APPLICATION OF LIQUID EXTRACTION FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT
This article presents the results of studies of the structure of the emulsion formed in the wastewater of edible oil production. The process of refining edible oils produces stable emulsions that are released into wastewater and pose a threat to the hydrosphere. The main pollutants in these wastewaters are organic substances, mainly of a fatty nature, which existing wastewater treatment plants are unable to treat to the level of sanitary requirements. This creates a significant environmental problem as it causes pollution of surface waters with organic substances.
