Studies on Pre-Treatment of Wastewater Containing Nitroaromatic Compound by Ultrasonic Cavitation

Abstract:

In this paper, ultrasonic cavitation degradation was applied to treat the wastewater containing nitroaromatic compound. The factors influence to treatment effect such as the ultrasonic power and frequency, the wastewater initial pH value, were investigated by experiment. The experimental results showed that air-blasting in ultrasonic cavitation treatment could effectively improve treatment effect. The wastewater（COD:2650 mg•L-1,BOD5:240 mg•L-1，p-nitroaniline：490 mg•L-1，nitrobenzene:100 mg•L-1）was treated by ultrasonic cavitation degradation, the removal rate of p-nitroaniline,nitrobenzene and COD could be reached 91.3%,90.6% and 83.9% respectively after 3h. Biodegradability of the wastewater (B/C ratio ) can be increased to 0.4 , which satisfied the requirement for the subsequent biochemical processes.
