The paper presents the results of a pilot-scale study investigating the efficiency of an ion exchange resin system in the removal of Ni, Hg, and Cr from flue gas desulphurisation wastewater, in the presence of competitive metals such as Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, and Mn. The core part of the ion exchange installation consisted of two columns that were filled with ion exchange resin with iminodiacetic functional groups (Purolite S930) and one column filled with resin with isothiouronium functional groups (Purolite S920). The results showed that Ni, Hg, and Cr were almost completely removed from the wastewater with nearly 100% efficiency. Purolite S930 almost totally removed Ni, reducing its content from 89.3 ± 35 μg dm |
