Treatment of coal coking and gasification wastewaters

Journal Article · · J. Water Pollut. Control Fed.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6139965
Studies were conducted with heavily contaminated effluents from coal coking operations and coal gasification processes to obtain basic engineering and design data for biological waste treatment. Specific objectives were to: determine the influence of wastewater compositional characteristics on pretreatment/ identify minimum dilution requirements/ evaluate biological treatment of effluents receiving different types of pretreatment: determine biological oxidation growth constants for treatment of effluents/ determine removal efficiencies for primary effluent contaminants/ and investigate parameters that effect biological oxidation of cyanide and thiocynate. Experimental results are presented.
