Biodegradability enhancement and detoxification of cork processing wastewater molecular size fractions by ozone

Abstract: The fraction with molecular size >100 kDa corresponds to 56% of the organic load. Molecular size of pollutants is a major constraint to biodegradability. Ozone efficiency for improving biodegradability increases with molecular size. To raise biodegradability by ozonation the best outcome was with compounds >20 kDa.

“…An advanced oxidation process using Fenton Four UF membranes were used to fractionate cork boiling wastewater pollutants into five separate fractions (100 kDa, 50-100 kDa, 20-50 kDa, 10-20 kDa, and under 10 kDa). Biodegradability was enhanced after ozonation pretreatment of the 20 kDa and higher fractions (Santos et al, 2013).…”

“…Consequently, ozonation can participate in the polymerisation of metastable organic substances leading to their enmeshment, direct precipitation, bridging or adsorption and subsequent removal (Santos et al 2013). Ozone is best generated in situ using energy sources such as the electrolytic process or cheminuclear, high voltage corona discharge or UV light (at a wavelength less than 200 nm).…”
