  • Patent number: 12202752
    Abstract: A method is provided for processing wastewater having organics even together with high-concentration ammonia-nitrogen, using an apparatus, comprising a catalyzation tank and a subsequent neutralization tank. Organic ammonia-nitrogen wastewater is introduced into tank for reaction without being pre-adjusted by acidic agent or mixing with other additives. A persulfate oxidant is used to process high-efficiency oxidative degradation for ammonia-nitrogen and toxic organics in wastewater through catalyzing oxidation of ultraviolet activation, tiny-amount-transition-metal catalyzation, or both of them, for simultaneous reductions or complete removals of ammonia-nitrogen and organic carbon contents. After neutralization according to actual needs, the final output is complied with biological treatment conditions, discharged-water quality standards, or recycled-water standards.

  • Publication number: 20230406744
    Abstract: A method for treating a waste liquid comprises: step (A), adding a precursory oxidant to a waste liquid having a temperature of 25-70° C.; wherein, the precursory oxidant is hydrogen peroxide or sodium percarbonate, and in mg/L, a ratio of the precursory oxidant/the total amount of sulfide is 2.20 to 6.37; step (B), mixing an advanced oxidant and the waste liquid after step (A); wherein, the advanced oxidant is sodium persulfate or potassium persulfate, and in mg/L, a ratio of the advanced oxidant/COD after step (A) is 7.63 to 33.27; step (C), using UV illumination method to illuminate the oxidant dissolved in the waste liquid after step (B), and aerated with oxygen-containing gas. By the above-described method, it can achieve the purpose of sulfide conversion and degradation and removal of organic pollution composition under the condition free of the generation of H2S.
