A m e t h o d comprising flowing pressurized w a t e r including a precipitate through a substantially t u b u l a r semipermeable membrane comprising sub-micron filt r a t i o n media and h a v i n g an i n n e r surface and an outer surface, w h e r e i n the flow of the water is turbulent; and collecting a filtrate from the outer surface of the m e m b r a n e , w h e r e i n the filtrate contains a concentration of dissolved precipitate below the solubility limit of the precipitate.
A process for s e p a r a t i n g and recovering m e t a l s from acidic waste streams comprising adding a complexing agent to cause metals to precipitate in the form of a sludge, said complexing agent being a mixture of water, an inorganic base, and a thiocarbamate or dithiocarbamate selected from the group consisting of sodium d i m e t h y l d i t h i o c a r b a m a t e , zinc d i m e t h y l d i t h i o c a r b a m a t e , and mixture thereof; dewatering and drying the sludge to a substantially anhydrous state; and melting to recover the metals therefrom.
