An apparatus for waste water treatment, wherein fluorine contained in waste water is treated into a fluoride through a chemical reaction and sludge containing the fluoride is thickened and dehydrated into a sludge cake, has first and second tanks each packed with calcium carbonate mineral. In the first tank, waster water containing fluorine is agitated by air discharged from an air diffuser and caused to react with the calcium carbonate mineral. Through this reaction of the waste water with the calcium carbonate mineral and action of microorganisms on the surface of the calcium carbonate mineral, a pH value and a fluorine concentration of the waste water is adjusted till the pH value and the fluorine concentration fall within their respective predetermined ranges. In the second tank, an aluminum agent is added to the waste water coming from the first tank while the waste water being agitated so that the pH value and the fluorine concentration of the waste water are further adjusted through a chemical reaction of the fluorine with the calcium carbonate mineral and aluminum agent and action of microorganisms propagating on the surface of the mineral so as to fall within their respective target ranges.

A waste water treatment apparatus is provided which can treat a high-concentration waste water containing persistent chemical substances including nitrogen and surfactant simultaneously with small amount of exhaust gases and is yet simple in construction. The apparatus has a first bioreactor having a lower portion including an inflow pipe for admission of waste water to be treated and aeration means, and an upper portion packed with vinylidene chloride fillers; a second bioreactor including a filler-packed portion packed with charcoal and calcium carbonate fillers; and an exhaust gas introduction diffuser for directing exhaust gases generated in an uppermost portion of the first bioreactor into the filler-packed portion. The water under treatment is anaerobically treated in the lower portion and is subjected to aerobic treatment and also to anaerobic treatment in the upper portion. Further, in the second bioreactor, the water under treatment is again aerobically treated and, at the same time, the exhaust gases from the first bioreactor are also aerobically treated.
