2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of treating fluorine in waste water of this kind, a mixed solution of soluble salts of aluminum and sodium, which has been mixed in advance, is added to the waste water containing fluorine in a reaction equivalent amount, and ice is added. Orylite: N
a ₃ AlF ₆ ), the cryolite is separated and removed, and calcium fluoride (cal) is added in the waste water containing residual fluorine.
There is known a method for producing oium fluoride: CaF ₂ (see Japanese Patent Application Nos. 3-35004 and 3-35005).

In the above-mentioned conventional example, the addition amount of the soluble salt mixture of aluminum and sodium to be added is
The concentration of fluorine in the wastewater was measured by the neutralization titration method, and the result was used for determination (hereinafter, this method is called cryolite method).

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional cryolite method,
The addition amount of the chemical agent necessary for the production of cryolite was determined based on the result of measuring the fluorine concentration in the waste water, and thus the operation of determining the addition amount of the chemical agent was complicated.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for fluorine treatment by producing cryolite, which facilitates the operation of determining the amount of added chemicals.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, in the method for treating fluorine in waste water according to the present invention, a mixed solution of aluminum and sodium soluble salts in the waste water containing fluorine in a reaction equivalent amount. Is a method of treating fluorine in wastewater to form separable cryolite in the wastewater, wherein the reaction equivalence of the mixed solution necessary for the production of cryolite is determined by It is performed while detecting the change in conductivity.

Further, a mixed solution of soluble salts of aluminum and sodium is gradually added, and the addition of the mixed solution is terminated when the minimum point of electric conductivity is detected.

[0008]

[Function] When producing cryolite in waste water containing fluorine, aluminum and sodium to be added must be in a reaction equivalent amount. When the mixed solution of aluminum and sodium-soluble salts was gradually added while measuring the electrical conductivity of waste water containing fluorine with a pH meter, the pH of the solution gradually increased with the formation of cryolite. The pH becomes minimal and the pH becomes a minimum when the reaction solution of the mixed solution of soluble salts is added. In addition, the residual fluorine ion concentration also changes, and p
It is the lowest at the point where H becomes a minimum. That is, the amount of addition of the mixed solution of aluminum and sodium-soluble salts is determined by measuring the change in the electric conductivity in the reaction tank using a pH meter and detecting the point where the pH becomes a minimum.

While the solution mixed at a ratio of 0: 480 was gradually added to the fluorine-containing wastewater 1, the electrical conductivity of the fluorine-containing wastewater 1 was measured with a pH meter 4. The pH of the mixed solution was 3.5. With the addition of the mixed solution, the pH of the fluorine-containing wastewater 1 in the reaction tank 1 gradually decreased, and became the minimum at pH 3.7.

As described above, according to the present invention, a mixture of aluminum and sodium soluble salts in a reaction equivalent amount is added to the fluorine-containing wastewater by utilizing the change in electric conductivity in the treatment reactor. Since the cryolite is produced by the above method, it is very easy to determine the amount of the drug at the stage of producing the cryolite, and there is an advantage that a complicated control device is not required.
