The removal efficiencies of 15 PAHs and some COD components (inert, readily degradable, slowly degradable and metabolic products) from a wastewater taken from a petrochemical industry treatment plant (Izmir, Turkey) have been determined using an aerobic completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Addition of rhamnolipid surfactant (15 mg l(-1)) increased the removal efficiencies of PAHs and soluble COD from 72% and 90% to 80% and 99%, respectively. The rhamnolipid treatment caused a significant increase of 5- and 6-ring PAH degradation. The soluble COD removal efficiency was 93%, in CSTR reactors with rhamnolipid added. The inert COD removal efficiency was 60% in a CSTR reactor containing rhamnolipid. Batch tests showed that removal arising from the adsorption of the PAHs was low (between 1.88% and 4.84%) while the removal of PAHs from the petrochemical industry wastewater via volatilization varied between 0.69% and 5.92%. Low sorption capacity (K(p)) values for refinery activated sludge (approximately 2.98 l g(-1)) confirmed that bio-sorption was not an important mechanism controlling the fate of PAHs in aerobic CSTR reactors. Models proposed to simulate the PAH removal indicated that 94% of the PAHs were removed via biodegradation.
采用好氧完全搅拌罐式反应器(CSTR),测定了取自土耳其伊兹密尔一家石化厂处理厂的废水的 15 种 PAHs 和一些 COD 成分(惰性、易降解、慢降解和代谢产物)的去除效率。添加鼠李糖脂表面活性剂(15mg/L),使 PAHs 和可溶解 COD 的去除效率从 72%和 90%分别提高到 80%和 99%。鼠李糖脂处理使 5 元和 6 元环 PAH 的降解明显增加。在添加鼠李糖脂的 CSTR 反应器中,可溶解 COD 的去除效率为 93%。含有鼠李糖脂的 CSTR 反应器中,惰性 COD 的去除效率为 60%。间歇试验表明,PAHs 的吸附去除率较低(在 1.88%至 4.84%之间),而通过挥发从石化废水中去除 PAHs 的效率在 0.69%至 5.92%之间变化。炼油厂活性污泥的低吸附容量(K(p)值约为 2.98L/g)证实,生物吸附不是控制好氧 CSTR 反应器中 PAHs 命运的重要机制。提出的模拟 PAH 去除的模型表明,94%的 PAHs 通过生物降解去除。
