Assessing pollution levels and implementing eco-friendly hybrid sedimentation and sono-electrocoagulation for car wash wastewater treatment
This study aimed to evaluate car wash wastewater and explore the potential application of sedimentation and sono-electrocoagulation (SEC) as a hybrid physicochemical process to remove chemical oxygen demand (COD). Wastewater was collected from various car wash stations, its quality was assessed, and the influence of different operational factors on COD reduction was evaluated. Analyzing the physicochemical properties of wastewater samples from car wash stations demonstrates that the average pH value is 7.92, which adheres to EPA guidelines. However, the electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), and turbidity levels surpass the standards. COD levels are close to municipal wastewater, with high microbial colonies detected. The average number of cars washed in each car wash was 20 units/day, consuming 120 L of water. A daily amount of 259.2 m3 of wastewater is produced at car wash centers in this region, with COD and TSS pollution loads of 54.06 and 104.76 kg/year, respectively. This wastewater is directed to the municipal sewer collection system. The maximum removal of COD was achieved at 89.57 % in a 7.5 pH, 1.2 cm aluminum inter-electrode distance, 25 V of current density, and 45 min of electrolysis time, using sedimentation and SEC as a hybrid process. The results of this study demonstrated that the hybrid process significantly reduces the COD levels in car wash wastewater. This approach exhibits high efficiency in pollution removal and substantially reduces operational costs, aligning with global efforts to increase water-use efficiency and contributing to SDG-6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth is an international interdisciplinary journal for the rapid publication of collections of refereed communications in separate thematic issues, either stemming from scientific meetings, or, especially compiled for the occasion. There is no restriction on the length of articles published in the journal. Physics and Chemistry of the Earth incorporates the separate Parts A, B and C which existed until the end of 2001.
Please note: the Editors are unable to consider submissions that are not invited or linked to a thematic issue. Please do not submit unsolicited papers.
The journal covers the following subject areas:
-Solid Earth and Geodesy:
(geology, geochemistry, tectonophysics, seismology, volcanology, palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism, electromagnetism and potential fields, marine and environmental geosciences as well as geodesy).
-Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere:
(hydrology and water resources research, engineering and management, oceanography and oceanic chemistry, shelf, sea, lake and river sciences, meteorology and atmospheric sciences incl. chemistry as well as climatology and glaciology).
-Solar-Terrestrial and Planetary Science:
(solar, heliospheric and solar-planetary sciences, geology, geophysics and atmospheric sciences of planets, satellites and small bodies as well as cosmochemistry and exobiology).
