The invention discloses a technique for extracting
copper ions from industrial
wastewater, which comprises the following steps: 1) respectively pretreating an acidic coppery
etching waste liquid and an alkaline coppery
etching waste liquid; 2)
neutralization and
precipitation: carrying out
neutralization reaction on the acidic coppery
etching waste liquid and alkaline coppery etching waste liquid in a neutralizing tank, and precipitating to obtain a basic
copper chloride precipitate and a filtrate; 3) adding the basic
copper chloride precipitate into a reaction tank, and adding
sulfuric acid to obtain a
copper sulfate crystal; 4) sending the filtrate into an
ion exchange resin
tower to adsorb the rest unrecovered copper ions, thereby obtaining
ammonia nitrogen wastewater; and 5) carrying out evaporative concentration on the
ammonia nitrogen wastewater by a vapor recompression technique, crystallizing the concentrate to produce an
ammonium chloride product, treating the condensation water by an
ion-exchange process, and discharging after reaching the standard. The technique can greatly enhance the extraction rate of copper ions, solves the problem of environmental
pollution caused by heavy
metal ions, and can produce other products from the waste liquid to implement cyclic utilization, thereby saving the resources and protecting the environment.
