EVALUATION OF FENTON SYSTEM EFFICIENCY ON THE WASTEWATER OF MOSCAFRUT PLANT

Abstract

The industrial sector in recent years has expanded and developed rapidly which has led to a proportional growth of wastewater. Given the importance of search management strategies for these waters, this work was evaluated at laboratory scale application of an advanced chemical oxidation treatment "Fenton System" Waste Water Plant Breeding and Sterilization of Flies Fruit and parasitoids (MOSCAFRUT). The waters were treated separately as water and process service, and the mixture of both, developing tests with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate. Preliminary results and process water mixture were analyzed by two-factor under 3 * 3, service water, because they presented removal efficiencies of 100%, it was necessary to apply the fix. Optimal concentrations and treatment for waters were mixed 29498 ppm H2O2, FeSO4 6000 ppm, and 23598 ppm H2O2, FeSO4 6000 ppm, for service water, with a reaction time of 90 minutes. The physicochemical properties were assessed before and after treatment, where removal efficiencies were obtained from 90 to 100% for COD, 90% for total suspended solids, 73% for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), 68% for total nitrogen, 74% to 87% and total phosphorus to fats. Microbiological analysis performed post treatment to water indicated the presence of microorganisms is zero.
