Description

A kind of process technique of integrative electroplating waste
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of useless water purification technique, particularly to the process technique of a kind of integrative electroplating waste.
Background technology
Electroplating industry is indispensable link in Chinese national economy, relates to the every field such as national defence, industry, life, The phenomenon that demand is big also result in the excessive development of electroplating industry equally, and electroplating facility is built in a large number.Electroplating facility (or car Between) waste water discharged and waste liquid, such as plating piece washings, useless tank liquor, component cooling water and the flushing surface water etc..Due to plating relatively Many, technique is loaded down with trivial details, and its water quality is complicated, and composition is wayward, and electroplating wastewater mainly contains the weights such as chromium, cadmium, nickel, copper, zinc, gold, silver Metal ion and cyanide etc., these electroplating wastewaters belong to carcinogenic, teratogenesis, mutagenic extremely toxic substance, to the mankind and other lifes The living environment of thing all causes harm greatly, and therefore, the purified treatment of electroplating wastewater is extremely urgent.
In prior art, electroplating wastewater mainly has two classes: the first kind is electroplating wastewater of chromium, the chromium in this electroplating wastewater Ion concentration is higher;Equations of The Second Kind is cyanide-containing electroplating water, and the cyanide ion concentration in such electroplating wastewater is higher.At present, generally Use chemical precipitation method that electroplating wastewater is made purified treatment, the most first by electroplating wastewater classification shunting, then chemical agent is added extremely In different types of electroplating wastewater, the heavy metal ion in dissolved state is made in water to be changed into water-fast heavy metal chemical combination Thing, the method being then removed by precipitation, there is following defect in the method technique:
One, complex process, not only needs during pretreatment to process classification of waste shunting, and right in follow-up processing procedure The requirement of technological parameter and process environments is higher, generally requires and supernatant is carried out microwave treatment, makes technique more complicated undoubtedly Change, too increase many costs;
Two, purification efficiency is the highest, and clean-up effect is the best, it is difficult to reach the discharge standard of country's electroplating wastewater, if processing not When, environment is easily caused secondary pollution by the heavy metal in mud.
Three, input cost is high, needs more treatment process steps and processing means, and needs in processing procedure Expending great chemical agent, the heavy metal in waste water is easily wasted, process technique up to now cannot realize turning waste into wealth, Resource regeneration and the effect effectively utilized;
In view of this, the present inventor's specialized designs process technique of a kind of integrative electroplating waste, this case thus produces.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to provide the process technique of a kind of integrative electroplating waste, process technique with optimization, improve clean Changing efficiency, reduce processing cost, economize on resources waste, and realizes the treatment of wastes with processes of wastes against one another, the effect of resource recycling.
To achieve these goals, the technical solution used in the present invention is as follows:
The process technique of a kind of integrative electroplating waste, comprises the following steps:
Step 1: collect electroplating wastewater of chromium, cyanide-containing electroplating water, pretreatment liquid, burnt copper waste water and general electroplating wastewater;
Step 2: electroplating wastewater of chromium is directed respectively in pretreatment liquid and burnt copper waste water, by electroplating wastewater of chromium Chromic acid aoxidizes the complex in pretreatment liquid and burnt copper waste water respectively, more reacted waste water is directed respectively into general electroplating wastewater In, and mix in comprehensive wastewater pond;
Step 3: after complex is fully abolished, imports cyanide-containing electroplating water in comprehensive wastewater pond and mixes, obtain Integrative electroplating waste, relends the cyanide reduction remaining chromic acid of electroplating wastewater of chromium helped in cyanide-containing electroplating water;
Step 4: add alkaline solution in integrative electroplating waste, the pH value of integrative electroplating waste is adjusted to 7, obtains once Precipitate;
Step 5: after filtering the primary sedimentation thing in above-mentioned steps 4, obtain the first supernatant;
Step 6: add ferrous salt solution and hydrogen peroxide in the first supernatant, with react respectively the remaining chromic acid of removal and Cyanide;
Step 7: again add alkaline solution, is adjusted to 9-10 by the pH value of the first supernatant, obtains secondary precipitate;
Step 8: after removing the secondary precipitate in above-mentioned steps 7, obtain the second supernatant;
Step 9: the second supernatant is carried out aeration, continues aeration two hours, and the pH value of the second supernatant controls at 10- 11;
Step 10: readjustment acid-base value, makes the pH value of the second supernatant be adjusted to 7-8, makes final electroplating wastewater reach discharge Standard.
In described step 2, cyanide and chromic acid reaction generate hydrocyanic acid, remove hydrocyanic acid by sodium hypochlorite.
In described step 2, sodium hypochlorite quickly removes hydrocyanic acid in the way of spray.
In described step 4, alkaline solution is Calx or sodium hydroxide.
In described step 7, alkaline solution is Calx or sodium hydroxide.
In described step 3, if the cyanide in cyanide-containing electroplating water is not enough, give up by pyrosulfurous acid sodium reduction chromium containing electroplating The chromic acid of water, obtains the two reacted precipitate.
After using such scheme, the invention has the beneficial effects as follows:
One, present invention optimizes the process technique of electroplating wastewater, both without needing when pretreatment classification of waste is shunted Process, without the technological parameter excessively considered in subsequent processes and process environments, replace traditional microwave processes, Step is less, and technique is simple, remarkably productive;
Two, the present invention improves purification efficiency, strengthens clean-up effect, has reached the discharge standard of national electroplating wastewater, Reduce the secondary pollution to environment;
Three, the present invention greatly reduces input cost, not only without more treatment process steps and processing means, also without Microwave processes need to be used, and without expending too much chemical agent in processing procedure, with electroplating wastewater as technique In raw material, turn waste into wealth, both protected environment, saved again resource, there is obvious economy and social environment benefit, be Cleaning production, environmental conservation and the great innovation of utilization of resources technology.
Below in conjunction with detailed description of the invention, the present invention will be further described.
Detailed description of the invention
