Abstract :
Wastewater discharged from Glyphosate manufacturing is a major environmental concern due to its
complicated treatment process. In this study, the performance of a sequencing batch reactor (MSBR)-adsorption
process treating Glyphosate wastewater was investigated. Operation results from SBR process showed that
effluent’s chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency, total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus
(TP) were 40 %, 105 mgL-1
and 55 mgL-1
, respectively. However, the result of TP concentration did not meet the
discharge limitation. The SBR effluent was then undergone an adsorption process using palm kernel shell-based
activated carbon (PKS-AC). Minimum adsorbent dosage of 7 gL-1 was needed to further reduce TP
concentration to discharge limitation of 2 mgL-1
.
