AI Article Synopsis
- The study identified major toxic substances in pigment wastewater, specifically Cr(VI) and o-toluidine, using Daphnia magna in toxicity identification evaluations (TIEs).
- For the effluent, organic anions were indicated as the main contributors to toxicity.
- Treatments combining gamma-rays and ozone were found to be more effective in reducing toxicities in raw wastewater compared to using gamma-rays alone, with total removal of acute toxicity in pigment effluent.
Article Abstract
In this study, major toxicants in pigment wastewaters (i.e. raw wastewater and effluent) were determined by toxicity identification evaluations (TIEs), and changes in their toxicities due to combined gamma-ray (gamma-ray) and ozone treatments were evaluated. From TIE results using Daphnia magna, Cr(VI) and o-toluidine were identified as major toxicants in the raw wastewater with concentrations of 2.47 and 25.3mg l(-1), respectively. This was confirmed by subsequent spiking and mass balance approaches. For effluent, TIE results suggested that organic anions were likely responsible for the observed toxicities. Toxicity reduction tests showed that gamma-rays with ozone treatment after coagulation was more efficient in reducing toxicities in the raw wastewater (3.9-2.0 TU) than gamma-ray treatment alone (3.9-3.1 TU). For pigment effluent, gamma-ray/O3 treatment resulted in a complete removal of the acute toxicity.
