Continuous treating process by iron-carbon micro-electrolytic technology treating actual dyeing wastewater was studied, performance of the micro-electrolysis reactor (MER) assembled homemade iron-carbon micro-electrolysis materials (MEM) and the process of alkaline addition, the properties of iron mud (flocculation precipitation produced from alkaline addition) were also investigated. The results shows that:(1) COD removal rate of MER was stable at around 60%, and the chroma could reached less than 40 times at stable stage of 60 days operation; (2) According to 30 days of continuous operation test, 7.6 kg of iron mud was produced when one ton wastewater was treated in this system; it was also found that iron mud can be recycled as raw materials for the synthesis of MEM by EDS analysis; (3)Effluent reflux (reflux ratio 1~1.5) could effectively reduce the dosage of alkali in practical process.
By use of iron-carbon micro-electrolysis-UASB-SBR continuous process, treatment of an actual alkali dyeing wastewater (pH 11.50~13.50) taken from a certain factory in Xian-Yang was studied. The results indicated that: (1) When the influent COD is 1000~1600 mg·L-1, chroma 250 times, firstly effluent COD reduced to 400~800 mg·L-1and chroma 40 times by iron-carbon micro-electrolysis process, secondly effluent COD dropped to 250~500 mg·L-1by UASB process, finally effluent COD dropped to 70~98 mg·L-1by a SBR with loading PVA micro-gel beads, which meet the direct emission limits of water pollutants for dyeing and finishing of textile industry (GB 4287-2012); (2) Effective combination process of iron-carbon micro-electrolysis with UASB-SBR can be obtained through HRT optimization of micro-electrolysis reaction (HRT=10), that not only meet the requirement influent pH of anaerobic reactor, but also greatly reduce the cost of alkaline in practical application of iron carbon micro-electrolysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
