The diffusion dialysis sulfuric acid recovery system is a high-efficiency separation solution designed for the resource recovery of acidic wastewater in the formation foil industry. It is mainly used to treat waste streams containing sulfuric acid/sulfate aluminum and nitric acid/nitrate aluminum generated during the etching process.
By applying diffusion dialysis technology, the system efficiently separates acids from metal salts, enabling the recovery and reuse of sulfuric and nitric acids. This approach replaces traditional neutralization methods, significantly reducing sludge generation and salt load, while improving both environmental and economic performance.
Diffusion dialysis is based on selective ion transport driven by a concentration gradient. A concentration difference is established across an anion exchange membrane between the waste acid solution and water. Without the need for external pressure, acid molecules preferentially migrate through the membrane to the water side under the driving force of the concentration gradient, achieving acid transfer and enrichment.
At the same time, metal ions are effectively retained due to the membrane’s selectivity. Continuous operation enables the separation and recovery of sulfuric and nitric acids, while reducing the concentration of metal ions in the remaining solution, allowing for efficient resource reuse.
