[0002] High-salinity wastewater refers to wastewater with a total salt content of not less than 1%, and the mass fraction of total dissolved solids and organic matter is usually not less than 3.5%. High-salinity wastewater has a wide range of sources and complex components. For example, coal gasification washing wastewater, circulating water system drainage, and reverse osmosis concentrated water in the production process of coal chemical industry have the characteristics of high suspended solids content, high total dissolved solids content, high hardness, and high alkalinity; wet desulfurization wastewater, cooling water, and washing wastewater in the production process of metallurgical and electroplating industry have the characteristics of high heavy metal content, high ammonia nitrogen and hardness, high organic matter content, and high acid and alkalinity; chemical synthesis pharmaceutical wastewater, antibiotic pharmaceutical wastewater, and traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical wastewater in the production process of pharmaceutical industry have the characteristics of high suspended solids content, high organic matter content, and high inorganic salt content; washing water, soaking liquid, extraction liquid, and waste electrolyte in the production and recovery process of new energy battery industry have the characteristics of high heavy metal content, high organic matter content, and high ammonia nitrogen and acid and alkalinity. The metal ions existing in large quantities in high-salinity wastewater include Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Fe 2+ , Mn 2+ , Ni 2+ , etc., which are extremely harmful to the ecological environment and human health. Separation and recovery of metal ions in high-salinity wastewater are of great significance to solving water resource shortage and environmental pollution problems.
[0003] After pretreatment to remove suspended solids, oils, and organic matter, high-salinity wastewater is generally separated by the method of concentration and desalination + crystallization solidification.

[0057] Example 1
[0058] observe Figures 1-7 As can be seen, this embodiment provides a metal ion micro-interface induced crystallization separation device for high-salt wastewater, including a cylinder 100. Inside the cylinder 100, from bottom to top, are arranged a fluid mixing zone 110, a circulating granulation zone 120, and a particle separation zone 130. The scientific arrangement of these three zones enables the stable removal of metal ions from high-salt wastewater, the circulating fluidized bed induced crystallization of seed particles, and the efficient desludge removal and separation recovery of mature crystal particles.
[0059] observe Figure 1It can be seen that the fluid mixing zone 110 includes a water inlet pipe 111 arranged at the bottom end of the cylinder body 100 for high-salt wastewater to enter, and a liquid anti-vortex device 117 is arranged at the water outlet 1314 of the water inlet pipe 111. From bottom to top of the cylinder body 100, a feed pipe 114, a liquid inlet pipe 113 and a seed crystal pipe 112 are arranged in sequence. The alkali solution enters from the liquid inlet pipe 113 arranged on the right side of the cylinder body 100, the acidic gas enters from the feed pipe 114 arranged on the left side of the cylinder body 100, and the high-salt wastewater enters from the bottom of the cylinder body 100. The three react in the fluid mixing zone 110, the metal ions and the non-metal ions or ion groups generated by the reaction are enriched on the surface of the seed crystal, and further reaction generates a compound with low solubility to obtain crystalline particles.
[0060] In combination Figure 1 And Figure 2 、 Figure 3 It can be seen that the cylinder body 100 is internally provided with a gas-liquid distributor 115, and the gas-liquid distributor 115 is located below the feed pipe 114. The gas-liquid distributor 115 is communicated with a gas inlet pipe 116 penetrating through one side wall of the cylinder body 100 for nitrogen to enter. The gas-liquid distributor 115 includes a low-speed area 1151 close to the inner side wall of the cylinder body 100, a high-speed area 1152 wrapped inside the low-speed area 1151, and a gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153 helping the low-speed area 1151 and the high-speed area 1152 to be arranged in the cylinder body 100. The gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153 can serve as a support plate for the crystalline particles, and the gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153 is penetrated by the gas inlet pipe 116. The high-speed nitrogen gas enters the gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153 from the gas inlet pipe 116, is buffered in the gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153, and then enters the inside of the cylinder body 100 from the multiple porous gas nozzles 1193 1154 on the side of the top of the cylinder body 100. The multiple porous gas nozzles 1193 1154 can uniformly distribute a gas flow into multiple angle dispersed gas flows, which can be used for uniform distribution of high-speed nitrogen gas flow.
[0061] The high-speed area 1152 is alternately provided with multiple porous gas nozzles 1193 1154 on the side of the top of the cylinder body 100 close to the gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153 and multiple high-speed liquid distributors 1152a penetrating through the gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153. Each high-speed liquid distributor 1152a includes a lower recess 1152b located on the side of the top of the cylinder body 100 close to the gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153, multiple gas-liquid two-phase outlets 1155 are arranged on both sides of the lower recess 1152b, and the lower recess 1152b and the gas-liquid distribution tower plate 1153 form a channel for high-salt wastewater to enter.
[0062] The low-speed zone 1151 is alternately provided with a plurality of porous gas nozzles 1193 1154 on the side of the gas-liquid distribution tray 1153 close to the top of the cylinder 100 and a plurality of low-speed liquid distributors 1151a penetrating the gas-liquid distribution tray 1153. Each low-speed liquid distributor 1151a includes an upper protrusion 1151b on the side of the gas-liquid distribution tray 1153 close to the top of the cylinder 100, and a plurality of gas-liquid two-phase outlets 1155 are arranged on both sides of the upper protrusion 1151b, and the upper protrusion 1151b and the gas-liquid distribution tray 1153 form a channel for high-salinity wastewater to enter. The low-speed liquid distributor 1151a adopts a protruding annular gap design, which increases the kinetic energy loss of the water flow passing through; while the high-speed liquid distributor 1152a adopts a recessed annular gap design, which reduces the kinetic energy loss of the water flow passing through, and the effective combination of the two enables the water flow to be distributed at different speeds into the upper space of the gas-liquid distributor 115. In addition, through the differential arrangement of the low-speed liquid distributor 1151a and the high-speed liquid distributor 1152a, the outside of the tangent plane of the cylinder 100 is the low-speed zone 1151 and the inside is the high-speed zone 1152, which promotes more seed particles to enter the circulating granulation zone 120 and controls the flow direction of the circulating granulation seed particles.
[0063] In combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 It can be seen that the circulating granulation zone 120 includes a fluidization zone 121 arranged inside the cylinder 100 and a circulating zone 122 arranged between the fluidization zone 121 and the side wall of the cylinder 100. The fluidization zone 121 includes a lower flow guide ring 1211, a lower fluidization zone 1212, an upper fluidization zone 1213, and an upper flow guide ring 1214 arranged in the direction from the bottom to the top of the cylinder 100 in sequence, and the diameter of the lower fluidization zone 1212 in the transverse direction is smaller than that of the upper fluidization zone 1213. The diameter of the upper fluidization zone 1213 is larger, which can help to increase the cross-sectional area of the flow passage and provide more sufficient reaction space for the crystalline particles; at the same time, it can weaken the drag force of the fluid on the seed particles and prolong the residence time of the crystalline particles in the upper fluidization zone 1213. The lower flow guide ring 1211 is an open ring with the opening facing outward, forming a larger feeding area, which can control the upward moving crystalline particles to preferentially enter the lower fluidization zone 1212; while the upper flow guide ring 1214 is an open ring with the opening facing inward, which reduces the probability of crystalline particles falling back to the fluidization zone 121 and increases the probability of falling back to the circulating zone 122, which is beneficial to the seed particles rising to the junction of the circulating granulation zone 120 and the particle separation zone 130 to accelerate the falling back to the circulating zone 122, thereby improving the circulating crystallization efficiency.
[0064] After the crystalline particles grow completely, the high-salinity wastewater in the water inlet pipe 111 is switched to clean water, and the alkali and acidic gas are stopped, and nitrogen is introduced into the fluid mixing zone 110. The nitrogen gas collected in the lower part of the cylinder 100 sends the mature crystalline particles to the particle separation zone 130. As Figure 7As shown, the three-phase separator 131 in the particle separation zone 130 separates nitrogen, wastewater, and mature crystalline particles. The three-phase separator 131 includes a feed cylinder 1311 and guide vanes 1312 disposed within the feed cylinder 1311 to aid in the separation of nitrogen, wastewater, and mature crystalline particles. A discharge pipe 1313, penetrating the side wall of the cylinder 100, is connected to the lower end of the feed cylinder 1311. A solenoid valve 1313a is installed on the discharge pipe 1313. An outlet 1314, penetrating the side wall of the cylinder 100, is located above the feed cylinder 1311. An exhaust pipe 1315, penetrating the top of the cylinder 100 and positioned opposite the inlet pipe 111, is also located above the feed cylinder 1311. The guide vanes 1312 are arranged in a ring around the inside of the feed cylinder 1311 to ensure that the generated swirling shear field meets the separation requirements.
[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, after the crystalline particles with attached sludge particles enter the feed cylinder 1311 along with the multiphase mixture, the fluid is twisted and generates a swirling shear field when passing through the guide vane 1312. The mature crystalline particles and sludge particles generate revolution and rotation in the flow field. The revolution can separate the mature crystalline particles and sludge particles in the multiphase mixture, and the rotation can help the mature crystalline particles and the sludge particles attached to the surface of the mature crystalline particles to generate different accelerations. Under the action of oscillating centrifugal force, the sludge particles are desorbed from the surface of the mature crystalline particles and removed. The desorbed sludge particles enter the wastewater and are discharged through the outlet 1314. The mature crystalline particles, due to their higher weight, are discharged from the cylinder 100 through the discharge pipe 1313 at the bottom of the feed cylinder 1311. Nitrogen gas leaves the cylinder 100 from the exhaust pipe 1315 at the top of the cylinder 100.
[0066] Example 2
[0067] This embodiment optimizes the solution by adding an aerator 118 and an atomizer 119 to the solution based on embodiment 1. The atomizer 119 consists of 3 sets of fan-shaped nozzles 119 distributed in an arc shape, and the aerator 118 is a diaphragm-type microporous aeration disc.
[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, an aerator 118 is provided between the feed pipe 114 and the internal space of the cylinder 100. The aerator 118 includes an air inlet 1181 arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside of the cylinder 100 and an air distribution membrane 1183 that helps acidic gas to enter the interior of the cylinder 100 evenly. A base plate 1182 is provided between the air distribution membrane 1183 and the air inlet 1181, which is in close contact with the air distribution membrane 1183. The air distribution membrane 1183 has a microporous outlet 1183a. The air distribution membrane 1183 can be replaced when necessary to ensure aeration, greatly reducing the cost of subsequent equipment maintenance. The diameter of the microporous outlet 1183a is 90μm, and the ultra-fine pore size helps to generate a large number of micro-nano bubbles.
[0069] like Figure 5As shown, the liquid inlet pipe 113 is provided with an atomizer 119 between the inside space of the cylinder 100, the atomizer 119 including a liquid inlet 1191 and a circular-arc liquid guide pipe 1192 arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside of the cylinder 100, and the circular-arc liquid guide pipe 1192 is provided with a fan-shaped nozzle 1193. The circular-arc liquid guide pipe 1192 makes the lye spread along the circumference and uniformly spray from the fan-shaped nozzle 1193 in a tangential direction, thereby realizing the effect of three-dimensional atomization of the lye into the cylinder 100.
[0070] The use method of the separation device in Example 2 is as follows:
[0071] (1) When the crystal seeds in the cylinder 100 are in a small particle size and irregular state, the high-salt wastewater enters the water inlet pipe 111, and after the liquid vortex preventer 117, the speed is reduced, and is dispersed to pass through the gas-liquid distributor 115 into the fluid mixing area 110. At this time, the acidic gas enters the feed pipe 114, and under the action of the aerator 118, it becomes micro-nano bubbles into the fluid mixing area 110; the lye enters the liquid inlet pipe 113, and under the action of the atomizer 119, it becomes dispersed small droplets into the fluid mixing area 110. After the high-salt wastewater, the acidic gas, and the lye contact in the fluid mixing area 110, the crystal seeds induce the metal ions and the reaction-generated non-metal ions or ion groups to be crystallized on the surface of the crystal seeds, and further react to generate low-solubility compounds to obtain crystalline particles. Among them, the acidic gas is CO2, H2S or PH3, the gas pressure is >0.8 Mpa; the lye is NaOH or KOH, the pH is >12; the high-salt wastewater is a solution containing metal ions, and the metal ions are Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Fe 2+ , Mn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ , Ag + , Cu 2+ , As 3+ , and Ba 2+ .
[0072] (2) The crystalline particles move upward and pass through the lower fluidized area 1212, the upper fluidized area 1213, and the circulation area 122 in sequence, and continuously circulate and fluidize in the fluidized area 121 and the circulation area 122, and grow into mature crystalline particles.
[0073] Among them, the possible reaction process of the acidic bubbles and the alkaline droplets is as follows:
[0074]
[0075] H2S+2OH - →S 2- +2H2O
[0076]
[0077] The crystallization reaction process on the surface of the seed crystal is as follows:
[0078]
[0079] Cu 2+ / As 3+ +S 2- → sulfide crystal
[0080]
[0081] (3) When a large number of matured crystalline particles appear, the electromagnetic valve 1313a is opened, and the residual high-salinity wastewater in the cylinder 100 is discharged from the water outlet 1314. The high-salinity wastewater in the water inlet pipe 111 is switched to clean water, and the entering of the lye and the acidic gas is stopped, and nitrogen is introduced into the gas inlet pipe 116. The high-speed flowing gas-liquid two-phase is uniformly dispersed in the water phase channel and the gas phase channel of the gas-liquid distributor 115, and flows into the fluid mixing area 110 to contact each other in the cylinder 100. The turbulent motion of the mixed fluid will generate strong shear stress, so that the irregular sludge large particles deposited at the bottom are dispersed into spherical sludge small particles. Under the drag force of the mixed fluid, the matured crystalline particles and the sludge small particles are entrained to pass through the circulating granulation area 120 into the three-phase separator 131 in the particle separation area 130, and the matured crystalline particles are separated and recovered under the self-rotation coupling centrifugal force of the cyclone field. Finally, the electromagnetic valve 1313a is opened, the matured crystalline particles are discharged from the discharge pipe 1313, the water phase containing sludge particles is discharged from the water outlet pipe, and the nitrogen is discharged from the exhaust pipe 1315.
[0082] (4) Steps (1)-(3) are repeated to realize continuous crystallization separation treatment of metal ions in high-salinity wastewater.

[0088]
[0089] Note: Hardness and alkalinity are expressed as CaCO3.
[0090] 2. Micro-interface induced crystallization separation device
[0091] The barrel diameter of the micro-interface induced crystallization separation device for metal ions in high-salinity wastewater is 0.3 meters, the overall height is 2.8 meters, and the single processing capacity is 1 m 3 / h. A three-phase separator is installed at the top of the separation device for efficient desliming and separation and recovery of mature crystalline particles.
[0092] 3. Implementation process
[0093] ① Fluid mixing
[0094] According to the above "Example 2, method of using the separation device" section, specifically: add limestone seed with a particle size of 40-80 mesh into the seed addition tube, with a stacking height of 0.3-0.4 meters, pass NaOH solution (pH > 12) into the liquid inlet pipe, pass CO2 gas (pressure > 0.8 MPa) into the feed pipe, and pass coal gasification ash water with the composition shown in Table 1 into the water inlet pipe at a flow rate of 1 m 3 / h, the fluid rising speed in the fluidization zone is 40 m / h, and the fluid rising speed in the circulation zone is 30 m / h, with a hydraulic retention time of 10 minutes.
[0095] ② Circulating granulation
[0096] The micro-interface induced crystallization separation device for metal ions in high-salinity wastewater is continuously operated for 3-5 days according to the (2) described in the "Example 2, method of using the separation device" section, and the residual coal gasification ash water with the composition shown in Table 1 in the barrel is discharged from the water outlet. Switch the coal gasification ash water in the water inlet pipe to clean water (flow rate 1 m 3 / h), and stop the entry of NaOH solution and CO2 gas, and pass nitrogen gas (flow rate 8 m 3 / h) into the gas inlet pipe. The operation time is 10-15 minutes, the internal pressure of the barrel is 0.2 MPa, the separation efficiency of mature crystalline particles is > 98%, and the particle size range is 1-3 mm.
[0097] 4. Implementation effect
[0098] The properties and parameters of the treated coal gasification grey water are shown in Table 2. It can be observed that the hardness and turbidity are obviously reduced, the reduction rate of total hardness and turbidity can reach more than 85%, the removal rate of COD is >55%, the pH value and alkalinity are slightly increased. In addition, the suspended solids content of the separated coal gasification grey water is increased; the reason is that the micro-nano bubbles make the colloidal particles in the grey water aggregate and grow into suspended particles, a small part of which sinks with the crystallized silt, and most of which rises to the outlet with the grey water, so a three-phase separator is arranged at the last end of the crystallization separation device, which can remove the suspended solids of the softened effluent on the one hand, and purify the silt-containing wastewater after the mature crystalline particles are desilted on the other hand.
