METHOD OF PURIFYING WASTE WATER

摘要

The purification process is carried out in two stages. In the first stage, pulverulent active carbon in finely-divided form is added to the waste water. The solids materials are then separated by conventional mechanical separating processes. The liquid phase prepurified in this manner is then allowed to trickle in a second stage through an active carbon adsorption tower, air being forced at the same time through the adsorption tower. The process has proved particularly valuable in the purification of pesticide-containing waste water.
