DESTRUCTION OF CYANIDE WASTES BY ELECTROLYTIC CHLORINATION
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4352934
Cyanide wastes can be treated by saturating with NaCl and electrolytically generating chlorine within the waste solution. The cyanide is destroyed at the rate of 0.08 to 0.10 lb per kwh. The cost of raw materials (salt and powder) is relatively low, and laboratony tests indicate that virtually complete destruction of cyanide could be achieved at a significantly lower operating cost than by direct addition of chlorine gas or hypochlorites. In addition, most plating metals can be recovered on the cathode and there are no sludge disposal problems. (auth)
