The effluent from polymerization industries contain some amount of polymer, hence needs to be treated before discharge. What are the methods in which such components in the effluent can be removed economically?
Fenton method can be used to break some organic components in effluent stream, but that may not be possible for polymers (even though organic). Is there an alternative method? Also what if the polymer is inorganic, how do we treat it?

Hi ,

Which polymers are you talking ? For latex Coagulation/filtration was the way to eliminate the pollutant .

I'm not sure about the polymer, but most likely it's an inorganic polymer, and the polymerization occurs in a batch reactor. The reactants and products are kept a trade secret. Most likely it is latex.

Can you tell me a method in which I could break the polymer?
