The diffusion dialysis waste sulfuric acid resource recovery system is a high-efficiency acid recovery solution that integrates microfiltration, diffusion dialysis, and nanofiltration technologies. It is specifically designed for treating by-product waste sulfuric acid generated during titanium dioxide production.
Through a multi-stage membrane separation process, the system enables efficient sulfuric acid recovery and impurity removal, significantly reducing waste acid discharge while improving resource utilization. It is suitable for large-scale continuous operation, delivering both environmental compliance and strong economic benefits.
The system begins with microfiltration as a pretreatment step to remove suspended solids and particulate matter from the waste sulfuric acid.
The pretreated solution then enters the diffusion dialysis unit, where sulfuric acid molecules migrate through anion exchange membranes under a concentration gradient, enabling acid recovery while separating ferrous ions.
Finally, the solution undergoes nanofiltration for polishing treatment, further removing residual ferrous ions. Through this multi-stage membrane process, high-purity sulfuric acid is obtained and can be reconcentrated as needed before being reused in the production system.
