Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nickel wastewater treatment technology, in particular to a nickel wastewater treatment process containing nickel acetate cleaning water and nickel acetate concentrated water. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of industry, nickel is increasingly used in various fields such as electroplating, metallurgy, and chemical industry, resulting in an increasing discharge of nickel-containing wastewater. Nickel is a potentially toxic heavy metal element. Its excessive discharge can cause serious pollution to water bodies, soil and the ecological environment, and pose a threat to human health through accumulation in the food chain.

[0003] At present, the treatment technology for nickel acetate cleaning water and nickel acetate concentrated water adopts micro-electrolysis / UV photolysis + Fenton process to treat nickel-containing wastewater. However, this method has the disadvantages of long reaction time, high operating cost and low nickel content in nickel sludge. In addition, there is a special treatment method. The first step: nickel acetate cleaning water is collected through the pipeline and enters the collection pool. The nickel-containing wastewater is pumped into the T27 ion concentration system for preliminary separation through the lifting pump. The fresh water separated by the T27 ion concentration system is used as the raw water of the T40 ion concentration system, and the T27 concentrated water is used as the raw water of the T40 ion concentration system. The raw water is from the three-stage T100 concentration system. In the second step, the water produced by the T40 ion concentration system enters the RO membrane filtration system. The RO produced water meets the discharge standards, and the concentrated water returns to the first-stage T27 ion concentration system for further concentration. In the third step, the three-stage T100 ion concentration system has two water streams: nickel acetate concentrated water and first-stage T27 concentrated water. The produced water returns to the sodium acetate cleaning water, and the concentrated water enters the electrolysis system after impurities are removed. Although this special treatment method can ultimately achieve a nickel purity of 95%-99%, it has the disadvantages of high power consumption and high operating costs of the electrolysis system.

[0011] Step S6: The RO concentrated water is transported to the collection tank in step S1, and steps S1-5 are repeated until the RO produced water meets the discharge standards.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S1, nickel acetate cleaning water and nickel acetate concentrated water are mixed to obtain nickel wastewater.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S1, the security filter is a cotton core filter or a bag filter.

[0014] Furthermore, the primary concentration system in step S2 uses a Ni / CuT27 membrane, the operating range of which is between ultrafiltration and nanofiltration, with a monovalent ion retention rate of ≤1% and a divalent ion retention capacity of between 70% and 90%.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a nickel wastewater treatment process containing nickel acetate cleaning water and nickel acetate concentrated water, comprising the following steps:

[0023] Step S1: Filtering nickel wastewater

[0024] The nickel acetate cleaning water and the nickel acetate concentrated water are mixed to obtain nickel wastewater, the nickel wastewater is collected in a collection pool, and the nickel wastewater is transported to a filter for filtration to obtain a liquid to be treated and large particle impurities.

[0025] Step S2: Primary concentration treatment

[0026] The liquid to be treated is transported to a primary concentration system for preliminary separation. The primary concentration system uses a Ni / CuT27 membrane, model YX-NiT27-15. The operating range of the Ni / CuT27 membrane is between ultrafiltration and nanofiltration, with a monovalent ion retention rate of ≤1% and a divalent ion retention capacity of between 70% and 90%.

The primary low-nickel water is concentrated to separate secondary low-nickel water and secondary concentrated nickel water, and the secondary low-nickel water is transported to the water production pool;

[0032] The precipitated sludge obtained in step S4 is conveyed to a filter press for squeezing. The treated liquid obtained in step S4 is conveyed to a water production pool. The secondary low-nickel water and the treated liquid are mixed and conveyed together to an RO membrane filtration system. The RO membrane filtration system uses a medium-pressure high-salt brackish water membrane, model YIME-MP-BW-8040-(FR). The nickel ions in the mixed water are concentrated by utilizing the membrane's selective filtration characteristics. The mixed water is then concentrated to obtain RO produced water and RO concentrated water.

[0033] Step S6: RO produced water meets discharge standards

[0034] The RO concentrated water is transported to the collection tank in step S1, and steps S1-5 are repeated until the RO produced water meets the discharge standards.

After mixing the primary concentrated nickel water and the secondary concentrated nickel water, sodium aluminate solution is added to the mixed solution. The pH value of the mixed solution is 8-12. Nickel ions react with hydroxide ions to form nickel hydroxide precipitate. Sulfuric acid solution is added to adjust the pH value of the mixed solution to 6.5-7.5. Sodium aluminate is hydrolyzed to form aluminum hydroxide precipitate. Aluminum hydroxide adsorbs nickel hydroxide to form a composite precipitate. Aluminum ions and nickel ions undergo a competitive complexation reaction. Flocculant is added to the mixed solution to form a flocculated precipitate. The reaction time is fast and the nickel content in the nickel sludge can be greatly increased. In addition, the secondary low-nickel water and the treated liquid are mixed and transported together to the RO membrane filtration system for deep treatment. This collaborative treatment method can shorten the treatment cycle and reduce operating costs.
