Abstract:
The residual metal content of tightly chelated heavy metal-containing effluents is reduced by carrying out a sulfide precipitation process in the presence of a seed material comprising an added unchelated soluble heavy metal salt, preferably with an adjustment of pH to at least above about 9. 0, with optional variations including passage through a mixed filter media comprising at least two particulate ingredients and regeneration of the used filter media.
