Production of biosolids and humic-like materials through alkaline treatment of influent wastewater with phenols.: -: -

Abstract

The wastewater treatment for irrigation purposes or for biosolids production for agricultural use, as soil conditioner or compost, is the goal of many researches. The current dissertation proposes an alternative wastewater treatment, using the natural phenols of gallic acid and tannic acid, under alkaline conditions, in order to produce biosolids and humic-like materials, highlighting a new and innovative role of phytochemical molecules in sustainable waste management.Initially, the structure and the physicochemical characteristics of biosolids produced in the municipal WWTPs of Amfissa, Delphi, Desfina, Galaxidi, Itea, Kyparissia and Nafpaktos were studied. The samples were characterized via ATR-FTIR and DRS UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques, their thermal stability was determined through TG/DTG analytical technique and their surface morphology was determined by SEM microscopy. The results showed that biosolids are non-porous materials, rich in organic matter (50-60%), with a great numb ...
