  1. 6. Considerations and Novel Technologies in Industrial Water Treatment - Treatment of challenging wastewater

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Nils Toll; [2021]
    Keywords : Industrial water treatment; considerations; novel technologies; BOD; COD; organic waste; heavy metals; desalination; Industriell vattenrening; nyckelfaktorer; nya teknologier; organiskt avfall; tungmetaller; avsaltning;

    Abstract : Industriell vattenrening är ett extremt viktigt område inom Miljöskyddsteknik då 60% av allt sötvatten inom Sverige används av industrier. Substanser som PFAS, aromatiska textilfärger, fenol och läkemedelsrester är extra utmanande då dessa kan vara gifta för biologisk rening. READ MORE

    Abstract : Serpentinization is a metamorphic low-temperature geological process, involving a series of chemical reactions that hydrate ultramafic rocks into serpentines and other minerals such as magnetite and brucite. Moreover, the process produces heavily reducing and highly alkaline fluids together with molecular hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), which have the capacity to support chemosynthetic microbial life.
