Abstract

Chinese traditional medicine wastewater, which was affluent in glycosides, was treated by a process combined a simple hydrolyzation and acidification pretreatment with a aerobic submerged membrane bio-reactor (SMBR), which was designed specially, equipped with electro-control and backwashing device. The average chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration in influent was 1090.1 mg/L. The backwashing time was 5 minutes, and the average hydraulic retention time (HRT) was 5.97 hours. The average COD removal efficiency was 89.4%, and the COD concentration in effluent achieved the second level of the general wastewater effluent standard GB8978-1996 for the raw medicine material industry. It was a viable process for medium strength Chinese traditional medicine wastewater treatment.
