Method and apparatus for treating wastewater containing emulsified oil
First Claim
1. A method for treating wastewater that contains emulsified oil, the method comprising:
- feeding the wastewater that contains the emulsified oil to an electrolytic tank;
oxidatively electrolyzing the wastewater that contains the emulsified oil using indissoluble electrodes, wherein negatively charged emulsified oil particles in the wastewater are neutralized on a surface of an anode during the oxidative electrolysis, the anode comprising an indissoluble electrode with oxygen radical-generating characteristics;
particle group electrolyzing the wastewater using particle groups; and
discharging the treated wastewater.
