It is dissolved in the form of (valent selenium). Although these ions may exist alone in the waste water, usually, both of them coexist in many cases. Regarding the technology for removing selenium contained in such selenium-containing wastewater, there is a legal background that selenium was newly added to the regulatory items due to the revision of the Water Pollution Control Act in 1993, and until that time, removal was particularly necessary. Therefore, the fact is that sufficient consideration has not been made.

Among the above-mentioned selenium removing methods, in the chemical treatment method of adding a chemical to produce an insoluble selenium compound, the insoluble selenium compound is relatively removed from tetravalent SeO 3 2−. Easily generated, but with hexavalent Se
An insoluble selenium compound is unlikely to be produced from O 4 2− , and thus it is difficult to remove hexavalent SeO 4 2− . In addition, in the chemical treatment method with ferrous salt of, SeO 3 2-
And it is possible to remove both SeO 4 2-
This method requires a considerably large amount of ferrous salt and produces a large amount of insoluble matter (sludge) after solid-liquid separation, which is disadvantageous in terms of running cost and waste treatment cost. On the other hand, in the biological treatment method of removing selenium oxide by reducing it to simple substance selenium by anaerobic biological treatment, both SeO 3 2− and SeO 4 2− can be reduced to Se. This is an economically advantageous method because it does not use any.

(A) In the anaerobic biological treatment for reducing selenium oxide to simple selenium, a specific water passage is formed in the biological treatment tank during continuous treatment, and the water to be treated is It is conceivable that a phenomenon (short path) that only passes through the passage will occur. When such a short pass occurs,
Since the contact efficiency between the microorganisms and the water to be treated becomes poor, the reaction efficiency of the reduction reaction and the stability of the treatment decrease. Therefore, as a result of studying means for preventing the treatment performance from being deteriorated as much as possible when a short pass occurs, the present inventors have achieved the object by sequentially performing biological treatment by a plurality of biological treatment tanks. It has been found that this can be achieved and the treated water quality can be stabilized.

That is, when biological treatment is performed using a single biological treatment tank, if a short path occurs in the biological treatment tank and the reaction efficiency of the reduction reaction and the stability of the treatment decrease,
The unreduced selenium oxide remains in the treated water. On the other hand, in the case where the biological treatment is performed sequentially by a plurality of biological treatment tanks, even if a short path occurs in the biological treatment tank in the previous stage, the outflow water is treated again in the biological treatment tank in the subsequent stage. Therefore, deterioration of the final treated water quality can be prevented.

(B) In the anaerobic biological treatment for reducing selenium oxide to elemental selenium, anaerobic microorganisms grow as the treatment is continued, and after the reduction of selenium oxide, insolubilized elemental selenium remains in the treatment tank. The accumulated selenium accumulates in the sludge and is present in a mixed state with the sludge composed of anaerobic microorganisms. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly wash the inside of the treatment tank to remove the accumulated selenium together with the excess sludge. In the floating biological treatment tank, the removal of elemental selenium from the inside of the treatment tank is performed by providing a settling tank after the biological treatment tank and pulling out sludge containing the elemental selenium therefrom. In the fixed-bed biological treatment tank and the fluidized-bed biological treatment tank, the sludge containing simple selenium is discharged from the treatment tank by washing by air backwashing, water backwashing, or the like.

However, in the case of the biological treatment tank for cleaning the inside of the treatment tank to remove the simple selenium as described above, the sludge is discharged out of the system together with the simple selenium, so that the sludge amount in the treatment tank is reduced in some cases. As a result, the reaction efficiency and stability of the reduction reaction may decrease, and the quality of treated water may temporarily deteriorate. In particular, when the concentration of selenium oxide in the waste water is high, the amount of elemental selenium that accumulates in the treatment tank will be quite large, so it will be necessary to frequently clean the inside of the treatment tank, and sludge outside the system will be discharged. Temporary deterioration of treated water quality due to excessive runoff will often occur.

[0012] Therefore, the present inventors have conducted a study on means for preventing the deterioration of the quality of the treated water when the inside of the treatment tank is washed to remove the simple selenium, and as a result, the biological treatment is carried out by a plurality of biological treatments. In addition to cleaning all the biological treatment tanks at once, the cleaning tanks should be cleaned one by one or as a set of two or more tanks.
By sequentially cleaning at different times, a large amount of sludge is temporarily prevented from flowing out of the system, and the temporary treated water quality as described above due to excess sludge flowing out of the system In particular, if the treatment tank whose reduction performance has deteriorated due to cleaning is moved to the final tank and the treatment tank that has not been cleaned and has good reduction performance is shifted forward (described later), the treated water quality can be reduced. It has been found that the temporary deterioration of the can be effectively prevented.

(C) When nitrate ions coexist with selenium oxide in the selenium-containing wastewater, the easiness of reduction reaction by these organisms differs. That is, nitrate ions are more easily reduced than selenium oxide. Therefore, when treating selenium-containing wastewater in which nitrate ions coexist in a single biological treatment tank, nitrate ions are preferentially reduced to interfere with the reduction of selenium oxide, and selenium oxide is sufficiently converted to simple selenium. It is possible that it will not be reduced.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have studied the means for eliminating the interference of the reduction of selenium oxide by nitrate ions, and found that the biological treatment should be performed sequentially by a plurality of biological treatment tanks. In that case, as a result of the nitrate ions being preferentially reduced in the frontmost biological treatment tank,
It was found that selenium oxide is efficiently and stably reduced in the biological treatment tank at the latter stage in a state where the concentration of nitrate ion is reduced without being significantly disturbed by nitrate ion.

In the selenium-containing wastewater, sulfate ions may coexist with nitrate ions, and the sulfate ions are also reduced, but it is considered that the sulfate ions are less likely to be reduced than the selenium oxide. . Therefore, when treating selenium-containing wastewater in which nitrate ions and sulfate ions coexist in a single biological treatment tank, nitrate ions may be preferentially reduced to interfere with the reduction of selenium oxide and sulfate ions. is there.

Therefore, if the biological treatment is carried out sequentially by a plurality of biological treatment tanks, preferably three or more biological treatment tanks,

Sulfate ions will be reduced with the selenium oxide concentration reduced, so selenium oxide,
It becomes possible to satisfactorily reduce nitrate ions and sulfate ions, respectively.

(D) In reducing substances such as selenium oxide, nitrate ion, and sulfate ion, which have different easiness of reduction reaction, it is considered that there is a difference in the growth rate of reducing organisms that reduce each substance. The amount of excess sludge generated by the reduction reaction is also considered to be different. As a result, if wastewater containing substances with different susceptibility to reduction reactions is treated in a single biological treatment tank, slow-growing organisms will flow out of the system when sludge is discharged during cleaning of the treatment tank. , The reaction efficiency of the reduction reaction by the organism becomes poor. On the other hand, biological treatment is performed sequentially by a plurality of biological treatment tanks,
By separating the reducing organisms that reduce each substance, it is possible to prevent specific organisms with slow growth from flowing out of the system excessively during sludge discharge, and to efficiently and stably perform each reducing reaction. It is possible to do it.

A hydrogen donor is required to reduce selenium oxide to elemental selenium by biological treatment, but when the required hydrogen donor (organic matter, etc.) is insufficient in the selenium-containing wastewater (raw water), The shortage of hydrogen donor can be added to the water to be treated to eliminate the shortage. In addition, when nitrate ions and sulfate ions are present in the raw water and the hydrogen donors necessary for the reduction of selenium oxide and the reduction of nitrate ions and sulfate ions are insufficient in the raw water, nitrate ions and sulfate ions are required. Considering the amount of hydrogen donor required for ion reduction, it is preferable to add a shortage of hydrogen donor to the water to be treated to eliminate the shortage. This is because the hydrogen donor is also consumed for the reduction of nitrate ions and sulfate ions. The hydrogen donor can be added to the raw water in front of the frontmost biological treatment tank, or to the water to be treated in the frontmost biological treatment tank, in the total amount required for reduction in all the tanks. . In addition, before or in each tank, the amount necessary for reduction in the tank may be added to the water to be treated.

In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, as described above, the anaerobic microorganisms grow as the treatment is continued, and simple selenium insolubilized after the reduction of the selenium oxide accumulates in the treatment tank. It is necessary to wash the inside of the treatment tank and remove the accumulated selenium along with the surplus microorganisms. In this case, it is preferable to adopt the following cleaning method. That is, in order to prevent unnecessary sludge (microorganisms) from flowing out of the system during cleaning, all biological treatment tanks A, B, and C are not cleaned at one time, but one tank or two tanks are grouped together. Therefore, it is preferable that the cleaning is performed sequentially at different times. As a result, it is possible to reduce the temporary deterioration of the quality of the treated water due to the excess sludge flowing out of the system.

If it is desired to further prevent deterioration of the quality of treated water after discharging excess sludge by washing, the following can be carried out. That is, first, only the first tank A is cleaned, and after cleaning, the tank A is changed to the final tank as shown in FIG. 1B, the tank B is called the first tank, and the tank C is called the second tank. Shift one step forward. At the time of the next cleaning, only the first tank B is cleaned, and after cleaning, tank B is the final tank (Fig. 1c). Repeat this with each wash. In this case, the same treatment tank shift may be realized by changing the inflow order of the water to be treated by changing the raw water injection position or opening / closing the piping valve without actually changing the treatment tank position. In this way, by moving the treatment tank whose reduction performance has deteriorated due to washing to the final tank and shifting the second and subsequent non-washed tanks with good reduction performance forward, the deterioration of treated water quality after sludge discharge is minimized. It is possible to limit it.

In the final treated water of 99% or more, hexavalent selenium (S
eO 4 2 ) was removed, and the residual amount of tetravalent selenium (SeO 3 2− ) was about 3 mgSe / l, because tetravalent selenium may be produced by reduction of hexavalent selenium. On the other hand, in the treated water of Treatment Y, the removal rate of hexavalent selenium was about 95%, and the residual amount of tetravalent selenium was about 6 mgSe / l. Therefore, it was confirmed that the reduction reaction of selenium oxide occurs more stably by sequentially performing the biological treatment using a plurality of biological treatment tanks.
