Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for purification treatment of wastewater according to the present invention is a process for conducting a purification treatment of wastewater containing polyvinyl alcohol by using a membrane bioreactor process, the process including adding a nutrient to a treatment system. The nutrient is preferably added to an aeration tank. The nutrient preferably contains nitrogen. An amount of the nutrient initially added is preferably 5% or more and 25% or less in terms of nitrogen. The process for purification treatment of wastewater preferably includes a step of measuring a nitrogen content after a treatment, and an amount of the nutrient added is preferably adjusted on the basis of the result of this measurement while checking the effect on the basis of a chemical oxygen demand. The nutrient may be added to the aeration tank by a mechanism that adds the nutrient to the treatment system or by feeding the nutrient manually to the treatment system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A process for purification treatment of wastewater for conducting a purification treatment of wastewater containing polyvinyl alcohol by using a membrane bioreactor process (MBR process), the process comprising adding a nutrient to a treatment system. 2 . The process for purification treatment of wastewater according to claim 1 , comprising a microorganism treatment step of aerating the wastewater, wherein the nutrient is added in the microorganism treatment step. 3 . The process for purification treatment of wastewater according to claim 1 , wherein the nutrient contains nitrogen. 4 . The process for purification treatment of wastewater according to claim 1 , comprising a step of measuring a nitrogen content after a treatment, wherein an amount of the nutrient added is adjusted on the basis of the nitrogen content determined in the measurement step. 5 . The process for purification treatment of wastewater according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the nutrient initially added is 5% or more and 25% or less in terms of nitrogen relative to a chemical oxygen demand of the wastewater. 6 . An apparatus for purification treatment of wastewater for conducting a purification treatment of wastewater containing polyvinyl alcohol by using a membrane bioreactor process, the apparatus comprising a mechanism that adds a nutrient to a treatment system. 7 . The apparatus for purification treatment of wastewater according to claim 6 , comprising an aeration tank that treats the wastewater with a microorganism, wherein the mechanism that adds the nutrient is attached to the aeration tank. 8 . The apparatus for purification treatment of wastewater according to claim 6 , wherein the nutrient contains nitrogen. 9 . The apparatus for purification treatment of wastewater according to claim 6 , further comprising a measurement unit that measures a chemical oxygen demand and a nitrogen content after a treatment, wherein an amount of the nutrient added is adjusted on the basis of the nitrogen content determined by the measurement unit. 10 . The apparatus for purification treatment of wastewater according to claim 6 , wherein an amount of the nutrient initially added is 5% or more and 25% or less in terms of nitrogen relative to the chemical oxygen demand.
