The invention discloses a method for treating
electroplating wastewater. The method comprises the following steps: (1) primary physical-
chemical treatment; (2) secondary physical-
chemical treatment: after the discharged water generated in step (1) is subject to homogenizing treatment, adding
sodium hypochlorite into the homogenized water, then adding
sodium pyrosulfite into the obtained product to remove
residual chlorine, and adding aluminum chlorhydroxide into the obtained product; and (3) biochemical
system treatment: adding appropriate biochemical
sewage into the product obtained in step (2), mixing the biochemical
sewage and the product, then feeding the obtained mixture into a biological
hydrolysis pool; controlling the mixture under appropriate conditions and within an appropriate
retention time; carrying out reduction on the obtained mixture by utilizing
facultative anaerobes; and hydrolyzing the obtained discharged water subjected to reduction, feeding the discharged water into an aerobic
biological oxidation pond, and then carrying out
mass propagation of
engineering bacterias under an appropriate condition by using organic pollutants in
wastewater. By using the method provided by the invention, the total treatment rates of a
system are as follows: the
treatment rate of heavy
metal is greater than or equal to 99.7 percent, the
treatment rate of
ammonia nitrogen is greater than or equal to 90 percent, and the
treatment rate of
chemical oxygen demand (COD) is greater than or equal to 88 percent, therefore, the
electroplating wastewater treated by using the method comprehensively meets the requirements of the
Discharge Standard for Pollutants from
Electroplating Industry (GB21900-2008).
