Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment and resource utilization, and in particular to a method for recovering divalent iron from acid mine wastewater and synthesizing ferrosoferric oxide. Background Art
[0002] Acid mine drainage mainly comes from the oxidation of sulfur-containing minerals, with a pH of usually 2.5-4.5, and contains high concentrations of metal ions such as iron and manganese.
[0003] The current mainstream technology for treating acid mine wastewater is the high-density mud method, which has a higher treatment efficiency than the traditional limestone neutralization method, but the cost is quite high, about 5-12 yuan / ton; the high-density mud method produces a large amount of mud in the process of treating wastewater and belongs to Class I industrial solid waste, which occupies a large area and has high and complex subsequent treatment costs; and the treatment efficiency of various metal pollutants such as iron and manganese is low and difficult to remove simultaneously. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more efficient mine wastewater treatment processes, improve resource recovery rates and reduce energy consumption, so as to provide more options and possibilities for the treatment of acid mine wastewater.
[0004] With the rapid development of electrochemical wastewater treatment technology, the electro-Fenton method has gradually replaced the electrodialysis method with high effluent salt concentration and the electro-flocculation method with short electrode life and high operating cost. The electro-Fenton method can effectively treat acid mine wastewater at a lower cost. However, after the electro-Fenton method treats the wastewater, the synthesized Schmidtite is difficult to recover and has low utilization value.
[0005] In the prior art, the iron precipitation reaction is used to recover the divalent iron ions in acidic mine wastewater. The divalent iron ions need to be oxidized into trivalent iron ions first, and then the pH of the wastewater is adjusted by adding alkaline reagents or phosphates to remove the trivalent iron precipitation. During the precipitation process, coagulants are also added to promote precipitation. While removing the divalent iron ions, this method will introduce other chemical reagents, causing secondary pollution. Summary of the invention

The iron ions in acid mine wastewater can be ferrous iron or mixed wastewater of ferrous iron and ferric iron.
[0054] The method for recovering ferrous iron from acid mine wastewater and synthesizing ferroferric oxide provided by the present invention has a removal rate of iron close to 100% when removing iron ions in wastewater, high processing efficiency and low cost.

Moreover, the method can achieve a removal rate of 100% for pollutants such as arsenic (V), chromium (III), manganese (II), copper (II) and zinc (II).
[0055] According to the present invention, preferably, the reactor includes an electrolytic cell 1 and a diaphragm 5 arranged in the electrolytic cell 1, the diaphragm 5 can separate the electrolytic cell 1 into a cathode chamber 7 and an anode chamber 3, and a magnetic stirrer 8 is built in the cathode chamber 7. The inventor found that when acid mine wastewater is added to the cathode chamber 7 as an electrolyte, after electrolysis, the iron in the wastewater will be converted into ferroferric oxide and removed. Exemplarily, the electrolytic cell 1 can be an H-shaped spliced cathode chamber 7 and anode chamber 3, the diaphragm 5 is fixed to the position where the cathode chamber 7 and the anode chamber 3 are connected in the middle, and after adding the electrolyte, the magnetic stirrer 8 is used to stir the cathode electrolyte, and the electrolytic cell 1 is sealed and electrolysis is started. After the electrolysis is completed, the electrolysis products in the cathode chamber 7 are separated, and the iron ions in the wastewater in the cathode chamber 7 can be removed.
[0056] According to the present invention, the reactor further comprises a cathode electrode 6 and an anode electrode 4, and the cathode electrode 6 and the anode electrode 4 can be independently designed into a plate-like, columnar, filamentous, mesh-like, spring-like, etc. structure. Preferably, the cathode electrode 6 is a plate-like structure, and the anode electrode 4 is a mesh-like structure. The inventors have found that when the cathode electrode 6 is a plate-like structure, the contact area between the electrode and the wastewater is large, which can speed up the electrolysis process and increase the electrolysis speed; the anode electrode 4 is a mesh-like structure, which can increase the effective contact area of the electrode, increase the speed of electron exchange, promote the electrolysis process, and accelerate the generation of ferroferric oxide.
[0057] Specifically, the cathode electrode 6 of the plate structure and the anode electrode 4 of the mesh structure are respectively connected to the regulated DC power supply through electrode rods, and the cathode electrode 6 and the anode electrode 4 are connected to the DC regulated power supply through electrode rods and wires. One end of the electrode rod of the cathode electrode 6 is connected in series with the plate structure, and the other end is connected to the negative electrode of the regulated DC power supply through a wire; one end of the electrode rod of the anode electrode 4 is connected in series with the mesh structure, and the other end is connected to the positive electrode of the regulated DC power supply through a wire.

Further preferably, when the cathode electrode 6 is a platinum metal plate and the anode electrode 4 is an iridium-plated titanium mesh, the cathode of the platinum metal plate is coupled with the anode of the iridium-plated titanium mesh, which can further increase the speed of electrolysis. The cathode uses precious metal platinum as a catalyst. This material has high current efficiency and the d electron orbital is not filled. It can catalyze the production of a large number of active oxidizing groups ·OH during the electrolysis process, promoting Fe 2+ Oxidized to Fe 3+ , forming the initial trivalent iron species of ferroferric oxide.

Further preferably, when the diaphragm 5 is a proton exchange membrane, the removal effect of iron ions in the wastewater is best. Exemplarily, the proton exchange membrane is an N117 proton exchange membrane. The proton exchange membrane can block the transfer of oxygen in the anode chamber 3, retaining the divalent iron species in the cathode chamber 7; at the same time, the hydrogen produced by the cathode electrolysis wastewater and the proton exchange membrane can isolate the external oxygen from entering the cathode chamber, retaining the divalent iron species required for ferroferric oxide, and the cathode alkaline oxygen-deficient conditions created by the electrolysis reaction are conducive to the formation of ferroferric oxide in the later stage.

[0063] According to the present invention, preferably, the electrolyte is sodium sulfate. Preferably, in the cathode electrolyte and the anode electrolyte, the mass concentration of the electrolyte is 15-30 g / L, specifically 15 g / L, 20 g / L, 25 g / L, 30 g / L, or any value between the above two values. The inventors found that when sodium sulfate is used as the electrolyte and the mass concentration is within the above range, the iron removal effect in the wastewater is better.

The inventors found that when the mass concentration of divalent iron ions in the acid mine wastewater is within the above range, the pollutant removal efficiency in the wastewater is higher, and the main components of the products are all ferroferric oxide.
[0065] According to the present invention, preferably, the acid mine wastewater may contain interfering ions.

[0066] According to the present invention, the acid mine wastewater is electrolyzed to remove pollutants using the above-mentioned treatment method for acid mine wastewater. In addition, the treatment of acid mine wastewater also includes the steps of precipitation, membrane treatment and neutralization treatment. The sedimentation treatment in the sedimentation tank can remove the sediment in the acid mine wastewater; the membrane treatment can remove the sulfate in the wastewater after electrolysis, and then the sulfate solid is obtained by evaporation and crystallization, which can be used as an electrolyte during the electrolysis treatment to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment; the wastewater treated by the membrane can be further treated by neutralization to reduce the alkalinity of the wastewater, so that the pH is reduced to 6-7, meeting the standard for wastewater discharge, and can also be recycled and reused.
