Abstract
This summary document presents the results of research and development work pertaining to the treatment of biorefractory organic pollutants emanating from petrochemical processing plants. Specifically, it covers application of the unit operations of (1) carbon adsorption, (2) steam stripping, (3) solvent extraction, and (4) ozonation to a number of process effluents from halogenated hydrocarbon, isocyanate, acetylene, and styrene manufacturing industries. In addition to these unit operation evaluations, a study was undertaken to develop an activated carbon from a by-product soot which results from the manufacture of acetylene. Quantities of raw soot were dried, pretreated, pelletized, and activated to yield a product with commercial potential which had about 80 percent as much adsorption capacity as a similar commercial product.
