[0043] Example 1
[0044] Selenium-containing wastewater is pumped into a primary stirred tank at a volume of 60%–70% of the tank's capacity. The selenium concentration in the wastewater is measured to be Se = 0.32 g / L. Based on this concentration, a certain amount of sodium sulfite, a primary reducing agent, is added. The mixture is stirred for 30–40 minutes to reduce hexavalent selenium in the wastewater to tetravalent selenium. In this embodiment, the primary and secondary stirred tanks share the same reactor. Iron powder, a secondary reducing agent, is added to the primary stirred tank, and the mixture is stirred for 1–1.5 hours to further remove tetravalent selenium.
[0045] A redox potential detection system installed in the two-stage continuous stirred tank stops the reaction when the endpoint potential reaches approximately 225mV. A magnetic recovery system is then activated to recover residual iron powder from the wastewater using magnetism. The wastewater is then pumped to a multi-media filter for solid-liquid separation to obtain selenium-removed wastewater. ICP analysis shows that the selenium concentration in the treated wastewater is ≤0.2mg / L, with a selenium removal rate of 99.9%, achieving ultra-low discharge of selenium-treated wastewater.

[0047] Selenium-containing wastewater is first pumped into a primary continuous stirred tank at a flow rate of 65%–75% of the tank's volume. The selenium concentration in the wastewater is measured to be Se = 1.14 g / L. Based on this concentration, a certain amount of sodium sulfite, a primary reducing agent, is added, and the mixture is stirred for 20–40 minutes to reduce hexavalent selenium in the wastewater to tetravalent selenium. Then, iron powder, a secondary reducing agent, is added to a secondary continuous stirred tank, and the mixture is stirred for 1–1.5 hours to further remove tetravalent selenium.
[0048] A redox potential detection system installed in the two-stage continuous stirred tank stops the reaction when the endpoint potential reaches approximately 250mV. A magnetic recovery system is then activated to recover residual iron powder from the wastewater using magnetism. The wastewater is then pumped to a multi-media filter for solid-liquid separation to obtain selenium-removed wastewater. ICP analysis shows that the selenium concentration in the treated wastewater is ≤0.2mg / L, with a selenium removal rate of 99.9%, achieving ultra-low discharge of selenium-treated wastewater.
