 If there is not enough time to degrade TrOCs in WWTPs, where do they go? A case study: Fate of 4-NP in secondary WWTPs

  • Annual production

worldwide ~ 500,000 T U.S ~ 200,000 T 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) is a metabolite of nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPnEOs)

  • NPnEOs are nonionic surfactants

O R C C OH n (3-20) H H H H

Compound of interest

  • 13 secondary WWTPs (GA, SC, KS)
  • Population served by the WWTPs:

5,000 to 0.5 million

  • Wastewater treated by the WWTPs:

0.75 MGD - 0.5 BGD

  • Biosolids produced in the WWTPs:

0.6 to 100,000 dry ton/ day

  • WWTPs are ineffective for 4-NP degradation

– there just not enough time!

  • 4-NP is sequestered by biosolids
  • Yes!

However

 Can WWTPs remove 4-NP from influent?  Can biosolids sequester other TrOCs?
