Abstract

The efficacy of integrated ozone oxidation-biodegradation treatment was examined in the treatment of petrochemical wastewater with a special focus on the overall treatment time. When raw wastewater with chemical oxygen demand(COD) of 70-80 mg/L was oxidized by ozone, approximately 20% of initial COD was removed in less than 1.5 min at a dosing rate of 400 mg $O_3/L{\cdot}h $. No further decrease in COD was observed for the extended ozone treatment up to 30 min. Biological treatment alone showed a rapid reduction of COD to 40-50 mg/L, subsequently resulting in the decreased rate of COD removal. Pre-treatment by ozone before biological treatment did not significantly affect the specific rate of COD removal in a biological treatment. When ozone oxidation followed biological treatment, the extent of COD removal by ozone oxidation was greater compared to that of biologically-treated wastewater for a shorter time. Taken together, it was decided that the biological treatment time could be reduced if the treatment processes of concern will be properly arranged.
