The operating pressure of the plate and frame filter press is controlled in the medium-low pressure range, and the moisture content of the filter cake is controlled within the preset range.

[0050] Comparative Example 1, the difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in the adsorbent preparation step of this comparative example, mesoporous silica gel loaded with dithizone-phosphonic acid bifunctional groups is not used, but a monofunctional group phosphonic acid modified adsorbent is used instead. The monofunctional group phosphonic acid modified adsorbent is an adsorbent formed by modifying the surface of mesoporous silica gel with phosphonic acid groups.

[0051] Comparative Example 2, the difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in the system construction step of this comparative example, a double adsorption column dynamic circulation system is not established, but a single fixed bed adsorption column is used instead.

Comparative Example 4, the difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in the pretreatment step of this comparative example, the waste acid liquid is not subjected to membrane separation and recovery and neutralization treatment.

[0054] Adsorbent cycle life test: record the number of cycles when the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent is attenuated to 80% of the initial capacity after regeneration, and measure the specific surface area change after each regeneration by nitrogen adsorption method.

[0055] System continuous operation stability test: record the unplanned downtime of the system due to regeneration switching or failure under continuous production conditions, and calculate the continuous operation rate.

[0056] Regeneration waste liquid treatment effect test: the discharge waste liquid after neutralization treatment is measured by atomic absorption spectrometry AAS to determine the residual amount of heavy metal ions, and acid-base titration method is used to measure the chemical oxygen demand COD.

[0058] By comparing and analyzing the related data in the table, it can be seen that the electronic grade sulfuric acid produced by the process of the present application not only has a high metal ion removal efficiency, but also has a long service life of the adsorbent, a stable continuous operation of the system, and an environmentally friendly treatment of waste liquid that meets the standard. Therefore, the electronic grade sulfuric acid deep decontamination production process based on dynamic circulation adsorption provided by the present application has a wider industrial application prospect and is more suitable for large-scale promotion.
