The present invention relates to a method for recovering valuable materials from waste. The method for recovering valuable materials from waste comprises the steps of: (a) pulverizing waste, which is generated from an
evaporator or a crystallizer among equipment of a
zero liquid discharge process for desulfurization
wastewater, and then injecting same into a
dissolution tank so as to dissolve same in a
solvent and separating same into a
gypsum (CaSO4) precipitate and a supernatant from which the
gypsum has been removed; (b) dissolving, in a desulfurization tank,
barium chloride (BaCl2) in the supernatant from which the
gypsum has been removed, and separating same into a
barium sulfate (BaSO4) precipitate and a supernatant from which the
barium sulfate has been removed; (c) dissolving, in a
hydroxide tank,
sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the supernatant from which the
barium sulfate has been removed, and separating same into a
magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2 precipitate and a supernatant from which the
magnesium hydroxide has been removed; and (d) injecting, into a
salt pond, the supernatant from which the
magnesium hydroxide has been removed, so as to recover
sodium chloride (NaOH).
