AI Article Synopsis
- Cork boiling wastewaters (CBW) are highly polluted, colored liquids needing effective treatment; a study evaluated a method using ozonation combined with horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HSFCW).
- Ozonation significantly improved the removal rates of harmful substances like COD and phenols, with a notable increase in biodegradability and decolorization, particularly when plants (P. australis) were involved.
- The most effective results were achieved at a specific organic loading rate (OLR), drastically reducing COD and total phenols in the effluent with minimal ozone usage.
Article Abstract
Cork boiling wastewaters (CBW) are strongly coloured complex aqueous solutions with high organic load of biorecalcitrant and toxic nature. The feasibility and efficiency of a CBW treatment process combining ozonation as pre- and post-treatment of a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSFCW) was assessed. Over an extended monitoring period of 390 days, two lab-scale HSFCW units were tested; one planted with P. australis (CWP) and one unplanted-control (CWC) operated at average organic loads rates (OLR) of 5 and 10 g COD/m/d. CWP always outperformed the control unit. The ozonation trials were run at pH values of 8.15-8.21 and 5.39-5.45 (without adjustment) at ozone to COD ratios of 0.25-0.29 and 0.24-0.59 when implemented as pre- and post-treatment, respectively. Average removals (calculated through mass balance basis) were 78-88%, 86-91%, 71-89% and 43-89% for COD, BOD, Total Phenols (TPh) and colour when ozonation was implemented as post-treatment. For ozonation as pre-treatment, respective figures were 77-80%, 79-92%, 78-85% and 19-73%. Regardless of the treatment scheme and OLR, ozonation was very effective in biodegradability increase (i.e., BOD/COD) from 0.18 to 0.42 when applied as pre-treatment, and decolourization after the HSFCW increased from 21% to 91% (post-treatment) with respective ozone consumed yields of 67-69% and 72-85%. The best results were obtained for the scheme CWP + Ozonation at OLR of 5.33 g COD/m/d with COD reductions from 1950 mg/L to 81-88 mg/L in the effluent and TPh from 125 mg/L to 5-6 mg/L at limited ozone amounts of 0.21-0.45 g O/m/d.

The effects of boiling water treatment on the physical properties of Quercus variabilis virgin cork (Qv VC) were examined and compared with those of Quercus suber reproduction cork (Qs RC). The water treatment was conducted at 100 °C for 1 h. Qv VC showed a significantly higher dimensional change in the three directions and lower weight loss than Qs RC by boiling water treatment.

Natural stoppers are a magnificent closure for the production of aging wines and unique wines, whose application is limited by the availability of raw materials and more specifically of cork sheets of different thickness and quality. The growing demand for quality wine bottle closures leads to the search for alternative stopper production. The two-piece stopper is an alternative since it uses non-usable plates in a conventional way for the production of quality caps.
