Celdar® Technology
Fluorides removal in lithium battery recovery industry
Location: NORTH EUROPE
PRODUCED WASTEWATER: 40 cubic meter/hour
Typical problems in wastewater: High Fluorides, Sulphates, COD
TREATMENT PRINCIPLES AND AIMS
To design a wastewater treatment plant, the customer asked us to evaluate the ELECTROCOAGULATION for the removal of Fluorides, to be able to avoid corrosion phenomena in installed electrical and mechanical
Another option required was the ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE and therefore the possibility of reusing the treated water with the least amount of consumption possible.
This option is possible using an ELECTROCOAGULATION PLANT since no chemicals are used and therefore the physical and chemical characteristics of the water to be treated have little variation compared to the treated water.
The obtained results and working conditions are below
