Abstract
Chlorinated aromatics, nitroaromatics and azoaromatics are commonly present in industrial wastewater. This product demonstrates the feasibility of using elemental iron to pretreat wastewater, thus making these compounds more biodegradable prior to entering biological treatment processes, such as activated sludge. It shows that the iron treatment to transform certain non-biodegradable compounds to readily biodegradable products is a potentially inexpensive and low-maintenance treatment.

Originally funded as WERF project 99-CTS-3UR.
