[Study on pretreatment of saponin wastewater by water hyacinthy].
The pretreatment of the saponin wastewater by water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipe) was studied. With contrast experiments, the results indicate that after 8 h adsorption by the dry air cells of water hyacinth, the concentration of chlorine ion in the saponin wastewater reduce 10%, chroma reduce 97.2%, pH change from 1.09 to 1.26, COD removal efficiency is 20%. The results indicate that the pretreatment process can improve biodegradability of the saponin wastewater, the biogas rate is 1.5 multiple than before , resulting in the benefit to the follow-up biological treatment. After the adsorption, water hyacinth biogas fermenting also improvement which is used for improve the effect of fermentative.
