Evaluation the Impact of NFC-dopped Titania Photocatalyst on Initial Inert COD Fraction of Çorlu Town Domestic Wastewater
Abstract
In this paper, experimental studies were carried out to determine the impact of NFC dopped Titania, which is proven success in emerging pollutants such as antibiotic and color removal as a photocatalyst, on influent non-biodegradable COD fraction of Çorlu town domestic wastewater treatment plant. The determination of SI and XI components of wastewaters which are exposed (raw + photocatalyst) and unexposed (raw) to the NFC-dopped titania, are based on the experimental method carried out in both raw and filtred reactors which are run parallel to the glucose reactor prepared as same concentration with filtered wastewater. All reactors had been run thorugh 30 days in batch reactor mode. According to the results; total and soluble COD were measured as 535 mg/L and 315 mg/L, repectively and ST0/CT0 ratio was calculated as 59%. Furthermore, at the end of the experimental study, COD removal ratio for both reactors were calculated as 67 % and 60% for total COD and 77% and %75 for soluble COD. Inert COD fractions of both wastewaters were found for Soluble Inert COD (SI0) as 23 mg /L and 9 mg/L, particulate inert COD (XI0) as 56 mg /L and 60 mg/L and CI0/CT0 ratio was calculated as 15% and 13%. These all results shows that, after photocatalyst exposition, at the end of the 30 days, it was not observed any important variation in terms of inert total COD fraction between two reactors. Furthermore, it is understood that at the end of the 30 days, while soluble inert fraction reduces 2%, particulate inert fraction also increases 2%. The reason of this situation can be thought as the adsorbtion effect of NFC-dopped Titania.
