摘要：
Manufacturing processes in semiconductor and photonics industries involve the use of a significant amount of organic solvents. Recycle and reuse of these solvents produce distillate residues and require treatment before being discharged. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the biological treatment system in a full-scale wastewater treatment plant that treats wastewater containing distillate residues from the recycling of electronic chemicals. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the optimal operational conditions for the full-scale wastewater treatment plant. To achieve good nitrogen removal efficiency with effluent ammonia and nitrate concentrations below 20 mg N/L and 50 mg N/L, respectively, it was suggested to control the ammonia concentration and pH of the influent below 500 mg N/L and 8.0, respectively. In addition, the biodegradability of N-methylpyrrolidone, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and cyclopentanone distillate residues from the electronic chemicals manufacturing process were evaluated under aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic conditions. N-methylpyrrolidone and cyclopentanone distillate residues were suggested to be treated under anoxic condition. However, substrate inhibition occurred when using cyclopentanone distillate residue as a carbon source with chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels higher than 866 mg/L and nitrate levels higher than 415 mg N/L. Under aerobic condition, the COD from both N-methylpyrrolidone and cyclopentanone distillate residues could be easily degraded. Nevertheless, a negative effect on nitrification was observed, with a prolonged lag time for ammonia oxidation as the initial COD concentration increased. The specific ammonia oxidation rate and nitrate production rate decreased under high COD concentration contributed by N-methylpyrrolidone and cyclopentanone distillate residues. Furthermore, the biodegradability of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether distillate residue was found to be low under aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic conditions. With respect to the abundance of nitrogen removal microorganisms in the wastewater treatment plant, results showed that Comammox may have an advantage over ammonia oxidizing bacteria under high pH conditions. In addition, Comammox may have higher resistance to environmental changes. Dominance of Comammox over ammonia oxidizing bacteria under high ammonia condition was first reported in this study. © 2024
