Technical Bulletin No. 0626: A Screening Study of the Treatability of Dioxins and Furans in Bleach Plant Filtrates and Mill Wastewaters

This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of various physical-chemical options for the removal of 2378-TCDD/F in bleach plant filtrates and treated wastewaters. Laboratory work was conducted with various coagulation chemicals including polymers, alum, and lime. Alum and lime were generally only effective at high dosages in removing TCDD/F.
