چکیده

در مطالعه حاضر، فرآیند انعقاد الکتروشیمیایی (الکتروکواگولاسیون) در صنایع معدنی به‌منظور حذف یکی از فلزات سنگین، کادمیوم، از محلول باردار لیچینگ کارخانه فرآوری مس، موردبررسی قرارگرفت. روش سطح پاسخ (RSM) برای بهینه‌سازی عوامل مؤثر بر حذف این فلز، در فرآیند الکتروکواگولاسیون، استفاده شد. بدین منظور جهت بهینه‌سازی آزمایش‌ها، از طرح آزمایش باکس بنکن (BBD) استفاده شد. تأثیرات سه پارامتر مستقل مانند pH (X1)، زمان الکترولیز (X2)، چگالی جریان (X3) به‌منظور بررسی حذف کادمیوم از محلول باردار لیچینگ بررسی شد. از مدل درجه دوم برای پاسخ راندمان حذف کادمیوم استفاده شد. مهم‌ترین متغیرهای مستقل و تعامل بین آن‌ها با استفاده از آزمون ANOVA ارزیابی شد. این پژوهش نشان داد که شرایط عملیاتی بهینه حذف کادمیوم 96/96% در pH اولیه: 83/6، زمان الکترولیز: min 116 و چگالی جریان: A/m262/می­باشد.. نتایج نشان داد که قابلیت فرآیند الکتروکواگولاسیون می­تواند به‌عنوان یک روش قابل‌اطمینان به‌منظور حذف کادمیوم از پساب­های صنعتی به‌ویژه در کارخانه‌های فرآوری مواد معدنی در نظر گرفته شود.

چکیده [English]

In the present study, the electrochemical coagulation process (electrocoagulation) in the mining industry was investigated in order to remove one of the heavy metals, cadmium, from the leaching solution of the copper processing plant. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the factors affecting the removal of this metal in the electrocoagulation process. For this purpose, Behnken Box Designv(BBD)  was used to optimize the experiments. The effects of three independent parameters such as pH (X1), electrolysis time (X2), current density (X3) were investigated in order to investigate the removal of cadmium from the leaching solution. The quadratic model was used to respond to the cadmium removal efficiency. The most important independent variables and the interaction between them were evaluated using ANOVA test. This study showed that the optimal operating conditions for cadmium removal are 96.96% at initial pH: 6.83, electrolysis time: 116 min and current density: 69.262 A/m2. The results showed that the ability of electrocoagulation process can be considered as a reliable method to remove cadmium from industrial effluents, especially in mineral processing plants.
