L'estudi tracta sobre una empresa fabricant de tints i pintures que tot i està conscienciada amb el medi ambient i utilitzar tècniques de prevenció en origen per disminuir l’emissió de COV a l’atmosfera (les seves emissions es troben dins dels rangs permesos per la legislació en aquest sector), els seus directius pretenen conèixer les alternatives possibles per valorar la possibilitat d'aplicar algun sistema de tractament dels Compostos Orgànics Volàtils a la sortida de la xemeneia, amb la finalitat de recuperar o reduir l’emissió d’aquests contaminants a l’atmosfera. Es presenta una avaluació econòmica i ambiental de diferents sistemes de tractament dels COV aplicables a l’empresa

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are one of the main groups of odour causing compounds in Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP). Adsorption technology is already established, in recent years the interest for the optimization of the costs associated with this technique has grown significantly. In particular, there are different options, from the use of low cost adsorbents, to reducing costs associated with carbon regeneration process. In this thesis, the adsorption of the three VOCs on sewage sludge based adsorbents was studied. It was proved that adsorbents obtained by chemical activation of sewage sludge with alkaline hydroxides are comparable to commercial activated carbons (ACs). Likewise, the adsorption of multicomponent gaseous streams was also studied. Related to the ACs regeneration, it was proposed a regeneration treatment of VOC saturated ACs with H2O2 based on advanced oxidation processes (AOP). The influence of the surface chemistry of ACs in this regeneration process was also studied.
