摘要
The microbial treatment of wastewater containing a high concentration of chromium from cold rolling mills was carried out as a pilot study. The pilot-scale equipment, technological process and results are described in this paper. Two kinds of wastewater with a high concentration of chromium were tested ： one from a color coating line ; the other from a silicon steel line. The removal effect of Cr^6＋ , T-Cr and chemical oxygen demand （COD） in wastewater was studied. The results showed that this microbial treatment technology could be used to treat the above two kinds of chromium-containing wastewater. The average concentrations of Cr^6＋ in the color coating line effluent and the silicon steel line effluent were 0.02 mg/L and 0.04 mg/L respectively, and the average concentrations of T-Cr in the effluents were 0.71 mg/L and 0.74 mg/L respectively. Both were lower than the Sewage Discharge Standard （Cr^6＋ 〈 0.5 mg/L,T-Cr 〈 1.5 mg/L）. Furthermore, up to 60% of the COD was removed from chromate wastewater containing a high concentration COD （ 〉 3 g/L）. The removal rate of COD was lower than 25% for chromate wastewater containing a low concentration COD （ 〈 3 g/L）. Adding a flocculating agent was one of the effective ways of improving the COD removal rate from chromium-containing wastewater.
