  Next, the waste water treatment method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  Chlorine bypass dust is supplied to the pretreatment facility 4 and mixed with water to produce a slurry, and then a sulfiding agent and sulfuric acid are added to produce lead sulfide and calcium sulfate. Next, a hydrophobizing agent as a collecting agent and a foaming agent are added to the slurry.

  Next, the slurry S1 from the pretreatment facility 4 is supplied to the flotation beneficiation facility 5, and bubbles are generated in the flotation beneficiation facility 5, and lead sulfide in the slurry S1 is adhered to the bubbles. Thereafter, the air bubbles floating together with the lead sulfide are recovered, and the recovered froth F is supplied to the solid-liquid separator 6. The calcium sulfate contained in the slurry S1 settles without adhering to the bubbles and is supplied to the solid-liquid separator 7 together with the tail T.

  Next, the solid-liquid separator 6 performs solid-liquid separation of the froth F from the flotation equipment 5 to recover lead sulfide. Since the dehydrated lead sulfide has a low content of components other than lead sulfide, it is reused as a non-ferrous refining raw material by Yamamoto reduction.

  At the same time, the tail T from the flotation equipment 5 is solid-liquid separated by the solid-liquid separator 7 and calcium sulfate is recovered as gypsum. The collected gypsum is reused by adding it to a cement mill or the like.

  Next, the filtrate W3 of the solid-liquid separators 6 and 7 is supplied to the slurry tank 11, and in the slurry tank 11, an alkaline agent such as slaked lime slurry is added to the filtrate W3 to adjust the pH of the filtrate W3. . The pH of the filtrate W3 at this time is preferably adjusted to 10-12.

  Next, the pH-adjusted slurry S <b> 2 is supplied to the filter press 12, and solid-liquid separation is performed by the filter press 12. Then, the slurry S2 is separated into the filtrate W4 and the cake C3, and the separated cake C3 is recovered.

Thereafter, an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide is added to the filtrate W5 whose pH has been adjusted, and the organic compound dissolved in the filtrate W5 is oxidized and decomposed. At this time, for example, when 35% hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidizing agent, the amount added is 0.5 to 2 ml / l with respect to 1 liter of the filtrate W5 in consideration of the chemical cost and the like. Is preferred.

  Finally, caustic soda (NaOH) is added to the filtrate W5 in which the organic compound has been decomposed, and the pH of the filtrate W5 is adjusted to the neutral range of 6-8. The pH-adjusted filtrate W6 can be discharged into the sewer.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the filtrate W3 discharged from the lead recovery facility 2 is subjected to heavy metal removal treatment to remove heavy metals, and then to the filtrate W5 from which heavy metals have been removed. In order to decompose the organic compound in the filtrate W5 by adding an oxidizing agent, it is possible to remove heavy metals and organic compounds contained in the flotation wastewater W3 when the chlorine bypass dust is treated. It is possible to make it harmless to a state where it can be discharged.

  In the above embodiment, the precipitated heavy metals are removed after adding the alkaline agent to the filtrate W3. However, when the concentration of heavy metals in the filtrate W3 is low, these operations are replaced. Heavy metals can be adsorbed and removed by the chelate resin.

Further, when the filtrate W3 is treated, a flocculant such as ferric chloride (FeCl ₃ ) or sulfate band (aluminum sulfate, Al ₂ (SO ₄ ) ₃ ) or a liquid chelate generally used in wastewater treatment. An agent can also be used.

  Next, a second embodiment of the system to which the wastewater treatment method according to the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, in the figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the component same as the waste water treatment system 1 shown in FIG. 1, and the description is abbreviate | omitted. The lead recovery facility is the same as the lead recovery facility 2 of FIG.

  The waste water treatment system 20 shown in FIG. 2 has a basic configuration substantially the same as that of the waste water treatment system 1 shown in FIG. 1, and is different in that the waste water treatment facility 3 includes an adjustment tank 21.

The adjustment tank 21 is arranged on the upstream side of the slurry tank 11 and is provided for removing selenium contained in the filtrate W3 from the solid-liquid separators 6 and 7 (see FIG. 1). In the adjustment tank 21, first, hydrochloric acid is added to the filtrate W3 to adjust the pH of the filtrate W3 to 4 or less, and then a reducing agent is added to the filtrate W3 whose liquidity has been adjusted. The selenium compound in the inside is reduced to produce a poorly soluble selenium compound. Here, ferrous chloride (FeCl ₂ ), ferrous sulfate (FeSO ₄ ), sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), or the like can be used as the reducing agent.

  The produced poorly soluble selenium compound is separated from the slurry S2 by solid-liquid separation in the filter press 12, and thereby selenium contained in the flotation wastewater W3 is removed. The pH of the slurry S2 in the slurry tank 11 is preferably adjusted to 8 to 12, preferably 8 to 10.

  According to the wastewater treatment system 20, selenium contained in the flotation wastewater W3 when chlorine bypass dust is treated can be removed, and even if the wastewater W3 contains a large amount of selenium, Can be reduced below the discharge standard value.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.

  Using the waste water treatment system 1 of FIG. 1, chlorine bypass dust was treated while changing the pH of the slurry S2 in the slurry tank 11 in the range of 8 to 12, and the filtrate W4 of the filter press 12 at that time was analyzed. . In addition, the filtrate W3 upstream of the slurry tank 11 was also analyzed.

  The analysis results are shown in Table 1. Here, each numerical value in Table 1 indicates the amount of heavy metals per liter of solution, and the unit is mg / l. In Table 1, “ND” indicates that the heavy metal to be detected was not detected.

  As shown in Table 1, when the pH of the slurry S2 is adjusted to 10 to 11, no heavy metals are detected, and the heavy metals in the filtrate W3 supplied to the slurry tank 11 are reliably removed. It turns out that you can. In addition, when the pH of the slurry S2 was adjusted to 12, iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) were detected, but both are well below the discharge standard value and the filtrate W3 can be sufficiently purified. I understood. On the other hand, when the pH was adjusted to 8-9, the cadmium (Cd) content exceeded the discharge standard value, and the filtrate W3 could not be rendered harmless to a state where it could be discharged.

  Next, chlorine bypass dust having a high selenium content is treated using the wastewater treatment system 20 of FIG. 2, and the filtrate W3 upstream of the slurry tank 11 and the filtrate W6 discharged from the organic matter treatment tank 16 are obtained. Each was analyzed. Moreover, in the organic substance processing tank 16, the oxidizing agent was added, the organic compound was oxidized, and the iodine consumption in the filtrate W6 was measured.

  Here, the pH of the slurry S2 in the slurry tank 11 was adjusted to 9, and the pH of the filtrate W5 in the organic matter treatment tank 16 was adjusted to 3. Further, hydrogen peroxide water was used as an oxidizing agent in the organic matter treatment tank 16. The analysis results of the filtrates W3 and W6 are shown in Table 2, and the measurement results of iodine consumption are shown in Table 3. In addition, the unit of the analysis value etc. in both tables is mg / l.

  As shown in Table 2, lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and selenium (Se) were detected in the filtrate W6 after the oxidation treatment, and all of them were 1/10 or less of the discharge standard value. It was confirmed that the amount of the waste water W3 from the lead recovery facility 2 can be made harmless by a small amount.

  Further, as shown in Table 3, it was confirmed that the iodine consumption in the filtrate W6 after the oxidation treatment was significantly lower than the legal standard value and there was no problem from the environmental aspect.

  Next, the organic compound in the filtrate W5 was processed using the wastewater treatment system 20 of FIG. 2 while adjusting the amount of the oxidizing agent. Here, 35% hydrogen peroxide water was used as the oxidizing agent. The relationship between the addition amount of 35% hydrogen peroxide water and the iodine consumption amount in the waste water W6 is shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when 35% hydrogen peroxide solution is not used, the iodine consumption is about 1100 mg / l, whereas to make the iodine consumption 0 mg / l, about 1.3 ml / L of 35% hydrogen peroxide solution was found to be required. Taking into account the release standard value of iodine consumption, it was found that an addition amount of 35% hydrogen peroxide water of 0.7 ml / l or more is preferable. Each value in FIG. 3 varies depending on the chlorine bypass dust to be treated and the conditions of the flotation treatment, etc., and the figure shows an optimum collecting agent for efficiently recovering lead from a certain chlorine bypass dust. It is the test example about the waste_water | drain when it is set as the addition amount of a foaming agent.
