The Study of Cadmium Wastewater Disposal by Heavy Metal Flocculant Polyhydroximic Acid

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polyhydroximic acid (PHA) with the function of heavy metal flocculant was made by compounding polyacrylamide, hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium hydroxide, to observe its effects on the cadmium wastewater disposal under different conditions (pH value, different organic complexing agents EDTA, triammonium citrate, glycocoll, humic acids and turbidity). The present study reaches the following results: (1) PHA has good effects on the removal of Cd2+ in wastewater; for the sample wastewater with a concentration of 25 mg•L-1, the removal rate of Cd2+ can reach 94%; (2) The removal rate of Cd2+ rise with the rise of pH values(4-8); (3) EDTA can obviously inhibit PHA’s removal rate of Cd2+; (4) Triammonium citrate can improve PHA’s removing ability of Cd2+. (5) Glycocoll and humic acids can obviously enhance the removing of Cd2+; (6) Turbidity-causing materials can promote the removal of Cd2+ and turbidity.
