The invention discloses a
wastewater treatment method for extracting iron and
copper from
copper hydrometallurgy raffinate. The method comprises the following steps: adding an alkaline solution into a
copper hydrometallurgy raffinate to enable
ferric iron to form
ferric hydroxide precipitate, carrying out
solid-liquid separation and washing, and calcining the precipitate to obtain an
iron oxide red product;
iron powder is added into the liquid, copper ions are reduced into
metal copper, and
solid-liquid separation is carried out on the
metal copper and the remaining
iron powder through
precipitation;
solid circulation is used for reducing
iron powder, then copper
powder purification is conducted, and pure copper
powder is obtained; and adding an alkaline substance into the liquid to adjust the pH to be neutral, carrying out solid-liquid separation, discharging clear water reaching the standard, and carrying out
sludge dewatering treatment. After the iron in the
wastewater is utilized by the method, the alkali required by the
neutralization reaction is obviously reduced, and the alkali consumption of
lime is reduced by more than 2 / 3; the waste residue amount is reduced by about 70%, and the
water quality is stable and reaches the standard for
discharge. Iron and copper in the
raffinate are recycled,
iron oxide red and copper
powder products are produced, remarkable
economic benefits are brought, and unification of environmental benefits and
economic benefits is achieved.
