The paper summarizes the results obtained from the study on combined electr
on-beam and coagulation method for purification of molasses distillery slop
s from distillery produced ethyl alcohol by fermentation of grain, potato,
best and some other plant materials. The method consists in preliminary mix
ing of industrial wastewater with municipal wastewater, electron-beam treat
ment of the mixture and subsequent coagulation. Technical and economic eval
uation of large-scale facility (output of 7000 m(3) day(-1)) with two power
ful cascade electron accelerators (total maximum beam power of 409 kW) for
treatment of the wastewater by the above method was carried out. IL was cal
culated that the cost of purification of the wastes is equal to 0.25 US$ m(
-3) that is noticeably less than in the case of the existing method. (C) 20
