Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heavy metal removal from acidic wastewater, and specifically, to a system for efficiently removing heavy metals from copper smelting contaminated acidic wastewater. Background Art
[0002] High-temperature smelting flue gas enters the sulfuric acid purification system for purification treatment, and contacts with dilute acid countercurrently and collides violently in the high-efficiency scrubber to form a liquid film foam area. In the foam area, most of the dust, As 2 O 3 , heavy metals and other impurities are intercepted by the liquid film and collected into the purified circulating dilute acid. When the content of As 2 O 3 in the dilute acid reaches saturation, it is easy to precipitate from the dilute acid. Once the As 2 O 3 crystal precipitates and deposits on the surface of the equipment, it will cause problems such as a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient and pipeline blockage, thus affecting normal production. To ensure the normal operation of the equipment, the arsenic content in the dilute acid must be strictly controlled. Therefore, a certain amount of dilute acid will be continuously discharged, which is the main source of contaminated acid. This part of the contaminated acid has a high arsenic content and is difficult to utilize, and must be treated.
[0003] The contaminated acidic wastewater discharged from the sulfuric acid production process contains about 1-8% of H 2 SO 4 , and also contains heavy metals such as As and Cu. Therefore, a suitable treatment process must be adopted to avoid environmental pollution caused by wastewater discharge.
[0004] Common methods for treating contaminated acidic wastewater include precipitation method, ion exchange adsorption method, extraction method, electrodialysis method, oxidation method, electrocatalysis method, etc. These methods often add a large amount of chemicals, resulting in an increase in the overall wastewater treatment cost. At the same time, the removal effect of heavy metal ions is not good, and it is easy to cause fouling and paralysis of the backend system, affecting the process of wastewater treatment. At the same time, the traditional method of removing heavy metals by sulfidation is prone to the generation of waste salts, which requires additional treatment and increases the cost.
[0005] Therefore, developing a method that can efficiently remove heavy metals is an urgent problem to be solved at present, which can ultimately enable the sustainable development of the entire copper smelting industry. Summary of the Utility Model
