An Overview of Coking Wastewater Characteristics and Treatment Technologies

Karakteristike i obrada otpadne vode koksne industrije

Croatian Society of Chemical Engineers 2023

Coke is a high-calorie carbon mass obtained by dry distillation of coal, and used in various processes, the most significant of which is production of iron and steel. Coke production is present worldwide, especially in recent years when due to economic growth the global demand for steel is growing, which consequently increases demand for coke. During coke production, enormous amounts of toxic wastewater of extremely complex composition are generated. Priority pollutants that coking wastewater contains are phenols, cyanides, and thiocyanates. For successful treatment of such wastewater and achieving safety discharge standards, the application of a single process is insufficient. Accordingly, a combination of different physicochemical and biological treatment procedures, of which biological treatment is the most important, should be applied. In this article, a literature review of coking wastewater characteristics and treatment technologies is presented. In addition, this review addresses the complexity and limitations associated with coking wastewater treatment, with special emphasis on biological treatment methods. The aim of this review was to summarise the current knowledge on coking wastewater treatment technologies, which could eventually help optimisation of existing solutions.
Koks je visoko kalorično umjetno gorivo koje se upotrebljava u proizvodnji željeza i čelika, a dobiva se suhom destilacijom ugljena. Proizvodnja koksa zastupljena je širom svijeta, osobito posljednjih godina, kad zbog ekonomskog rasta raste i svjetska potražnja za čelikom, što kao posljedicu ima i povećanu potrebu za koksom. Tijekom proizvodnje koksa nastaju enormne količine toksične otpadne vode izrazito kompleksnog sastava, a prioritetne onečišćujuće tvari koje sadrži su fenoli, cijanidi i tiocijanati. Za uspješno pročišćavanje te vrste otpadne vode i postizanje izlaznih parametara primjena jednog procesa nije dovoljna. Shodno tome, primjenjuje se kombinacija različitih fizikalno-kemijskih i bioloških postupaka obrade, od kojih je biološka obrada najvažnija. U ovom radu dan je literaturni pregled karakteristika otpadne vode koksne industrije i načini njihova pročišćavanja. Osim toga, ovaj pregled osvrće se na složenost i ograničenja povezana s pročišćavanjem koksne otpadne vode, s posebnim naglaskom na metode biološke obrade. Cilj ovog rada je sažeti dosadašnja znanja o otpadnoj vodi koksne industrije, što bi u konačnici pomoglo u optimizaciji postojećih rješenja.
