Abstract

In order to determine the effect of the caramel pigment on the pollution load in high-concentration yeast wastewater,the caramel pigment in the high-concentration yeast wastewater was extracted by means of ultrafiltration membrane separation.Then,the properties of the caramel pigment were investigated,and the influence of the ex- traction on both the pollution load and the subsequent anaerobic treatment was also explored.The results show that the caramel pigment in the high-concentration yeast wastewater can be extracted for the utilization of resource,with an extraction ratio of 15g/L and an appearance quality which is up to the national standard.After the extraction,the CODCr and color of the wastewater and the pollution load significantly decrease,while the biodegradability of CODCr /BOD5 increases from 0. 33 to 0. 51,and thus the efficiency of the subsequent anaerobic treatment is greatly improved.The research results can provide a new technical route for the resource utilization and effective treatment of high-concentration fermentation wastewater.
