The Effective Treatment of Hot Dip Galvanizing Effluent Streams

热浸镀锌废水是一种严重的环境危害。这些废水目前用卡车运到厂外，由承包商进行处理，沉淀出重金属污泥，然后通过填埋场进行处置。作为澳大利亚最大的热浸镀锌公司，工业镀锌公司热衷于消除这种危险。为此，我们将考虑使用创新的膜工艺;从废水中回收有价值的锌和铁化合物，并使水得到再利用。如果成功的话，该项目将导致在工业镀锌厂建造一个试点废水处理厂。

Hot Dip galvanizing effluent represents a significant environmental hazard. This wastewater is currently trucked offsite and treated by contractors to precipitate a heavy metal sludge that is disposed of through landfill. Industrial Galvanisers, as the largest hot dip galvanizing company within Australia, are keen to eliminate this hazard. We will consider the use of an innovative membrane based process for this purpose; to recover valuable zinc and iron compounds from the effluent and allow the water to be re-utilised. If successful, this project will lead to a pilot plant wastewater treatment plant being constructed at an Industrial Galvanizers site.
