Notes:
The carbonised solid residue of olive mill products, called J-carbon (0·6-0·7 mm), was compared with Sigma activated carbon (powder) and Chemviron activated carbon (0·6-0·7 mm) in treatment of the effluent of Flexsys' wastewater. The removal of NH3, TOC as non-specific organics, and six specific leading organic pollutants from Flexsys' wastewater effluent were examined. All three different carbon sources have almost similar behaviour in removing the above pollutants; the removal efficiencies were as follows: Sigma carbon: benzothiazole, 1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline, N-dimorpholinyl ketone, methylsulphyl benzothiazole and methyl-2-benzothiazole sulphone 100%〉TOC 94%〉NH3 82%〉tetrachloroethene 50%. Chemviron carbon: benzothiazole, 1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline, N-dimorpholinyl ketone, methylsulphyl benzothiazole and methyl-2-benzothiazole sulphone 100%〉NH3 87%〉TOC 40%〉tetrachloroethene 31%. J-carbon: benzothiazole, methylsulphyl benzothiazole and methyl-2-benzothiazole sulphone 100%〉NH3 78%〉1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline 70%〉tetrachloroethene 58%〉N-dimorpholinyl ketone 50%〉TOC 37%. © 1998 SCI
