[ Metbod] According to the water-quality characteristics of wastewater from a heparin so- dium production factory of Jiangsu Province, enzymolysis wastewater was segregated from intestinal lavage wastewater and treated through cen- trifugation- coagulation- Fenton reagent oxidation-adsorption process, and the optimal technical parameters were determined. E Resultl After enzymolysis wastewater was centrifuged at a speed of 4 000 rpm, 0.6 g/L CTS as the coagulant was added to the supematant. Hereafter, pH of the coagulated effluent was adjusted to 3, and then 1.5% (V/V) H2O2 was added to the coagulated effluent; a certain amount of ferrous sul- fate (n H2O2-.n FeSO4 . 7H2O =8:1 ) was added to the mixture; the reaction conducted for 30 min, and then solution pH was adjusted to about 9. Finally, the oxidized effluent flowed through a resin red until the adsorptive capacity reached 240 BV, and COD of the effluent water was lower than 100 mg/L, meeting the Grade-I standard of Comprehensive Discharge Standard of Sewage (GB8978-1996).

It was found that lignin depolymeirzation was enhanced significantly by enzymolysis. The oxidative depolymerization contributed to 21.37% of YAM after the enzymolysis pretreatment,whereas the conventional oxidative depolymerization only gave 14.10% of YAM. The addition of ethanol in enzymatic pretreatment process improved the efficiency of enzymolysis, which effectively improved the solubility of pretreated lignin and depolymerization degree(DD) of lignin. The enzymolysis pretreatment increased the content of syringyl(S) style aromatic monomers, which hindered the recondensation among polymerized products. As lignin has low solubility in acidic aqueous solution, ethanol was added into enzymolysis system to improve the efficiency. However, the enzymolysis of lignin should be carried out for a limited period of time to prevent the inactivation of laccase.展开更多
