  • Publication number: 20240060153
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a strain of Acidomyces acidothermus and its application in leaching copper-containing pollutants from waste circuit boards, belonging to the technical field of bio-leaching. According to the present disclosure, a strain of A. acidothermus is separated from the sludge of a Changzhou sewage treatment plant; and the strain can normally grow under an acidic condition, and copper contained in a system can be leached out in a form of copper ions by adding the strain into waste or pollutants containing heavy metal copper, so that the metal copper in the waste or pollutants is effectively treated. The treatment process is simple, the requirements for the environment and the technology are low, and the treated waste liquid does not contain high-concentration chemical reagents, which facilitates subsequent waste liquid treatment; and therefore, the A. acidothermus is suitable for industrial application.

  • Publication number: 20230365426
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for preparing cuprous chloride by high-value utilization of chloride ion-containing wastewater, belonging to the field of wastewater treatment. According to the disclosure, wastewater containing chloride ions is taken, and the pH is maintained at 2 to 3.5. Cuprous oxide is added by 50 to 80% of a theoretical amount of the cuprous oxide according to a Cl? concentration for reaction 8 to 15 min. Centrifugation is performed to obtain crude cuprous chloride and supernatant. Cuprous oxide is added to the resulting supernatant for reaction 8 to 15 min, and a total of cuprous oxide added in two reactions accounts for 90 to 100% of the theoretical amount. Centrifugation is performed after the reaction to obtain crude cuprous chloride. According to the method of the disclosure, the amount of cuprous oxide used is greatly reduced, and the purity of the cuprous chloride is improved.
