Abstract
Abstract A process for treatment of waste water exhausted from a water-wash spray booth using a water-soluble paint which comprises adding an acidic agent and an alkaline agent, which can form a salt insoluble or hardly soluble in water as the result of the interaction between them, to the waste water while keeping its pH value in the range of about 6 to 9 so as to cause the water-soluble paint to be deposited as a non-adhesive coagulation product and eliminating the non-adhesive coagulation product from the resultant waste water by a conventional procedure for separation of solid and liquid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A process for the treatment of waste water containing a water-soluble paint in uncoagulated form which comprises alternately adding an acidic agent and an alkaline agent to said water to form an insoluble or slightly soluble salt in said water, while keeping said water at a pH value in the range of about 6 to 9, so as to cause the water-soluble paint to be deposited as a non-adhesive coagulation product and eliminating said non-adhesive product from the waste water so treated by liquid-solid separation, said acidic and alkaline agent being added in an amount effective to substantially coagulate said paint.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A process for the treatment of waste water containing a water-soluble paint in uncoagulated form which comprises alternately adding an acidic agent and an alkaline agent to said water to form an insoluble or slightly soluble salt in said water, while keeping said water at a pH value in the range of about 6 to 9, so as to cause the water-soluble paint to be deposited as a non-adhesive coagulation product and eliminating said non-adhesive product from the waste water so treated by liquid-solid separation, said acidic and alkaline agent being added in an amount effective to substantially coagulate said paint.
