Experimental Advancements of Wastewater Disposal in Coal Chemical Industry by Yeasts
The research in this paper focuses on improving the COD removal rate of the coking wastewater and the NH3-N removal rate and thus diversifying measures to dispose microbial floras in wastewater from the coal chemical industry. The means of adding nutrients, acid treatment and coagulation sedimentation react synergistically to dispose the organic contaminants in the coking wastewater. We attempted to combine Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Torula yeast, tropical Candida mycoderma, etc. to exploit the respective advantages to the full and improve the disposal effect. According to the COD sample (27000-30000) and NH3-N (2500-3000) offered by the client company, the COD removal rate ranged from 24.2% to 31.8% in the mixed experiment group of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Torula yeast, with NH3-N removal rate from 63.5% to 69.6%. Obviously, the NH3-N removal rate produced good effect. Meanwhile, the COD removal rate ranged form 35.3% to 41.8% in the experiment group only adjusting PH value and the NH3-N removal rate ranged from 40.2% to 50.2%. It is obvious that NH3-N removal rate is influenced by the amount of bacterial strain.
