Want total chromium removal from wastewater to below 0.6 mg/l
July 10, 2009
Hello,
We have an hexavalent chromium treatment plant successfully treating
10 Cu.M/day capacity that converts Cr+6 to Cr+3 on acidification and addition of sodium bisulphite using Oxidation-Reduction Potential meter. Thereafter it is precipitated with lime and settled and overflow liquid is filtered to reduce total chromium level to below
0.6 mgpl. Is it possible to reduce below 0.6 mgpl with some additional technology, etc. Kindly advice. Thanks

Try extending the stirring period and/or lowering the pH in the metabisulfite step; also, add a bit of ferrous sulfate ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] .
