Abstract
An apparatus for the treatment of a low-concentration organic waste water for relaim a low-concentration organic waste water having a TOC concentration of from 0.5 to 3 ppm and obtaining an ultra pure water having a TOC concentration of not more than 1 ppb is characterized by the fact that a first treating system comprising a reverse osmosis unit for transforming a low-concentration organic waste water having a TOC concentration of from 0.5 to 3 ppm into a low-concentration organic waste water having a TOC concentration of from 60 to 200 ppb and a vacuum degasifier adapted to admit an inert gas at a volumetric feed flow rate in the range of from 0.001 to 1.0 based on the volume of the waste water under treatment at a vacuum rate of not more than 35 Torrs and a second treating system comprising a low-pressure ultraviolet decomposition unit for emitting an ultraviolet light of a wavelength of 184.9 nm and an ion-exchange column are disposed along the flow path of the waste water sequentially in the order mentioned. This apparatus operates with a reduction in both initial cost and running cost because it uses a vacuum degasifier of low running cost with high efficiency and also uses a…
