The invention belongs to the technical field of
environmental engineering, and particularly relates to a gradient enrichment and separation treatment method for heavy
metal wastewater. The method comprises the following steps: mixing the heavy
metal wastewater with pyrosulfite and water-soluble
ferric salt, and adding alkali to adjust the pH value to 5-5.5 to obtain
chromium slag and first treated
wastewater; mixing the first treated wastewater with a
thiourea solution, and adding alkali to adjust the pH value to 6.2-6.8 to obtain
copper slag and second treated wastewater; mixing the second treated wastewater with a
carbonate solution, and adding alkali to adjust the pH value to 8.5-9 to obtain
zinc slag and third treated wastewater; and mixing the third treated wastewater with the
sludge seed crystal, and sequentially carrying out first-stage alkali addition to control the pH value to be 9.5-10 and second-stage alkali addition to control the pH value to be 11-11.5 to obtain
nickel slag. According to the method, efficient separation of multiple metals is realized, and each
metal forms a single high-purity precipitate, so that subsequent
resource utilization is facilitated. A large amount of coagulant does not need to be added, and
economic benefits are improved.
