ABSTRACT
In this study the process of tannery wastewater treatment by electrocoagulation and coagulation with FeCl3 followed by advanced oxidation processes (Fenton reaction, O3/OH-, O3/H2O2, H2O2/UV) was investigated. Electrocoagulation resulted in a slightly better purification effect than coagulation. The purification effect obtained by AOPs decreased in the order: Fenton reaction 3/OH- 3/H2O2 2O2/UV. A two-step process (coagulation + H2O2/UV method) resulted in 93-94% reduction of COD. Coagulation followed by Fenton reaction in 30 min. was recognized as the best method of purification of tannery wastewaters - COD was reduced by 85-88%. The concentration of ammonium ions was decreased by 62-64% when O3/OH- method was applied.
