PRE-EVAPORATIVE FENTON REMEDIATION OF TREATED MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER FOR REUSE PURPOSES

摘要

The present study explored the application of evaporative technology as an alternative desalination technique for wastewater treatment plant effluent. In the experiments carried out, it was shown that evaporation allowed for extensive decontamination of wastewater treatment plant effluent as most inorganic and organic contaminants were completely removed. Ammonia could be retained in the concentrate when pH was adjusted to values lower than 4; however this led to increased nitrite volatility due to the formation of nitric oxide.
