The removal of 1,4-dioxane from polyester manufacturing process wastewater using an up-flow Biological Aerated Filter (UBAF) packed with tire chips
1,4-Dioxane is one of the by-products from the polyester manufacturing process, which has been carelessly discharged into water bodies and is a weak human carcinogen. In this study, a laboratory-scale, up-flow biological aerated filter (UBAF), packed with tire chips, was investigated for the treatment of 1,4-dioxane. The UBAF was fed with effluent, containing an average of 31 mg/L of 1,4-dioxane, discharged from an anaerobic treatment unit at H Co. in the Gumi Industrial Complex, South Korea. In the batch, a maximum of 99.5 % 1,4-dioxane was removed from an influent containing 25.6 mg/L. In the continuous mode, the optimal empty bed contact time (EBCT) and air to liquid flow rate (A:L) were 8.5 hours and 30:1, respectively. It was also found that the removal efficiency of 1,4-dioxane increased with increasing loading rate within the range 0.04 to 0.31 kg 1,4-dioxane/m3·day. However, as the COD:1,4-dioxane ratio was increased within the range 3 to 46 (mg/L COD)/(mg/L 1,4-dioxane), the removal efficiency unexpectedly decreased.
