Abstract

Continuous adsorption and recovery characteristics for gold and lead-cyanide complexes in industrial wastewater were investigated by the Dowex 21K XLT resin. The Dowex 21K XLT resin could continuously remove over 95% for gold-cyanide complex until 520 bed volumes at the 0.5 mL/min of influent flow rate, however, could not remove lead-cyanide complex at all. The 96% of gold-cyanide complex adsorbed onto Dowex 21K XLT resin could be recovered by mixed solvent with HCl and acetone (7:3 ratio) within 8 bed volumes. Also, the bed volume for gold-cyanide complex using secondly reused Dowex 21K XLT resin was maintained as the 490, therefore, continuous process using Dowex 21K XLT resin can be sufficiently applied to the industrial wastewater containing gold ions.

Dowex 21K XLT 수지를 이용하여 산업폐수 내에 존재하는 금과 납-시안 착화합물에 대한 연속흡착 및 회수 특성을 조사하였다. 충전층에 충진된 Dowex 21K XLT 수지는 0.5mL/min의 유입유속에서 금-시안 착화합물을 520 bed volume까지 95% 이상 연속적으로 제거할 수 있지만, 납-시안 착화합물은 전혀 제거할 수 없었다. Dowex 21K XLT 수지에 흡착된 금-시안 착화합물은 HCl과 Acetone을 7:3의 비율로 섞은 혼합액을 탈착제로 이용하였을 때, 8 bed volume 내에서 96% 탈착되어졌다. 또한 두 번 재사용된 Dowex 21K XLT 수지의 금-시안 착화합물에 대한 bed volume이 490을 유지하여 향후 금 이온을 포함하고 있는 산업폐수 처리공정에 충분히 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
