A waste water purification system for purifying polluted salt water
including oil and the like by coagulating and separating pollutant matter
in the polluted salt water can regenerate and reuse a coagulant in the
system while scarcely resupplying the coagulant, an acid solution and an
alkaline solution. The acid and alkaline solutions are required for
disintegrating coagulated flocs from the polluted salt water and
regenerating the coagulant from sludge. Alkaline water enriched in sodium
hydroxide and an acidic aqueous solution containing hydrochloric acid and
the like are generated by electrolyzing the purified salt water. The
flocs in the separated sludge are disintegrated by use of the alkaline
water, pollutant matter is removed from the disintegrated aqueous
solution, and the strong acidic containing the hydrochloric acid is added
to the aqueous solution removed of the pollutant matter to have the
coagulant. The coagulant can be thus regenerated from the recovered
sludge.
