Abstract
The object of the present invention is reuse of the filtrate of a paint mist-cleaning water mixture as cleaning water without reduction in concentration efficiency. According to the present invention, a waste paint-cleaning water mixture 2 available on trapping a water-based paint mist in cleaning water 1 is concentrated to recover the paint and the aqueous phase is recycled as cleaning water. In this system, the cleaning water prepared by reusing the aqueous phase is adjusted to an acid value of not greater than 10 and a pH value of 7.0 to 9.0. Controlling the amount of low molecular acid components in the aqueous phase in this manner prevents an abnormal viscosity increase in the filtration-concentration of the waste paint-cleaning water mixture.
