ABSTRACT:
Methods are provided for removing contaminants from an aqueous solution to yield a less contaminated aqueous effluent. In one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises coprecipitating non-volatile contaminants (i.e., heavy metals, light metals, cyanide, phenolics, oil and grease, TSS, BOD, COD, and/or TOC) with a carrier precipitate which is formed in situ within the aqueous solution. In another embodiment of the invention, the method comprises partitioning volatile organic contaminants between a liquid phase and a gas phase. In yet a further embodiment, the above versions of the invention are simultaneously performed in the same reaction vessel.
