Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of comprehensive treatment of tin-containing wastewater from circuit boards, and specifically relates to a method for efficiently recovering and treating heavy metals in tin-containing wastewater. Background Art

[0002] Environmental pollution mainly comes from daily life and industrial production. Among them, industrial production has become one of the main causes of environmental pollution due to its complex composition, high content, high output and some difficulty in decomposition of pollutants. As one of the main wastewaters in the printed circuit board industry, tin-containing wastewater has a large amount of waste generated, contains a small amount of tin, iron, copper and a large amount of nitric acid and a variety of organic additives, has the characteristics of high free acidity and complex composition, and has difficult treatment technology, high cost of treatment, and great destructiveness to the environment. If improperly treated, it will cause serious environmental pollution.

[0003] At present, the treatment of tin-containing wastewater at home and abroad mainly adopts composite treatment technologies such as physical evaporation, ion exchange and membrane separation, and the treatment process varies according to the actual situation. Physical evaporation method for treating tin-containing wastewater includes natural evaporation, mechanical compression evaporation, multi-effect evaporation and other methods and technologies; membrane separation technology has the advantages of strong adaptability and good selectivity, but the membrane is easy to clog and corrode, needs to be replaced frequently, and has high cost; ion exchange technology is that ions in tin-containing wastewater exchange reaction with fixed anions or cations in ion exchange column. After the tin-containing wastewater passes through the anion and cation exchange column, cations such as sodium ions are replaced by hydrogen ions, and anions such as chloride ions are replaced by hydroxide ions. Finally, anions and cations are left in the ion exchange column to achieve the purpose of desalination. This method has the disadvantages of easy clogging of exchange resin, high regeneration cost, and difficult waste treatment after exchange. Compared with physical and chemical degradation technology, activated sludge biodegradation has the characteristics of high efficiency, thoroughness, no secondary pollution, low construction and operation cost, simple structure, and strong impact load resistance. Summary of the invention

The adjusted tin-containing wastewater is sent to a coagulation sedimentation tank, sodium carbonate solid is added, and the mixture is fully stirred for 20 to 30 minutes. A coagulant is then added thereto, and stirred for 20 to 30 minutes, and then the mixture is allowed to settle for 1 to 2 hours to obtain tin-containing coprecipitated flocs and wastewater with tin ions removed.

[0008] 3. Remove the tin ions and send the wastewater to the sulfur cycle multi-stage anaerobic biological treatment reactor for heavy metal complexation sedimentation and pollutant removal to obtain anaerobic sludge and supernatant containing heavy metals;

[0009] 4. The supernatant is sent to the sand filter tank for filtration, and the wastewater after sand filtration is discharged through the sewage pipe.

[0010] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0011] The present invention proposes a method for removing tin ions and other metal ions in wastewater by combining coagulation-precipitation-sulfur cycle heavy metal biological treatment technology.
