Study on Treatment of Printing and Dyeing Wastewater by Magnetic Seed Coagulation--High Gradient Magnetic Separation

Treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater by the device of high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) developed by author was tested. The results showed that printing and dyeing wastewater contained varied chemical composition and whose initial concentration of chromaticity and COD were 800 and 565mg/L respectively can be well cleaned by Fenton oxidation-magnetic seed coagulation- HGMS. The removal rate of chromaticity and COD was up to 92.6% and 79.5% respectively. The effluent can meet the national drainage criterion. The optimum technological parameters are as follows: pH=6, [FeSO
