Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electroplating wastewater treatment, and in particular relates to a ceramic electroplating wastewater treatment and metal recovery process. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the ceramic electroplating industry, the wastewater generated in its production process contains heavy metals (such as chromium, nickel, copper), cyanide, high-concentration ceramic suspended solids and organic additives and other complex pollutants. It has the characteristics of complex composition, high toxicity and difficulty in degradation. If it is discharged directly without effective treatment, it will cause irreversible harm to water bodies, soil and human health. According to statistics, the concentration of heavy metals in ceramic electroplating wastewater can reach hundreds of ppm, and the concentration of cyanide is as high as 50-200mg / L. The traditional treatment process mostly adopts "extensive" neutralization precipitation or chemical oxidation method, which has problems such as imprecise classification treatment, excessive dosage of reagents, and extensive control of reaction conditions. For example, when cyanide-containing wastewater and chromium-containing wastewater are mixed, hexavalent chromium is easy to form complexes with cyanide, resulting in reduced efficiency of redox reaction and difficulty in meeting the standards for residual pollutants; the conventional flocculation process has a retention rate of less than 30% for nano-ceramic particles, and heavy metal sludge is not effectively separated from different metal components, and direct landfill or incineration is easy to cause secondary pollution and waste of resources. In the existing technology, although the adsorption method can deeply remove low-concentration pollutants, the selective adsorption capacity of single materials such as activated carbon for multiple heavy metals is limited, and the regeneration cost is high; and the membrane separation technology is easily affected by the clogging of ceramic particles, and the life of the reverse osmosis membrane is greatly shortened. In addition, the metal recovery process generally relies on acid leaching electrolysis of mixed sludge after chemical precipitation, but the efficiency of traditional sulfuric acid leaching is low, and the current density of the electrolysis process is >300A / m 2 , and the recovery path is not optimized according to the characteristics of different metals, resulting in serious loss of precious metals such as nickel and copper. In view of the above technical bottlenecks, the industry urgently needs an integrated process with accurate classification, synergistic efficiency, resource utilization and pollution reduction and carbon reduction. The present invention systematically solves the problems of incomplete pollutant removal, low metal recovery rate and high operating cost through technologies such as graded pretreatment, diversion directional reaction, composite biosorption and acid leaching-electrolysis coupling, providing an innovative solution for the efficient treatment and resource recycling of ceramic electroplating wastewater.

[0005] The innovation of the patent of this invention lies in the precise separation of ceramic suspended solids and the differentiated treatment of cyanide-containing and chromium-containing wastewater through classified collection and multi-stage pretreatment technology; the innovative use of a split-merge reaction system, combined with a composite biological adsorption filler and an acid leaching-electrolysis coupling process, overcomes the problem of synergistic removal of multiple pollutants and achieves targeted recovery of heavy metals. Among them, key technologies such as two-stage oxidation of cyanide-containing wastewater, potential-controlled reduction of chromium-containing wastewater, activated carbon-hydroxyapatite-loaded biofilm adsorption, and low-energy electrolysis of titanium-based electrodes significantly improve treatment efficiency and resource utilization.
[0006] In order to achieve the purpose of the above invention patent, the technical solution of the invention patent is: a ceramic electroplating wastewater treatment and metal recovery process, characterized in that it includes the following steps: S1: classifying and collecting ceramic electroplating wastewater, the ceramic electroplating wastewater includes general electroplating wastewater, cyanide-containing electroplating wastewater, chromium-containing electroplating wastewater and ceramic suspended matter;
[0007] S2: pre-treating the ceramic electroplating wastewater, including removing the ceramic suspended matter by grid filtration and cyclone separation in sequence;
[0008] S3: The pretreated ceramic electroplating wastewater is diverted and treated by category: S31, sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide are added to the general electroplating wastewater to adjust the pH to 7.5-8.0, polyaluminium chloride and polyacrylamide are added for flocculation, and solid-liquid separation is performed after precipitation to obtain a first upper clear liquid and metal-containing sludge; S32, the cyanide-containing electroplating wastewater is adjusted to a pH of 10.5-11.0, sodium hypochlorite is added twice to oxidize cyanide, and pretreated cyanide-containing wastewater is obtained after neutralization; S33, sulfuric acid and sodium sulfite are added to the chromium-containing electroplating wastewater to reduce hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium, and the pH is adjusted to 7.5-8.5 and then precipitated to obtain pretreated chromium-containing wastewater;
[0009] S4: merging the pretreated cyanide-containing wastewater and the pretreated chromium-containing wastewater into the general electroplating wastewater to form comprehensive wastewater, and repeating step S31 to perform flocculation and sedimentation treatment;
[0010] S5: sequentially subjecting the first supernatant and the second supernatant treated in S4 to adsorption and reverse osmosis treatment to obtain qualified purified water;
[0011] S6: subjecting the metal-containing sludge to acid leaching, dissolving it, and recovering the metal element by electrolysis.
[0012] Furthermore, the centrifugal force of the cyclone separation in step S2 is 2000-4000 g, and ceramic particles with a particle size greater than 10 μm are separated.
[0013] Furthermore, in the step S31, the dosage of polyaluminium chloride is 1‰ to 5‰ of the volume of the wastewater, and the dosage of polyacrylamide is 0.1‰ of the volume of the wastewater.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S32, the mass ratio of the first addition of sodium hypochlorite is 3.5 to 4.5 times that of the cyanide ion, the mass ratio of the second addition is 10 to 15 times, and the stirring time for each time is 15 to 30 minutes.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S33, the dosage of sodium sulfite is controlled to control the redox potential to be 200-300 mV, and the reaction time is 20-40 min.
[0016] Furthermore, in the adsorption treatment in step S5, a composite filler of activated carbon and hydroxyapatite is used, and a sulfate-reducing bacteria biofilm is loaded on the surface of the filler.
[0017] Furthermore, in step S6, the acid leaching treatment uses a sulfuric acid solution with a concentration of 1 to 3 mol / L, and the current density during electrolysis is 100 to 200 A / m 2 .
[0018] Furthermore, the electrolysis method uses titanium-based coated electrodes, and the metal recovery rate after electrolysis is not less than 95%.
[0019] Beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. In view of the differences in the characteristics of cyanide-containing and chromium-containing wastewater, phased oxidation (sodium hypochlorite is added twice) and potential-controlled reduction (precise addition of sodium sulfite) are adopted to avoid interference from complex formation, ensuring that the cyanide oxidation rate is greater than 99% and the hexavalent chromium reduction rate is greater than 98%. After the diversion treatment, the flocculation is combined to reduce the excessive addition of reagents, the heavy metal enrichment of the sludge is increased by 40%, and the heavy metal concentration of the effluent is stably lower than 0.1mg / L, which is better than the national emission standard.
[0021] 2. Activated carbon and hydroxyapatite composite fillers are combined with sulfate-reducing bacteria biofilm to form a physicochemical-biological synergistic adsorption system. Hydroxyapatite fixes heavy metals through ion exchange, activated carbon adsorbs organic pollutants, and biofilm degrades residual cyanide and complexes, with the comprehensive removal rate increased to 99.5%. This design extends the life of the reverse osmosis membrane by more than 30%, reduces the risk of membrane clogging, and reduces operation and maintenance costs.
[0022] 3. Use 1-3 mol / L sulfuric acid gradient acid leaching sludge, combined with titanium-based coating electrodes (current density 100-200A / m 2 ) electrolysis, to achieve targeted precipitation of metals such as nickel and copper, with a recovery rate of ≥95%, compared with traditional acid leaching (efficiency <80%) and high-voltage electrolysis (energy consumption reduced by 50%). Sludge reduction reaches 70%, avoiding secondary landfill pollution, and metal resource recycling can reduce the cost of electroplating raw materials by more than 25%.
[0023] 4. Through the full chain design of graded pretreatment-diversion reaction-deep adsorption-electrolytic recovery, the reagent consumption is reduced by 30%, the water resource reuse rate exceeds 90%, and the carbon emission intensity is reduced by 40%. The system adapts to the fluctuating water quality of ceramic electroplating wastewater, and the cost of treating a ton of water is reduced by 20% compared with traditional processes, which has both environmental benefits and industrial promotion value.
