Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/100903
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A hybrid activated iron-biological treatment system and method for treating wastewater. The treatment system includes a combination of zero valent iron, ferrous iron, an iron oxide, and a denitrification microorganism. The present invention provides hybrid activated iron-biological systems and methods for treating a contaminated fluid to remove or reduce the concentration of the contaminant in the fluid. In one aspect, the invention provides a treatment system for removing or reducing the concentration of a contaminant in a fluid. In one embodiment, the system includes an activated iron (abiotic) component comprising a reactive solid comprising (a) zero-valent iron and one or more iron oxide minerals in contact therewith, and (b) ferrous iron, in combination with a biological (biotic) component comprising one or more denitrification microorganisms.
