Abstract EN
Electroplating copper industry was discharged huge amount wastewater and cause serious environmental and health damage in Taiwan.
This research applied electrical copper recovery system to recover copper metal.
In this work, electrotreatment of a industrial copper wastewater ([Cu] = 30000 mg L−1) was studied with titanium net coated with a thin layer of RuO2/IrO2 (DSA) reactor.
The optimal result for simulated copper solution was 99.9% copper recovery efficiency in current density 0.585 A/dm2 and no iron ion.
Due to high concentration of iron and chloride ions in real industrial wastewater, the copper recovery efficiency was down to 60%.
Although, the copper recovery efficiency was not high as simulated copper solution, high environmental economic value was included in the technology.
The possibility of pretreating the wastewater with iron is the necessary step, before the electrical recovery copper system.
