Wastewater Treatment System for the Metallurgical Industry


‌Working Principle

Wastewater treatment in the metallurgical industry involves a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove various pollutants. The wastewater generated is complex, including oily wastewater, copper-containing wastewater, and cyanide-containing wastewater, each requiring specific treatment methods to ensure that the effluent meets discharge standards.


Oily Wastewater Treatment:



Oil Separation: Physical methods are used to remove floating oil.

Micro-electrolysis + Coagulation and Precipitation: The micro-electrolysis process generates reactive substances that break down organic pollutants, followed by coagulation to remove suspended particles.

Biological + Anaerobic Treatment: Anaerobic bacteria degrade organic compounds, reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD).

Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Method: Combines membrane filtration and biological degradation to improve treatment efficiency, meeting the primary discharge standards.

Cyanide-Containing Wastewater Treatment:

Acidification and Stripping: Adjusting the pH allows cyanide compounds to volatilize.

Oxidation and Precipitation: Oxidizing agents convert cyanide to non-toxic cyanates, which are then removed through precipitation.

Filtration + Adsorption: Additional filtration and adsorption processes remove residual contaminants.

Copper-Containing Wastewater Treatment:

Chemical Precipitation: Chemical agents are added to precipitate copper and other heavy metals in solid form.


Filtration: Suspended solids are removed through filtration, ensuring clean effluent.
