Evaluation of the Decolorization of Pretreated Coal Gasification Wastewater by the MyCor Process

摘要

Removal of color from pretreated coal gasification wastewater was evaluated using a bench-scale MyCoR Process reactor. In this process the fungus P. chrysosporium is immobilized on a rotating disc. Four experimental runs were completed at different color concentrations to evaluate this system's ability to remove color from the wastewater. Results indicate that color can be removed successfully from GFETC pretreated wastewater. The amount of color removed is dependent on the initial color concentration and the active fungal decolorization lifetime. (ERA citation 11:049662)
