A comprehensive pilot study was carried out to experimentally assess the potential of newly developed treatment trains integrating two-stage AOPs and biofiltration to reach potable reuse water quality standards from municipal wastewater. The processes consisted of a two-stage AOPs with (carbon or limestone) biofiltration, the first AOP (O/HO) serving as pre-treatment to biofiltration and the second AOP (UV/HO) serving as post-biofiltration finishing step to ensure advanced disinfection. A comprehensive monitoring campaign was put in place resulting from the combination of targeted, non-targeted and suspect screening measurements. It was found that 13 organic micropollutants were detected from a list of 219 suspects although at ng/L level only. For the treatment conditions piloted in this study (O = 13 ± 0.5 mg/L, HO = 11 ± 0.4 mg/L for the O/HO process, and UV = 410 ± 63.5 mJ/cm, HO = 5 mg/l for the UV/HO process), it was possible to estimate the overall removal efficacy for each unit process, which was found to follow this order: RO (99%) > BAC (87%) > O-HO (78%) > BAL (67%) > UV/HO (43%) > AOP contact chamber (19%) > UF(0%), with the treatment train integrating two AOPs and granular biofiltration with activated carbon (O/HO + BAC + UV/HO) showing superior performance with a 99% abatement in total micropollutants. No ecotoxicologically-positive response was generally observed for any of the effluent samples from the tested trains, even when pre-concentration factors up to 100-1000 times were employed to increase the sensitivity of the bioassay methods.
进行了一项综合试点研究,以实验评估集成两段 AOP 和生物过滤的新处理工艺组合从市政污水达到饮用水再利用水质标准的潜力。这些工艺包括两段 AOP(带有(碳或石灰石)生物过滤,第一阶段 AOP(O/HO)作为生物过滤的预处理,第二阶段 AOP(UV/HO)作为生物过滤后的后处理步骤,以确保高级消毒。由于采用了靶向、非靶向和可疑筛选测量相结合的方法,进行了全面的监测活动。结果发现,尽管只有 ng/L 水平,但从 219 种可疑物列表中检测到 13 种有机微量污染物。对于本研究中试点的处理条件(O = 13 ± 0.5 mg/L,HO = 11 ± 0.4 mg/L 用于 O/HO 工艺,和 UV = 410 ± 63.5 mJ/cm,HO = 5 mg/L 用于 UV/HO 工艺),可以估计每个单元工艺的整体去除效果,其结果按以下顺序排列:RO(99%)> BAC(87%)> O-HO(78%)> BAL(67%)> UV/HO(43%)> AOP 接触室(19%)> UF(0%),集成两段 AOP 和颗粒生物过滤与活性炭的处理工艺(O/HO + BAC + UV/HO)表现出卓越的性能,总微量污染物的去除率达到 99%。即使采用高达 100-1000 倍的预浓缩因子来提高生物测定方法的灵敏度,也未观察到任何处理过的水样中有生态毒性阳性反应。
