Determination of Some Vitamins in Different Matrixes in a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant

Abstract

This paper presents various vitamin levels determined by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in the influent and effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plant and its some sludge fractions. A, E and C vitamin levels in the influent were found to be 0.11, 0.84 and 5.16 mg/l, respectively. The levels of A vitamin of the microorganisms in the aeration tank and the effluent were determined to be 0.39 mg/kg and 0.17 mg/l, respectively. E vitamin levels in the aeration tank and effluent were also determined to be 6.61 mg/kg and 1.32 mg/l, respectively. C vitamin levels in aeration tank and effluent were 15.7 mg/kg and 7.35 mg/l, respectively. A, E and C vitamin levels of the sludge cake in the dried beds were found to be 0.44 mg/kg, 20.95 mg/kg and 11.39 mg/kg, respectively. A, E and C vitamin levels in the sludge cake disposed for a long time were also assigned to be 0.09, 4.76 and 1.93 mg/kg
