Application note for Mitsubishi MBR membranes in electroplating wastewater treatment plants

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-03-05

As an important part of modern manufacturing, the electroplating industry provides key technical support for many industries. However, with the rapid development of the electroplating industry, the problem of electroplating wastewater treatment has become increasingly prominent. These wastewaters contain a large amount of heavy metal ions and organic matter, which poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. In order to effectively solve the problem of electroplating wastewater treatment, Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology has been widely used in electroplating wastewater treatment plants.

Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology is an advanced membrane bioreactor technology that combines the advantages of traditional activated sludge method and membrane separation technology. It uses a special membrane material that can effectively retain suspended solids and dissolved substances in the wastewater, so as to achieve efficient wastewater treatment. In the electroplating sewage treatment plant, the application of Mitsubishi MBR membrane is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Efficient removal of heavy metal ions.

Electroplating wastewater contains a large number of heavy metal ions, such as copper, nickel, zinc, etc. These heavy metal ions are extremely harmful to the human body and the ecological environment. Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology is able to effectively remove these heavy metal ions through its unique membrane structure and filtration performance. In the membrane filtration process, heavy metal ions are trapped on the membrane surface or in the membrane pores, thereby achieving heavy metal removal in wastewater.

2. Removal of organic matter and nitrogen and phosphorus.

In addition to heavy metal ions, electroplating wastewater also contains a large amount of organic matter and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. These substances can easily lead to eutrophication in wastewater, causing environmental problems such as blooms and red tides. Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology can effectively remove organic matter and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater through the dual action of biodegradation and membrane filtration. In the biodegradation stage, microorganisms in the activated sludge decompose organic matter into carbon dioxide and water; In the membrane filtration stage, the remaining organic matter and nutrients are retained by the membrane to further purify the wastewater.

3. Sludge reduction and recycling.

The traditional activated sludge method is prone to produce a large amount of residual sludge when treating electroplating wastewater, which brings huge pressure to sludge disposal. Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology enables sludge reduction and resource utilization through efficient sludge retention and biodegradation. In the MBR membrane reactor, the sludge age is effectively extended, and the sedimentation and dewatering properties of the sludge are improved. At the same time, the organic matter in the sludge is more fully degraded, which improves the fertilizer efficiency and resource utilization value of the sludge.

Fourth, it occupies a small area and operates stably.

Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology has a high treatment efficiency and compact equipment structure, which makes the floor space of electroplating wastewater treatment plants significantly reduced. In addition, the MBR membrane reactor has good operational stability and is able to adapt to changes in different water quality and treatment needs. In practical applications, Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology has been successfully applied to several electroplating wastewater treatment plants, and has achieved significant environmental and economic benefits.

In conclusion, the application of Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology in electroplating wastewater treatment plants provides an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for electroplating wastewater treatment. Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology provides strong support for the sustainable development of the electroplating industry by removing heavy metal ions, organic matter and nutrients, realizing sludge reduction and resource utilization, as well as small footprint and stable operation. With the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application scope, it is believed that Mitsubishi MBR membrane technology will play a greater role in the field of electroplating wastewater treatment and make greater contributions to environmental protection and human health.
