Outline of Final Research Achievements

The standard equipment of magnetic activated sludge process was developed. A few equipment were distributed to the researchers who are interested in magnetic separation application for water treatment. By acceleration of bench scale experimental step, 3 cases were able to progress to pilot scale stage. By using the standard equipment, some advanced magnetic activated sludge process, milking parlor wastewater treatment, biodegradation of animal antibiotics, biodegradation of 1,4 dioxane, purification of methane digestive juice, and so on were investigated, as a results, new processes were proposed.
International forum of magnetic force control, summer seminar of magnetic force control and magnetic application, and so on were held every year and helped networking between researchers of magnetic application for water treatment.
