A Process for Electrolytically Detoxifying or - Regenerating an Aqueous Solution Containing Cyanide and an Apparatus for Carrying out the Process The invention relates to a process for electrolytically detoxifying or regenerating 5 an aqueous solution containing cyanide, wherein cyanide is converted by means of anodic oxidation into carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen and/or ammonia, also an apparatus for carrying out the process.
German Patent Application DE-OS 26 00 084 describes the electrochemical treatment of dilute metal cyanide solutions such as occur, for example, in the 10 forrn of washing solutions in electroplating installations; in the described process, cyanide is anodically oxidized while rnetal is simultaneously cathodically deposited. The anode and cathoda are designed as reticulate structures or wire-mesh baskets, and both electrodss may be made from platinum-coated titanium; however, it is also possible to uss a copper cathode.
15 In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the solution to be treated contains, in addition to copper cyanide, also sodium cyanide and sodium carbonate as well as Rochelle salt.
When carrying out electrohJtic oxidation in low concentration ranges, the unsatisfactory current efficiency proves to be a problem so that, in view of the20 customarily strictwaste discharge conditions (environmental restrictions~
imposed by the authorities, it is essential to use an additional process for detoxifying low cyanide concentrations. Furthermore, high rates of srosion (=
short seMce iives) occur at the platinum coated titanium electrodes, so that in practice the process for the electrochemical oxidation of cyanide is not very 25 economical because of the high resulting costs (anode costs~.
Furthermore, German Patent DE PS 28 36 720 describes a procsss for the continuous electrolytic regeneration of a washing solution containing silver cyanide, such as occurs during electroplating processes, wherein the , , .; .: - . ~

concentration of cyanide is greatly reduced by anodic oxidation to ammonia, and at the same time the silver is deposited in spongy form on the cathode, from which it is periodically stripped and collected in a funnel arranged in thebottom of the regeneration cell and then filtered off. In accordance with one 5 embodiment of the invention, the anode possesses a coating of titanium and platlnum while the cathode is plated with purs silver, so that here again the problem of high erosion rates of platinum-coated titanium electrodes is encountsr~d, thereby resulting in high attendant costs in practice.
It is an object of the invention to propose a means by which the large volumes 10 of cyanidic waste water accumulating, in particular, in electroplating operations may be elactrochemically treated in a cost-effective manner, with high current efficiencies beirlg achieved even at low concentrations, thus rendering further detoxification processs superfluous; furthermore, the purpose is also to ~.
propose an apparatus for the electrolytic detoxification or regeneration of an 15 aqueous solution containing cyanide; and an additional goal is to increase the Iifetime of the anodes.
In general terms, ths invention provides a process for electrolytically detoxifying or regenerating an aqueous solution containing cyanide, wherein cyanide is converted by means of anodic oxidation into carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen 20 and/or ammonia, characterized in that in order to improve the efficiency of the cyanid~ conversion process a metal and/or metal ions having cathodic potential are introduced into the solution, and further characterized in that the oxidation takes place at a dimensionally stable anode.
An important advantage of the process is that, due to the high degree of 25 efficiency, a rapid reaction sequence is achieved, and thereby not only the powe~ consumption costs but also the electrode costs (coating costs) may be held relatively low.
A further advantage is obtained by recycling tne cathodically deposited metallic`
component of the cyanide compound.
