METAL TREATMENT BY HYDROXIDE PRECIPITATION Metals + Hydroxides metal Hydroxides. COMMON METHOD OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT FOR METAL REMOVAL - Metal hydroxide
Polymer Metal hydroxide trapped in polymer floc
Settled metal hydroxide
Inlet
Trapped solids
Filter media (sand)
Effluent
Sludge for dewatering
Plating wastewater - Chromium reduction
• Wastewater containing hazardous hexavalent chromium is treated with chemical reduction process. Ph is reduced to 3.0 or less and Sulfur dioxide or SMBS or Sodium bisulfite or ferrous sulfate is added to reduce hexavalent chromium to trivalent form.
• A retention time of 45 minutes should be maintained to ensure adequate mixing and reaction with SO2 or other chemicals. This water then passed for next process of metal removal.

PH adjustment to 2-3 by adding Acid
SMBS solution
Trivalent Chromium.
Plating wastewater –cyanide oxidation
• Electroplating industry using cyanide in process can treat this before metal treatment by alkaline oxidation
• Chlorine and caustic is added for oxidation of cyanide to cyanates.
• In next tank again chlorine is added to convert cyanate to CO2 & nitrogen with Detention time of 45 minutes

Caustic for pH 9.5 to 10.0

Cyanates Effluent for metal treatment
Metal treatment
Simply adjusting pH to 8.6 can effectively precipitate all the metals. Since all metals display similar effect, it is clear that pH adjustment is critical in case
of metal removal.
Metal solubility are on the basis of theoretical wastewater, but in actual number varies by presence of cyanide and ammonia in wastewater, which can inhibit the removal of heavy metal from wastewater. So in general pH
should be adjusted to 9.0

Dosage calculation after Jar Test
• Chemical dosages- ml of chemical X conc. X 10 ppm dosage
liter of sample
• Kg of chemical/day = ppm dosage x flow (m3/day)
Volume of solution Liters /day = kg of chemical / % of solution
• Per hrs. dosage(liters/hr) = solution Liters/ No. of hrs. dosage required
• Pump capacity (LPH) = per hrs dosage + 10 % extra capacity .

Filtration

• Types of Filtration • Microfiltration • How it works?
• Ultrafiltration • How it works?
• Microfiltration vs. Ultrafiltration
Types of Filtration
2 Examples:
1. Cross Flow
2. Dead End Flow
Type 1: Cross Filtration
Flow parallel to membrane surface
Does not cause buildup, therefore does not suffer from reduced flow overtime
F = feed; M = membrane; P = permeate;
R = retentate (components that do NOT pass through the membrane)
Type 2: Dead End Flow
Flow perpendicular to membrane surface
Causes build up of filter cake on membrane
F = feed; M = membrane; P = permeate (components that pass through membrane)
Microfiltration
Separates soluble contaminants remaining within the supernatant
Supernatant may include: Other proteins
Bio-molecules
Un-used growth media
How does Microfiltration work?
Pressure driven process
Separates: Components in a solution or
suspension based on molecular size
Particles size range:
10mm (starches) to aprx. 0.04mm (DNA, Viruses, and globular proteins)
Ultrafiltration
Usually used to further separate any contaminants able to pass through the microfiltration membrane using a pressure gradient
How does Ultrafiltration work?
Separates:
Particle size range: 0.1mm to 0.001mm
Usually based on molecular weight
Typical range: 200 to 300,000 g/mole
Microfiltration vs. Ultrafiltration
Microfiltration:
Proteins act as the permeate
Ultrafiltration
Proteins act as the retentate
Pradeep Rathy
Microfiltration vs. Ultrafiltration
Microfiltration: Separates larger particles
For example-
Colloids
Fat globules
Cells
Located upstream to reduce load and fouling capacity on ultrafiltration membrane downstream
Ultrafiltration Separates smaller particles
For example-
Macromolecules
However, processes are basically identical
