Removal of hydrophobic micro-organic pollutants from municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents by sorption onto synthetic polymeric adsorbents : upflow column experiments

Continuous upflow bench-scale column experiments were carried out to investigate the use of a synthetic form polymer, polypropylene, and polypropylene coated with a thin layer of n-hexane as sorbents for hydrophobic organic compounds present in the effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plant.

520 |a Continuous upflow bench-scale column experiments were carried out to investigate the use of a synthetic form polymer, polypropylene, and polypropylene coated with a thin layer of n-hexane as sorbents for hydrophobic organic compounds present in the effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plant. Two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, namely, phenanthrene and fluorene, were selected as representative hydrophobic organic compounds for experimental purposes. The effect of flow rate, column diameter and column height on the removal efficiency of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was investigated. Removal efficiency was found to correlate well with hydraulic retention time, showing that retention time is the primary parameter in the design of the adsorption column. Dissolved organic matter did not sorb onto polypropylene or polypropylene coated n-hexane, and the presence of dissolved organic matter in the aqueous phase did not significantly affect sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. For experiments with polypropylene coated with n-hexane, an insignificant amount of n-hexane (less than 0.03 times the aqueous solubility of n-hexane in water) was lost due to dissolution in the effluent. The potential use of polypropylene coated n-hexane in upflow column experiments for the removal of hydrophobic organic compounds from the effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plants was demonstrated
