Abstract

The object is to provide a wastewater treatment method and a wastewater treatment system that reduce the total selenium concentration of treated water while reducing cost compared to conventional methods of removing selenium by oxidation. In the wastewater treatment method according to the present disclosure, an iron agent is added to waste water containing selenium and cyanogen to form a first coagulated substance, the first coagulated substance is removed by solid-liquid separation to obtain first treated water, a second iron agent is added to the first treated water, an acid is added to the first treated water to obtain acidic water, an oxidizing agent is added to the acidic water to oxidize the selenium, a coagulant is then added to form a second coagulated substance, and the second coagulated substance is removed by solid-liquid separation to obtain second treated water.

Claims (8)

1 . A wastewater treatment method comprising:

adding a first iron agent to waste water containing selenium and cyanogen to form a first coagulated substance and removing the first coagulated substance by solid-liquid separation to obtain first treated water; and

adding a second iron agent to the first treated water, adding an acid to the first treated water to obtain acidic water, adding an oxidizing agent to the acidic water to oxidize the selenium, then adding a coagulant to form a second coagulated substance, and removing the second coagulated substance by solid-liquid separation to obtain second treated water.

2 . A wastewater treatment system comprising:

a first treatment section; and

a second treatment section,

wherein the first treatment section includes a first reaction coagulation tank that stores waste water containing selenium and cyanogen, a first solid-liquid separator into which waste water from the first reaction coagulation tank flows, and a first iron agent addition unit that adds an iron agent to the first reaction coagulation tank, and

wherein the second treatment section includes an oxidation tank into which first treated water separated by the first solid-liquid separator flows, a second reaction coagulation tank into which water passing through the oxidation tank flows, a second solid-liquid separator into which waste water from the second reaction coagulation tank flows, an acid addition unit that adds an acid to the oxidation tank, an oxidizing agent addition unit that adds an oxidizing agent to the oxidation tank, a second iron agent addition unit that adds an iron agent to the oxidation tank, and a coagulant addition unit that adds a coagulant to the second reaction coagulation tank.
