    Advanced treatment of coking wastewater by conventional and modified fenton processes
    (WILEY, 2013) Guclu, Dunyamin; Sirin, Nazan; Sahinkaya, Serkan; Sevimli, Mehmet Faik
    Coking wastewater contains high a concentration of refractory and toxic compounds to be treated before being discharged into the environment. The water quality usually cannot meet the discharge limits after conventional biological treatment processes. This article initially investigated the treatability of coking wastewater with conventional and modified Fenton processes for advanced treatment of coking wastewater. Based on the experimental results, up to 86% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 99.5% of phenol removals were achieved by the conventional Fenton process at original pH 7.8 within 60 min. pH adjustment was not performed due to the sudden drop in the original pH value, after the addition of Fenton's reagents. A modified Fenton process yielded comparable COD (82%) and phenol (98.5%) removals within 120 min at pH 3.0. The optimal operating conditions were determined as [Fe2+] = 300 mg/L, [H2O2] = 4000 mg/L, and pH = 7.8 for a conventional Fenton process, and [Fe0] = 300 mg/L, [H2O2] = 4500 mg/L, and pH = 3 for a modified Fenton process.

    Post-Treatment of Coking Industry Wastewater by the Electro-Fenton Process
    (WILEY, 2013) Guclu, Dunyamin; Sahinkaya, Serkan; Sirin, Nazan
    Effluents of the coking industry cannot be effectively treated in biological treatment units because of non-biodegradable organic matters and phenolic compounds present in the wastewater. In this study, post-treatment of biologically treated coking wastewater via the electro-Fenton process was investigated to minimize the effects of discharge of this kind of wastewater on the environment. The electro-Fenton experiments were performed using cast iron electrodes. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phenol were selected as the target parameters. The optimum operating conditions were as follows: reaction time = 10 minutes, pH = 3.0, electrical current = 1.0 A, and [H2O2] = 2000 mg/L. Under these conditions, COD and phenol removal efficiencies were 67.8% and 98.0%, respectively. In addition, it was determined that COD removal followed first-order reaction kinetics. Consequently, the electro-Fenton process was determined as an effective alternative post-treatment method for coking industry effluents.
