Abstract
An efficient way to synthesize α-FeOOH from pickling wastewater in a falling film tower was proposed for the first time. This method overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional air oxidation method, and its production efficiency is increased by 16 times. The purity of α-FeOOH synthesized from pickling wastewater can reach 96.3%, and the iron recovery rate is greater than 90%. At the same time, we have systematically studied its kinetics in the falling film tower. The reaction rate constant k at different temperatures was also determined with the activation energy Ea = 32.2497 kJ/mol and the pre-exponential A = 47.4132 s–1. In addition, based on the double-film theory, a corresponding macrokinetic model was established. Also, the Hatta number in the reaction system was obtained, which proved the excellent gas–liquid mass transfer performance in the falling film tower. This work provides a promising method for the efficient production of α-FeOOH and the recycling of pickling wastewater.
