| 摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a process for preparing a usable product, in particular a water treatment solution which contains ferric iron, from an impure ferric sulfate solution which contains as an impurity at least one other metal, the process comprising a first precipitation step in which a base is added to the said impure ferric sulfate solution in order to raise the pH to approx. 2-5, preferably approx. 3-4, whereupon ferric hydroxide precipitates; following the first precipitation step, a second precipitation step in which there are added to the solution an oxidant and a base to raise the pH to approx. 6-10, preferably approx. 8-9, whereupon the said impurity metal precipitates; and one or more separation steps to separate from the sulfate solution the solids precipitated in the first and the second precipitation steps; as well as possibly an additional step in which the said separated solids, or a portion thereof, are treated further in order to form a usable product.</p> |
