The invention relates to a method for recovering
potassium nitrate from
anthraquinone dye alkali
wastewater and belongs to the technical field of
recovery and recycle of printing and
dyeing wastewater. The method comprises the following steps of adding
nitric acid into collected alkali
wastewater, carrying out primary acidification with stirring for primary acidification time of 0.5-12h, when a solution pH value is in a range of 1-4, adding an adsorbent, a neutral flocculating agent or an acidic flocculating agent into the solution so that a
precipitation reaction occurs, filtering the
reaction product, adding
nitric acid into the solution, carrying out secondary acidification with stirring for secondary acidification time of 0-8h, when a solution pH value is in a range of 3-5h, adding an adsorbent, a neutral flocculating agent or an acidic flocculating agent into the solution so that a
precipitation reaction occurs, filtering the
reaction product, and carrying out HNO3 oxidation, decoloring, condensation and salt-leaching so that a qualified industrial salt is obtained. The method is used for
anthraquinone dye alkali wastewater, can realize
recovery of a large amount of
potassium nitrate, can remove organic matters in wastewater, can reduce a COD value of the wastewater, and can recover and recycle
potassium nitrate.
