The present invention relates to a method for decomposing a hardly decomposable substance in wastewater, which decomposes a hardly decomposable substance such as dioxins and exogenous endocrine disrupting substances (hereinafter referred to as environmental hormones).

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a wide range of organic substances and inorganic substances are contained in wastewater such as sewage treatment, human waste treatment, leachate wastewater treatment, and small-scale sewage treatment. Removal of persistent substances such as hormones has been difficult with conventional biological reaction removal equipment.

The conventional wastewater treatment methods include an activated sludge method used in ordinary sewage treatment, a batch activated sludge method in which all processes of this activated sludge method are carried out in one complete mixing reaction tank, and microorganisms are used as resin materials. There is a biofilm method, etc., in which the water is purified by passing it through fixed water. In these biological treatment facilities, decomposition of easily decomposable substances such as water solubility, low degree of polymerization, and low molecular weight is limited, and it is difficult to decompose hardly decomposable substances.

[0004] As the hardly decomposable substance, many colored substances called chromaticity components are included, but dioxins and environmental hormones have received particular attention in recent years. The reason why it is difficult to remove the hardly decomposable substance by the conventional biological treatment is that the intermolecular force of the hardly decomposable substance is extremely strong and many microorganisms do not have a decomposing enzyme for these substances.

Dioxins are highly toxic substances, carcinogenic,
It has various toxicities such as mutagenicity and reproductive inhibition.
Since dioxins have a property of being easily adsorbed on solid matter, they can be separated and removed by reverse osmosis membrane treatment of waste water. However, this method only concentrates dioxins and does not decompose them to render them harmless. On the contrary, the treatment of waste containing concentrated dioxins becomes a problem.

Environmental hormones have become known in recent years as substances that disturb the endocrine system of organisms and humans. It is known that this environmental hormone can also be efficiently separated by reverse osmosis membrane treatment, but the treatment of concentrated wastewater becomes a problem, as with dioxins. Moreover, although various studies have been conducted on the decomposition treatment method, it is hard to say that the expected results have been obtained.

Therefore, a method mainly used for treating wastewater containing hardly decomposable substances such as dioxins and environmental hormones is a physicochemical treatment method called an accelerated oxidation method. In this method, OH radicals which are strong oxidants are generated by ozone, hydrogen peroxide or ultraviolet rays, and the OH radicals try to oxidize and decompose the hardly decomposable substance.

However, it is said that ozone and hydrogen peroxide are not only expensive for chemicals but also extremely toxic to living organisms. It is known that ozone has mutagenicity and is involved in the formation of carcinogenic compounds, and hydrogen peroxide is also reported to be carcinogenic.

In the decomposition and removal method using ultraviolet rays, if suspended matter or chromaticity components (colored substances) are contained in the wastewater, the penetration of the ultraviolet rays is blocked, so that it becomes difficult for the ultraviolet rays to permeate the inside of the wastewater, which is difficult to decompose. The decomposition effect on the substance decreases sharply.

Further, since the equipment cost of the ozone generator and the ultraviolet irradiation device is high, a large amount of cost is required to install the ozone generator and the ultraviolet irradiation device as normal equipment of the wastewater treatment facility. In addition, there is a weak point that a large amount of energy is required to operate these devices and the running cost becomes high.

Further, as another physicochemical treatment method, there is a coagulation-precipitation method in which a coagulant such as polyacrylamide or PAC (polyaluminum chloride) is added to waste water. However, although polyacrylamide is excellent in aggregating ability, this substance itself exhibits strong mutagenicity. In particular, the residual acrylamide is concerned because acrylamide, a monomer contained in polyacrylamide, has carcinogenicity and neurotoxicity. In addition, PAC has been pointed out as its toxicity as a substance expressing Alzheimer's disease.

In the actual wastewater treatment, the hardly decomposing substance-degrading bacteria are cultured in the bioreactor. Therefore, when the content of organic substances as nutrient sources is small, sugars such as glucose, sucrose, and fructose as carbon sources, and alcohol. It is desirable to add a certain amount of the organic acids. Moreover, in order to prevent the propagation of other miscellaneous bacteria, a pH adjusting agent that sets the actual wastewater to be acidic is added.
