Recycling swine wastewater is an environmental and economic issue for promoting the sustainable development of the pig industry worldwide. The application of a flocculant, non-ionic polyacrylamide (NPAM) for treating the contaminants in wastewater was trialed in this study. Firstly, the optimal pH value for the coagulation–flocculation of NPAM was adjusted by hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The viscosity of the flocculant solution was examined by a rotational viscometer and the morphology of the flocculant on the glass surface was examined by an optical microscope and an atomic force microscope. The result showed that a pH value of 11 or more was best for NPAM coagulation–flocculation. Subsequently, the swine wastewater from the anoxic reactor of a three-stage manure treatment system was adjusted by a pH adjuster, calcium hydroxide, followed by the coagulation–flocculation of NPAM. The quality of the final, treated water was examined by a regular wastewater analysis. The results showed that the removal rates for copper ions, zinc ions, NH4+–N, total phosphate (TP), and total nitrogen (TN) were 96.3%, 97.8%, 99.2%, 94.9%, and 99.1%, respectively. Our study concluded that this water recycling method combining the existing organic fertilizer production and power generation enhanced the recycling strategy for swine wastewater treatment and could further the sustainable development of the pig industry.
