The diffusion dialysis sulfuric acid recovery system for the aluminum profile industry is a high-efficiency acid recovery solution designed for anodizing process wastewater. It can purify over 80% of sulfuric acid from spent acid while effectively retaining aluminum ions (retention rate up to 90%), ensuring that the aluminum ion concentration in the returned anodizing bath remains below 1 g/L for stable bath control.
By recovering sulfuric acid and precisely managing aluminum ions, the system not only significantly improves the surface quality of aluminum profiles but also reduces electricity consumption and wastewater treatment costs, enhancing overall production efficiency and economic performance.
Diffusion dialysis relies on a concentration gradient between acidic wastewater and water to drive selective acid migration. A concentration difference is established across an anion exchange membrane, with the waste sulfuric acid on one side and water on the other.
Under this gradient, acid molecules preferentially pass through the membrane to the water side, concentrating and recovering the sulfuric acid. Aluminum ions are blocked by the membrane and remain in the original solution, returning to the anodizing bath at low concentrations (<1 g/L). This ensures stable aluminum ion control in the bath while reducing metal discharge in wastewater.
