BTL) was removed with iron-catalyzed air oxidation (ICAO) as a cost-effective pretreatment. The time necessary for ICAO reaction is approx. 5 hr. Secondly, to reduce organic loads iron sludge was regenerated for an alternative coagulant. With the regenerated iron sludge, the dose of Fenton’s regent can be reduced by half to remove residual COD in the BTL.
