[0106] Experiments for the preparation of sodium aluminate

[0107] An experimental set was carried out to investigate the preparation of sodium aluminate. Change two main variables: molar ratio NaOH:Al(OH) 3 (1-1.5, where >1 indicates a ratio exceeding the stoichiometric ratio) and reaction temperature (70-120°C). Due to the high boiling point of the sodium hydroxide solution, experiments can be performed at atmospheric pressure.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for removing sulfate, calcium and / or other soluble metals from wastewater, wherein NaOH and Al(OH) 3 contact at a temperature of at least 60°C and in a molar ratio of NaOH:Al(OH) 3 is at least 1.0 for the preparation of sodium aluminate, the waste water is contacted with the obtained sodium aluminate and the first calcium compound to produce a slurry containing mayordite, and the slurry containing the mayardite is subjected to solid-liquid separation to separate the solid from the liquid, thereby producing a first solution, contacting the first solution with a carbonating agent, to neutralize the first solution and to precipitate calcium contained in the first solution as calcium carbonate, and to perform solid-liquid separation to The precipitated calcium carbonate is separated from the first solution to obtain water with reduced sulfate, calcium and / or other soluble metal content.

Description

[0001] field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method of removing sulfate, calcium and / or other soluble metals from wastewater, and more particularly to a method of removing sulfate, calcium and / or other soluble metals from wastewater using sodium aluminate. [0003] Background of the invention [0004] Sodium aluminate chemicals are required in the so-called wollastonite precipitation process, which is used to remove sulphate and calcium from water, especially from mining industrial wastewater. The wollastonite precipitation method is an effective method of removing sulfate from wastewater to levels far below that achievable using traditional gypsum precipitation methods. However, sodium aluminate can be expensive and is not always readily available in all the cases where it is needed. [0005] Publication WO98 / 55405 discloses a method for removing sulphate and calcium from a water stream comprising the steps of: mixing the water stream with a certain a...
