The invention relates to a selective separation 
recovery technology of heavy 
metal in 
electroplating sludge containing 
chromium. The selective separation 
recovery technology of the heavy 
metal in theelectroplating 
sludge containing the 
chromium specifically comprises the steps that (1) the 
sludge containing the 
chromium and 
carbonate are subjected to mix 
roasting under a certain temperature, 
andiron sources are supplemented appropriately; (2) 
hydrothermal reaction is carried out on a 
solid obtained in the step (1) and an alkaline mineralizing agent; (3) after 
solid-liquid separation is carried out on turbid liquid obtained in the step (2) by using magnetic force, a diluted acid solution (pH is 3.5-5.0) is added into the 
solid for 
calcium removal, and concentration and 
crystallization arecarried out for recovering the chromium after liquid dezincification; and (4) after the 
magnetic separation of the turbid liquid in the step (3) is carried out, mixed reaction is carried out on the solid and a concentrated acid solution (pH is 2-3.5); and after the 
magnetic separation of the obtained turbid liquid is carried out, the solid is a 
nickel ferrite product, and 
copper is recovered in aliquid mode. According to the selective separation 
recovery technology of the heavy 
metal in the 
electroplating sludge containing the chromium, 
doping regulation and control of metal elements in thesludge in 
spinel class materials (M (II) N (III) 2O4 (M=Ni, Cu, Zn, Ca; N=Cr, Fe, Al)) is realized through comprehensive regulation and control of the 
roasting temperature and a hydrothermal mineralizing agent, so that the selective separation recovery technology of the heavy metal is realized. Meanwhile, after the sludge is subjected to a 
roasting / hydrothermal combined technology, the solid has higher magnetic force, and the difficulty of solid-liquid separation in the technology is reduced.
