Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to integrated purification equipment, more specifically to integrated purification equipment for electroplating chromium bath liquid. Background Art
[0002] Chromium-containing electroplating, one of the three core plating types in the electroplating industry, encompasses key process steps such as roughening, chromium plating, and passivation. Its core raw material is chromic anhydride, a process that inevitably produces heavy metal chromium as a major pollutant. The roughening process is particularly critical and difficult to replace in the field of plastic electroplating. Although the market is actively promoting environmentally friendly processes such as trivalent chromium roughening and chromium-free roughening to replace traditional chromic acid roughening, the latter currently dominates. However, due to the characteristics of the chromic acid roughening process, the utilization rate of the roughening solution is low, and in long-term operation, its utilization rate only remains between 10% and 25%.
[0003] Directly replacing unused coarsening fluid with waste will produce large amounts of highly concentrated hexavalent chromium solution. This not only poses a severe challenge to wastewater treatment systems, increasing the difficulty and cost of treatment, but also represents a significant waste of precious chromium resources. To address this challenge, a variety of coarsening bath purification and recovery technologies have emerged on the market, such as diaphragm electrolysis, recovery tank concentration, low-temperature evaporation concentration, and activated carbon adsorption. However, these technologies are often limited to treating either organic matter or trivalent chromium separately, making it difficult to achieve simultaneous purification.
[0004] Given the dual importance of chromium coarsening solution recovery in terms of environmental protection and economic benefits, this utility model has developed a highly efficient electroplating chromium bath purification process. This process achieves a breakthrough in the simultaneous and deep removal of organic matter and cationic pollutants such as trivalent chromium from the chromium plating bath, effectively improving the purification efficiency and reuse value of the chromium bath. Through this process, not only is the closed-loop recycling of hexavalent chromium promoted, significantly reducing the hexavalent chromium concentration in wastewater discharge, but it also greatly reduces the burden and cost of subsequent wastewater treatment, opening up a new path for the green transformation and clean production of the electroplating industry, and has far-reaching significance for environmental protection and sustainable development. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an integrated purification device for electroplating chromium bath liquid, which adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] An integrated purification device for electroplating chromium bath liquid, characterized by comprising an impurity removal module and a recycling module, wherein the impurity removal module comprises a bath liquid lifting pump, a heat exchanger, a microporous filter, a macroporous resin exchange column, and a cationic resin exchange column connected in sequence, and further comprises a compressor; the recycling module comprises a chromium plating tank, a reflux pipe, and a water inlet pipe;
