海报摘要

Chemical industries manufacture a wide range of products, which periodically can change their production in terms of quality and quantity. Changing the production will affect the wastewater characterization. Besides organic load, chemical industry wastewater includes heavy metals, solvents, priority substances and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) (EU BREF, 2006). Therefore, chemical industry needs to review the treatment process efficiency regularly (SUEZ, 2020). This study includes identifying the main EDCs in the effluents of two different chemical industry facilities, evaluating the treatment efficiencies of EDCs in conventional wastewater treatment systems and investigating the performance of treatment and to assess the post-treatment requirement to prevent pollution of natural resources.
