Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A water treatment method according to the present invention is a water treatment method in which oil is membrane-separated from water to be treated containing the oil and ferrous ions, the water treatment method including an oxidation step of oxidizing the ferrous ions in the water to be treated, and a filtration step of membrane-filtering the water to be treated after the oxidation step. In the oxidation step, a pH of the water to be treated is adjusted to 6 to 9, and an oxidation-reduction potential of the water to be treated is adjusted to 450 to 750 mV.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 : A water treatment method in which oil is membrane-separated from water to be treated containing the oil and ferrous ions, the water treatment method comprising: an oxidation step of oxidizing the ferrous ions in the water to be treated; and a filtration step of membrane-filtering the water to be treated after the oxidation step, wherein, in the oxidation step, a pH of the water to be treated is adjusted to 6 to 9, and an oxidation-reduction potential of the water to be treated is adjusted to 450 to 750 mV. 2 : The water treatment method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the oxidation step, ozone, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, or hypochlorous acid is brought into contact with the water to be treated. 3 : The water treatment method according to claim 1 , further comprising an aeration step of aerating the water to be treated after the oxidation step. 4 : The water treatment method according to claim 3 , wherein the aeration is performed by using air or nitrogen gas. 5 : The water treatment method according to claim 3 , wherein, in the aeration step, the pH of the water to be treated is adjusted to 6 to 9, and the oxidation-reduction potential of the water to be treated is adjusted to 0 to 300 mV. 6 : A water treatment system in which oil is membrane-separated from water to be treated containing the oil and ferrous ions, the system comprising: oxidation equipment configured to oxidize the ferrous ions in the water to be treated; and a filtration apparatus configured to membrane-filter the water to be treated which has been oxidized, wherein the oxidation equipment has a mechanism to adjust a pH of the water to be treated to 6 to 9 and an oxidation-reduction potential of the water to be treated to 450 to 750 mV.
