Methods and systems are provided for wastewater treatment that yields zero liquid discharge (ZLD). These include pre-treating provided wastewater from any contaminated water source to remove heavy metals, ultra-filtering the pre-treated wastewater to remove suspended and colloidal solids, nano-filtering the ultra-filtered wastewater to yield treated water (with monovalent ions) and a concentrate, treating the concentrate to remove di- and tri-valent elements and other compounds from the concentrate, and to reduce a level of sulfates to a specified level which is above a solubility level of sulfates&#x2014;to yield returned water, and sludge, mixing the returned water with the provided wastewater before or at the first treatment stage and/or with the pre-treated wastewater before the ultrafiltration, and removing residual water from the sludge to yield removed solids with ZLD. Advantageously, disclosed processes and systems are efficient, cheaper and more sustainable than prior art systems.

ZLD (zero liquid discharge) wastewater treatment

Methods and systems are provided for industrial wastewater treatment that yields zero liquid discharge (ZLD). These include pre-treating provided industrial wastewater to remove heavy metals, ultra-filtering the pre-treated wastewater to remove suspended and colloidal solids, nano-filtering the ultra-filtered wastewater to yield treated water (with monovalent ions) and a concentrate, treating the concentrate to remove di- and tri-valent elements and other compounds from the concentrate, and to reduce a level of sulfates to a specified level which is above a solubility level of sulfates&#x2014;to yield returned water, and sludge, mixing the returned water with the provided industrial wastewater before or at the first treatment stage and/or with the pre-treated wastewater before the ultrafiltration, and removing residual water from the sludge to yield removed solids with ZLD. Advantageously, disclosed processes and systems are efficient, cheaper and more sustainable than prior art systems.

Industrial wastewater treatment

A cellulosic feedstock composition including an oil content of up to 15% of the composition, a cellulose content of 40-99% of the composition, a hemicellulose content of 2-20% of the composition, a lignin content of less than 15% of the composition, a nitrogen containing organic compound content of less than 20% of the composition, a protein containing organic compound content of less than 20% of the composition, a mineral content of less than 5% of the composition, a sand content of less than 5% of the composition, and a dirt content of less than 25% of the composition.
