Title: Liquid wastes and industrial sludge. New investigation fields to recycle metals

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20014808

The aim of this work is to propose some alternatives to the landfilling of metallic hydroxide sludge coming from the classical physico-chemical treatment of liquid wastes containing metallic cations. A downstream treatment was investigated. It consists of a selective leaching of filter-press cakes. This chemical treatment allows the elimination of toxic metals from the sludge and produces an inertized residue. An upstream treatment was studied: the selective precipitation of metallic cations. In this case, it is possible to obtain zinc sulfide and iron oxide. These products meet the acceptance conditions for the zinc and steel industry.
