Abstract
A process to remove transition metals from waste water. The process includes the steps of passing waste water to a first pH resin bed, monitoring the effluent from the first resin bed, and adjusting pH to greater than 4. The effluent is passed to a first stage liquid tank and to a first brackish water membrane to filter out complex metals. Rejected effluent from the first brackish water membrane is passed to a second stage liquid tank and thereafter to a second brackish water membrane. The permeate from the second brackish water membrane is passed back to the first stage liquid tank. The rejected effluent from the second brackish water membrane is heated and evaporated. The evaporated effluent is condensed so that metal crystals are gathered for disposal. The permeate through the first brackish membrane is passed to an EDTA resin bed to sequester metal ions. The pH of the discharge from the second pH resin bed is adjusted to between 7 and 11.
