In the field of nonferrous metal research, laboratory wastewater treatment is not only related to the compliance bottom line, but also an 'invisible project' closely related to research progress. As the core force of domestic aluminum and nonferrous metal material R&D, Chinalco Nonferrous Metals Research Institute undertakes cutting-edge scientific research tasks such as composition analysis, metallurgical performance testing and new material development on a daily basis. The generated wastewater contains strongly acidic digestion liquid, trace heavy-metal ions and organic extractants, with complex composition and significant hazards, putting forward industry-level requirements for the accuracy and reliability of the purification process that are much higher than ordinary laboratories.

At the same time, the institute's scientific research continues uninterrupted throughout the year, and the frequency of wastewater discharge is dense. The newly installed equipment must achieve efficient, stable and fully automatic operation in a small installation space. Any abnormal shutdown may interrupt key testing progress. Facing these professional challenges, the institute introduced AiKe AK-SYFS-PJ series integrated laboratory wastewater treatment equipment with a daily treatment capacity of 300 liters. With its compact and intensive design, fully automatic intelligent control and multiple safety protection mechanisms, it builds a solid environmental defense line for the nonferrous metal scientific research scenario. On the day the equipment installation and commissioning were completed, AiKe's engineering team immediately conducted systematic training for the institute's operation and maintenance personnel to ensure that the new equipment is quickly integrated into the scientific research and production rhythm.

I. Analysis of Laboratory Wastewater Treatment Difficulties

The Chinalco Nonferrous Metals Research Institute located in Zhengzhou, Henan, undertakes core scientific research tasks such as composition analysis, metallurgical performance testing and new material R&D of aluminum and other nonferrous metals on a daily basis, and its laboratory wastewater treatment has special industry difficulties distinct from ordinary colleges and universities.
First, the wastewater components are highly professional. The testing process generates mixed wastewater containing trace heavy-metal ions, strongly acidic digestion waste liquid and organic extraction reagents. The pollutant concentration fluctuates greatly, and the requirements for the precise purification capability of the equipment are much higher than general scenarios.
Second, as the core scientific research platform of Chinalco, the laboratory's scientific research tasks continue uninterrupted throughout the year, and the frequency of wastewater discharge is high. The requirements for the continuous operation stability and fault self-diagnosis capability of the newly installed equipment are strict, and scientific research and testing progress cannot be interrupted by equipment abnormalities.

Third, the equipment has a daily treatment capacity of 300L, belonging to a small integrated model. It must adapt to the limited installation space of the research institute's laboratory, meet the discharge requirements of the nonferrous metal industry that are stricter than ordinary standards, and at the same time the in-house environmental operation and maintenance team needs to quickly master the operation logic of the new equipment to avoid the disconnection of operation and maintenance coordination later.

II. AiKe Completes On-site Installation and Commissioning of Wastewater Treatment Equipment for Chinalco Nonferrous Metals Research Institute

AiKe's engineering technical team rushed to Chinalco Nonferrous Metals Research Institute in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, to complete the on-site installation, whole-machine commissioning and delivery training of the AK-SYFS-PJ series laboratory wastewater treatment equipment, helping the nonferrous material scientific research laboratory achieve compliant disposal of experimental wastewater.

The institute mainly carries out nonferrous metal material analysis, physical and chemical testing, new material R&D and other scientific research work. The laboratory wastewater contains various acid-base reagents, multiple heavy-metal ions, inorganic salts and a small amount of organic solvents. The water composition is complex, and the wastewater treatment equipment has high requirements for heavy-metal removal and pH regulation. The newly installed equipment has a daily treatment capacity of 300L, an integrated design, compact footprint, adapts to the equipment-room placement conditions of scientific research laboratories, and its fully automatic operation mode can match the intermittent drainage conditions of laboratories.

On-site engineers completed equipment positioning, pipe connection and circuit layout, verified neutralization, sedimentation, adsorption and other treatment units item by item, carried out water-pass commissioning, and repeatedly calibrated various operating parameters to ensure stable operation of the whole machine. At the same time, they conducted hands-on training for the institute's scientific research and management personnel, explaining the equipment operation process and basic inspection points. The commissioning sampling test showed that the outlet indicators met the relevant national wastewater discharge standards. AiKe's standardized on-site installation and delivery service builds an environmental compliance barrier for nonferrous metal scientific research.
