The Treatment Of Galvanizing Wastewater: Delivering An Environmentally And Economically Sustainable Approach.

该项目将研究一种处理澳大利亚各地工业镀锌废水的工艺。一旦实施，该过程将大大减少这些地点的酸和淡水消耗。此外，该工艺将以可销售的形式回收废水中的锌含量，还可以产生氯化铁作为水处理化学品出售。填埋的重金属数量也将大幅减少。多组分液-液平衡的科学知识将对包括锌和铜金属精炼在内的更广泛的溶剂萃取过程有价值。

This project will investigate a process to treat wastewater from industrial galvanizing sites around Australia. When implemented, the process will substantially reduce the consumption of acid and fresh water at these sites. Further, the process will recover the zinc content of the wastewater in a saleable form and can also generate ferric chloride for sale as a water treatment chemical. The quantity of heavy metals disposed to landfill will also be dramatically reduced. Scientific knowledge of multicomponent liquid-liquid equilibria will be of value to a wider range of solvent extraction processes including zinc and copper metal refining.
