Advantages
Wastewater from metal finishing
industries contains high concentrations
of contaminants which are hazardous to
the environment and pose potential
health risks to the public. With
increasingly stringent regulations
governing wastewater discharge and
greater quantities of wastewater being
produced, there is a growing need for
more efficient and cost-effective
methods to remove heavy metals. In
accordance with the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), as
required by the Clean Water Act, metal
finishers are required to pre-treat
their wastewater prior to releasing it
to municipal sewers or surface waters.
With the greater quantities of
wastewater being produced and discharge
limits being lowered, there is a need
for more efficient processes to remove
heavy metals. Heavy metals, in
particular, are of great concern because
of their toxicity to human and other
biological life. Heavy metals typically
present in metal finishing wastewater
are cadmium, chromium, copper, lead,
nickel, silver, tin, and zinc.
