| Description |
The main objective of this study was to
find out a cost-effective treatment methodology for
the treatment of palm oil effluent (POE) obtained
from a food processing industry. An electro-Fenton
pretreatment and biological oxidation has been suggested
for the removal of recalcitrant contaminants
present in POE. An initial COD of about 6,700 mg/L
of POE was subjected to electrolytic degradation for
2 h and subsequently by biological oxidation. The
biological oxidation was carried out using Aspergillus
niger and Pseudomonas putida in anaerobic condition.
Electro-Fenton process removed 48.35% of the
COD. Biological oxidation subsequently decreased
the COD to 86.12% and BOD to 85.23%. In the
combined process, a high reduction in TOC and TN
were achieved. Experimental conditions have been
optimized and performances of these techniques have
been discussed. The treated water can be reused for
general and agricultural purposes.
