چکیده
QMA, Inc. is located at 1390 Lunt Avenue in Elk Grove Village, IL. The company makes printed wiring boards (PWBs) and employs about 40 people. QMA wanted to reduce the cost of disposing of its wastewater which was being hauled off site. The company also wanted to improve the safety of its workers by eliminating 3,000 gallons of highly acidic wastewater which had to be stored in the plant awaiting disposal. QMA company officials attended a workshop presented by WMRC for the printed wiring board sector and asked WMRC for assistance.

Recovery of Cu(II) by chemical reduction using sodium dithionite.
Wastewaters containing Cu(II) along with ligands are ubiquitous in various industrial sectors. Efficacy of treatment processes for copper removal, especially precipitation, is greatly debilitated by ligands. Chemical reduction being commonly employed for production of metal nanoparticles has also been used for removing copper. Addition of ammonia was reported to be essential for improving coppe...
متن کاملA Two-step Reduction of Color and Phenols from Paper Industry Wastewater using Copper Sulfate and Pseudomonas putida
In the present work, a two-step sequential method employing copper sulfate (CuSO4) and Pseudomonas putida as treatment materials was investigated to remove color and phenols from paper industry wastewater. The wastewater was first subjected to precipitation treatment using CuSO4, which removed 96% and 52% of initial color and phenols, respectively. However, this treatment induced 65 mgL of resi...
