BCTMP effluent, after treated by anaerobic process and then followed by aerobic treatment, finally was forward treated with advanced oxidation. The results are showed: the effluent COD could be achieved less than 50mg/l, the removal is up to 85%. At the same time, suspend solid (SS) and chromaticity both could meet the demand of the New Discharge Standard(GB3544-2008). To improve sludge setting ability, organic flocculant, PAM was added while adjusting the effluent pH by Ca(OH)₂ solution. The investigation showed: besides controlling the effluent pH, Ca(OH)₂ played an important assistant part as coagulant, which ameliorated the sludge setting ability. What´ the most, the study provided significant basic data for project design of a CMP mill to treat the effluent advanced in Fujian province.
