provide flow scheme for pickling treatment scheme
Mar 07th, 2013, 6:16am
 
I need a clarification for the effluent treatment plant of steel industries pickling process.Only sulphuric acid and water is used in the process.
I suggest the following process
Increase pH by adding Naoh, following by Fecl3 and anionic polymer for coagulation and floculation. a lamella plate clarifier followed by the treatment of DMF and ACF. Finally Hypo is dosed for disinfection

The flow rate is 1 M3/hr

Just some thoughts. first, why add FeCl - when once the pH is raised you can oxidize using ozone, or electrolysis, etc and utilize the iron in solution to create the iron oxide. seems your adding more metal and getting more sludge creation then you need to - which increases polymer addition as well as the filtration requirement and disposal cost unless you have secondary market for the heavy metals you captured (nickle, magnesium, copper, aluminum, etc). Second - your talking about a pickling batch wastewater - why hypro for dsinfection at the end? Where's the bacterial contamination? Third - what is the end use-discharge of the wastewater? - How will you address the chloride and sodium salts issue? Seems UF then either RO or forward osmosis would be applicable at such a low flow rate.

Aquaticonsult makes some good points. I might point out that Fe++ is readily oxidized to Fe+++ in water at a pH of 8.5 with air.
