Abstract
Literature data on the following topics is reviewed: formation of the wastewater stream at coke plants; the composition of the untreated and treated wastewater; and the physicochemical properties of the pollutants present. The high residual bichromate oxidizability (chemical oxygen demand) of biologically treated wastewater is found to be largely due to secondary pollutants formed in the endogenic respiration of active sludge (intermediate and final metabolites).
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes scientific developments and applications in the field of coal beneficiation and preparation for coking, coking processes, design of coking ovens and equipment, by-product recovery, automation of technological processes, ecology and economics. It also presents indispensable information on the scientific events devoted to thermal rectification, use of smokeless coal as an energy source, and manufacture of different liquid and solid chemical products.
