Abstract

In this work, a synthetic TCF effluent containing vanillin, glyoxal, sodium formate, sodium acetate and the chelanting agents EDTA and DTPA was treated using, O3, O3/H2O2, O3/UV, UV, UW H2O2 and UV/H2O2/O3 at pH 7 and 11. The best results were obtained in the O3/UV process. Ozone alone did not degrade EDTA neither DTPA. A combined O3/UV (pH 7.0 by 15 min)- biological treatment was very efficient in the removal of the chelants (98 %) and COD (95 %).
