A method for treatment of hexavalent chromium compounds in waste water originating from processing of metals.

摘要

The invention relates to a method for treating hexavalent chromium compounds occurring in effluents originating from the treatment of metals. In this method, hexavalent chromium compounds are reduced in acid conditions, and then the chromium hydroxide is precipitated by adding a base to the solution, and the sludge-like precipitate thus formed is concentrated by pressure-filtering to a high solid matter content. After this, the chromium hydroxide is dehumidified, heated to form amorphous chromium oxide, and the amorphous chromium oxide is heated to form crystalline chromium oxide.
