Biochar Application in Organics and Ultra-Violet Quenching Substances Removal from Sludge Dewatering Leachate for Algae Production
See http://tny.im/pum — Algae production in nutrient rich sludge dewatering leachate after biogas production is a promising option for wastewater treatment plants. However, the ultra-violet (UV) absorbing characteristic of UV-quenching substances (UVQS) existing in these waters can notably reduce the light transmission within the liquid body. The present work demonstrates a comparative adsorptive removal of UVQS, and other organic substances (expressed as COD and TOC) onto the “acid catalyst” functionalised adsorbent (PPhA) and commercial activated carbon (CAC) from leachate originating from leftover sludge dewatering after biogas production. Laboratory scale column studies were performed to investigate the adsorption performance of…
