Abstract:A typical process of low-rank coal pyrolysis wastewater treatment in Henan province was investigated for the degradation performance of aromatic compounds in each unit. Through comparison of degradation performance, the SBR process was regarded as the core unit for aromatic compounds degradation since it exhibited the highest removal efficiency on phenols (96.13%) and nitrogen heterocycle compounds (78.13%). Through the wastewater characterization during the entire process by gel chromatography, UV-vis absorption spectra and fluorescence spectrum, humic acid substance with molecular weight at 3 kDa, fluorescence peak at Ex/Em=(300~370) nm/(400~450) nm was inferred as the critical refractory pollutants. Finally, the statistical analysis revealed that acidification, air flotation, aerobic and chemical oxidation units were mainly responsible for the unfavorable performance of the entire process. Moreover, the targeted improvement suggestion was proposed according to the latest research and successful case. The result provides the reference for similar wastewater treatment engineering programs. Key words:low-rank coal/ coal pyrolysis wastewater/ aromatic compounds/ degradation characterization.
