  • Process for treating wastewater containing fat and heavy metal ions
    Patent number: 4462913
    Abstract: Heavy metal pollutant ions and emulsified fat are removed from a wastewater stream in a two-stage process. The first stage involves the demulsification and removal of fat through the use of chemical emulsion breakers leaving residual fat in suspension and in solution. The second stage involves the preparation and introduction of a calcium sulfide mixture to the wastewater resulting in the precipitation of the heavy metal ions as sulfides and the precipitation of residual fat.
