The invention discloses a process for treating
nickel wastewater containing
nickel acetate cleaning water and
nickel acetate concentrated water, which comprises the following steps: S1, filtering nickel
wastewater, S2, carrying out primary concentration treatment, S3, carrying out secondary concentration treatment, S4, treating by a
sodium metaaluminate method, S5, carrying out collaborative
filtration treatment, and S6, discharging RO (
Reverse Osmosis)
produced water up to the standard. The method comprises the following steps: primarily enriching
nickel ions by adopting primary nickel concentration treatment and secondary nickel concentration treatment, adding a
sodium metaaluminate solution into a
mixed solution, enabling the pH value of the
mixed solution to be 8-12, enabling the
nickel ions to react with hydroxyl ions to generate a nickel
hydroxide precipitate, adding a
sulfuric acid solution to adjust the pH value of the
mixed solution back to 6.5-7.5, hydrolyzing
sodium metaaluminate to generate an aluminum
hydroxide precipitate, and carrying out secondary nickel concentration treatment on the aluminum
hydroxide precipitate; aluminum hydroxide adsorbs nickel hydroxide to form a composite precipitate, aluminum ions and
nickel ions are subjected to a competitive complexation reaction, and a flocculating agent is added into a mixed solution to form a flocculent precipitate, so that the reaction time is short, the
nickel content in the nickel
sludge can be greatly increased, the
treatment period can be shortened, and the operation cost can be reduced.
