Abstract
The invention relates to the development of a carrier material providing high surface area for biofilm formation in wastewater treatment plants and a carrier material surface modification method for accelerating and enriching biofilm formation.
Claims6
A surface modification method of a carrier element developed for use of microorganisms growing on biofilm, for wastewater treatment and pollutant removal, characterized by comprising the following steps of:
- Washing a carrier element to free it from contaminants,
- Liquefaction of a paraffin wax containing trace elements,
- Immersion of the carrier element into the paraffin wax bath for 3-5 seconds,
- Allowing the excess paraffin remaining on the carrier element surface to flow away and harden for 3-5 seconds,
- Allowing the material to dry at room temperature for 5-10 seconds.
