[Biophysico-chemical purification of highly concentrated waste water from antibiotic-producing plant]

The data on the studies performed in laboratory and pilot plant units (oxybiosorbers) on purification of sewage from antibiotic production are presented. The main technological parameters of the process were defined: the duration of the purification was 60 to 90 minutes, the unit had sections (the modulus column reactor was composed of 3 sections), the total dose of the oxidizing agent was divided to the number of the sections and supplied to each section. The oxybiosorbers were used for conducting processes of the contaminant catalytic oxidation i.e. sorption, biosorption and biooxidation requiring low rates. The process of purification in the oxybiosorbers was intensified by periodical purification of the charges (catalyst, sorbent and activated charcoal).
