A Study on the Recovery of Zinc ion from Metal-Plating Wastewater by Using Spent Catalyst

酸化鐵 廢觸媒에 의한 도금폐수중 아연이온 回收에 관한 基礎硏究

Zinc ion could be recovered from metal plating wastewater with the spent iron oxide catalyst which was used in the plant of Styrene Monomer(SM) production. The zinc was recovered more than 98.7% at higher than pH 2.0. The saturation magnetization of the spent catalyst is enough high as 59.4 emu/g to apply in the solid-liquid separation after treating the wastewater. The mechanism of zinc recovery with the iron oxide catalyst could be a electro-chemical adsorption at pH 3.0~8.5, and a precipitation as $Zn(OH)_2$ at higher than pH 8.5.

Magnetite가 주성분인 산화철 폐촉매를 이용하여 도금폐수중 아연이온을 pH 2.0이상에서 98.7% 이상 회수하였다. 폐촉매의 포화자화값은 59.4 smug으로 폐수처리후 자기적방법에 의해 고.액분리가 가능하다. 산화철 .폐촉매에 의한 폐수중 아연이온의 회수메카니즘은 pH 3.0-8.5 범위에서는 폐촉매 표면에서 $Zn^{2+}$ 이온의 정전기적 흡착이며 pH 8.5 이상에서는 $Zn(OH)_2$의 침전이라고 생각한다.
