The pilot-scale equipment, technological process and results are described in this paper. Two kinds of wastewater with a high concentration of chromium were tested : one from a color coating line ; the other from a silicon steel line. The removal effect of Cr^6+ , T-Cr and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in wastewater was studied. The results showed that this microbial treatment technology could be used to treat the above two kinds of chromium-containing wastewater. The average concentrations of Cr^6+ in the color coating line effluent and the silicon steel line effluent were 0.02 mg/L and 0.04 mg/L respectively, and the average concentrations of T-Cr in the effluents were 0.71 mg/L and 0.74 mg/L respectively. Both were lower than the Sewage Discharge Standard (Cr^6+ 〈 0.5 mg/L,T-Cr 〈 1.5 mg/L). Furthermore, up to 60% of the COD was removed from chromate wastewater containing a high concentration COD ( 〉 3 g/L). The removal rate of COD was lower than 25% for chromate wastewater containing a low concentration COD ( 〈 3 g/L). Adding a flocculating agent was one of the effective ways of improving the COD removal rate from chromium-containing wastewater.展开更多

As shown by the research results, after the two-stage process treatment, the effluent water can steadily reach the emission standards, the sludge yield can be decreased by more than 8% ; within the heavy metal-contained sludge, the recovery rates of Fc,Cr and Ni can either reach or surpass 95% ,and the total content ofF and S can drop to around 3%. Therefore,the sludge in the front part can be used as ferric dust. In the calcium salt sludge ,the recovery rate of F can either reach or surpass 85% ,and the total contents of Fe,Cr and Ni can fall below 0.5%. So the sludge in the rear part can be used as fluorgypsum or fluorite. Meanwhile,the results of the analysis on heavy metals leaching toxicity and morphologic distribution indicate that the two kinds of sectionalized sludge are not classified as hazardous wastes, which have a stable behavior and better utilization values compared with the former mixed- sludge.展开更多

As a result,investment and running costs are lowered,emissions of the waste emulsion are reduced,waste water treatment costs are reduced and so as the environmental pollution.It can be seen the second generation vacuum filter has obvious economic and environmental benefits.Therefor,it suggests that the filter should be used widely in the field of automotive,environmental protection rolling steel and nonferrous metals.展开更多

Experi-ments show that micro cracks occur after cold rolling process and this is attributed to various parameters, for instance, the thin oxide film formed at the sheet surface. The micro crack spacing thus becomes an important parameter which deserves more concerns. The aspect ratio of these micro cracks is then analyzed theoreti-cally, which takes into consideration of the oxide fracture process. The good agreement between the obser-vations and the theoretical predictions validates the analysis. The approach can shed some new lights on the mechanical process of aluminium sheet during cold rolling.展开更多

This study analyzed the fomation mechanism of 'toil-burn" defects and the strategies to prevent them,and proposed, according to the equipment and process status in the production fields ,some relevant optimized control measures and process adjustment schemes from two perspectives of reducing the residual emulsion trod avoiding the specific temperature range. The results demonstrate that the application of the proposed optimization meastu'es effectively inhibits the formation of "oil-bum" defects.展开更多

The former was put forward firstly and the latter was applied initially in this field. The operation conditions and mechanisms of each module in the integrated processes were analyzed and the influences of operational parameters of two processes on chemical oxygen demand (CODCr) removal efficiency were comparatively investigated. The test results showed that the ultimate water quality from the two processes after treatment could meet the requirement for reuse.However, the quality of effluent treated by GEM—ECO—MBR was more stable than that of UF—ECO—MBR.展开更多
