Study on Environmental Materials with Treatment of Sweet Potato Starch Wastewater by Hydrolysis Acidification Sedimentation Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study aimed at the application conditions of environmental materials in sweet potato starch wastewater by hydrolysis acidification process. The removal rates of COD and soluble protein were investigated to find suitable natural setting time, the quantity of acidic steeping liquor and pH. The results showed that traditional fermentation not only consumes time but also scarcely removal efficiency in short time. 40% acidic steeping liquor was added as an optimum dosage for effective treatment. In addition, the effort of pH (3.0-9.0) on the hydrolysis acidification of wastewater was investigated. The removal rates of COD and soluble protein reached 26.9% and 76.3% respectively at pH4.0. Therefore, pH was adjusted to isoelectric point that can effectively reduce the burden of subsequent wastewater treatment.
