title: Treatment of water-based printing ink wastewater by Fenton process combined with coagulation.
abstract: Attempts were made in this study to examine the efficiency of Fenton process combined with coagulation for treatment of water-based printing ink wastewater. Parameters affecting the Fenton process, such as pH, dosages of Fenton reagents and the settling time, were determined by using jar test experiments. 86.4% of color and 92.4% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) could be removed at pH 4, 50mg/l H(2)O(2), 25mg/l FeSO(4) and 30min settling time. The coagulation using polyaluminium chloride (PAC) and ferrous sulfate (FeSO(4)) was beneficial to improve the Fenton process treated effluent in reducing the flocs settling time, enhancing color and COD removal. The overall color, COD and suspended solids (SS) removal reached 100%, 93.4% and 87.2% under selected conditions, respectively. Thus this study might offer an effective way for wastewater treatment of water-based ink manufacturer and printing corporation.
