Description

  The present invention relates to a water treatment agent for efficiently removing boron, fluorine and the like in wastewater coexisting with chloride ions or the like, or wastewater coexisting with boron and fluorine, and water treatment using these water treatment agents. Regarding the method.

  Boron and fluorine are contained in industrial raw materials, sewage, waste, etc., and are also present in nature. According to a recent survey by the Ministry of the Environment, 19% of manufacturing establishments use boron compounds and 22% use fluorine compounds, and there are very many manufacturing establishments using these.

  According to the 2006 PRTR data prepared by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of the Environment, the amount of harmful substances released into public water bodies is boron and its compounds, hydrogen fluoride and its aqueous salts, manganese and its compounds, and the water solubility of zinc. It is in order of compounds. In addition, boron and its compounds account for 29%, and fluorine compounds and their water salts account for 26% of the total amount of target chemical substances discharged into public waters of 100,500t / year. Therefore, establishing a new and effective wastewater treatment technology for boron and fluorine has great social significance.

  On the other hand, environmental regulations were established in 1999 with regard to regulations on drainage of boron, fluorine, etc., referring to WHO drinking water quality guidelines and tap water quality standards. Accordingly, in 2001, new drainage standards for boron and fluorine, etc. were set as uniform drainage standards for boron and its compounds: 10 mg / L or less and fluorine and its compounds: 8 mg / L or less.

  However, in the actual operation, the economic treatment method has not been established, so for industries with technical issues, provisional drainage standards were set with a three-year deadline. As a result, provisional measures were extended until July 2007. Since July 2007, in some industries, provisional drainage standard values have been strengthened and provisional drainage standard values have been extended for operation. Based on the background described above, it is extremely socially significant to establish a technique for efficiently performing water treatment of boron fluorine.

  The flue gas desulfurization drainage in a coal-fired power plant contains boron, fluorine, arsenic, selenium, hexavalent chromium, etc. derived from coal. Among them, the concentration level of boron is several tens to several hundreds mg / L, and the discharge amount is the largest. General flue gas desulfurization waste water contains 2,000 to 8,000 mg / L of chloride ions and 3,000 to 8,000 mg / L of sulfate ions. Moreover, 10-50 mg / L of fluorine ions are contained, which makes it difficult to treat waste water as described below.

  On the other hand, recently, the consumption of coal accompanying the industrialization of China and India has increased, which has led to a surge in coal prices and the tendency to use coal with a high content of harmful substances. As a result, an increase in the concentration of boron, fluorine, selenium, etc. contained in the flue gas desulfurization wastewater is unavoidable, and development of a technique for efficiently and economically treating this is required.

  As an existing technique for performing wastewater treatment of boron, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a method of regenerating and using an ion exchange resin as a water treatment method for boron containing a large amount of chloride ions. This is because the efficiency of treating boron in wastewater containing a large amount of chloride is poor in the ordinary coagulation separation method. Patent Document 2 discloses a boron water treatment method by multistage treatment using calcium salt and aluminum salt. This is a method devised for making this improvement because the processing efficiency is poor only by one aggregation separation process.

  Patent Document 3 describes an optimal method for preparing a boron water treatment agent using aluminum sulfate and slaked lime, and Patent Document 4 forms precipitates by removing calcium and aluminum ions, removes boron, and then combines distillation and concentration. Disclosed is a method for water treatment of boron. Further, Document 5 proposes a method of increasing the processing efficiency by adding alkaline earth metal and aluminum salt to divide the processing into three steps.

  Patent Document 6 discloses a method for stably and efficiently agglomerating fluorine-containing water together with aluminum-containing water.

  As described above, various related technologies have been devised so far as water treatment methods for boron and fluorine. However, from the viewpoint of economy, the currently used treatment method is slaked lime called “sulfuric acid band method”. The mainstream is a water treatment method using aluminum sulfate and a method for improving efficiency by combining this with a multi-stage treatment, a sludge return process, and the like.

  In general, chloride ions and sulfate ions often coexist at a high concentration in wastewater from manufacturing industries, wastewater from waste disposal sites, and the like. However, in the water treatment method using slaked lime and aluminum sulfate, there is almost no inhibition by sulfate ions. However, if chloride ions or the like are contained in the waste water, there is a problem that the treatment effect is greatly reduced due to this influence. In addition, in the method using an anion adsorbent such as hydrotalcite, if sulfate ions or chloride ions coexist in the wastewater, they are also adsorbed, so that the original excellent water treatment effect is exhibited. Can not do it. Therefore, in the wastewater treatment in which coexisting ions exist as described above, at present, there is no other way but to perform a method using an ion exchange resin having a relatively high boron selectivity, but this treatment cost is very expensive.

  In addition, in wastewater in which boron and fluorine coexist, the selectivity of fluorine is larger than that of boron, so that it is difficult to remove boron to a low concentration. Thus, an economical treatment technique has not yet been established for the treatment of boron in wastewater accompanied by coexisting ions for the above reasons.

  That is, the present invention provides an economical and effective water treatment agent for treating boron, fluorine, etc. even in wastewater containing chloride ions in high concentration in wastewater and wastewater in which boron and fluorine coexist. An object is to provide a water treatment method. In addition, wastewater treatment of boron and fluorine is a problem not only in large companies but also in various small and medium-sized manufacturing industries and other industries. The purpose is to provide a water treatment method using a simple and inexpensive treatment device. And

The water treatment method of the present invention is water comprising aluminum sulfate and quicklime mixed in a waste water containing both boron and fluorine components so that the molar ratio of aluminum to calcium is in the range of 1: 5 to 1:22. A treatment agent is added, and boron and fluorine are simultaneously removed to make boron 10 mg / L or less and fluorine 8 mg / L or less .

  In the above, slaked lime is further added.

  In the above, an iron compound is further added to remove selenium.

  Moreover, in the above, quick lime and slaked lime are added to waste water as powder.

  Moreover, in the above, the slurry whose content of quicklime and slaked lime is 20 mass% or less is added to waste water.

  The water treatment agent and water treatment method of the present invention use quick lime, slaked lime, aluminum sulfate, and an iron compound, which are the least expensive alkali raw materials. In the water treatment agent and water treatment method of the present invention, there are few obstacles to the treatment effect by chloride ions or sulfate ions in the waste water. By adding the water treatment agent of the present invention to the wastewater and mixing and stirring, wastewater containing chloride ions, which has been difficult to treat with the prior art, or boron and fluorine treatment in wastewater in which boron and fluorine coexist are treated. It can be done efficiently and economically. Moreover, this water treatment agent can be used suitably also for the removal of phosphoric acid, etc.

  When mixing iron compounds with the water treatment agent, in addition to treating boron and fluorine in the wastewater, selenium, arsenic, hexavalent chromium, lead, cadmium, mercury, copper, zinc, molybdenum, nickel, antimony It is possible to efficiently remove harmful ions such as. In the present invention, by utilizing such characteristics, flue gas desulfurization drainage containing fluorine and boron together, factory drainage coexisting fluorine and the above-mentioned harmful substances, etc., groundwater, soil leachate treatment, etc. It can be done reliably and efficiently.

  Hereinafter, the water treatment agent and the water treatment method of the present invention will be described in detail.

  The water treatment agent of the present invention is characterized by using aluminum sulfate and quicklime powder which is an inexpensive alkali raw material. Further, this may contain slaked lime powder, and may further contain an iron compound.

  The water treatment method of the present invention is characterized in that quick lime and slaked lime powder, which are the water treatment agent components, are added to waste water as powder. Alternatively, quick lime or slaked lime powder is added to the wastewater as a slurry having a concentration of 20% by mass or less.

  The water treatment agent and water treatment method of the present invention can efficiently treat wastewater containing boron and fluorine as described above, and this is greatly hindered even when chloride ions are contained at a high concentration. There is no. Further, even in wastewater in which boron and fluorine coexist, both boron and fluorine can be efficiently treated to a low concentration.

  When the water treatment agent of the present invention contains an iron compound, in addition to boron and fluorine, selenium, hexavalent chromium, arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, zinc, molybdenum, nickel, antimony, etc. should also be treated. Can do.

  Although aluminum sulfate is used for the water treatment agent of the present invention, it may be powdery or liquid. In addition, as an aluminum raw material, aluminum chloride, polyaluminum chloride (PAC), potassium alum, etc., and further, aluminum-containing mineral powders such as metakaolin can be used in combination with aluminum sulfate. The efficiency when treating fluorine is reduced.

  The quicklime used as the water treatment agent of the present invention is obtained by calcining limestone (calcium carbonate), which is a natural mineral, at 900 ° C. or higher and adjusting the particle size. Moreover, what added water to this quicklime and produced the hydration reaction turns into slaked lime.

  As a general industrial product of quicklime, there is a product having a maximum particle size of 100 mm to several tens of μm, but it is desirable to use a product having a particle size of 0.5 mm or less for the water treatment of the present invention. In addition, it is preferable that the particle diameter is as small as economic efficiency allows.

  Moreover, the water treatment agent of this invention can be made to contain slaked lime. It is preferable to use a slaked lime having a particle size of 0.6 mm or less.

  As described above, the water treatment method for boron and fluorine combined with an aluminum compound and a calcium compound has been conventionally performed, but no technique using quick lime has been performed so far. This is because quick lime is recognized only as a precursor of slaked lime, and in the water treatment method, it is common to add a water treatment agent to the wastewater in a liquid or slurry state, but this is difficult, It seems that quick lime reacts with water and generates a high temperature, so if the storage management is poor, it is a dangerous substance such as a fire.

  However, the present invention has found that by using quicklime, boron and fluorine can be effectively treated even in the presence of chloride ions as described below. Further, the present water treatment agent can treat boron to a low concentration even in the presence of fluorine ions. This is considered to be because the quick lime activity is high, and the calcium aluminate compound is efficiently formed, so that an excellent water treatment effect is produced. In addition, the water treatment method of the present invention has advantages such that the speed of solid-liquid separation due to precipitation caused by the reaction is fast, the water treatment time is shortened, and the equipment can be reduced in capacity.

  In this water treatment agent, quick lime and slaked lime can be mixed and used. Thereby, the danger at the time of storage can be reduced. Even if 20-30 mass% of quicklime raw materials are replaced with slaked lime as shown in practice, the treatment effect is not greatly reduced, and can be used for treatment of waste water and the like in which chloride ions coexist.

  In the water treatment of the present invention, in order to obtain an excellent water treatment effect, a method of adding quick lime as powder to waste water is preferable. Moreover, it can add as a slurry of a density | concentration of 20 mass% or less. On the other hand, in the conventional water treatment method using slaked lime, a method of using it as a slurry of about 30% is common.

  Since aluminum sulfate, which is another raw material constituting the water treatment agent of the present invention, is a water-containing powder product or a liquid product, it must be added separately to the wastewater without being mixed with quicklime. The method of adding aluminum sulfate is preferably a method of adding quicklime after dissolving aluminum sulfate in the waste water, but the effect is not lowered even if it is added almost simultaneously. In addition, although aluminum sulfate also has an anhydrous powder, this is not preferable because it is difficult to dissolve in water.

  When the water treatment of the present invention is used to treat boron with an overall treatment time of about 30 minutes, it depends on the pH of the wastewater, the coexisting ions, and the amount of the water treatment agent added. It is preferable to adjust the weight ratio of aluminum sulfate: quick lime to a range of approximately 1: 2 to 1: 8. In addition, the molar ratio of Al: Ca is in the range of 1: 5 to 1:22, which is considerably different from the compositional balance studied in the prior art.

  Moreover, when performing a process of fluorine, it mix | blends so that the addition rate of aluminum sulfate may be increased from the above and it may become the said pH range.

  An iron compound can be further added to the water treatment agent of the present invention. Iron compounds include iron sulfide ore powder, iron sulfate (II, III), iron chloride (II, III), iron hydroxide (II, III), iron oxide (II, III), iron trioxide, iron powder, etc. Can be mentioned.

  Iron sulfide, pyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, and pyrrhotite can be used as the iron sulfide ore, and these are used by pulverizing to 1.0 mm or less, preferably 0.2 mm or less in order to increase the reaction activity of the water treatment agent. It is preferable to do. Further, the higher the purity of iron sulfide, the higher the water treatment effect, and those having a purity of 80% or more are preferred.

  By adding iron sulfide powder, water treatment of lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc, copper and other heavy metals, hexavalent chromium, selenium, arsenic, antimony, etc. in wastewater is performed in addition to treatment of boron and fluorine. be able to. In addition, harmful ions such as selenium and mercury can be removed together with boron and fluorine in the flue gas desulfurization effluent of a coal-fired power plant. In addition, wastewater of the same type as flue gas desulfurization wastewater includes wastewater from coal storage in coal-fired power plants and leachate from landfills for coal ash.

  The sulfur component of the pyrite has the property of exchanging with arsenic, selenium, etc., and these components can be removed by this property. Moreover, the sulfate ion derived from aluminum sulfate acts on the iron sulfide ore surface and has a function of promoting the oxidative decomposition of the iron sulfide ore, whereby an excellent water treatment effect can be obtained in a relatively short time.

  Further, the water treatment agent of the present invention includes iron sulfate (II, III), iron chloride (II, III), iron hydroxide (II, III), iron oxide (II, III), iron trioxide, iron powder, etc. In addition to the treatment of boron and fluorine, the treatment of arsenic, hexavalent chromium, selenium, antimony and the like can be performed simultaneously with the treatment of boron and fluorine.

  In the above-described methods for treating each substance, the pH is preferably 10 or less when treating arsenic, and the pH is preferably 10 or more for treating selenium and antimony.

  The iron compound may be added as powder to the waste water, but it is preferably added as a liquid or slurry.

  The water treatment agent of the present invention may further contain alkali and alkaline earth metal element-containing raw materials as pH adjusters and auxiliary raw materials. As the alkali or alkaline earth metal element-containing raw material, at least one selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfate, slaked lime, calcined gypsum, limestone powder, light calcined magnesium, magnesium sulfate and calcined dolomite can be used.

  Further, in the water treatment agent of the present invention, a polymer flocculant such as polyacrylic acid may be used in combination. By using the polymer flocculant in combination, the boron removal rate can be improved by several percent, and the stability of the water treatment effect can be enhanced.

  The water treatment agent of the present invention is a so-called coagulation separation type water treatment method using the above-mentioned raw materials. The water treatment method using the coagulation separation method is usually performed by the following process. In recent facilities, a membrane separation process is combined in place of the precipitation process. When the membrane separation method is combined, there is an advantage that the plant installation area can be greatly reduced.

  (1) [Reaction process] A reaction process in which a water treatment agent is added to waste water and mixed uniformly to cause a chemical reaction. Here, stirring is performed at a rotation speed of about 100 rpm to 300 rpm. If necessary, a pH adjuster is added here.

  (2) [Agglomeration process] An agglomeration process in which colloids are formed in the waste water, and boron and fluorine are fixed thereto. At this stage, stirring is carried out at a slow speed of 30 to 50 rpm so as not to break the colloidal floc generated by the usual method using aluminum sulfate.

  (3) [Precipitation process (solid-liquid separation process)] A precipitation process in which the stirring of the waste water is stopped and the colloid is allowed to settle to perform solid-liquid separation. Since harmful ions are fixed to the colloid, they are separated from the waste water by this action. The precipitate is then processed with a dehydrator or the like.

  (4) [pH adjustment process] Here, the pH of the waste water is adjusted to meet the waste water standard.

  In the water treatment method of the present invention, in order to obtain an excellent water treatment effect, it is preferable to add quick lime and slaked lime to the wastewater as powder in the process (1). Quick lime and slaked lime can be added to the wastewater as a slurry of 20% or less, preferably 15% or less.

  When quicklime is added to water, it generates heat and the water temperature rises greatly. For example, when quick lime powder having a particle size of 0.5 mm or less is added in an amount of 30% by mass with respect to water, the temperature rises by about 60 ° C. and becomes a temperature near the boiling point in the summer, and is applied to actual treatment. Various problems are likely to occur. For this reason, in this invention, it is preferable to add to a wastewater as a slurry of 20 mass% or less, preferably 15 mass% or less.

  Moreover, when processing the waste_water | drain with which chloride ion etc. coexist, in the method of using quicklime etc. as a slurry, it is preferable to add to a waste_water | drain as soon as possible after preparing a slurry. As an example of this, in the water treatment of chloride ion 5000 mg / L and boron concentration 500 mg / L, in the test result of adding quick lime powder as a 10% by mass slurry to the wastewater, when added to the wastewater immediately after slurry preparation. The boron treatment ability is the same as when added as a powder, but the boron removal efficiency is reduced by 9% when added after 5 minutes and 46% when added after 30 minutes.

  Further, in the present invention, aluminum sulfate may be added in a liquid state as in a normal water treatment method, or may be added as a powder to waste water.

  Next, in the water treatment using the water treatment agent of the present invention, the stirring speed in the aggregation process of (2) is preferably 80 rpm or more, which is a rotational speed of 2 to 3 times or more, and is 100 rpm or more. More preferably. The reason for this is not clear, but in the water treatment method of the present invention, it is considered that a precipitate with a relatively high density is formed, and the solid content is not stirred well at the above stirring speed.

  When water treatment containing boron is performed using the water treatment agent of the present invention, it is preferable to control the pH of the waste water to a range of 9.0 to 13.0, particularly when the boron concentration is high. A range of 5 to 12.5 is more preferable. This is due to the fact that the form of boron changes with pH, and it is preferable to use the above-mentioned high alkali for efficient treatment.

  Next, when water treatment containing fluorine is performed using the water treatment agent of the present invention, the pH of the waste water is preferably in the range of 5.0 to 12.0, particularly when the fluorine concentration is high. More preferably, it is in the range of 0 to 9.0.

  The waste water containing both boron and fluorine is preferably in the range of pH 9.0 to 12.0 depending on the respective concentrations. When either or both of the concentrations are high, the pH is first set to 5.0 to 9.0, and fluorine is first treated in the first process, and quick lime is added in the next step, and the pH is 10.0 to 12. The method can be applied to a method in which two processes for treating boron are combined and processed.

  This pH can be controlled by using caustic soda or sulfuric acid, but only by controlling the balance of the addition amount of aluminum sulfate and quicklime as the raw material of the water treatment agent of the present invention, as in the following examples. This method is preferable because processing can be performed very efficiently.

  In the water treatment method of the present invention, known water treatment methods such as a method of dividing the water treatment into multiple stages, a method of repeatedly circulating the treated water, a method of returning sludge and repeatedly using it as a water treatment agent, etc. Can be implemented in combination.

  As described above, the water treatment of the present invention is classified as a so-called coagulation separation method, and generally uses a method of solid-liquid separation of treated water and precipitates by thickener or filtration treatment. It is also possible to apply to the processing of the method.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said Example, A various deformation | transformation implementation is possible within the scope of the summary of this invention.

  Hereinafter, based on a specific example, it demonstrates in detail.

[Simulation wastewater boron water treatment test]
A simulated waste water having a boron concentration B of 500 mg / L and a chloride ion concentration of 0 to 10,000 mg / L was prepared using a boric acid reagent, hydrochloric acid (concentration 35 to 36%), and sodium hydroxide. The water treatment agent shown in Table 1 was added to this, and the boron water treatment test was implemented by the method described below.

(Test method)
(1) 200 ml of simulated waste water with a boron concentration of 500 mg / L adjusted with a reagent is dispensed into a 500 ml beaker, a water treatment agent of a predetermined composition is added, and water treatment ability of boron or the like is evaluated.

  (2) While stirring at a rotational speed of 300 rpm using a magnetic stirrer, two or three kinds of water treatment agent raw materials are simultaneously added as powder. At this time, the test is started and the solution is stirred for 5 minutes. However, in Example 6, 10% by mass of quicklime powder was added to pure water, stirred for 30 seconds with a magnetic stirrer to prepare a slurry, and added to the simulated waste water immediately after preparation.

(3) After the above operation, a beaker is set on the jar tester, the rotation speed is set to 100 rpm in Examples 1 to 8, and 30 rpm in Comparative Examples 1 to 5, and stirring is further performed for 15 minutes. Thereafter, the solution is allowed to stand for 10 minutes, the precipitate is allowed to settle, and solid-liquid separation is performed. (Total processing time 30 minutes)
(4) Set the filter paper (5C) on the suction filtration device, and vacuum filter the solution. (PH measurement)
(5) Using the filtrate, measure the boron concentration using ICP. Moreover, when it contains in waste_water | drain, a selenium density | concentration is measured by ICP and a fluorine concentration is measured by a glass electrode.

  The test results are shown in Table 2.

  The results of boron treatment of the water treatment agent of the present invention are shown in Examples 1-6. The water treatment agent of the present invention has lower treatment performance than the so-called sulfuric acid band method of Comparative Example 1 below when no chloride ions are present, but the chloride ion concentration is up to 10,000 mg / L. Even if it increases, processing performance does not decrease at all. Moreover, in Example 5 which replaced a part of quicklime with slaked lime, although a processing effect falls about 20%, it has a big processing performance compared with a comparative example. Furthermore, in the test results of Example 6 in which quick lime was added as a slurry, no decrease was observed in the boron removal performance. The water temperature rise when the slurry was prepared was 24 ° C.

  On the other hand, the test results using slaked lime and aluminum sulfate, which are general methods shown in Comparative Examples 1 to 4, have a high treatment effect when chloride ions are not present, and the boron removal amount per unit weight of the water treatment agent is 17.5 mg / kg and good processability. However, the treatment performance is greatly reduced due to an increase in chloride ions, and at a concentration of 10,000 mg / L, the boron removal ability becomes 1/3 or less of the water treatment agent of the present invention.

Here, quicklime Ueda lime manufacturing Co., particle size -0.5 mm, the composition _{(CaO: 94.8%, SiO 2} : 0.7%, Al 2 O 3: 0.3%, Fe 2 O 3: 0.1%, MgO: 0.9%, ig.loss: 2.7%), and slaked lime manufactured by Ueda Lime Manufacturing Co., Ltd., industrial special number, particle size -0.6 mm, composition (CaO 72.5 mass) % Or more) was used. The aluminum sulfate, manufactured by Toshin Chemical Co., aluminum sulfate 16-hydrate was used _{(Al 2 O 3 16.0%)} . Moreover, the concentration 35-36% reagent made from Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd. was used for hydrochloric acid.

[Wastewater treatment in ceramics]
Here, wastewater treatment in a ceramic industry having a boron concentration of 95.1 mg / L and a fluorine concentration of 31.8 mg / L will be considered. The purpose of water treatment is to treat both components in the wastewater to a level equal to or lower than the wastewater standard value. (Boron: 10 mg / L or less, fluorine: 8 mg / L) The following water treatment agent was added as powder to this waste water, and a water treatment test was conducted by the above-described method.

  Information on the coexisting ions contained in this wastewater was as follows.

Composition of drainage, etc .: Ca: 31 mg / L, Na: 180 mg / L, Al: 11.3 mg / L, Cl: 117 mg / L, pH: 9.9
(Example 7) The water treatment agent described in Table 1 was added to this waste water by 1.5% by mass. The results are shown in Table 3.

  (Comparative Example 5) 2.0% by mass of the water treatment agent described in Table 1 was added to this waste water. The results are shown in Table 3. In both treatments, the pH of the solution was adjusted to almost the same conditions by changing the composition of the raw materials.

  It is said that it is difficult to reduce boron to a low concentration in wastewater coexisting with fluorine in the conventional method of coagulation and precipitation using aluminum sulfate and slaked lime. Both components are below the wastewater standard at 1.5% by mass, and boron is also removed to a low concentration. Moreover, the removal amount per unit weight of the water treatment agent is 1.4 times in the boron treatment and 2.0 times in the fluorine treatment as compared with the comparative example.

[Treatment of flue gas desulfurization waste water]
Here, a processing example of flue gas desulfurization waste water is shown. A boric acid reagent was added to desulfurization effluent collected from a coal-fired power plant, and the boron concentration was adjusted to about 500 mg / L. The characteristics of the drainage after adjustment were as follows. To this waste water, 1.7% by mass of the water treatment agent shown in Table 1 and Example 6 was added, and a water treatment test was conducted in the same manner as described above. The results are shown in Table 3.
(Characteristics of flue gas desulfurization drainage)
-Wastewater composition, etc .: Ca: 1210 mg / l, Cl: 3850 mg / L, SO4: 2510 mg / L, etc., pH 7.5
Harmful ion concentration: Boron concentration 491 mg / L (raw water: 185 mg / L), fluorine 16.4 mg / L, total selenium: 0.55 mg / L
As shown in the results of Table 3 and Example 8, with the water treatment agent of the present invention, it was possible to treat wastewater containing high-concentration boron extremely well up to the standard for wastewater discharge to the sea area for all components. In addition, the boron removal ability in this treatment was as extremely high as 20 mg / g. (Effluent standard (sea area): Boron: 230 mg / L, Fluorine: 15 mg / L, Total selenium: 0.30 mg / L)
Here iron disulfide powder used (pyrite powder) is made in China a pulverized material particle size 100 mesh or less, the composition is Fe: 48.7 wt%, S: 45.9 _wt%, SiO 2: 4.1 wt % Of high purity. Moreover, the same thing as the above was used for quicklime and aluminum sulfate.
