To summarize the wastewater treatment techniques described above, in general wastewater treatment, organic wastewater and inorganic wastewater are treated separately. In organic wastewater, activated sludge treatment is generally performed to decompose organic substances. However, in this method, a large amount of sludge generated from decomposed products of organic substances is generated, so that it is necessary to treat sludge. Also,
For inorganic wastewater, especially wastewater containing heavy metals,
The method is to separate and treat heavy metals as hydroxides by making the hydrogen ion concentration (PH value) of the wastewater alkaline, and this also requires treatment of heavy metals that have become hydroxides. For this reason, solid precipitates are formed by coagulation sedimentation. Processing of these solid precipitates required a very large separation area due to the use of gravity. In addition, filtration using pressure generally employs a method of filtering the entire amount, which is not practical because the clogging by sediment is fast, maintenance frequency is increased due to clogging and the like.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the first object of the present invention, a separation membrane through which particles having an arbitrary particle size can pass is used, and slurry-containing wastewater is caused to flow in parallel with the surface of the separation membrane.
Separation and regeneration are performed by a cross-flow filtration method that prevents clogging and blockage of the membrane. With the cross-flow filtration method, the slurry adhering to the membrane surface is separated by the turbulent flow caused by the flow of the wastewater, so that the membrane surface is less blocked and a stable amount of treated water can be obtained. Can be recycled and collected. The recovered and recovered slurry is circulated in the present filter, and after adjusting the concentration ratio in accordance with the composition used at the time of reuse, is returned to the slurry supply unit and is recycled.
