ABSTRACT:
Aqueous process streams or waste waters destined for merging with public waters sometimes contain deleterious amounts of heavy metals, e.g., lead (Pb) compounds. The heavy metal compounds may be substantially removed or reduced to harmless levels by treating the acidic aqueous streams with chromate or dichromate ions, then heating the solution to oxidize organics and/or heavy metal-organics, then raising the pH to an alkaline pH to precipitate the heavy metal chromate, and separating the heavy metal chromate from the aqueous stream.
