Working Principles of Heavy Metal Chromium Remover

 Working Principles of Heavy Metal Chromium Remover

Heavy metal chromium removal agent is a chemical specialized in the treatment of chromium containing wastewater, mainly used in the field of industrial wastewater treatment, especially in those industries that produce chromium containing wastewater, such as electroplating, tanning, printing and dyeing and some chemical production processes. This agent is designed to remove chromium ions from wastewater, especially the harmful hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)), because the hexavalent chromium is highly oxidized and toxic, and poses a serious threat to the environment and human health.

They may also contain organic complex agents, usually containing groups capable of forming stable complexes with chromium ions, such as carboxyl (-COOH), amino (-NH2), and hydroxyl (-OH). These groups are able to act through chelation, which contributes to the precipitation efficiency of chromium ions. Complagents sites with metal ions to form a stable complexation structure, thus promoting the precipitation or flocculation of metal ions, so that chromium ions can be separated from wastewater.

The working principle of chromium remover can be summarized as follows:

1. Reduction treatment: For hexavalent chromium, it can be converted into a less toxic trivalent chromium (Cr (III)) by adding a reducing agent.

2. Precipitation removal: by adjusting the pH value or other chemical treatment, the trivalent chromium forms chromium hydroxide precipitation, so as to separate from the wastewater.

3. Chelation: Specific chemical groups in the chromium remover can form stable complexes with chromium ions, promote the precipitation or flocculation process, and help remove chromium from wastewater.

In practical applications, chromium removal agents usually contain multiple chemical components to improve treatment efficiency and adapt to different wastewater conditions. When used, the optimal use dose and treatment process should be determined according to the specific situation of the wastewater, such as the concentration of chromium ions, the pH value of the wastewater and the presence of other pollutants.
