Abstract: Fermentation mother liquid of monosodium L-glutamate wastewater has very high COD concentration. In order to reduce organic load in the subsequent bio-treatments, a study of pretreatment using microelectrolysisflocculation was carried out. The experiment investigated the influences of pH,Fe/C and reaction temperatures on COD removal rate and an orthogonal test was carried out to search the optimum experimental conditions. The result indicated that aerating can observably increase COD removal rate; the optimal reaction parameter were: initial pH=2, outflow pH=9, Fe/C=0.5, reaction time=3 h, average COD removal rate can attain to 48.7% under the optimal conditions.
