The application of this process to the treatment of wastewaters requires looking for the lowest cost and developing a sustainable process (low energy consumption and use of regenerable sorbents). For this purpose, our study contained three main chapters.: • Research of an alternate material to the Powdered Activated Carbon PAC which is effective but non regenerable ; a comparative study of the kinetics and isotherms of adsorption of different materials was then performed. and resulted in the identification of an ion exchange resin. • Study of the hybrid process at lab scale and pilot scale using PAC and the Ion Exchange Resin. • Improvement of a protocol for the determination of the fouling potential of the treated water so as to get a quantitative information concerning its ability to be further treated by either nanofiltration or reverse osmosis for multi usage reuse.
