Abstract

In the context of the current policy of sustainable management of water resources, the forecasting of pollution risks and the protection of these resources are of paramount importance. For this purpose, the quality of these resources must be safeguarded in the medium and long term. Industrial development in Morocco has made this situation worrying for all socio-economic actors. In recent years, this economic growth has been marked by the establishment of slaughterhouses that discharge their liquid waste into watercourses or sewage networks. These discharges are likely to destabilize the environmental balance in the years to come, hence the need to take responsibility for treating all sources of pollution. The clean-up of these discharges requires several steps from the identification of the various pollutants to their treatment. This is why this initial work was carried out to characterize the wastewater from the Al-Hoceima slaughterhouse and to assess the performance of the treatment plant at this slaughterhouse. The results of the physicochemical analyses showed that the wastewater generated by this slaughterhouse is characterized by a neutral pH of 7.47, a high organic load of 1280 mg O2 L-1 COD, and a remarkable suspended solids content of 259 mL-1. Regarding the performance of the wastewater treatment plant connected to this slaughterhouse; The results show that this plant operates very efficiently, eliminating 65% of the COD, 70.6% of the BOD5 and 65.44% of the TSS, thus eliminating the organic matter, which is 67.82%. For the microbiological charge of these wastewater, the results showed that at the entrance the concentrations of fecal coliforms are 1×106 UFC mL-1, 15×107 UCF mL-1 fecal streptococci and 15×105 for yeast. The effluents discharged by the treatment plant comply with Moroccan standards.
摩洛哥Al-Hoceima屠宰场废水的理化特征
在当前水资源可持续管理政策的背景下,污染风险的预测和这些资源的保护是至关重要的。为此目的,必须在中期和长期内保障这些资源的质量。摩洛哥的工业发展使所有社会经济行动者都对这种情况感到担忧。近年来,这种经济增长的特点是建立了屠宰场,将其液体废物排放到水道或污水管网中。这些排放可能会在未来几年破坏环境平衡,因此需要承担起处理所有污染源的责任。这些排放的清理需要从确定各种污染物到处理它们的几个步骤。这就是为什么要进行这项初步工作,以确定Al-Hoceima屠宰场废水的特征,并评估该屠宰场处理厂的性能。理化分析结果表明,该屠宰场产生的废水具有中性pH为7.47,有机负荷为1280 mg O2 L-1 COD,悬浮物含量为259 mL-1的特点。关于与该屠宰场相连的污水处理厂的性能;结果表明,该装置运行效率高,COD去除率为65%,BOD5去除率为70.6%,TSS去除率为65.44%,有机物去除率为67.82%。对于这些废水的微生物电荷,结果表明,粪便大肠菌群在入口处的浓度为1×106 UFC mL-1, 15×107 UCF mL-1粪便链球菌和15×105酵母。该处理厂排放的污水符合摩洛哥标准。
