The invention discloses a method for removing
arsenic and recycling
tungsten from
tungsten smelting wastewater, which comprises the following steps of: 1, adding inorganic acid into waste liquor after
sodium tungstate solution is subjected to strongly basic anion resin exchange to adjust the waste liquor to be faintly acid, namely pH=3-6, and simultaneously adding a trace amount of flocculating agent; 2, injecting the faintly acid
wastewater from which suspended matters are filtered out into an exchange column filled with D313 or D314 type anion resin, and adsorbing all
arsenic and
phosphorus in the
wastewater by using the D type anion resin; and 3, desorbing the resin by using caustic soda solution, making 90 percent of
tungsten crystallized and separated out in a form of Na2WO4.2H2O, reacting most harmful elements with an additive, and removing a
slag phase. The method has the advantages that: the resin can thoroughly adsorb the tungsten and
arsenic, so that the harmful element arsenic in the discharged production wastewater is reduced to less than 0.05mg / L from 1.5mg / L; the
metal recovery rate is improved to 96-97 percent from 93-94 percent; and the tungsten detection in the in-
process control process is saved, so the operation is simplified, the product quality is ensured, and the consumption of a NH4Cl strippant and water can be reduced.
