Abstract: A method and device for separating and recovering heavy metal ions through membrane-forming mineralization fixation, applicable in the domain of acid wastewater treatment containing heavy metal ions. The process involves mixing composite mineral particles with heavy metal acidic wastewater, then conducting a first hydration reaction under static conditions. This leads to adsorption, precipitation, and crystallization of heavy metal ions in the wastewater via a colloidal liquid membrane, resulting in particles coated with a mineralized membrane. These particles exhibit a gap between the mineralized membrane and their core. The next step is to separate these coated particles and recover them. The preparation of composite mineral particles involves mixing sodium carbonate/sodium silicate, bentonite, carbide slag, and water, followed by a second hydration reaction and subsequent granulation, aging, and dehydration condensation. The particle sizes of both bentonite and carbide slag are maintained at ?74 m.
