Application of Ozonation to Dyeing Wastewater TreatmentCase Study in Nishiwaki Treatment Plant

摘要

abstract_textpThree treatment methods, raw wastewater (RW) coagulation biological treatment (RCB), RW pre-ozonation biological treatment (ROB) and RW biological treatment post-ozonation (RBO), were investigated to clarify their effectiveness in treating dyeing wastewater from a treatment plant. The decrease in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was in the following order: RCB RBO ROB. DOC removal of 200 mg/L by biological treatment of RW was clearly higher than that of 12 mg/L by ozonation. On the other hand, only DOC removal of 108 mg/L was observed by biological treatment in RW after ozonation. The decrease in biological oxygen demand (BOD5) was in the following order: ROB RCB RBO. Because of the enhancement of biodegradability brought about by ozonation, BOD5 after ozonation in RBO was higher than that of RW after biological treatment. Color was effectively removed by ozonation for both RW and RW after biological treatment, and the decrease in color was in the following order: RBO ROB RCB. Adsorbable organic halide formation potential (AOXFP) and toxicity unit (TU15, exposure time is 15 min) were more effectively decreased by biological treatment than by coagulation or ozonation, although the differences among RCB, ROB and RBO were very small./p/abstract_text
