“…Anyway, presence of other substances in the wastewater would interfere with the actual speciation of arsenic, for example the presence of iron. Some early ED work has shown the possibility to separate copper from synthetic smelter wastewaters, where copper was in excess to arsenic (Cifuentes et al, 2002). In real wastewaters the arsenic content is higher than copper.…”

An actual Chilean copper smelter wastewater treatment is a complex process that actually mostly is focused on fulfillment of threshold values more than sustainability. The actual wastewater treatment includes a number of precipitation, neutralization, clarifying and filtering steps. This manuscript proposes a new sustainable process that would eliminate/reduce several of the disadvantages in an actual copper wastewater treatment such as a) reduced lime addition, b) a separate gypsum and heavy metal/arsenic precipitation, c) an electrodialysis stage that would recover copper, d) an easier ferric ion dosage for arsenic removal by electrocoagulation, and e) a less reagent consuming neutralization step.

“…3 (B)), desde ST hacia el compartimento catiónico (CC), aumenta linealmente con la densidad de corriente aplicada. Este comportamiento lineal de la velocidad de transporte con i es característica de los procesos electro dialíticos [11][12][13][14] . El aumento del contenido de As (V) y Cu (II), en el compartimento aniónico y catiónico, respectivamente, se debe a la diferencia de potencial aplicado al sistema, el cual actúa como fuerza motriz para la migración de iones desde un sitio a otro.…”

The transport of As (V) oxianions was modeled through the boundary layer generated between the bulk of an acidic As (V) electrolyte and the surface of an anionic exchange membrane during a batch electro dialysis process without agitation. The model was adapted from one developed for the transport of Cu (II) ions in the Nernst layer under the same hydrodynamic and electric conditions. The model shows the flux of oxianions in terms of the difference between the transport number of As (V) in the boundary layer and in the membrane as a function of the current density. The model approaches to the experimental data when the transport number in the boundary layer is 1.5×10 -4 and 1.5×10 -5 for As (V)-H 2 SO 4 and As (V)-Cu (II)-H 2 SO 4 electrolytes, respectively. The validation of the model was made with published data of As (V) transport.

This paper presents an alternative process for the conventional zinc electrowinning, which consists of a cell of two compartments separated by a anion exchange membrane.One of them contains a zinc sulphate catholyte and sulfuric acid while the anolyte solution contains ferrous sulfate and sulfuric acid.By using a membrane the classical lead anode may be replaced, as well as the main oxidation reaction of water, for that of the ferrous ion to ferric ion.This leads to significant savings in specific energy consumption of the overall process and eliminates the classic problem of acid mist in electrowinning cells.The results show that the proposed process consumes 30% less cell potential compared to conventional electrowinning cell.
