title: [Wastewater from the condensation and drying section of ABS was pretreated by microelectrolysis].
abstract: Wastewater from the condensation and drying section of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin plant was pretreated by the microelectrolysis, and the effect of the influent pH value on the pollution removal efficiency of the microelectrolysis was mainly studied. In order to study the electrochemical action of the microelectrolysis for the degradation of toxic refractory organic pollutants, two control experiments of activated carbon and iron were set up. The results showed that the TOC removal efficiencies were all fluctuated between 40% and 60% under the condition of different influent pH values. The microelectrolysis can decompose and transform the toxic refractory organic pollutants and increase the BOD5/COD ratio from 0.32 to 0.60, which increased the biodegradability of ABS resin wastewater significantly. When the pH value of influent was 4.0, the BOD5/COD ratio of effluent reached 0.71. The result of UV-vis spectra indicates that the removal efficiency of the organic nitrile was the highest with influent pH was 4.0. Therefore, the best influent pH value of microelectrolysis was 4.0.
