The chemical industries currently release pollutants into air, soil, and water. For rubber industry, large amount of wastewater is produced resulting in huge energy demand for water treatment. However, there are several restriction factors for wastewater treatment i. e., contaminated oil from machinery and foul odour from organic matter caused by microbial enzymes. To overcome these problems, this research focused on wastewater treatment from rubber industry via ozonolysis. Two cases of experiments were carried out in a bubble column with capacity of 500 ml including with and without ozonolysis. Ozone concentration were maintained at 64 mg/L. Samples of 10 ml were collected every 4 h and then analyzed by GC- MS. The BOD, COD, and operating cost were investigated. The results showed that the BOD and COD decrease by 40% when ozonolysis was applied. The colour of wastewater become clear after ozonolysis. In addition, the operating cost of ozonolysis process is lower than that of without ozonolysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
