Abstract

In the treatment of Cu - and CN - contained wastewater by using Fenton oxidation-flocculation-precipitation, the optimal removal efficiencies of the cyanide and copper were investigated according to pH, reaction time, the molar ratio of cyanide and hydrogen peroxide and the mass ratio of ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide for Fenton oxidation, and pH for hydroxide precipitation, respectively. As a result, the $CN^-$ removal efficiency in our experimental wastewater by the Fenton oxidation was 81.2%~99% at its optimal conditions of pH ranging from 3 to 5 and reaction time of 30 minutes. And the optimal dosage of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate was 214, $428mg/{\ell}$, 107, $161mg/{\ell}$, 214, $214mg/{\ell}$ and 520, $500mg/{\ell}$, respectively when the molar ratio of $Cu^{2+}$:CN is 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:10, and was 900, $1050mg/{\ell}$ when the molar ratio of $Cu^+$: CN is 1:10. When the copper was precipitated by sodium hydroxide after Fenton oxidation, the copper removal efficiency in the wastewater at pH 7 was 98.92%, 98.52%, 92.46%, 90.6% and 95%, respectively.

Cu-CN을 함유한 폐수를 펜톤산화 - 응집 - 침전의 공정으로 처리할 때, 펜톤 산화시 pH, 반응시간, 시안과 과산화수소의 몰비, 철염과 과산화수소 농도의 질량비 변화 그리고 수산화물 침전시 pH 변화에 따른 시안화물 및 구리의 최적의 제거율 조건을 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 모든 폐수에 대해 펜톤 산화 반응의 최적 pH는 3~5 그리고 반응시간은 30분에서 시안의 제거율이 81.2%~99%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, $H_2O_2$$FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$의 최적 주입량은 $Cu^{2+}$:CN(molar ratio)=2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:10인 폐수에서는 각각 214, $428mg/{\ell}$, 107, $161mg/{\ell}$, 214, $214mg/{\ell}$, 520, $500mg/{\ell}$으로, $Cu^+$:CN=1:10인 폐수에서는 900, $1050mg/{\ell}$으로 나타났다. 산화 반응 후 구리를 수산화물로 침전 시킨 결과 모든 폐수에 대해 pH 7에서 그 제거율이 각각 98.92, 98.52, 92.46, 90.6% 그리고 95%로 가장 높게 나타났다.
