Abstract
In this study, the effects of empty bed contact time (EBCT) and water temperature on the biodegradation of 9 halonitromethanes (HNMs) in biological activated carbon (BAC) process were investigated. Experiments were conducted at three water temperatures ($10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$) and three EBCTs (5, 10 and 15 min). Increasing EBCT and water temperature increased the biodegradation efficiency of HNMs in BAC column. Dibromochloronitromethane (DBCNM) and tribromonitromethane (TBNM) showed the highest biodegradation efficiency, but chloronitromethane (CNM) and dichloronitromethane (DCNM) were the lowest. The kinetic analysis suggested a pseudo-first-order reaction model for biodegradation of 7 HNMs at various water temperatures and EBCTs. The pseudo-first-order biodegradation rate constants ($k_{bio}$) of 7 HNMs ranged from $0.0797{\sim}0.7657min^{-1}$ at $10^{\circ}C$ to $0.1245{\sim}1.8421min^{-1}$ at $25^{\circ}C$. By increasing the water temperature from $10^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$, the biodegradation rate constants ($k_{bio}$) were increased 1.6~2.4 times.
