Claim 0:
1. A system for treatment and disinfection of at least organic pollutants in water effluent comprising:
an aqueous suspension by mixing the effluent with a hydrophobic carbon-based sorbent in powder form capable of absorbing the organic pollutants;
a carbon-based sorbent that absorbs at least some of the organic pollutants to form a pollutant-laden carbon-based sorbent;
a filter that separates solid particles, including the pollutant-laden carbon-based sorbent, from water in the effluent by filtering the aqueous suspension through a volume of rubber-based hydrophobic sorbent to, thereby, produce treated water that is substantially free of organic pollutants,
wherein the filter is arranged to absorb at least some of the organic pollutants on the rubber-based sorbent to form pollutant-laden rubber-based sorbent;
means for pyrolytically decomposing, free of oxygen, the pollutant-laden carbon-based sorbent and the pollutant-laden rubber based sorbent to synthesis gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen;
means for performing froth flotation to generate a foam, including adding hydrogen peroxide to the treated water in presence of a metal catalyst so as to allow absorbing of organic pollutants;
non-sacrificial carbon or metal electrodes, and sacrificial metal electrodes that perform electrocoagulation on the treated water;
means for performing water disinfection by electrocavitation, which is formed by high-voltage discharges in a medium of iron and copper particles, or alloys based upon iron and copper particles, with disintegrating titanium electrodes;
means for performing further oxidation of organic matter in the treated water based on organic matter oxidation, decomposition of the organic matter being performed thereby in a continuous manner in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and iron, titanium, copper, sodium, or other metal atoms with calcium oxide (CaO) and activated carbon in a high pressure reactor; and
means for filtering water on a precoat filter under pressure to remove solid and colloidal particles of more than 5 microns from water, wherein a substrate of the filter comprises kieselguhr and the filter includes a precoat membrane having at least one of aluminum, titanium, copper, and sodium,
wherein ions are removed from the treated water by an electrodialysis step, and
wherein the treated water is filtered through an activated carbon filter.
