Chemical waste water treatment method
| Details |
Inventors: Horvath, Peter J.;
Assignee: Carvalho; Rocky (Salem, OR)

A method of treating domestic, commercial or industrial waste water which includes the steps of mixing the waste water with a coagulant aid so as to bring the pH of the mixture to within a range of about 9.0-10.5, and thereafter adding precipitating agents in at least two successive steps so as to lower the pH of the mixture by about one unit for each step and thereby precipitate solids therefrom until the mixture is approximately neutral. After the addition of each precipitating agent, the precipitated solids are separated from the waste water effluent before the next succeeding precipitating agent is added. Preferably two such successive precipitation steps are performed, after which the resultant waste water effluent is treated with an oxidizing and disinfecting agent, filtered, and then treated with a further oxidizing and disinfecting agent to minimize the B.O.D. level. In the course of the process, a portion of the solids separated from the waste water effluent in the respective steps is preferably recycled into the treatment system by mixing it with new incoming waste water to partially take the place of the original coagulant aid. The preferred coagulant aid utilized is portland cement, with aluminum sulfate and copper sulfate preferably being used in sequence as the precipitating agents and potassium permanganate and ozone being used in sequence as the oxidizing and disinfecting agents. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method of treating waste water, having a pH below 9.
0 and containing nitrifying bacteria and in excess of 200 mg/l total solids, selected from the group consisting essentially of municipal sewage and industrial, commercial and agricultural process waters containing organic wastes and mixtures thereof, said method comprising the following sequential steps: a.
mixing an amount of said waste water with an amount of an alkaline coagulant aid effective to obtain a mixture having a pH of at least about 9 but less than 11 and thereby killing said nitrifying bacteria by means of said rise in pH level; said coagulant aid being selected from the group consisting essentially of portland cement, lime, sodium silicate and mixtures thereof; b.
adding to said mixture an acidifying precipitating agent, selected from the group consisting essentially of salts of aluminum, salts of ferric iron, copper sulfate, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, and mixtures thereof, in an amount effective to lower the pH of the mixture by about 1 pH unit and thereby causing suspended solids contained in the mixture to be collected into aggregates; c.
separating said aggregated solids from said mixture; d.
adding to the resultant mixture, remaining after the separation of said aggregated solids, an acidifying precipitating agent selected from said group of precipitating agents in an amount effecting to further lower the pH of the mixture by about 1 pH unit to a pH no lower than about 6 and no higher than about 8.
5, and thereby causing suspended solids contained in the mixture to be collected into further aggregates; e.
separating said further aggregated solids from the mixture; f.
adding to the resultant mixture, remaining after said multiple separations of aggregated solids, an amount of an oxidizing and disinfecting agent effective to oxidize at least a portion of the remaining solids in the mixture and convert them to a filterable state; g.
filtering the mixture so as to separate said oxidized solids from the mixture; and h
