Ion exchange system design for removal of heavy metals from acid mine drainage wastewater
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the methodology used to determine the optimal ion-exchange column size to process all separate batches of feeds from acid mine drainage wastewater. The optimal design ensures the best utilization of resin material and therefore results in a minimum amount of spent resins. Ion exchanger materials have been studied for removing heavy metals from a metal bearing wastes. For the current treatment, a facility has been designed for the removal of heavy metals from the acid mine drainage (AMD) waste by the ion-exchange technology.

متن کاملRemoval of Copper Ions from Acid Mine Drainage Wastewater Using Ion Exchange Technique: Factorial Design Analysis
A factorial experimental design method was used to examine the “Cu” removal from acid mine drainage wastewater by ion exchange technique. Ion Exchange technique is preferred because of reduced sludge generation compared to conventional treatment techniques and better decontamination efficiency from highly diluted solutions. Factorial design of experiments is employed to study the effect of four...
