Abstract

Secondary effluent from a sampling of municipal wastewater was treatedby an ozone-ceramic biofilter (O3-CBF) system following treatments with coagulation,sedimentation and sand filtration. The system was operated under an ozoneconsumption dose of 5 mg/L and different HRTs of CBF (10–30 min) for overeight months. The mean removals of CODMn, DOC, UV254, and chroma were 31.0,24.0, 42.2 and 79.3%, respectively, under a CBF HRT of 10 min. Further increasingHRT did not lead to a remarkable improvement in pollutant removal. Ames testsecondary effluent. The mutagenic activity in TA98-S9 was decreased from 2.97 to1.45 (MR/L) by O3, and to 1.3 (MR/L) by the following CBF treatment. 105 ~ 108count/L of total bacteria and 102 ~ 105 count/L of E. coli were detected in the conventionaltreatment effluent, which could not satisfy the hygienical requirements forreclamation. Batch O3 tests demonstrated that complete inactivation of E. coli couldbe achieved at an ozone dose of 12 mg/L.
