[0057] Example 2: Treatment of electroless nickel plating wastewater
[0058] The electroless nickel plating wastewater from an electronic factory was taken as an example (Ni 2+ The concentration of the wastewater was 450 mg / L, and the wastewater contained complexing agents such as citrate and lactate. The specific steps were as follows:
[0059] Adjustment: The electroless nickel plating wastewater was introduced into an adjustment tank, and the pH value was adjusted to 5.5±0.2. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 concentration: 75 mg / L) was added to oxidize the residual hypophosphite in the electroless nickel plating wastewater. The amount of hydrogen peroxide was sufficient to remove the hypophosphite. The residence time was 40 min, and pretreated wastewater was obtained.
[0060] Charged nanofiltration membrane separation: The pretreated wastewater was pumped into a nanofiltration membrane separation system. The membrane material was a sulfonated polyether sulfone modified nanofiltration membrane with a negative charge on the surface and a molecular weight cutoff of 400-500 Da. The membrane module was a flat-plate nanofiltration membrane element with an effective membrane area of 15 m 2 ; The operating parameters were as follows: operating pressure: 0.7-0.9 MPa; temperature: 28±2℃; recovery rate: controlled at 65-70%; cross-flow velocity: 0.4-0.5 m / s. The electroless nickel plating wastewater needed to be pretreated: 0.5 mg / L of polyacrylamide was added to the pretreated wastewater as a fouling inhibitor. The separation effect was as follows: about 75% of the ionic nickel passed through the membrane into the permeate, and more than 85% of the complexed nickel was retained in the concentrate. Membrane cleaning: after 48 hours of operation, a combination of citric acid (pH=3.0) and EDTA (0.5%) solution was used for cleaning, and complexed nickel wastewater and ionic nickel wastewater were obtained.
[0061] Treatment of complexed nickel wastewater: The complexed nickel wastewater entered an ozone oxidation unit. The ozone dosage was 80 mg / L. The catalyst was a CeO2 / Al2O3 composite catalyst, and the dosage was 0.6 g / L. The reaction time was 40 min, and the reaction pH was 6.0-6.5. The ozone destroyed the structure of the complexed nickel, released Ni 2+ ions, and obtained oxidized nickel ion wastewater.
[0062] Recovery of ionic nickel wastewater: The ionic nickel copper wastewater separated by the charged nanofiltration membrane directly entered a diaphragm electrolysis unit. The cathode material was a stainless steel plate, the anode material was a coated titanium electrode, the current density was 2.8 A / dm 2 , and the electrolysis time was 70 min.

[0064] The experimental results of the embodiment: the nickel recovery rate reaches 95.8%; the purity of the recovered nickel reaches 98.5%; the nickel content of the effluent after treatment is 0.5 mg / L; and the energy consumption is 4.1 kWh / kg-Ni.
[0065] Comparative Example 1: omitting the hydrogen peroxide oxidation step in pretreatment
[0066] The same wastewater (Ni 2+ concentration 450 mg / L) as in Example 2 is used, but the hydrogen peroxide oxidation step in pretreatment is omitted, and the charged nanofiltration membrane is directly used for separation. The treatment conditions are: only the pH is adjusted to 5.5±0.2, without adding hydrogen peroxide, and directly entering the nanofiltration membrane separation system. The experimental results are: the nickel recovery rate is 76.3% (decreased by 19.5% compared with Example 2). The purity of the recovered nickel is 88.2% (decreased by 10.3% compared with Example 2). The nickel content of the effluent is 1.8 mg / L (increased by 1.3 mg / L compared with Example 2). The energy consumption is 5.2 kWh / kg-Ni (increased by 26.8% compared with Example 2). The membrane is seriously polluted, needs to be cleaned frequently, and the operation cycle is shortened to 24 hours.
[0067] Comparative Example 2: omitting the ozone oxidation step
[0068] The same pretreatment and nanofiltration membrane separation as in Example 2 are used, but the ozone oxidation treatment of the complex nickel wastewater is omitted, and direct electrolysis recovery is performed. The treatment conditions are: the concentrated solution of the complex nickel wastewater does not undergo ozone oxidation treatment, and directly enters the diaphragm electrolysis unit. The experimental results are: the nickel recovery rate is 58.7% (decreased by 37.1% compared with Example 2). The purity of the recovered nickel is 82.4% (decreased by 16.1% compared with Example 2). The nickel content of the effluent is 3.2 mg / L (increased by 2.7 mg / L compared with Example 2). The energy consumption is 6.8 kWh / kg-Ni (increased by 65.9% compared with Example 2). The complex nickel is difficult to be electrolytically separated, and a large amount of nickel ions remain in the wastewater.
[0069] Comparative Example 3: changing key operation parameters
[0070] (1) reducing the ozone dosage
[0071] The ozone dosage was reduced from 80 mg / L to 40 mg / L, and other conditions were the same as in Example 2. Experimental results: nickel recovery rate: 81.2% (14.6% lower than Example 2). Purity of recovered nickel: 91.3% (7.2% lower than Example 2). Nickel content in effluent: 1.1 mg / L (0.6 mg / L higher than Example 2). Energy consumption: 4.8 kWh / kg-Ni (17.1% higher than Example 2).
[0072] (2) Reducing current density
[0073] The current density was reduced from 2.8 A / dm 2 to 1.5 A / dm 2 , and other conditions were the same as in Example 2.
[0074] Experimental results: nickel recovery rate: 72.4% (23.4% lower than Example 2). Purity of recovered nickel: 94.1% (4.4% lower than Example 2). Nickel content in effluent: 1.6 mg / L (1.1 mg / L higher than Example 2). Energy consumption: 3.2 kWh / kg-Ni (although the unit energy consumption decreased, the overall economic benefit decreased significantly due to the significant decrease in recovery rate).
[0075] (3) Not using catalyst
[0076] CeO2 / Al2O3 composite catalyst was not added during ozone oxidation, and other conditions were the same as in Example 2. Experimental results: nickel recovery rate: 68.9% (26.9% lower than Example 2). Purity of recovered nickel: 89.7% (8.8% lower than Example 2). Nickel content in effluent: 2.3 mg / L (1.8 mg / L higher than Example 2). Energy consumption: 5.7 kWh / kg-Ni (39.0% higher than Example 2).
[0077] Comparative Example 4: Changing nanofiltration membrane operating pressure
[0078] The nanofiltration membrane operating pressure was adjusted from 0.7 to 0.9 MPa to 0.4 to 0.5 MPa, and other conditions were the same as in Example 2. Experimental results: nickel recovery rate: 84.3% (11.5% lower than Example 2). Purity of recovered nickel: 96.8% (1.7% lower than Example 2). Nickel content in effluent: 0.8 mg / L (0.3 mg / L higher than Example 2). Energy consumption: 4.6 kWh / kg-Ni (12.2% higher than Example 2). Membrane flux decreased significantly, and treatment efficiency decreased.
[0079] It can be concluded from the above comparative examples that omitting the pretreatment oxidation step will cause the membrane pollution to be intensified and the recovery efficiency to be significantly reduced; omitting the ozone oxidation step will make the complex state nickel unable to be effectively separated, and seriously affect the overall recovery effect; reducing the key operation parameters (such as ozone dosage, current density, operating pressure) will cause the nickel recovery rate and purity to be reduced; and not using the catalyst will significantly affect the oxidation and decomposition effect of the complex.

The method provided by the present application realizes the organic combination of electroless plating wastewater treatment and resource recovery, conforms to the concept of circular economy, and has a broad industrialization prospect.
[0081] Although the above examples have made a detailed description of the present application, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments, and other embodiments can be obtained under the premise of no creativity according to the present embodiments, and these embodiments all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
