The feasibility of copper recovery by induced crystallization in a long period (174 days) was investigated in a seeded fluidized bed reactor (FBR).The process was divided into 3 periodsaccording to different influent conditions,and the period Ⅲ was separated into Ⅲ-a and Ⅲ-b due to the adjustment of the molar ratio of CO23-concentration to copper concentration ([CT]/[Cu2+]).The removal efficiency could exceed 95％ and the average effluent copper concentration decreased to 3.0 mg/L.The mean particle size of seed grains with copper crystals coating on,raised to 0.36 mm from initial 0.18 mm.During period Ⅲ-a,the supersaturation exceeded 2.88 × 104,the removal efficiency decreased to 60％-80％ and the particle size dropped to 0.30 mm,due to the generation of fines by homogeneous crystallization and seeds breaking.And the morphology of the crystals on the seed grains changed from rod-like to spherical which lead to the particle size decreasing.In period Ⅲ-b,the supersaturation was modified by adjusting the molar ratio of [CT]/[Cu2+] to 1.2 from 2.The efficiency was back to 95％ and the mean particle size grew to 0.36 mm at the end of Ⅲ-b,the crystals coating on the seeds ted back to rod-like products of good stability.This study illustrated that the copper salt crystal could keep on growing on the seed grains for over 150 days,the feasibility and controllability of copper recovery by induced crystallization process in FBR were satisfactory,even under the dramatic changes in influent conditions.
