This study armed at the development of an adequate process for the odor control of a gas vented from a plant for treating olefin-resin manufacturing wastewater.The gas contains various aromatic and olefin compounds, such as toluene, £\-methyl styrene, vinyl toluene, styrene, naphthalene, dicyclopentadiene, and indene.Primary tests showed that these odorous compounds could not be effectively eliminated by a biotrickling filter packed with fern chips.Instead, these compounds can easily be removed or eliminated by using sodium hypochlorite as an oxidant and followed by sodium thiosulfate as a reductant for removing the residual chlorine odor.
Results indicate that by scrubbing the gas with sodium hypochlorite solution with an effective residual chlorine of 40-60 mg/L, pH of 7.9-9.8, and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of 500-760 mV, concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the test gas could be removed from 250 ppm (expressed as methane) to 23 ppm.Trace olefin and chlorine odors in the oxidized gas could further be removed by scrubbing it with an aqueous solution of 270 mg/L Na2S2O3.The overall VOC removal was around 92%.
