Summary
This current research focuses on investigating the synergistic effect of combining the two pre-treatment methods in order to achieve more enhanced degradation of industrial and municipal wastewater and sludge. In this stride, an experimental study pilot scale study will be conducted in a setup, and The study will investigate the possibility of including various hydrodynamic cavitation and oxidation techniques for enhanced solid solubilization of coal mine wastewater degradation it is known that cavitation technologies can be integrated effectively with any of conventional methods for attaining techno-economically feasible solution for wastewater treatment.
Objectives
The specific objective of this study includes
- Investigating the effect of hydrodynamic cavitation and oxidation on the performance of aerators in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants.
- Investigating the effects of combined pre-treatment on product generation, solid reduction and waste stabilization dewaterability and selection of the best pre-treatment technique from test on both synthetic and sludge.
- To optimize the operational parameters in an experimental setup that involves hydrodynamic cavitation and oxidation pretreatment processes.
- To compare the existing process against the proposed technology in terms of energy usage and chemical consumption.
