Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of papermaking white water treatment technology, and in particular to a method for treating and reusing papermaking white water. Background Technology
[0002] In the waste paper manufacturing process, to achieve water conservation and "zero discharge" goals, white water systems generally adopt highly closed-loop circulation. This leads to the continuous accumulation of dissolved organic matter, colloidal substances, and fine fibers in the water system, causing a series of production problems such as deterioration of pulp filtration, increased paper machine breakage rate, decreased paper strength, and microbial growth. Existing treatment technologies, such as traditional air flotation or single / multi-disc filtration, mainly focus on the preliminary separation of solids, and have problems such as low recovery efficiency of fine components, unstable operation, and poor quality of recovered materials (direct reuse affects paper strength).
[0003] In the existing technology, the treatment and reuse of papermaking white water suffers from problems such as low fiber and filler recovery efficiency, poor quality of recycled materials, and lack of coordination among treatment units leading to unstable system operation. To address these issues, we propose a method for treating and reusing papermaking white water. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies in the treatment and reuse of papermaking white water, such as low fiber and filler recovery efficiency, poor quality of reused materials, and instability in system operation due to lack of coordination among processing units. Therefore, this invention proposes a method for treating and reusing papermaking white water.
[0005] The papermaking white water treatment and reuse method provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A method for treating and reusing white water from papermaking includes the following steps: S1: Online monitoring and characteristic analysis of papermaking white water; S2: Pre-treat white water by step-by-step targeted flocculation; S3: Pump the pretreated white water into a zoned optimized multi-disc filter for dynamic filtration; S4: Collect and reuse the filtered filtrate in multiple stages to ensure its quality. S5: The recycled fiber filler is subjected to efficient dehydration and surface activation modification; S6: The modified filler is compounded and homogenized with the paper pulp online; S7: High-frequency vibrating inclined screen is used for deep interception and fiber recovery of end-of-pipe wastewater; S8: Dynamically optimize process parameters.
[0006] Furthermore, in step S1, an integrated online water quality analysis instrument is installed on the outlet pipeline of the white water pool in the papermaking workshop to continuously monitor the chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, colloidal charge, conductivity, and pH value of the white water in real time. The monitoring data is transmitted to the central control system in real time. Based on the built-in expert model, the system dynamically analyzes and provides early warnings on the concentration, charge characteristics, and changing trends of the fine / colloidal components in the white water.
[0007] Furthermore, in step S2, based on the real-time analysis results, precise stepwise flocculation is performed on the white water in the white water pretreatment reactor. Polyaluminum chloride flocculant is added to the first stage of the reactor, and its dosage is dynamically adjusted according to the online colloidal charge signal. The control range is 5-15 mg / L for every 1 mV decrease in zeta potential. Colloidal destabilization and initial micro-floc formation are completed under high shear stirring.
[0008] Furthermore, in S2, in the second stage of the reactor, a cationic polyacrylamide solution with a specific molecular weight (8 million to 15 million) is added to the system. The dosage is finely adjusted to 2-10 mg / L based on turbidity feedback. Under low shear conditions, this promotes further bridging and growth of the flocs, forming dense and uniform filterable flocs.
[0009] Furthermore, in step S3, the pretreated white water is transported to a multi-disc filter with an improved structure. Each fan-shaped filter disc is physically separated radially to form two independent filtration and stripping units: an inner zone (high-precision zone, mesh size ≥ 150 mesh) and an outer zone (standard-precision zone, mesh size ≥ 100 mesh). The operating parameters set by the central control system based on the white water flow rate and TS concentration, including spindle speed, zone vacuum degree, and backwash pressure, are applied to the filter to achieve selective and efficient retention and stripping of flocs of different particle sizes.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, the filtrate produced by the multi-disc filter is classified into three levels according to its solid content and clarity: the ultra-clear filtrate (solid content ≤30mg / L) is collected and directly reused in the high-pressure spraying of the paper machine wire section and the coating preparation process, which have the highest requirements for water purity; the clear filtrate (solid content ≤80mg / L) is collected and reused in the intermediate stages of pulp dilution and pulp pump sealing water production; and the shallow turbid filtrate (solid content ≤150mg / L) is collected and used as the feed water for the subsequent inclined wire deep treatment system.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S5, the slurry rich in fiber and filler recovered by the multi-disc filter is mechanically dewatered by a belt dewatering machine to increase its dryness to 25%-35%. Subsequently, the dewatered slurry is transported to a modified reactor equipped with a temperature-controlled jacket and a high-speed disperser. Under a temperature of 55-65°C and continuous mechanical shearing, cationic starch (added at 1.0%-3.0% of the oven-dry solids) is first added to the system and reacted for 10 minutes. Then, an alkenyl succinic anhydride derivative (added at 0.5%-1.5% of the oven-dry solids) is added and the reaction continues for 20 minutes to complete the charge modification and hydrophobic grafting of the filler particle surface.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S6, the obtained modified filler slurry is continuously and stably injected into the main slurry pipe of the papermaking flow system at a ratio of 1%-5% of the total main slurry on an absolute dry basis using a high-precision metering pump. The injection point is selected in a pipe section with turbulent flow, and the fluid kinetic energy is used to achieve initial dispersion. Subsequently, an online static mixer is installed after the slurry pump to perform forced homogenization treatment on the mixed slurry to ensure that the modified filler is evenly distributed in the fiber network.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S7, the collected shallow turbid filtrate and other low-concentration white water are gathered and evenly distributed onto the screen surface of a high-frequency micro-amplitude vibrating inclined screen through a water distribution system equipped with a homogenizing and energy dissipation device. The vibration frequency of the inclined screen is controlled at 15-25Hz and the amplitude is controlled at 1-2mm. Under these conditions, the residual microfibers in the water are efficiently intercepted, and the intercepted fiber residue is dewatered by a spiral and then reused.
[0014] Furthermore, in S8, online water quality data, operating status data of each device, and data from the final paper basis weight and strength online testing instrument are integrated, collected, and analyzed. Based on the fuzzy-PID composite control algorithm, the flocculant addition curve is dynamically optimized according to water quality changes. Based on the ash content detection results of the recycled pulp, the modifier addition amount is adjusted in reverse. Based on the real-time signal of paper smoothness, the compounding ratio is finely adjusted.
[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. This solution dynamically adjusts the flocculation process based on real-time water quality data (such as colloidal charge and turbidity), adjusts the zoned operation parameters of the multi-disc filter according to changes in white water load, and fine-tunes the front-end modification and compounding process based on the final paper quality signal. This effectively overcomes the problems of independent operation of each unit and poor resistance to shock loads in traditional methods. 2. This solution forms dense flocs with a better particle size distribution through a precisely controlled flocculation process, creating ideal conditions for subsequent filtration; while the physically separated and zoned multi-disc filter plates can selectively retain and efficiently strip flocs of different sizes, avoiding the problems of fine particle run-off or clogging that exist in traditional single-zone filtration. 3. This solution fundamentally improves the surface properties of the recycled fiber filler by performing targeted charge modification and hydrophobic grafting treatment, thereby enhancing its affinity and bonding strength with pulp fibers. Subsequently, online homogenization technology combining turbulent injection and static mixing is used to ensure the uniform distribution of the modified filler in the paper web.
[0016] This invention constructs a closed-loop control system from online monitoring and intelligent decision-making to precise execution, realizing intelligent linkage and adaptive optimization of multiple units throughout the entire white water treatment process. While significantly improving the recovery efficiency of fiber fillers and the quality of paper, it also achieves efficient graded reuse of water resources and source reduction of pollutants, thus achieving a unity of economic, environmental and social benefits.

Experimental Methods 1. Experimental setup: Control group: A "traditional air flotation + ordinary multi-disc filtration" process was used. Flocculants (PAC, CPAM) were added at a fixed empirical dosage. The air flotation effluent entered the multi-disc filtration system; part of the filtered water was reused, and the recovered slurry was directly recycled back to the slurry system. Experimental group: The entire process from S1 to S8 was strictly performed according to the instructions of this invention (based on the parameters of Example 3). Online monitoring data drove the dynamic addition of flocculant, the filtrate was recycled in three stages, and the recovered packing material was added to the main slurry through an online compounding system after surface activation modification. 2. Operation and Monitoring: The two sets of experiments were run in parallel, treating the same flow rate of white water, and running continuously for 72 hours to simulate fluctuations in actual production (which can be achieved by slightly changing the quality of the influent manually). Monitoring points and frequency: Influent / effluent water quality: TSS, COD, and turbidity are measured every 2 hours; Key unit efficiency: Fiber retention rate and packing retention rate of the air flotation / multi-disc unit are measured / calculated every 4 hours; Characteristics of the recovered material: Samples of the recovered slurry were taken every 8 hours to analyze its particle size distribution and zeta potential; the contact angle of the modified filler slurry was measured (to assess hydrophobicity). Paper quality: Every 12 hours, two sets of systems reused water and recycled materials (the control group reused directly, and the experimental group reused after modification) were used to make paper sheets with the same basis weight under a fixed ratio, and their tensile strength, bursting strength and ash content were measured. System stability: Record whether manual intervention (such as cleaning or adjustment) was required for the air flotation skimming tank and multi-disc filter screen in the control group during the entire operation period, and the number of times and effects of dynamic optimization based on S8 in the experimental group; Comparison of Expected Data Evaluation indicators unit Traditional method (air flotation + ordinary multi-plate) The method of this invention (step-by-step targeted flocculation - intelligent filtration - modification and reuse) 1.
