SUMMARY

Thiosulfate is an inoraanic sulfur comPound of environmental significance. It originaies from sulfu; d textile finishing, flotation mill treating lea pulp mill , coal carbonizing, refinery and industries. B i odegradat i on of t h i osul fate depletion and acidification o f surface waters. also known as an antichlor which increases ch water treatment. It is desirable that thiosu from waste effluents.

the treatment and . " recovery options for managing thiosulfate waste stream. In general, these goals have been met.

A strategy involving the treatment of thiosulfate and an organic feed was developed. The treatment process was an extended aeraton activated sludge process containing a mixed population of heterotrophs and thiobacillus. At hydraulic detention times of 24 and 48 hours, the process was operative at thiosulfate loadings as high as 5.0 and 7.5 grams o f thiosulfate per reactor volume per day, respectively, and the settleability of the activated sludge was satisfactory.

An innovative approach was developed to totally solidify the thiosulfate waste stream, resulting in a "zero discharge" of the waste effluent. The approach involes (a) the removal of trace organic impurities from the waste stream using activated carbon column, and ( b ) crystallization of thiosulfate salt from the supersaturated solution. The entire crystallization process can be complete in less than two hours.

INTRODUCTION

antomycotic and anti sources of thiosu manufacturing, text zinc ore, kraft pulp chemical industries.

B iodearada t ion

Thiosulfate is an inorganic sulfur compound of environmental significance. It is used commercially as photographic fixer, dechlorinating agent in the bleaching industry, fertilizer in the form of ammonium salt, reducing agent for chemical analysis, and

arasitic agents in dermatology. Industrial fate wastes originate from sulfur dye le finishing, flotation mill treating lead- mill, coal carbonizing, refinery and certain

of thiosulafte causes oxygen depletion and acidification of surface waters. Thiosulfate is also known as an antichlor which increases chlorine demands in water treatment. Therefore, it is desirable that thiosulfate be removed from waste ef fl uents.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of research was to examine the treatment and recovery options for managing thiosulfate waste stream. The current statewide program of "pollution prevention pays" has encouraged industries t o implement a1 ternate waste management practices with an emphasis on waste reduction, recovery, and reuse as a viable economic solution. This research has responded to such a need and served as a pioneer project for recovery of inorganic salts.

An improved biological treatment scheme for thiosulfate waste stream was studied. The scheme employed an extended aeration activated sludge process for treating the combined stream of thiosulfate and organic wastes. The rate of biodegradation of the combined stream was studied, using batch activated sludge experiments.

2

The recovery of thiosulfate salt was based on a seeded crystallization process which provided a total solidification of the thiosulfate stream, resulting in "zero discharge" of the waste effluent. Some pretreatment of the thiosulfate stream was necessary to remove organic impurities, prior to crystallization.

This project also represents a cooperative industry- university venture for process research and development.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

1. Physical and Chemical Properties of Thiosulfate

The structural formulas of sulfur compounds and the oxidation states o f various inorganic sulfur compounds are presented in Figure 1 and Table 1, respectively. Table 2 provides information on the solubility of thiosulfate in aqueous solutions, In the table, those hydrates belonging to group (I) are called primary hydrates, and those beloning to groups (11), (111) ( I V ) and ( V ) are called secondary, tertiary, quaternary and quintary hydrates, respectively. The transition of hydrates occurs in such a way that the members of one group undergo transition into members of the same group but not into members of another group. The solubility o f thiosulfate is affected by the presence of inorganic salts, e.g. sodium sulfate (see Figure 2 ) , and organic compounds such as ethyl alcohol. Specific gravity o f thiosulfate solution is given in Table 3 .

as related to the degree of hydration.

Thiosulfate can be oxidized to sulfate or reduced to sulfides, depending on the redox reactions involved. It is relatively stable at neutral pH and its aqueous solution can be autoclaved with little or no decomposition. The decomposition of thiosulfate can be enhanced by the catalytic action o f metal ions, e.g. silver ion. In alkaline solution, thiosulfate decomposes into sulfide and sulfate (or sulfite):

2. Biological Oxidation of Thiosulfate

Thiosulfate can be oxidized to polythionates and ultimately

chemoautotrophic sulfur bacteria, (b) photosynthetic sulfur bacteria, and (c) certain heterotrophic bacteria and some fungi. Members of the first group, e.g. Thiobacillus, oxidize sulfur compounds to sulfate as the principal source of energy for growth, and use carbon dioxide as the carbon source. The photosynthetic sulfur bacteria depend on sun light for growth and oxidize sulfur compounds as a source of biological reducing potential. The third group of heterotrophic bacteria utilizes organic substrates for energy and carbon sources,and carries out limited oxidation of sulfur sompounds (Kelly, 1968). In the activated sludge treatment environment, heterotrophs and, particularly, thiobacillus are the two predominant types of microorganisms responsible for thiosulfate degradation.

to sulfate by three groups o f microorganisms: (a)

The genus thiobacillus comprises a small number of closely related species, including mainly thiobacillus thioparus, deni trif icans , thSooxidans, ferrooxidans , thiocyanoxidans, novellus and others. They are gram negative, non-spore forming rods, measuring from 0.5 to 1.3 microns, which, except the nonmotile thiobacillus novellus, are polarly flagellated (Vishniac and Santer, 1975). These microorganisms are obligate autotrophic with the exception of thiobacillus novellus which grows on organic substrates. Thiobacillus thiooxidans can tolerate extremely acidic conditions. Other strains vary in their tolerence toward the acid environment.

3. Oxidation Pathways

Two distinctly different mechanisms, which may not be mutually exclusive, were described for the oxidation of thiosulfate by thiobacillus, see Figures 3 and 4 (silver, 1978). In the first mechanism, thiosulfate is cleaved by the enzyme rhodanese or thiosulfate reductase with the formation of bound or free sulfite. Sulfite is then oxidized to sulfate via the intermediate formation of adenosine phosphate ( A P S ) , or by a cytochrome c-mediated oxidation.

Alternatively, two molecules of thiosulfate may condense to form tetrathionate. Sulfite is then hydrolyzed in two yet

above 2 ppm, and in the presence of 1 ppm of phosphate ion. Above 1 to 2 ppm of phosphate concentrations, phosphate ion appeared to have a slighly inhibitory effect.

The effects of nutrients and environmental conditions on thiosulfate degradation in batch activated sludge experiments were investigated by Jacquez (1976) . The synthetic feed was made of thiosulfate and other inorganic nutrients. Ammonium nitrogen in the concentration range o f 5 to 35 ppm was found to influence the overall oxidation only to a very limited extent. The oxidation of thiosulfate was followed by an accumulation of polythionates, a gradual production of sulfate, and a substantial decrease in pH. The cultures feeded by 1, 10 and 100 ppm phophorus completely exhausted the supply o f thiosulfate in 180, 135 and 140 hours, respectively. Polythionates decreased gradually in the absence of thiosulfate. At a phosphorus concentration o f 1000 ppm, the overall oxidation of thiosulfate was greatly suppressed although polythionates and sulfate were produced during the earlier stages.

5. Continuous Activated Sludge Studies

The use of continuous activated sludge process in treating thiosulfate was reported by Graham (1962). With influent thiosulfate concentrations ranged from 1,000 to 10,000 mg/l (equicalent to thiosulfate loadings of 0.8 to 9.0 g/day-liter of reactor volume), the treatment process was able to achieve 95 to almost 100% thiosulfate removal. Other studies of thiosulfate treatment have also been reported in the literature (Eccles, 1971; Dagon, 1973; Kreye et al., 1973; Garrison et al., 1973 and Watkins, 1977). In genernal, the most commonly encountered problems in treating thiosulfate by the continuous activated sludge process are: (a) poor sludge settleability, (b) foam formation, (c) low pH conditions that adversely affect the metabolism of the heterotrophs, and (d) deposition of elemental sulfur outside the bacterial cell.

6. Recovery of Inorganic Salts

A screening methodology for the recovery of ionic compounds is presented in Figure 5. As seen from this figure, the available options for the recovery of thiosulfate salt include: crystallization, electrolysis, ionic extraction and ionic adsorption. In this research, the choice of crystallization was based on a local industry's need for one of its plant's operation.

As a waste stream is concentrated, the concentration of dissolved salt reaches its solubility limit and becomes super-

saturated. Upon cooling, crystallization occurs and the crystallized salt can be recovered. The application of crystallization in water treatment was reported by Nancollas and Michael (1974). The use of crystal-seeding method to accelerate the crystallization process was studied for lime-softening sludge (Judkins and Wynne, 1972), strontium sulfate (Campell and Nancollas, 1969), and di-calcium phosphate dihydrate (Marshall and Nancollas, 1969). Several excellent texts on crystallization are also avalable (Jancic and Grootscholten, 1984; Brice, 1973; Garside and Mullin, 1978) .

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION

1. Batch Activated Sludge Experiment

Batch activated sludge experiments were conducted to examine the effects of pH and phosphorus concentrations on the rates of degradation of thiosulfate.

Four bactch reactors, each with an effective volume of 2.0 liters, were used in this phase of study. The initial bacterial seed was obtained from two separate sources. The bacterial seed of thiobacillus was from a dye manufacturing company which operates an in-house activated sludge treatment plant for thiosulfate waste. The heterotrophic population was from a municipal wastewater treatment plant. These two bacterial sources were mixed and acclimated to a synthetic feed whose composition is shown in Table 4. Note, the synthetic feed was made of an organic feed and sodium thiosulfate. The organic feed was considered representative o f the composition of domestic sewage and sodium thiosulfate in the form of crystal salt was used.

During the acclimation period, three reactors were fed with the synthetic feed at a daily thiosulfate loaing of 1.0 grams of thiosulfate per reactor volume (1 g/d-1). The fourth reactor was used as a control and was fed with the organic feed only. Air was supplied to each reactor at approximately 2.0 liters per minute. After 23 hours of aeration, the air supply was discontinued and the sludge was allowed to settle for one hour. One liter of the supernatant was withdrawn from each reactor and replaced by an equivalent volume of the feed solution. Aeration was resumed after the replacement by fresh feed. Phosphorus levels were adjusted by the addition of an appropriate amount of a 1 mg/ml stock solution of potassium phosphate. Initial pH for each reactor was maintained at 7 to 7.8 using sodium bicarbonate.

2. Continuous Activated Sludge Experiment

An extended aeration activated sludge process was employed for thiosulfate treatment. The performance of the treatment process was examined at elevated thiosulfate loadings. The feed consisted of: (a) an organic feed, see Table 4, which provides organic carbon and nutrients for the heterogenous population and, (b) a thiosulfate stream which provides inorganic sulfur source for the thiobacillus. Initially, the thiosulfate stream was prepared using pure thiosulfate salt dissolved in distilled water. This stage of experiment lasted for 140 days. Subsequently, thiosulfate waste stream obtained from a local industry was employed; this second stage of experiment lasted for 250 days.

The activated sludge reactors consisted of the aeration and settling chambers contained in a single unit, see Figure 6. The effective volumes of the aeration and settling chambers were 3.5 and 0.6 liters, respectively. The bacterial seed was obtained from previous batch experiments. Since biodegradation of thiosulfate is an acid producing process, an automatic pH controller was employed to activate the addition o f hydrochloric acid (50% v/v) or alkaline buffers for maintaining a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Sodium carbonate (70 g/1) and sodium hydroxide (1 N) were used as the alkaline buffers for stage I. and stage 2 experiments, respectively.

3. Crystal1 ization

Thiosulfate stream was initially treated with activated carbon for trace organics removal. The purified stream of 100 to 200 ml was kept in a constant water bath of 70 C for half hour. A pre-determined amount of thiosulfate salt, recovered from the preceding experiment, was added to create a super-saturated solution. The solution was allowed to cool down by submerging in a tap water bath at 18 to 22 C. The crystallized salt was recovered and subject to air dry.

ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

Chemical oxygen demand (COD), mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS), and sludge volume index (SVI) were analyzed in accordance with methods given in Standard Methods ( A P H A et al., 1985).

Thiosulfate was determined. by titrating with an acidified iodine solution in the presence of a starch indicator and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde was used to tie up any sulfite present.

It is interested to note that the replacement o f the carbonate buffer by sodium hydroxide had resulted in a lower MLSS level at the same thiosulfate loading, i.e. 2900 mg/l of MLSS with NaOH versus 5500 mg/l of MLSS with carbonate at a thiosulfate loading of 5 gll-d. The use of lime is an alternative but the production of gypsum from lime neutralization can be a considerable problem in sludge management.

By extending the detention time from 24 hours to 48 hours, the biological treatment process was able to perform satisfactory at thiosulfate loadings as high as 7.5 g/1-d. The conversion of thiosulfate to sulfate was 95% or higher.

4. Crystallization

Preliminary crystallization experiments were conducted using pure thiosulfate. Thiosulfate solutions of 55.15% (w/w), initially at 50 C, were brought to cooling (a) by submerging the reaction vessel into a water bath with temperature control at 1 O C drop per hour, (b) by submerging the reaction vessel into a tap water bath having a constant supply of fresh tap water, and (c) under ambient air temperature. The recorded temperature of the crystallizing thiosulfate solutions is given in Table 8.

* Commencement of crystallization accompanied by an increase of temperature

The supernatant of the crystallizing solution contained very fine crystals; it was not able to withdraw the aqueous portion of the supernatant for thiosulfate analysis. When crystallization commenced, an increase in temperature was observed due to the 1 iberation of the heat o f crystal1 ization. A total solidification was observed for the thiosulfate solution subject to a quick cooling, i.e. cooling at 1 0 C/hr and by direct contact with tap water. The appearance of the thiosulfate slurry is presented in Figure 12. The solidified slurry contained some entrapped moisture. However, the slurry was easily removed from the reaction vessel and spreaded on an aluminum foil for further drying.

Since there was a total solidification, an innovative idea was sought to develop a crystallization process in which a complete solidification could be achieved, resulting in "zero discharge" of the thiosulfate waste stream. The idea was based on a mass seeding concept to create a supersaturated solution for crystallization.

The laboratory procedure for total crystallization of the thiosulfate waste stream was developed and described as follows (see Figure 13) :

(a) Thiosulfate waste stream first passes through an activated carbon column for the removal of color and trace organics. Laboratory carbon column employed is shown in Figure 14.

(b) 100 ml of the pre-purified thiosulfate solution is heated to 70 C for 30 minutes.

(c) An appropriate amount of air dried thiosulfate salt recovered from preceding experiments is added to the thiosulfate solution to make up a concentration of 60% (w/w).

(d) The reaction vessel (glass beaker) is submerged into a tap water bath in which a fresh supply of tap water is maintained for cooling at 1 8 to 22 C. A gentle mixing is provided.

(e) Temperature of the crystallizing solution is measured to indicate the rate of crystallization.

(f) The crystallized thiosulfate slurry is spreaded on an aluminum foil for air drying.

(9) A portion of the recovered thiosulfate salt, after air dried, is employed as seedings for subsequent experiments.

A total of 5 consecutive crystallization experiments was conducted. The thiosulfate waste stream was obtained from a local industry, After activated carbon pre-treatment, almost over 95% of the apparent color was removed. The adsorption iostherm data is presented in Table 9.

from the table that crystallization normally commenced in 5 to 1 5 minutes when the solution temperature was brought to 29 to 3 5 C. The entire crystallization process was complete in less than 2 hours. Figure 1 5 is a pictorial presentation of the recovered thiosulfate salt. The purity of the recovered thiosulfate salt from each consecutive experiment was analyzed for its COD, chloride, sulfate and thiosulfate contents, and the degree o f hydration, see Table 11. The following summarizes the experimental findings.

(a) Under the experimental conditions employed, crystallization commenced in 5 to 1 5 minutes when the super-saturated solution was cooled to 2 9 to 35 C. Variations in the commencement time of crystallization were attributed to the changes of tap water temperature and the degree of agitation provided.

(b) The resulting thiosulfate slurry contained some entrapped moisture which could be air dried in a few days.

( c ) There was no degradation of the quality of the thiosulfate salt recovered from each consecutive experiment.

(d) The entire crystallization process was complete in less than 2 hours.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A combined waste stream obtained by incorporating thiosulfate into an organic feed was treated by a mixed population of heterotrophs and thiobacillus. The organic feed, e.g. a domestic sewage, would provide the necessary carbon and nutrient sources for the heterotrophs; while the thiosulfate stream would provide the sulfur compounds for thiobacillus.

The result of batch biodegradation experiments indicates that the mixed population of heterotrophs and thiobacillus was able to achieve a complete conversion of thiosulfate to sulfate in a much shorter period of time than that reported in the literature.

The complete-mixed, extended aeration activated sludge process employed was effective in removing the organics as well as thiosulfate. The settleability of the activated sludge was satisfactory with SVl's never exceeding 200. At hydraulic detention times of 24 and 48 hours, the process was operative at thiosulfate loadings as high as 5.0 and 7.5 g/l-d, respectively. Process failure occurred at higher thiosulfate loadings was due to foam formation and loss of solids from the reactors. The use of sodium hydroxide, instead of sodium carbonate, as an alkaline buffer yielded a lower MLSS. This was due to the additional carbon dioxide source generated by the carbonate buffer, which promoted the growth of thiobacillus.

For practical operation of a full-scale activated sludge process for treating thiosulfate waste, it is important that proper control of pH at 6 to 7.5 is required. The use o f lime for neutralization is an alternattive, but the production o f gypsum can be a considerable problem in sludge management.

The total crystal1 ization or solidification process developed in this research has resulted in a "zero discharge" of the thiosulfate waste stream. The process provides some economic benefits as a result of the reduction in waste treatment cost and the re-sale value of the recovered thiosulfate salt. Further pilot scale operation is recommended prior to a full-scale process development. It is also felt that the process can be applied to other types of inorganic salts.
