Experimental Research on Recycling Treatment Process of Citrate Wastewater

Researching on the feasibility of citrate wastewater recycling treatment, the combined treatment methods of coagulation and filtration were adopted in the recycling treatment process of citrate wastewater from secondary biological treatment effluents. Meanwhile the ferric salt and water treatment processor were used as the coagulant and filtration equipment respectively. The experiments of coagulant addition, hydraulic retention time, the volume ratio of compounded filtering materials, aeration intensity were taken respectively. The final experimental results demonstrated that at the ferric salt addition of 36 mg/L, hydraulic retention time of 40 min, the volume ratio of biological fibred ball/biological carbon and the ratio of water/gas were 1:2 and 1:6 respectively, 81.3% of COD was removed, from 179.2mg/L down to 33.6 mg/L and 96.7% of SS was removed, from 152.7mg/L down to below 5mg/L. The effluent of the citrate wastewater recycling treatment process with coagulation + water treatment processor could meet the National standard of Recycling and Miscellaneous usages of Municipal Sewage on COD and SS requirements.
