Abstract:
:One of the main challenges in industrial wastewater treatment and recovery is the removal of sulfate, which usually coexists with Ca2+ and Mg2+. The effect of Mg2+ on sulfate removal by ettringite precipitation was investigated, and the process was optimized in the absence and presence of Mg2+. In the absence of Mg2+, the optimum conditions with sulfate removal of 99.7% were obtained at calcium-to-sulfate ratio of 3.20, aluminum-to-sulfate ratio of 1.25 and pH of 11.3 using response surface methodology. In the presence of Mg2+, sulfate removal efficiency decreased with increasing Mg2+ concentration, and the inhibitory effect of Mg2+ matched the competitive inhibition Monod model with half maximum inhibition concentration of 57.4 mmol/L. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses of precipitates revealed that ettringite was converted to hydrotalcite-type (HT) compound in the presence of Mg2+. The morphology of precipitates was transformed from prismatic crystals to stacked layered crystals, which confirmed that Mg2+ competes with Ca2+ for Al3+ to form HT compound. A two-stage process was designed with Mg2+ removal before ettringite precipitation to eliminate the inhibitory effect, and is potential to realize sludge recovery at the same time of effective removal of sulfate and hardness.
