The invention relates to a method for treating a low-concentration
ammonia-
nitrogen wastewater or feed liquid. The method comprises the steps: firstly, pre-treating the low-concentration
ammonia-
nitrogen wastewater or feed liquid, removing impurities in the
wastewater or feed liquid, adjusting the pH of the wastewater or feed liquid to 6-7.5, and increasing the
surface tension to 40 mN / m or even 65 mN / m or more; then carrying out
selective adsorption treatment on the pretreated low-concentration
ammonia-
nitrogen wastewater or feed liquid with
zeolite, making the ammonia-nitrogen average concentration of the wastewater or feed liquid subjected to adsorption less than a predetermined value, when the ammonia-nitrogen average concentration of the wastewater or feed liquid after the adsorption treatment reaches the predetermined value, carrying out regeneration treatment on
zeolite by utilizing a regeneration liquid, and thus obtaining an ammonia-nitrogen enriched regeneration liquid; followed by allowing the ammonia-nitrogen enriched regeneration liquid to enter a gas membrane separation device, and carrying out
deamination treatment; and finally carrying out concentration treatment on the ammonia-nitrogen removed regeneration liquid, and thus obtaining a recyclable regeneration liquid. The method has the advantages of simple operation, small
energy consumption, low operation cost, no secondary
pollution, economy and
environmental protection.
