Abstract

Global production of paint generates a large volume of waste which affects human health and creates an environmental burden. The purpose of this study has been the evaluation of the performance and the control of the efficiency of a hybrid electro-thermochemical wastewater treatment technology able to transform dissolved pollutants into metal oxide/carbide powders and to produce water ready to be reused in manufacturing cycles. In this study, simple and fast method based on liquid–liquid extraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry has been proposed for the identification of environmental pollutants in industrial water effluents. Parameters affecting the liquid–liquid extraction efficiency were thoroughly studied to ensure high accuracy and precision of the method. The proposed method was successfully applied to the identification and determination of markers levels in a comparison study between the original and treated water effluents. Removal efficiency factors were defined and the power of removal was discussed in terms of weak, moderate, and significant markers removal. The evaluation showed significant removal of markers in water treatment processes employing various additives.
