Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial wastewater pollution control, and more specifically, to a method for the hierarchical recovery of copper and arsenic in wastewater. Background Art

[0002] Many industrial sectors in China generate a large amount of wastewater containing copper and arsenic. Both copper and arsenic are highly biotoxic and must be removed before the wastewater is discharged. Currently, lime neutralization precipitation method and sulfide method are the most commonly used methods for treating wastewater. Among them, the principle of the lime neutralization method is to add calcium oxide (CaO) to form copper hydroxide, calcium arsenate, and calcium arsenite in the wastewater to achieve the purpose of removing copper and arsenic; however, the copper- and arsenic-containing waste residue generated by this method is difficult to treat and is prone to cause secondary pollution to the environment. The principle of removing copper and arsenic by the sulfide method is to add sodium sulfide or hydrogen sulfide to form copper sulfide (CuS) and arsenic sulfide (As 2 S 3 ) precipitates in the wastewater to achieve the removal of copper and arsenic; however, the value of arsenic sulfide precipitate is relatively low and it is difficult to achieve resource utilization. Moreover, its properties are unstable and it is easy to be oxidized to arsenic trioxide (As 2 O 3 ) under natural conditions, thus generating mixed hazardous waste. In short, the current methods for removing copper and arsenic from wastewater generate a large amount of hazardous waste that is difficult to treat, and there are defects such as the difficulty in recycling and resource utilization of copper and arsenic.

[0003] The price of elemental copper is 69,000 yuan per ton and it is widely used in the electrical, electronics industries, and alloy manufacturing industries. The price of elemental arsenic is 100,000 yuan per ton and it is a key raw material for manufacturing semiconductor materials (such as gallium arsenide and indium arsenide) and alloy materials. Therefore, efficiently hierarchically recovering copper and arsenic in wastewater and converting them into high-value elemental forms can not only avoid the generation of hazardous waste residues but also achieve the recovery of valuable elements. In view of this, the present invention provides a method for the hierarchical recovery of copper and arsenic in wastewater. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The principles and features of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] The method for the hierarchical recovery of copper and arsenic in wastewater of the present invention uses sodium dithionite (Na 2 S2 O 4 ) The copper ions and arsenic ions in the wastewater are respectively recovered under different pH conditions to obtain elemental copper and elemental arsenic.

[0034] The method for the hierarchical recovery of copper and arsenic in the wastewater of the present invention is based on the difference in the standard electrode potentials of copper ions and arsenic ions under different pH conditions, which causes the copper ions and arsenic ions to be successively reduced, thereby realizing the hierarchical recovery of copper and arsenic. This recovery method can achieve efficient hierarchical recovery without introducing too many substances, and the obtained elemental copper and elemental arsenic have high purity, enabling them to be effectively reused. At the same time, the treated wastewater can also meet the discharge standards, realizing the effective treatment of the wastewater.

[0035] Specifically, the hierarchical recovery method of the present invention successively includes a copper recovery stage and an arsenic recovery stage. In the copper recovery stage, the pH value of the wastewater is 4, and in the arsenic recovery stage, the pH value of the wastewater is 2.

[0036] Under the above conditions, the specific principle of the hierarchical recovery is based on the difference in standard electrode potentials, E 0 (Cu(II) / Cu(0)) = 0.34V > E 0 (As(III) / As(0)) = 0.24V, so copper ions are more easily reduced. Quantitatively adding Na 2 S 2 O 4 , first reduces the copper ions to elemental copper; under ultrasonic conditions, Na 2 S 2 O 4 can quickly decompose to generate SO 2 - free radicals. At the same time, the reaction of SO 2 - with H + will generate H· free radicals. The SO 2 - and H· free radicals react with As(III) to form elemental arsenic.

[0037] The above process can remove more than 99.9% of copper and arsenic in the wastewater, recover more than 99.5% of copper and arsenic in the wastewater, and obtain high-purity elemental copper and elemental arsenic products (the arsenic content is greater than 99.5 wt%), realizing the efficient removal and resource recovery of copper and arsenic.

[0038] Preferably, in the copper recovery stage, the molar ratio of sodium dithionite to copper ions in the wastewater is 3-6:1. Since side reactions occur during the reaction, setting the above molar ratio range can avoid waste of sodium dithionite and secondary pollution of the wastewater when the molar ratio of sodium dithionite to copper ions in the wastewater is greater than this range. When the molar ratio of sodium dithionite to copper ions in the wastewater is less than this range, the reaction will be incomplete, resulting in poor removal and / or recovery of copper ions, and only 30-70% of copper can be recovered.

[0039] Preferably, in the arsenic recovery stage, the molar ratio of sodium dithionite to arsenic ions in the wastewater is 1.5-2:1.

[0040] The method for the fractional recovery of copper and arsenic in the wastewater of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0041] S1. Obtain the contents of copper ions and trivalent arsenic ions in the wastewater and the pH value of the wastewater.

[0042] The contents of copper ions and trivalent arsenic ions and the pH value of the wastewater can be obtained by conventional means.

[0043] S2. According to the pH value of the wastewater, add an acid solution or an alkali solution to the wastewater until the pH value of the wastewater is 4. Then add sodium dithionite to the wastewater, stir and react, and then filter. Collect the first filtrate and the first filter residue respectively, and perform post-treatment on the first filter residue to obtain elemental copper.

[0044] In this step, the main chemical reactions are shown in reaction formulas (1)-(3):

[0045] S 2 O 4 2- +2Cu 2+ +2H 2 O→Cu↓+2SO 3 2- +4H + Reaction formula (1)

[0046] 2S 2 O 4 2- +H 2 O→S 2 O 3 2- +2HSO 3 - Reaction formula (2)

[0047] 2S 2 O 4 2- +2H + →2SO 2+H 2 O+S 2 O 3 2- Reaction formula (3)

[0048] During the reaction process, the reaction process of reaction formula (1) is the main reaction, and the reaction processes of reaction formulas (2) and (3) are side reactions.

[0049] In this step, when the pH value of the wastewater is greater than 4, an acid solution is added to the wastewater; when the pH value of the wastewater is less than 4, an alkali solution is added to the wastewater. The acid solution can be one or more of H 2 SO 4 , HCl, HNO 3 , and the alkali solution can be NaOH.

[0050] Preferably, in this step, the stirring method includes any one of magnetic stirring, mechanical stirring, and rotary mixing.

[0051] Preferably, the stirring frequency is 150 - 250 r / min, and the stirring time is 5 - 15 min.

[0052] S3. Add an acid solution to the first filtrate until the pH value of the first filtrate is 2. Add sodium dithionite to the first filtrate, perform the first ultrasonic treatment and reaction, then filter, collect the second filtrate and the second filter residue respectively, and perform post-treatment on the second filter residue to obtain elemental arsenic.

[0053] In this step, the main chemical reactions are shown in reaction formulas (4) - (12):

[0054]

[0055] H 3 AsO 3 + 3H· → 3H 2 O + As↓ Reaction formula (8)

[0056]

[0057] 2H 2 S + SO 2 → 3 / 8S 8 ↓ + 2H 2 O Reaction formula (12)

[0058] During the reaction process, the reaction processes of reaction formulas (4) - (8) are the main reactions, and the reaction processes of reaction formulas (9) - (12) are side reactions.

[0059] Preferably, the acid solution used in this step can be H 2 SO4 , HCl, HNO 3 One or more of them.

[0060] Preferably, the power of the first ultrasonic treatment is 100 - 500 W and the time is 30 - 240 s; more preferably, the power of the first ultrasonic treatment is 200 - 400 W and the time is 40 - 120 s.

[0061] Preferably, in this step, the post-treatment of the second filter residue is to put the second filter residue into a carbon disulfide solution for the second ultrasonic treatment, filter and collect the third filter residue, and wash and dry the third filter residue. Since side reactions (9)-(12) will occur during the reaction, there will be trace amounts of elemental sulfur in the second filter residue. Therefore, the second filter residue is put into a carbon disulfide solution for ultrasonic treatment to dissolve the trace elemental sulfur and obtain high-purity elemental arsenic.

[0062] Preferably, the power of the second ultrasonic treatment is 100 - 500 W and the time is 10 - 60 min; more preferably, the time of the second ultrasonic treatment is 10 - 60 min, and even more preferably 20 - 30 min.

[0063] The specific process of the present invention is as Figure 1 shown. In addition, it should be noted that in the method of the present invention, washing means washing with water by a conventional method, the solid-liquid separation method is a combination of one or more of sand filtration, pressure filtration, membrane filtration and centrifugal separation, and drying is also a conventional drying method, and the specific temperature is not limited.
