The Environmental Hazards and Treatment of Ship's Domestic Sewage

With the rapid development of the modern shipping field, the damage caused by ship pollution to the global inland waterways and marine ecosystems has attracted extensive attention from the international community. However, there are fewer reviews on the environmental hazards of domestic ship sewage and its treatment, and a systematic summary of the environmental hazards posed by ship domestic sewage and its treatment is lacking. Based on summarizing the various environmental hazards brought about by a ship's domestic sewage and the corresponding treatment methods, this study elaborates, in detail, on the specific hazards of the main toxic and hazardous substances contained in a ship's domestic sewage on the environment and organisms, and the treatment methods of the ship's domestic sewage and their treatment effects, such as membrane bioreactor (MBR). It is also pointed out that MBR has great potential in the direction of ship domestic sewage treatment, and the solution of its membrane pollution and other problems as well as the exploration of the combination of MBR and other treatment methods will become the focus of future research. A theoretical reference is provided for the study of environmental problems caused by domestic sewage from ships and their treatment options.
