Options for Removing Refractory Organic Substances in Pre-Treated Process Water from Hydrothermal Carbonization

Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption, as well as ozonation in combination with biodegradation was investigated in order to remove refractory organics from biologically pre-treated process waters (PW) produced by the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spent grains and fine mulch. Kinetic tests...
