WATER TREATMENT PROCESS

摘要

The present invention provides a process for treating water which comprises chloride ion, oxidizable ion, suspended solids, and ion reducing bacteria, said process comprising oxidizing an oxidizable ion to produce an oxidized ion, wherein the oxidizable ion comprises ferrous ion, sulfide ion, sulfite ion, or a mixture thereof, reducing the amount of ion reducing bacteria to produce a substantially ion reducing bacteria free water, wherein the ion reducing bacteria comprises iron reducing bacteria, sulfur reducing bacteria, or a mixture thereof, subjecting the substantially ion reducing bacteria free water to conditions sufficient to precipitate suspended solids, and separating at least a substantial portion of the precipitated suspended solids from the substantially ion reducing bacteria free water to produce a treated water.
