Simultaneous Removal of Nitrate and Pentachlorophenol from Drinking Water Using Wheat Straw as Carbon Source

Abstract:

A novel denitrification process with wheat straw as both carbon source and biofilm carrier was developed to simultaneously remove nitrate and pentachlorophenol (PCP) from contaminated drinking water. The experimental results indicated that the reactor packed with wheat straw could be started up readily, and the removal efficiencies of nitrate and PCP reached approximately 98% and 40%, respectively, with 8 h of HRT at 25 °C. A significant increase in PCP removal was observed with prolonged HRT. Approximately 85% of PCP removal efficiency was reached, and 1.61mg/L of chloride ion was released from the contaminated water containing 5 mg/L of PCP with 16 h of HRT. Reductive dechlorination reaction was a major degradation mechanism of PCP under the denitrifying conditions with wheat straw as carbon source.
