1. An advanced treatment method of ethanolamine-containing wastewater comprising:
a. a physicochemical process comprising:
i. an ion-exchanging step where ethanolamine in wastewater is captured by a cation exchange resin filled within an ion exchange resin tower; and
ii. a concentrating step where sodium hydroxide solution is transferred from a sodium hydroxide tank and air is passed through the cation exchange resin to reduce the volume of the ethanolamine-containing wastewater; and
b. a biological process where the ethanolamine-containing wastewater concentrated through the physicochemical process is passed through and treated by an anoxic tank, a first aerobic tank, and a second aerobic tank.
