Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of acid production process wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to an activated carbon desulfurization and denitrification acid production process wastewater treatment system and treatment method. Background Technology
[0002] Activated carbon desulfurization and denitrification purification processes utilize the adsorption principle of activated carbon to recover SO2 from flue gas and use it to produce sulfuric acid. During the production of industrial sulfuric acid from SO2, acidic wastewater is generated. The wastewater from the activated carbon desulfurization and denitrification sulfuric acid production process described in this invention originates from the acidic wastewater discharged from the purification section of the sulfuric acid production unit. This wastewater not only has high ammonia nitrogen content but also high organic nitrogen content, and contains toxic and harmful substances that inhibit nitrifying and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, requiring purification treatment.
[0003] To date, numerous attempts have been made to treat wastewater from activated carbon desulfurization, denitrification, and acid production processes, as documented in the following literature:

In operation, the system first introduces the acid production wastewater into the stirring and sealed device for acid-base neutralization. Then, it introduces the defluorination subsystem to remove fluoride ions. Next, it introduces the hardness and heavy metal removal subsystem to reduce the hardness of the acid production wastewater and remove heavy metal ions. Finally, it introduces the ammonia nitrogen removal and evaporation crystallization subsystem to remove ammonia nitrogen and perform evaporation crystallization, ultimately obtaining crystalline salt and fresh industrial water.

The reaction tank is connected to the recycled water tank, an automatic lime powder feeder, a deammoniation agent dosing device, a blower, and an induced draft fan through pipelines. This allows the acid wastewater in the flue gas desulfurization and denitrification device to be properly treated with a simple treatment process and low treatment cost, and to achieve the reuse of wastewater and waste ammonia.

After the effluent from the neutralization tank enters the reaction tank, 40% FeCl₂SO₄ is added to cause lead ions, mercury ions, and other ions to form heavy metal sulfide precipitates. After the effluent from the reaction tank enters the flocculation tank, coagulant is added, and then the effluent from the reaction tank enters the clarification tank. A portion of the sludge from the clarification tank is returned to the neutralization tank, and flocculant is added to the return pipe to remove suspended solids from the wastewater.
[0014] 2) Ammonia nitrogen removal: The effluent from the clarifier enters the ammonia removal and blending tank. A deammoniation agent containing a compound acid is added to the tank, and mechanical stirring promotes the agglomeration and sedimentation of the generated flocs, removing some metal ions, ammonia nitrogen, and COD from the wastewater.

[0017] 5) Sludge-water separation: The sludge at the bottom of the sludge thickening tank is discharged regularly, and the sludge is lifted into the sludge conditioning tank for conditioning. After conditioning, it is periodically pumped to the plate and frame filter press for dewatering by a single screw pump. The dewatered sludge is transported off-site regularly, and the filtrate from the plate and frame filter press is returned to the wastewater tank.
[0018] Furthermore, the influent water quality index range for the wastewater is: CL - ≤13000mg / L,F - ≤16mg / L, SO4 2- ≤640mg / L, COD≤360mg / L, total iron≤0.27mg / L, Pb≤0.14mg / L, ammonia nitrogen≤450mg / L, SS≤850mg / L, conductivity≤450us / cm, pH<1.

The dewatered clarified liquid and the supernatant from the sludge thickening tank are returned to the wastewater tank.
[0020] Furthermore, the tail gas from the ammonia nitrogen stripping tower is introduced into an absorption tower for treatment, using water and acid as the absorbent.
[0021] Furthermore, the wastewater after ammonia nitrogen removal enters the intermediate water tank, where the pH value is adjusted by the HCl metering tank. The exhaust gas from the HCl metering tank enters the acid mist absorber for treatment, and the liquid from the acid mist absorber is discharged into the wastewater pool.
[0022] Furthermore, the flocculant is PAC or PAM.
[0023] Furthermore, the treated wastewater effluent meets the indirect discharge requirements of GB13456—2012 "Water Pollutant Discharge Standard for Iron and Steel Industry".

The process route includes adjustment and neutralization, coagulation and sedimentation, ammonia nitrogen removal, filtration, concentration and crystallization, and sludge-water separation; wherein:
[0034] 1) Neutralization and coagulation sedimentation: Wastewater from the wastewater pond first enters the neutralization tank, where NaOH is added to adjust the pH to 8.5–9.5. After the effluent from the neutralization tank enters the reaction tank, 40% FeCl₂SO₄ is added to cause lead ions, mercury ions, and other ions to form heavy metal sulfide precipitates.

[0035] 2) Ammonia nitrogen removal: The effluent from the clarifier enters the ammonia removal and blending tank. A deammoniation agent containing a compound acid is added to the tank, and mechanical stirring promotes the agglomeration and sedimentation of the generated flocs, removing some metal ions, ammonia nitrogen, and COD from the wastewater. The wastewater in the clarifier is adjusted to pH 10.5–11.5 by adding alkali and heated to 30–50°C with steam. The effluent from the ammonia removal and blending tank enters the ammonia nitrogen stripping tower, where ammonia nitrogen is removed by "low-pressure stripping + catalytic oxidation". During the ammonia nitrogen stripping process, the pH of the wastewater is maintained at 10.5–11.5 by adding alkali intermittently, and a chlorine-containing strong oxidizing ammonia nitrogen removal agent is added. Stripping is carried out continuously for 2–3 hours to ensure that the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the wastewater is <15 mg / L.
[0036] 3) Filtration; After removing ammonia nitrogen, the wastewater is adjusted to pH 6-9, and then subjected to two-stage filtration through a multi-media filter and an activated carbon filter to remove COD from the wastewater and reduce its turbidity and color.
[0037] 4) Concentration and crystallization; the filtered wastewater is concentrated and crystallized in an MVR evaporator; the concentrated and crystallized wastewater is separated by centrifugation, and the separated wastewater is discharged to the test discharge pool. If it passes the test, it is discharged into the sewage pipe network; if it fails the test, it is returned to the concentration and crystallization section.
[0038] 5) Sludge-water separation: The sludge at the bottom of the sludge thickening tank is discharged regularly, and the sludge is lifted into the sludge conditioning tank for conditioning. After conditioning, it is periodically pumped to the plate and frame filter press for dewatering by a single screw pump. The dewatered sludge is transported off-site regularly, and the filtrate from the plate and frame filter press is returned to the wastewater tank.
[0039] Furthermore, the influent water quality index range for the wastewater is: CL - ≤13000mg / L,F - ≤16mg / L, SO4 2- ≤640mg / L, COD≤360mg / L, total iron≤0.27mg / L, Pb≤0.14mg / L, ammonia nitrogen≤450mg / L, SS≤850mg / L, conductivity≤450us / cm, pH<1.
[0040] Furthermore, the sludge formed by sedimentation in the clarification tank enters the sludge thickening tank for thickening, and is then pumped by a single screw pump into a plate and frame filter press for dewatering. The dewatered clarified liquid and the supernatant from the sludge thickening tank are returned to the wastewater tank.
[0041] Furthermore, the tail gas from the ammonia nitrogen stripping tower is introduced into an absorption tower for treatment, using water and acid as the absorbent.
[0042] Furthermore, the wastewater after ammonia nitrogen removal enters the intermediate water tank, where the pH value is adjusted by the HCl metering tank. The exhaust gas from the HCl metering tank enters the acid mist absorber for treatment, and the liquid from the acid mist absorber is discharged into the wastewater pool.
[0043] Furthermore, the flocculant is PAC or PAM.
[0044] Furthermore, the treated wastewater effluent meets the indirect discharge requirements of GB13456—2012 "Water Pollutant Discharge Standard for Iron and Steel Industry".
[0045] The influent indicators of the activated carbon desulfurization, denitrification and acid production process wastewater (hereinafter referred to as wastewater) described in this invention should not fluctuate drastically, provided that the requirements are met.
[0046] The wastewater from the wastewater pond has a low pH value. The acidity and alkalinity of the wastewater are adjusted in the neutralization tank. NaOH is preferred as the alkaline neutralizing agent. The pH value of the wastewater is adjusted to between 8.5 and 9.5 by an online pH meter.
[0047] After the wastewater enters the reaction tank, FeClSO4 (concentration 40%) is added to cause lead ions and mercury ions to form heavy metal sulfide precipitates.
[0048] After the wastewater enters the flocculation tank, a coagulant is added, and the dosage of the agent is controlled according to the coagulation effect during the treatment process.
[0049] The wastewater is high in both ammonia nitrogen and organic nitrogen, and contains toxic and harmful substances that inhibit nitrifying and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. Based on the incoming water quality, selective removal of metal ions and flocculation sedimentation are performed. After the wastewater enters the clarifier, flocculants, including ferric salt flocculants and polymeric flocculants, are added to the sludge return pipe. PAC / PAM polymeric flocculants are preferred. Mechanical stirring promotes the agglomeration and sedimentation of the generated flocs. The dosage is determined based on the ammonia nitrogen value of the influent wastewater, aiming to reduce metal ions, ammonia nitrogen, and COD in the wastewater. Coagulation and sedimentation mainly use ferric salt flocculants and polymeric flocculants to reduce the SS (suspended solids) concentration in the wastewater.
[0050] Based on the separation effect of suspended solids in the clarifier, sludge is periodically discharged from the bottom of the clarifier and sent to the sludge thickening tank for treatment. The sludge is then periodically pumped by a single screw pump to a plate and frame filter press for dewatering. After dewatering, the sludge is periodically transported off-site for disposal, and the filtrate from the plate and frame filter press is returned to the wastewater tank.
[0051] To ensure the stripping efficiency of the ammonia nitrogen stripping tower, wastewater is pretreated in an ammonia stripping mixing tank before entering the tower. Alkali is added to adjust the pH to 10.5–11.5, and the water is heated to 30–50°C. A small amount of ammonia stripping agent containing a compound acid (such as the ammonia stripping agent produced by Zhengzhou Tianhe Water Purification Materials Co., Ltd.) is added. The effluent from the mixing tank enters the ammonia stripping tower, where ammonia nitrogen is stripped at a constant temperature. Alkali is added intermittently during the treatment to maintain the wastewater pH at around 11. After 2–3 hours of continuous stripping, the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the wastewater can be reduced to below the national Class I discharge standard (15 mg / L). The ammonia stripping tower uses a "low-pressure stripping + catalytic oxidation" method, and an appropriate amount of chlorine-containing strong oxidizing ammonia nitrogen removal agent (such as the ammonia nitrogen removal agent produced by Zhengzhou Tianhe Water Purification Materials Co., Ltd.) is added.
[0052] The stripping method for removing ammonia nitrogen utilizes the difference between the actual concentration and equilibrium concentration of volatile substances such as ammonia nitrogen in wastewater. Under alkaline conditions, air is used for stripping. As gas is continuously discharged during the stripping process, the concentration of ammonia in the gas phase is changed, so that its actual concentration is always lower than the equilibrium concentration under the conditions. Ultimately, dissolved ammonia in the wastewater continuously crosses the gas-liquid interface, and NH3-N in the wastewater is removed. The desorption rate is related to temperature and gas-liquid ratio.
[0053] The indirect discharge requirements of GB13456—2012 "Emission Standard of Water Pollutants for Iron and Steel Industry" are shown in Table 1:

[0056] The effluent from the ammonia nitrogen stripping tower enters the intermediate water tank, where the pH is adjusted to neutral by adding HCl. After being pressurized by a filtration pump, it undergoes two stages of filtration: a multi-media filter and an activated carbon filter. Finally, it flows into the clear water tank. The backwash water from both filters is returned to the sludge thickening tank. The multi-media filter and activated carbon filter serve as backup measures, effectively removing COD and reducing turbidity and color, ensuring that the final effluent fully meets standards.
[0057] Water effluent from the clean water tank is pumped into the MVR evaporator for concentration and crystallization via a water supply booster pump. In the MVR evaporator, when the wastewater concentration reaches the target value, it is pressurized by the discharge pump and sent to the circulation system for centrifugal separation. The solids proceed to the next process for drying and packaging. If impurities in the wastewater exceed a certain value, it is periodically discharged to a testing and discharge pool. Wastewater that passes the testing and discharge pool test is discharged into the sewage network; wastewater that fails the test enters the concentrate tank for further evaporation and crystallization. The MVR evaporator utilizes the principle that the boiling point of the liquid phase is greatly reduced under negative pressure, resulting in a lower temperature throughout the evaporation process. This allows the entire system to achieve efficient evaporation at relatively low temperatures, significantly reducing process energy consumption. The low steam consumption also reduces overall system energy consumption.
[0058] The exhaust gas from the above process is introduced into an acid mist absorber or absorption tower through an intake pipe. The absorbent used is water or alkaline solution. If there is a trace amount of ammonia, it is directly discharged into the atmosphere through a high-altitude extraction method.
[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
