Tóm tắt

Benzotriazole is used as corrosion inhibitor in many industrial sectors, such as the dairy industry. Due to its widespread use in various applications and everyday consumer products, this chemical easily reaches the aquatic environment, where it may have deleterious effects. In fact, benzotriazole has been included among the so-called emerging contaminants. In this work, the occurrence and fate of a benzotriazole based anticorrosive (BTA-A) during wastewater treatment in a dairy industry has been assessed. At this dairy, a new system for wastewater treatment based on the injection of pure oxygen was recently started. This system has been proved to be efficient, economic and able to stably operate under a wide range of chemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids inputs. Then, after detecting the presence of BTA-A in the effluent of the wastewater treatment plant, it was aimed to optimize oxygen injection for the removal of this anticorrosive together with the regulated parameters. The performance of the system was evaluated at a real scale during a month period, during which the mean removal performance of the oxygen injection based treatment was 91%, 90% and 99% for chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids and BTA-A, respectively.
