Abstract
This paper reports a novel system of catalytic ozonation coupling with activated carbon adsorption for removing the organic compounds treating in the RO concentrate from coal gasification wastewater. The effect of ozone dosage, catalyst dosage, reaction time, influence pH, and temperature on organic compounds removal were examined for the processes. In the catalytic ozonation process, increasing solution pH, dosages ozone, and catalyst were statistically significant for improving the performance. In addition, the high salinity with chloride concentration of 15 g/L could reduce the catalyst specific surface area by 18%. Thus, high salinity showed negative influence on the catalytic effect in TOC removal. Regarding activated carbon adsorption process, modified activated carbon by NaOH revealed advantages in adsorbing organic compounds treating catalytic ozonation effluent. With the ozone dosage of 120 mg/L, catalyst dosage of 2.0 g/L, catalytic ozonation reaction time of 1 h, and modified activated carbon adsorption time of 1 h, the average TOC removal efficiencies were maintained at the stable level of 58% with the TOC concentration of 26 mg/L.Keywords
