Wastewater removal

Chemical precipitation can remove 95 percent of the suspended solids, up to 50 percent of the soluble organics and the bulk of the heavy metals in a wastewater. Removal of soluble organics is a function of the coagulant chemical, with iron salts yielding best results and lime the poorest. Metal removal is primarily a function of pH and the ionic state of the metal. Guidance is available from solubihty product data.

Membrane processes are widely used in oil water separation. In general, a membrane is classified into two groups pressure-driven membrane and electrical membrane, known as electrodialysis. The most applicable process for oily wastewater removal is the former type. The pressure-driven membrane applications include microfiltration (MF), ultrafil-tration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO). All of them are categorized by the molecular weight or particle size cut-off of the membrane as shown in Table 5. 

Nitrification, followed by denitrification, is an important process in the removal of nitrogen from wastewaters. Removal of the nitrogenous constituents helps to minimize the toxicity of the water and to reduce its oxygen demand. The removal of nitrogenous material commences when the sewage is formed and almost all the urea is decomposed to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The toxic ammonia in a waste is first nitrified to nitrite and nitrate by aerobic biological processes and then denitrified anaerobically to molecular nitrogen.

Sedimentation vessels are typically either rectangular or circular in shape, and provide for feed of the wastewater, removal of a solids concentrate, and removal of a clarified effluent. It is also common to recycle a proportion of the solids concentrate back into the feed side of the vessel in order to help seed precipitation reactions and aid in the settling. A rectangular vessel allows for efficient use of space and facilitates an efficient inlet design that provides for even spreading of the influent. A circular vessel makes for less efficient use of space and a more complicated inlet design, but is typically designed with a conical bottom and scraper that facilitates removal of the solids concentrate from the bottom. The wastewater in a circular sedimentation basin is introduced into a center well and removed via a weir system at the periphery, such that the particle trajectory is radially outward. 

All presented applications of enzymes in the pulp and paper industry also have a significant effect on wastewater removed from production facilities. The application of enzymes that are natural compounds improves biodegradability of wastewater [43].
