A Study of Removing 4-Toluene Sulfonic Acid in Wastewater Treatment by Aerobic Bio-Fluidized Bed

Abstract:

Based on the problem of industrial wastewater of 4-Toluene Sulfonic Acid (4-TSA) with characteristics of high concentration and high toxicity, also low treatment efficiency by common biological treatment , this study was used aerobic biological fluidized bed (ABFB) to analyze the impact of 4-TSA treatment by changing water load chemical oxygen demand (COD), aeration amount, and pH value of input water, and so on technological parameters. The result showed that the average degradation rate of 4-TSA in wastewater can researched to 96.9% under condition of reactor steadily running, HRT=9 h, temperature 25°C, pH=8.0, ORP-141~-93 mV,DO 3.5~8.72 mg/L, the inflow water 4-TSA concentration 600 mg/L, aerobic amount 210 L/h. Therefore, the best aerobic amount to treat wastewater contained 4-TSA is 210 L/h in aerobic biological fluidized bed. The degradation rate of 4-TSA is decreased as the increasing of water load. The scanning electronic microscope (SEM) indicated that the bacillus is the mainly part on the biological carrier, suspended sludge is composed by aurous and bacillus.
