  • Landfill leachates and wastewater of maritime origin as possible sources of endocrine disruptors in municipal wastewater
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
    Co-Authors: Barbara K. Wilk, Sylwia Fudala-ksiazek, Małgorzata Szopińska, Aneta Luczkiewicz
    Abstract:

    In this study, wastewater from municipal services, such as a port wastewater reception facility (PRF-WW) and a municipal solid waste plant (MSWP), was tested for the presence of the suspected endocrine-disrupting compounds phthalates (PAEs) and bisphenol A (BPA). PAEs and BPA were found in this study in high concentrations in raw wastewater obtained from passenger ships (RMT-WWs) (up to 738 μg/L and 957 μg/L, respectively) collected in the Port of Gdynia and in landfill leachates (LLs) (up to 536 μg/L and up to 2202 μg/L, respectively) from a MSWP located near Gdynia. In particular, the presence of reprotoxic di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP, up to 536 μg/L in LLs and up to 738 μg/L in RMT-WWs) requires further action because if this compound, as well as other PAEs and BPA, is not degraded by activated sludge microorganisms, it may reach receiving waters and adversely impact aquatic organisms. Therefore, PAEs and BPA should be removed either during the onsite pretreatment of tested industrial wastewater or during tertiary treatment at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs, representing End-of-Pipe Technology).

  • Clean Technology in the crystal glass industry
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 1998
    Co-Authors: Hyuna Park, Kyujin Chung
    Abstract:

    Abstract Acid polishing of crystal glass generates hazardous wastes containing lead and fluoride to which very strict discharge limits are applied in Korea. However, with conventional End-of-Pipe Technology it is very difficult to meet the enforced effluent standards. The object of this study was to develop a zero-discharge system in the crystal glass industry in which treated wastewater is directly recycled to the manufacturing process. To establish the zero-discharge system, nanofiltration coupled with lime-precipitation was developed to remove scale-forming ions, such as calcium, sulphates and silicates, from wastewater and to obtain recycled water of high quality. This clean Technology has been applied to one crystal glass industry and it made four improvements possible: water conservation, wastewater treatment, recycling of treated wastewater and reduction of wastewater treatment facilities.
