The invention discloses a method for separating iron and
zinc in iron-containing waste acid. The method comprises the following steps: S1, pretreating to remove suspended matters and impurities in theiron-containing waste acid; S2, carrying out
water washing activation treatment on a 1 # resin and a 2 # resin; S3, carrying out column filing of the 1 # resin column and the 2 # resin column and connection in series, enabling the iron-containing waste acid pretreated in the step S1 sequentially flowing through a 1 # resin column and a 2 # resin column, so that
zinc ions are adsorbed by resin, and a
ferrous acid solution is collected at a liquid outlet position of the resin columns; and S4, eluting the
zinc ions adsorbed by the 1 # resin column and the 2 # resin column with running water to obtain a low-acidity zinc
chloride solution.
Zinc ions in the waste acid are adsorbed by the activated amphoteric resins; the adsorption columns are washed with water to obtain the low-acidity zinc
chloride solution through
recovery; meanwhile, a solution obtained after adsorption is a recyclable
ferrous acid solution, and can be used for preparing a water purifying agent after being oxidized; thetechnological process is simple, the resins are convenient to elute and regenerate, the
usable period is long, no secondary is generated in the process, and separation and
resource utilization of ironand zinc elements in the iron-containing waste acid are realized to the greatest extent.
