Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of oily wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a method for resource utilization of oily wastewater. BACKGROUND
[0002] Industrial wastewater is widely sourced, mainly including: oilfield wastewater, petrochemical wastewater, food processing wastewater, metal cutting fluid wastewater, and tannery wastewater, etc. These industries are water-consuming and pollution-discharging big-hitters in China. Industrial wastewater refers to wastewater and waste liquid generated in industrial production, which contains industrial production materials, intermediate products, by-products, and pollutants generated in the production process.
[0003] The oil substances contained in oily wastewater include natural oil, petroleum products, tar and its fractions, as well as edible animal and vegetable oil and fat. In terms of water pollution, the main ones are oil and tar. The concentration of oil substances contained in wastewater discharged by different industrial departments varies greatly, and industrial oily wastewater often contains various toxic substances. In recent years, the continuous discharge of industrial oily wastewater and the frequent occurrence of oil spill accidents have led to increasingly serious oil-water pollution problems, which not only cause catastrophic damage to the ecological environment, but also pose a serious threat to human health. Therefore, the deep purification of oily wastewater has become a problem that must be solved in industry. The treatment methods of industrial wastewater are different for different industries and different sources of industrial wastewater. The appropriate treatment method should be selected according to the actual source, yield, content, etc. of the industrial wastewater, and at the same time, the treatment and utilization of sludge and residues generated in the wastewater treatment process, the possible secondary pollution problems, and the recycling of flocculants should also be considered. Common industrial wastewater treatment methods include chemical treatment, biological treatment, physical treatment, and physical-chemical comprehensive treatment.
[0004] A multi-stage interception type filtration method is disclosed in Chinese patent with the authorization announcement No. CN106430674A, which includes three-stage filtration of oily wastewater in sequence through a corrugated inclined plate filtration unit, a coarse granulation filtration unit, and an ultrafiltration membrane filtration unit. The oily wastewater flows through the corrugated inclined plate filtration unit to remove most of the floating oil, suspended particulate matter, and part of the dispersed oil. The effluent enters the coarse granulation filtration unit, and the fine dispersed oil and part of the emulsified oil are removed by the coarse granulation process, while the fine particles are further settled and treated. Finally, the emulsified oil and dispersed oil are removed by the ultrafiltration membrane filtration unit, which is discharged or recycled. The present invention is stable and reliable, with oil content in the effluent not exceeding 5 ppm, COD removal rate of more than 85%, and SS removal rate of more than 97%. No chemical agents are used, and there is no secondary pollution. However, the process flow of this method is complex, and the water pressure difference is difficult to control. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present disclosure provides a method for oil-containing wastewater resource utilization, which is simple, green and economical, can separate oil and water in the oil-containing wastewater, and can also recycle the oil phase, having good environmental and economic benefits.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present disclosure to solve the above technical problems is: a method for oil-containing wastewater resource utilization, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1: adding oil-containing wastewater into a reaction kettle and stirring for 1-2 hours, while introducing CO2 into the reaction kettle to maintain positive pressure in the reaction kettle;
[0008] S2: releasing the pressure in the reaction kettle to normal pressure, adding sodium carbonate into the reaction kettle and stirring;
[0009] S3: adding an oleophilic adsorbent into the reaction kettle, and stirring the reaction kettle at room temperature and negative pressure for 1-2 hours;
[0010] S4: filtering the mixed liquid after stirring in the reaction kettle through a water phase filter, and letting the purified water phase flow out from the bottom of the filter;
[0011] S5: transferring the filter residue to a centrifuge for centrifugal treatment;
[0012] S6: transferring the centrifuged oil phase to an oil storage tank, and recycling the solid material after centrifugation to S3 for continuous adsorption of oily substances.
[0013] In S1, the stirring temperature is 70-90℃, too low temperature will not improve the aggregation efficiency of oily substances in the liquid phase, and too high temperature will reduce the solubility of CO2, which is not conducive to the aggregation of oily substances; the stirring speed is 100-400r / min, a stirring speed lower than this range will increase the aggregation time of oily substances in the liquid phase, thereby increasing the operating cost; a stirring speed higher than this range will easily disperse the aggregated oily substances again. The positive pressure in the reaction kettle is 0.2-0.4MPa, a certain positive pressure in the reaction kettle is to accelerate the aggregation rate, when the positive pressure is lower than 0.2MPa, the aggregation phenomenon is not obvious, and when the positive pressure is higher than 0.4MPa, the operating cost increases with the increase of the pressure, but the aggregation efficiency is almost not improved.
[0014] Introducing CO2 in S1 has two effects, one is that CO2 can cause the aggregation of oily substances in the oil-water mixture, and the other is that it provides positive pressure, which is conducive to accelerating the generation of aggregation phenomenon, since the oily substances are mainly carbon-oxygen bonds, the composition of the oily substances will not be damaged, if other gases such as NO2, SO2 and O2 are introduced, secondary pollutants such as nitrate and sulfate will be produced. If inorganic inert gas such as N2 is added, it will not have the effect of aggregating oily substances, therefore, introducing CO2 to maintain positive pressure is a key step.
[0015] In S2, sodium carbonate is added into the reactor for adjusting the pH of the liquid phase in the reactor, the amount of sodium carbonate added depends on the required pH, the pH range is 7.5-9.5, oily substances are easily adsorbed by the adsorbent in the alkaline environment (i.e. pH > 7.0), but when pH > 9.5, the oily substances will undergo saponification reaction, therefore, the pH range is preferably 7.5-9.5.
[0016] In S3, the oleophilic adsorbent is bio-activated carbon impregnated with oxalic acid, the amount of the oleophilic adsorbent added is 2-5 kg / m 3 (by volume of the liquid phase in the reactor), when the content of oily substances is low, 2 kg / m 3 is enough to completely adsorb and remove the oily substances, when the content of oily substances is high, 5 kg / m 3 is able to adsorb and remove the oily substances, therefore, too low amount of the adsorbent cannot completely adsorb and remove the oily substances, and too high amount of the adsorbent will cause waste of the adsorbent and increase the operation cost. The negative pressure in the reactor is -10 to -30 kPa, under the negative pressure condition, the dissolved CO2 remaining in S1 can be deeply removed, which is beneficial to improving the adsorption efficiency of the adsorbent to the oily substances, when the negative pressure is less than -30 kPa, the dissolved CO2 cannot be completely removed, and when the negative pressure is higher than -10 kPa, the light oily substances are also easily volatilized, therefore, maintaining the negative pressure is a key step.
[0017] In S4, the bio-activated carbon is coconut shell or walnut shell or straw.
[0018] In S5, the rotating speed of the centrifuge is 15000-18000 r / min, because the adsorption strength of the oily substances on the adsorbent is high, and the rotating speed is too low, the oily substances cannot be separated from the adsorbent, and the centrifuging time is 60-150 s.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the process is simple and the whole process is free of secondary pollution, in S5, the oily substances and the adsorbent are separated by centrifuging, the separated oily substances can be stored and used, and the separated adsorbent can be reused in S3 for adsorbing the oily substances again, thereby realizing reuse of the adsorbent, which is green and economical.
