Analysis of methods for treatment of industrial wastewaters containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Abstract

Various methods and stages of industrial wastewater treatment from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are estimated in the article. The development of technologies for the removal of toxic compounds from industrial wastewater is one of the key tasks for solving the problems of sustainable development. First of all, it is related to the fact that toxic compounds adversely affect the efficiency of wastewater treatment. They are not neutralized in natural processes, negatively affect the environment and, as a consequence the human health. Toxic compounds deplete nature’s ability to perform self purification and restoration of resources. One one of the most important resources is water. These toxic compounds include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
