Abstract:

In this paper, the pollutants in the wastewater from the manufacture of papermaking-reconstituted tobacco slice were analyzed via common chemical assays, FTIR and gas chromatography-mass spectrography （GC-MS）. The results show that the wastewater is of complicated pollutants, high suspended sediment concentration, acidity pH and good biodegradation property, that the pollutants mainly include the hydrolysates of cellulose, hemicellulose and liglin, and that there exist some matters with low molecular mass, some non-volatile organic acids, nicotine, tar and phenols in the wastewater, which darkens the wastewater. The complete biodegradation of the above-mentioned components is the key to the successful wastewater treatment during the manufacture of papermaking-reconstituted tobacco slice.

Key words: papermaking-reconstituted tobacco slice, organic pollutant, wastewater, nicotine
