Degradation of Recalcitrant Surfactants in Wastewater by Ozonation and Advanced Oxidation Processes: A Review

Ikehata, Keisuke, El-Din, Mohamed Gamal·2004·Ozone: Science & Engineering

Abstract

Surfactants are used in varieties of industrial cleansing processes as well as in consumer products. Spent surfactants normally enter domestic or industrial wastewater and are treated biologically. However, some of them are resistant to biodegradation and are released into the environment. Thus, the toxicity and environmental persistence of these surfactants are emerging concerns. Based on extensive review of the literature, ozonation and advanced oxidation using various combinations of ozone, hydrogen peroxide, ultraviolet light irradiation, and iron salts were found effective in degrading recalcitrant surfactants, including linear alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkylphenol ethoxylates, and quaternary ammonium surfactants. Biodegradability of these surfactants was improved after the treatment to some extent in the aqueous solution as well as in real wastewaters.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
