Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chemical technology, and in particular to a wastewater treatment system and a treatment method for a crude phenol extraction process. Background Art
[0002] The phenol in coal tar is mainly concentrated in phenol oil and naphthalene oil, accounting for 35.1% and 38.6% of the total phenol content in tar, respectively, followed by wash oil, accounting for 13%. Therefore, the raw material oil for extracting crude phenol is mainly phenol oil and naphthalene oil or a three-mixed fraction including phenol oil, naphthalene oil and wash oil. In order to increase the concentration of phenol in the raw material, the raw material for crude phenol extraction generally selects phenol, naphthalene and wash three-mixed fractions. At this time, the phenol concentration can reach more than 86%. The method of crude phenol extraction is fraction washing and sodium phenolate decomposition.
[0003] In the fraction washing process, phenolic compounds have phenolic hydroxyl groups and are weakly acidic, and can react with alkali to form sodium phenol salts. Therefore, the industrial extraction of crude phenol uses sodium hydroxide aqueous solution to wash the tar three-mixed fraction to obtain sodium phenol salts.
[0004] After washing the fraction, sodium phenolate is decomposed. Since sodium phenolate is a strong base and weak acid salt, it can be decomposed to obtain crude phenol by using an acid stronger than phenol acid. In industry, sodium phenolate is generally decomposed by sulfuric acid decomposition or carbon dioxide decomposition. Among them, the process line of sulfuric acid decomposition is relatively short, and most domestic enterprises originally chose sulfuric acid decomposition. However, the corrosion of equipment and pipelines of sulfuric acid decomposition is serious, and the treatment of sodium sulfate wastewater is difficult, so it has been gradually eliminated. Compared with sulfuric acid decomposition, the process line of carbon dioxide decomposition is longer, but the carbon dioxide decomposition method can completely solve the problems of equipment corrosion and waste liquid treatment.
[0005] The carbon dioxide decomposition method requires a reliable and stable source of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide decomposition gas source can be liquid carbon dioxide vaporization, coke oven flue gas, fertilizer plant carbon dioxide waste gas and tubular furnace tail gas. To ensure the decomposition effect, the carbon dioxide content of the flue gas is required to be no less than 15% to 17%.
[0006] Carbon dioxide decomposes phenol sodium salt to obtain crude phenol and produces sodium carbonate solution. As wastewater, if the sodium carbonate solution is not recycled, it will be sent to the sewage treatment plant for treatment. If equipped with causticizing equipment, the causticizing reaction of sodium carbonate solution and lime can be used to produce sodium hydroxide solution and precipitate containing calcium carbonate. The sodium hydroxide solution can be concentrated to a concentration of 12% to 14% by evaporation and sent to the fraction washing unit for use. However, calcium carbonate can only be treated as hazardous solid waste and entrusted to a qualified solid waste treatment unit because it contains a small amount of organic matter.
[0007] Therefore, how to turn waste into profit in the crude phenol extraction process, recycle the reaction raw materials and products, and achieve better economic, environmental and social benefits is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field.
[0008] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the aforementioned background technology section is only used to enhance the background understanding of the present disclosure, and therefore it may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

Nothing in this specification should be construed as requiring a specific three-dimensional orientation of the structure to fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0040] See also Figure 1 , which representatively shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a wastewater treatment system for a crude phenol extraction process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the wastewater treatment system of the crude phenol extraction process proposed in the present disclosure mainly includes a causticizing reactor 100, a filtering device 200, an evaporation device and a regenerative calcining furnace 400, wherein the evaporation device may include a primary evaporator 301 and a secondary evaporator 302 connected in sequence.

In conjunction with the above-mentioned figures, the structure, connection mode and functional relationship of each main component of an exemplary embodiment of the wastewater treatment system of the crude phenol extraction process proposed in the present disclosure are described in detail.
[0042] According to the present disclosure, the crude phenol extraction process mainly includes fraction washing and sodium phenolate decomposition. Figure 1As shown, the raw oil fraction, such as phenol, naphthalene, and washing mixed fraction of coal tar, enters the fraction washing unit A for fraction washing to obtain sodium phenolate, and the obtained sodium phenolate enters the decomposition tower B for decomposition by carbon dioxide to obtain crude phenol and waste water containing sodium carbonate. In the prior art, if the waste water is not recycled, it is sent to the sewage treatment device for treatment. If equipped with causticizing equipment, the causticizing reaction of sodium carbonate solution and lime can be used to produce sodium hydroxide solution and precipitate containing calcium carbonate. The sodium hydroxide solution can be sent to the fraction washing unit for use after evaporation and concentration to a concentration of 12% to 14%. However, calcium carbonate can only be treated as hazardous solid waste and entrusted to a qualified solid waste treatment unit for treatment because it contains a small amount of organic matter. In order to solve the problem of recycling waste water and waste residue in the decomposition process of sodium phenolate, the inventor of the present disclosure adopts a new wastewater treatment system.
[0043] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wastewater treatment system of the crude phenol extraction process includes a causticizing reactor 100, a filtering device 200, an evaporating device and a regenerative calcining furnace 400, wherein the evaporating device may include a primary evaporator 301 and a secondary evaporator 302 connected in sequence. The liquid inlet of the causticizing reactor 100 is connected to the wastewater outlet of the decomposition tower B, the liquid inlet of the filtering device 200 is connected to the liquid outlet of the causticizing reactor 100, the liquid inlet of the primary evaporator 301 is connected to the liquid outlet of the filtering device 200, and the liquid outlet of the primary evaporator 301 is connected to the liquid inlet of the secondary evaporator 302; the feed inlet of the regenerative calcining furnace 400 is connected to the discharge port of the filtering device 200, the discharge port of the regenerative calcining furnace 400 is connected to the discharge port of the causticizing reactor 100, and the gas outlet of the regenerative calcining furnace 400 is connected to the gas inlet of the decomposition tower B. In some embodiments, the regenerative calcining furnace 400 is also provided with a dust collector 401.
[0044] The following specifically describes the process of treating wastewater using the wastewater treatment system of the crude phenol extraction process in combination with the structure and connection relationship of the wastewater treatment system.
[0045] First, when the sodium phenol salt enters the decomposition tower B and is decomposed by carbon dioxide to obtain crude phenol and wastewater containing sodium carbonate, the wastewater containing sodium carbonate enters the causticizing reactor 100 through the wastewater outlet of the decomposition tower B, and undergoes a causticizing reaction with the lime in the causticizing reactor 100 to obtain a mixed solution containing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
[0046] Next, the mixed liquid enters the filter device 200 through the liquid outlet of the causticizing reactor 100 for filtration. The filter device 200 may be a closed fully automatic filter, or a filter unit consisting of multiple filters, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. After the mixed liquid is filtered through the filter device 200, a dilute alkali solution and a precipitate containing calcium carbonate are obtained.
[0047] The diluted alkali solution is a sodium hydroxide solution with a mass percentage concentration of sodium hydroxide not exceeding 11%. The diluted alkali solution obtained after filtration is collected by a sodium hydroxide solution receiving tank and sent to the primary evaporator 301 and the secondary evaporator 302 for concentration treatment via a sodium hydroxide solution pump. Figure 1 As shown, the primary evaporator 301 and the secondary evaporator 302 are connected in sequence, and the dilute alkali solution is concentrated by the primary evaporator 301 and the secondary evaporator 302 to obtain a concentrated alkali solution. The mass percentage concentration of sodium hydroxide in the concentrated alkali solution is 12% to 14%, and the concentrated alkali solution can be directly recycled for fraction washing and dephenolization.
[0048] The calcium carbonate-containing precipitate is filtered by the filter device 200 and enters the filter cake hopper, i.e., the feed port, of the regenerative calcining furnace 400 in the form of a calcium carbonate precipitate filter cake. The fuel of the regenerative calcining furnace is generally natural gas or coal gas, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The regenerative calcining furnace includes a preheating section, a calcining section, and a cooling section, and the calcining temperature is generally 800° C. to 1300° C. Energy can be recovered significantly through the regenerative chamber.
[0049] Calcium carbonate is decomposed into calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the regenerative calciner 400. CaO can release a large amount of heat after cooling. In some embodiments, a heat supply pipe I is provided between the regenerative calciner 400 and the secondary evaporator 302. The heat released by CaO after cooling enters the secondary evaporator 302 as a heat source through the heat supply pipe I, so that this part of energy is fully utilized. The cooled CaO can continue to enter the causticizing reactor 100 for recycling as a reaction raw material.
[0050] The calcium carbonate-containing precipitate obtained after filtration generally also contains a small amount of water and organic matter such as phenol. In the regenerative calcining furnace 400, a small amount of organic vapor, water vapor and carbon dioxide decomposed by calcium carbonate are removed from the furnace top and enter the dust collector 401 for dust removal, and then enter the furnace of the regenerative calcining furnace 400 for incineration. The carbon dioxide generated by the combustion of a small amount of organic matter is mixed into the flue gas of the regenerative calcining furnace 400, which increases the carbon dioxide content in the flue gas to more than 20%, so that the flue gas at this CO2 concentration can enter the decomposition tower B for recycling.
[0051] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the flue gas generated by the regenerative calcining furnace 400 passes through the primary evaporator 301 for heat exchange before entering the decomposition tower B. Specifically, the air inlet of the primary evaporator 301 is connected to the air outlet of the regenerative calcining furnace 400, and the air outlet of the primary evaporator 301 is connected to the air inlet of the decomposition tower B. The flue gas generated by calcination and decomposition is cooled to about 130°C by the regenerator of the regenerative calcining furnace 400 and enters the primary evaporator 301 as the heat source of the primary evaporator. At the same time, the flue gas is sent to the decomposition tower B for recycling after heat exchange from the primary evaporator 301, as the carbon dioxide gas source of the decomposition tower. The primary evaporator 301 and the secondary evaporator 302 are also respectively provided with flue gas condensers 3011 and 3021 (also heaters). After the water vapor in the flue gas is condensed in the flue gas condensers 3011 and 3021, it can be used as condensed water for circulating water replenishment.
[0052] In summary, through the treatment of the wastewater treatment system, the dilute alkali solution and calcium carbonate generated by the sodium carbonate-containing wastewater after treatment in the causticizing reactor are effectively recycled.
[0053] The obtained dilute alkali solution can be concentrated by evaporation to obtain a sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 12% to 14%, which is then sent to the fraction washing unit for repeated use. Furthermore, the neutral sodium phenolate washed with the sodium hydroxide solution fraction is blown to remove oil impurities before decomposition to make it pure sodium phenolate. The neutral sodium phenolate in the neutral sodium phenolate tank is sent to the sodium phenolate heat exchanger by the sodium phenolate distillation pump, and heats with the gas discharged from the distillation kettle, and then enters the distillation column of the phenolate distillation kettle. The distillation kettle uses heat transfer oil to heat the sodium phenolate solution to generate steam, and distills and blows steam to replace direct steam to reduce the amount of waste water. The pure sodium phenolate of water and neutral oil is blown out, cooled by the pure sodium phenol cooler, and then flows into the pure sodium phenolate tank. After the gas at the top of the distillation column exchanges heat with the neutral sodium phenolate in the sodium phenolate heat exchanger, it is cooled to 50°C with circulating water, and then enters the oil-water separator, the separated water flows into the phenol water tank of the tar distillation device, and the neutral oil flows into the phenol oil tank.
[0054] Next, phenolate decomposition is performed. The flue gas generated by the regenerative calciner 400 is sent to the decomposition tower B for recycling, wherein the decomposition tower B includes a primary decomposition tower and a secondary decomposition tower (not shown). Specifically, the flue gas generated by the regenerative calciner 400 is sent to the upper and lower sections of the primary decomposition tower and the upper and lower sections of the secondary decomposition tower by a Roots blower after cooling. The clean sodium phenolate is pumped into the upper section of the primary decomposition tower by the primary decomposition pump to countercurrently contact with the rising flue gas, and then flows into the lower section of the decomposition tower, and is countercurrently contacted with the flue gas again for decomposition, and the crude phenol and sodium carbonate mixed liquid flows into the separator at the bottom of the tower, and the crude phenol is discharged from the upper part to the primary decomposition intermediate tank, and the sodium carbonate is discharged from the bottom to the sodium carbonate tank. The crude phenol primary product of the primary decomposition intermediate tank contains a small amount of undecomposed sodium phenolate, which is then sent to the top of the secondary decomposition tower for decomposition. Similarly, after secondary decomposition in the upper and lower sections, it is separated at the bottom of the tower, and the decomposed crude phenol flows to the crude phenol tank by gravity, and the sodium carbonate solution is discharged from the bottom to the sodium carbonate tank. The waste gas from the primary decomposition tower and the secondary decomposition tower enters the tail gas purification tower C, is purified by sodium phenol salt, and then washed and purified by the water washing tower, and then discharged to the factory tail gas system and enters the tubular furnace for combustion.
[0055] It has been verified that, on the one hand, the wastewater treatment system disclosed in the present invention can obtain about 8000t of sodium hydroxide solution with a byproduct concentration of about 14%, and this part of the sodium hydroxide solution can be directly used for fraction washing and dephenolization, which greatly improves the recycling rate and saves costs; on the other hand, calcium carbonate is heated and decomposed into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide by a regenerative calcining furnace, and calcium oxide participates in the causticization reaction. Carbon dioxide decomposed by calcium carbonate and a small amount of organic matter attached to calcium carbonate are volatilized and burned to produce carbon dioxide, which can make the carbon dioxide concentration in the flue gas of the calcining furnace reach more than 20%, so that this part of the flue gas can enter the decomposition tower for recycling, ensuring that the decomposition rate of sodium phenol reaches more than 99%, and the water content of the obtained crude phenol is less than 10%. The various indicators of crude phenol meet the requirements of YB / T5079-2012.
[0056] The wastewater treatment system disclosed in the present invention can save 900 tons of carbon dioxide, 1,200 tons of calcium oxide with a purity of more than 98% on a dry basis, and reduce the discharge of 2,100 tons of solid calcium carbonate per year. In addition, the regenerative calcining furnace disclosed in the present invention adopts a regenerative high-temperature low-oxygen combustion method. The high-temperature low-oxygen combustion has the advantages of greatly saving energy and greatly reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. Therefore, the regenerative calcining furnace is not only energy-saving, but also can achieve ultra-low emissions of nitrogen oxides. In short, the wastewater treatment system and wastewater treatment method of the crude phenol extraction process disclosed in the present invention fully reflect the requirements of the circular economy, and are energy-saving, safe, and environmentally friendly, realizing the true transformation of waste into resources and recycling.
