Abstract

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) contains high amount of organic contents and residual oil associated with many environmental concerns related due to discharge of untreated POME. POME is a highly polluting effluent that demands appropriate handling before it can be disposed to the water bodies. POME treatment is a significant concern in palm oil mills and the treatment technique has fascinated several researchers related with environmental pollution. Numerous conventional treatment approaches are unsuccessful to accomplish the standard needed to reduce the pollutants in the POME to allowable levels. Several advanced treatment technologies have developed with high productivity to lessen the contaminants levels. However, the incorporation of conventional treatment with advanced technologies is a feasible tactic for POME treatment. Therefore, in the current review, systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to organize the scattered available information and provides insight on the various treatment methods of POME. From the SLR, it is evident that advanced oxidation process, membrane bioreactors, and adsorption is a feasible way, hence, resolving the environmental issues of waste disposal and pollution arising from the palm oil industry.

摘要

棕榈油厂废水 (POME) 中含有大量有机成分和残油，这与排放未经处理的 POME 相关的许多环境问题有关。POME 是一种高污染的废水，需要进行适当的处​​理才能排放到水体中。POME 处理是棕榈油厂的一个重要问题，处理技术吸引了一些与环境污染相关的研究人员。许多传统的处理方法都无法达到将 POME 中的污染物减少到允许水平所需的标准。几种先进的处理技术已经以高生产率开发，以降低污染物水平。然而，将常规治疗与先进技术相结合是 POME 治疗的可行策略。所以，在当前的综述中，进行了系统文献综述 (SLR) 来整理分散的可用信息，并提供对 POME 各种治疗方法的见解。从 SLR 中可以看出，高级氧化工艺、膜生物反应器和吸附是一种可行的方法，因此可以解决棕榈油工业产生的废物处理和污染的环境问题。
