Treating and reusing wastewater generated by the washing operations in the non-hazardous plastic solid waste recycling process: Advanced method vs. conventional method

The effectiveness of an advanced treatment of wastewater generated by non-hazardous plastic solid waste (PSW) washing, based on the Sequencing Batch Biofilter Granular Reactor (SBBGR), was assessed in terms of gross parameters, removal efficiencies and sludge production. The proposed treatment was also compared with the conventional treatment, which was based on primary and secondary treatments, using the activated sludge process, performed by...
