چکیده

افزایش مصرف MTBE به‌عنوان جانشین تترا اتیل سرب و آثار سوء آن بر محیط زیست، تصفیه فاضلاب حاوی آن را ضروری می‌نماید. با وجود کاربرد روش‌های فیزیکی و شیمیایی برای حذف MTBE، به دلایلی ازجمله هزینه‌بر بودن، تولید محصولات جانبی و راندمان کم، روش بیولوژیکی می‌تواند جایگزین مناسبی باشد. هدف از این تحقیق، بررسی قابلیت سیستم SBAR و بیوگرانول‌های هوازی در حذف ترکیب MTBE بود. فاضلاب به‌کار رفته سنتزی و شامل مواد مورد نیاز میکروارگانیسم‌ها بود. pH در محدوده 7 تا 8 و DO بین 2 تا 5 میلی‌گرم در لیتر تنظیم شد. برای بررسی مشخصات گرانول‌های تولید شده از TEM استفاده شد. نتایج حاصل بیانگر حذف بالغ بر 90 درصد COD اولیه 500 میلی‌گرم در لیتر پس از چهار ساعت بود که 28 و 5/1 درصد آن به‌ترتیب مربوط به نقش مکانیسم عریان‌سازی و جذب سطحی بود. گرانول‌های تشکیل شده رنگ قهوه‌ای، اندازه 2تا 6میلی‌متر، متوسط سرعت سقوط 65/0 سانتی‌متر بر ثانیه و دانسیته 055/0 گرم در میلی‌لیتر داشتند که بالاتر از فلوک‌ها بوده و درنتیجه فرایند ته‌نشینی در راکتور بهبود یافت. طبق نتایج حاصل از TEM،گونه‌های سیلیاته و روتیفر جمعیت غالب در گرانول‌ها را تشکیل می‌دادند.

چکیده [English]

The growing use of MTBE as a substitute for Tetraethyl lead and its adverse impacts on the environment warrant its removal from wastewater. Given the low efficiencty and the high cost associated with the chemical and physical processess commonly used for the removal of MTBE, which also release hazardous by-products into the environment, biological techniques have been explored as the more appropriate methods for its removal. This research seeks to investigate the feasibility of the SBAR system and aerobic biogranules for MTBE removal. For this purpose, a synthetic wastewater containing the materials needed for the microorganisms was used for the experiments and the pH level and DO were set to 7‒8 and 2‒5 mg/L, respectively. TEM was employed to characterize the granules. Results showed that over 90% of the initial COD (500 mg/L) was removed after 4h, which was attributed to the air stripping (28%) and sorption (1.5%) mechanisms. The resulting granules were brown in color, 2‒6 mm in size with a mean fall speed and a density equal to 0.65 cm/s and 0.055 g/ml, respectively. The superiority of the resulting granules to the flocs led to improved sedimentation in the reactor. Finally, TEM investigations showed that the sylyath and rotifer species formed the dominant populations in the granules.
