Bench Scale Treatability of Leachate from an Abandoned Phenolic Waste Site

The treatability of a phenolic waste that was leaching from the site of a former pine-tar manufacturing facility was determined. Bench-scale activated sludge pilot plants were used to model the proposed wastewater treatment plant and to determine the effect of the leachate on nitrifying and denitrif...

Description
Summary:The treatability of a phenolic waste that was leaching from the site of a former pine-tar manufacturing facility was determined. Bench-scale activated sludge pilot plants were used to model the proposed wastewater treatment plant and to determine the effect of the leachate on nitrifying and denitrifying sludge. Chemical compound removals in the bench-scale activated sludge units and denitrifying units revealed that the leachate was treatable at a 1.25% leachate and wastewater concentration, which was the expected concentration at the wastewater treatment plant.
