Electroplating generates wastewater. The quality of electroplating wastewater is complex, and its composition is difficult to control. It contains heavy metal ions such as chromium, cadmium, nickel, copper, zinc, gold, and silver, as well as cyanides, some of which are highly toxic substances that are carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] This invention provides a copper plating wastewater treatment system to solve the technical problem of low copper plating wastewater recovery efficiency in the prior art.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 The present invention discloses a copper electroplating wastewater treatment system, comprising a pretreatment module, an electro-desalination module, and a tailings treatment module connected in sequence. The pretreatment module includes a storage tank 1 and a first sedimentation tank 2. The storage tank 1 is connected to a wastewater outlet, and the outlet of the storage tank 1 is connected to the first sedimentation tank 2. The first sedimentation tank 2 is connected to a first pH adjustment component 3. The electro-desalination module includes an electrodialysis device 4 and an electrolysis device 5. The supernatant outlet of the first sedimentation tank 2 is connected to the inlet of the electrodialysis device 4. The electrodialysis device 4 is used for preliminary purification of copper ions from the solution in the first sedimentation tank 2. The sludge discharge outlet of the first sedimentation tank 2 is connected to the sludge collection tank 6 of the tailings treatment module. The outlet of the electrodialysis device 4 is connected to the electrolysis device 5. The electrolysis device 5 is used for electrolysis of the liquid from the electrodialysis device 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first sedimentation tank 2 is connected to a first pH adjustment component 3, which uses soda ash or liquid alkali solution to adjust the pH of the copper plating wastewater to 4-5, thereby reducing the concentration of metal ions (Zn) in the copper plating wastewater. 2+ Al 3+ Fe 3+ Cr 3+ (etc.) to form corresponding hydroxide precipitates, while copper is basically not lost; after the reaction, the suspension is filtered and separated in the first sedimentation tank 2 to obtain supernatant and combined sludge; then the supernatant in the first sedimentation tank 2 is discharged into the electrodialysis equipment 4 for dialysis to concentrate the copper concentration of the supernatant to about 30 g / L, and then the concentrated supernatant is discharged into the electrolysis equipment 5 for electrolysis. During the electrolysis process, an appropriate amount of bone glue or guar gum is added to the solution periodically, and a reducing agent is added to reduce the residual chlorine generated by electrodeposition to avoid the residual chlorine oxidizing and damaging the anode; when the copper concentration in the solution is... When the concentration is below 5 g / L, electrolysis is stopped, the lean solution is discharged, and fresh solution is added. Because a pretreatment module and electrodialysis equipment 4 are set up before electrolysis, the pH value of the acid copper plating wastewater is adjusted during the pretreatment stage. This allows other metal ions to form corresponding hydroxide precipitates without losing copper in the acid copper plating wastewater, thereby improving the purity of the copper generated by subsequent electrolysis. The electrodialysis equipment 4 can purify the supernatant after precipitation, further improving the purity of the copper generated by electrolysis, thus effectively improving the recovery efficiency of acid copper wastewater.

[0031] In this embodiment, the electro-desalination module also includes a reverse osmosis unit 7 connected in series between the electrodialysis unit 4 and the electrolysis unit 5. The inlet of the reverse osmosis unit 7 is connected to the outlet of the electrodialysis unit 4, and the outlet of the reverse osmosis unit 7 is connected to the inlet of the electrolysis unit 5. The reverse osmosis unit 7 is used to perform secondary purification of copper ions in the solution from the electrodialysis unit 4. At the same time, the fresh water produced by the reverse osmosis unit 7 is discharged to the fresh water storage tank 14 of the tailings treatment module, which can be used for electroplating operations or other production operations.

[0032] The tailings processing module in this embodiment also includes a second sedimentation tank 8 and a filter tank 9. The second sedimentation tank 8 is connected to the lean liquid outlet of the electrolysis equipment 5. A second pH adjustment component 10 is connected inside the second sedimentation tank 8. The supernatant outlet of the second sedimentation tank 8 is connected to the filter tank 9, which is used to filter the supernatant from the second sedimentation tank 8. During the operation of the electrolysis equipment 5, the copper concentration in the solution gradually decreases, forming a lean liquid with a copper concentration of less than 5 g / L. After the lean liquid is discharged into the second sedimentation tank 8, soda ash or liquid alkali is added to the lean liquid through the second pH adjustment component 10 to adjust the pH of the lean liquid to 9-10, so that the copper ions in the lean liquid form corresponding hydroxide precipitates. After the reaction is completed, a suspension is formed in the second sedimentation tank 8. The turbid liquid is discharged into the filter tank 9 for filtration, resulting in a supernatant containing less than 0.5 ppm of copper and a copper precipitate. The copper hydroxide precipitate is returned to the electrolysis equipment 5 for electrolysis, and the supernatant is discharged into the tailings treatment module for further processing. The tailings treatment module also includes an evaporation device 11, which is connected to the filter tank 9. The evaporation device 11 is used to evaporate and crystallize the filtrate from the filter tank 9. Because the acid copper electroplating wastewater contains a large amount of sulfate ions, a large amount of sodium ions are introduced during the subsequent pH adjustment process. Sodium sulfate crystals can be obtained by evaporation and crystallization. The byproduct is condensate, which is discharged into the freshwater storage tank 14 of the tailings treatment module.

[0033] In this embodiment, the electrolysis device 5 is a cyclone electrowinning device, which is connected to a colloidal storage tank 12 and a reducing agent storage tank 13. The colloidal storage tank 12 is used to replenish the solution in the cyclone electrowinning device with colloidal material, and the reducing agent storage tank 13 is used to replenish the solution in the cyclone electrowinning device with reducing agent. The colloidal material is bone glue or guar gum, and the reducing agent is sodium sulfite or sodium metabisulfite. The purpose of using a cyclone electrowinning device is to improve the recovery efficiency of metallic copper. A relatively mature cyclone electrowinning device in the prior art can be used for the operation. At the same time, the anode material of the cyclone electrowinning device is titanium coated lead dioxide. In addition, the anode material can also be titanium coated ruthenium iridium, titanium coated tantalum iridium, etc. The cathode material of the cyclone electrowinning device is foamed copper. Because foamed copper has a huge surface area, it can reduce the actual current density during the electrowinning process, and has the advantages of high current efficiency, few side reactions, and dense metallic copper growth on the surface. In addition, the cathode material can also be 316 stainless steel sheet, titanium sheet, etc., without specific limitations.

[0034] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
