Aerobic Treatment of Poplar APMP Pulping Wastewater by Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR)

摘要

In this paper, the poplar Alkaline Peroxide Mechanical Pulp (APMP) pulping wastewater was treated by the SBR. The pulping wastewater was from the processes of washing, soaking and defibrination. The COD of the pulping wastewater was 5671 mg/L and the BOD was 1862 mg/L. The B/C (biological oxygen demand/chemical oxygen demand) ratio of the pulping wastewater was 0.32, which indicated that the wastewater was suitable to be treated by biological methods. SBR technology was used to treat the pulping wastewater. After a series of experiments, the best conditions for the pulping wastewater was achieved as follows: time 6hrs, original pH about 8. Under these conditions the removal ratio of COD can reach 81.4% and that of BOD can reach 91.5%; but the removal ratio of the TSS and the Chromaticity were low, the removal ratio of TSS only reach 31.8%.
