Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printing and dyeing wastewater treatment, in particular to a method for treating vat dyeing wastewater. Background Art

[0002] Vat dyes themselves cannot be directly dissolved in water. They must first be reduced with a reducing agent in an alkaline solution to form a water-soluble leuco dye. The dye then uses the affinity of the leuco dye sodium salt for the fiber. Because a large amount of reducing agent is used during dyeing, the redox potential of the wastewater from vat dyeing is negative, and the ions in the wastewater are highly negatively charged.

[0003] As a green and efficient water treatment technology, electrochemical flocculation has been widely used in various wastewater treatments, such as printing and dyeing wastewater, domestic wastewater, heavy metal wastewater, etc. The principle of electrocoagulation is to use metal materials (iron, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.) as sacrificial anodes. Under certain voltage conditions, the metal anodes undergo electrolysis to produce metal cations, which react with the )OH generated at the cathode. - Hydroxide microflocculation forms, which, through charge neutralization, form larger flocs, accelerating the adsorption and deposition of pollutants. However, the flocs produced by electrochemical flocculation have a relatively loose structure, resulting in poor flocculation effect and long settling time. This results in poor wastewater treatment effectiveness and low treatment efficiency using electroflocculation.

[0004] At present, in order to improve the effect of electroflocculation in treating wastewater, most of the methods are optimized in terms of treatment equipment. For example, there are literature reports that by setting a device integrating an electroflocculation zone, a reaction zone, a sedimentation zone, and a clear water zone, the flocculation-clarification process is ensured to proceed smoothly and the electroflocculation treatment effect is improved. There are also literature reports that in the electroflocculation wastewater treatment process, magnetic powder is added to the wastewater to form flocs with the magnetic powder as coagulation nuclei, strengthen the flocculation effect, and improve the sedimentation efficiency. However, the above method has a high processing cost and requires a special device to operate, and its applicability is not high. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a method for treating vat dyeing wastewater with a high processing efficiency and good flocculation effect at a low cost. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems of existing electroflocculation treatment of vat dye wastewater, such as poor treatment effects, low treatment efficiency, high treatment costs, and poor applicability, the present invention provides a method for treating vat dye wastewater. This method adds diatomaceous earth or modified diatomaceous earth to the wastewater treated by electroflocculation, along with hydroxyl silicone oil, to enhance the floc structure and stability, promote floc aggregation, improve wastewater treatment effectiveness, and effectively shorten the electroflocculation time.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is:

[0007] A method for treating vat dyeing wastewater comprises subjecting the vat dyeing wastewater to electric flocculation treatment, sequentially adding an adsorbent and a hydroxy silicone oil emulsion to the treated wastewater for flocculation and precipitation treatment in stages; wherein the adsorbent is diatomaceous earth or diatomaceous earth modified with an aminosilane coupling agent.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a method for treating vat dyeing wastewater. First, a specific diatomaceous earth adsorbent is added to the vat dyeing wastewater after electroflocculation treatment. Through the net capture and sweeping action of the diatomaceous earth adsorbent, the suspended matter generated by the electroflocculation is aggregated into flocs with larger particle sizes. Then, by adding a hydroxy silicone oil emulsion, the chargeability and linear molecular structure of the hydroxy silicone oil are utilized to further aggregate the aforementioned flocs with larger particle sizes into coarse aggregates through bridging, forming one-dimensional or two-dimensional linear spherical clusters. The coarse aggregates formed by the hydroxy silicone oil bridging are structurally stable, which can avoid structural damage of the flocs during the sedimentation process, thereby achieving rapid sedimentation and improving the treatment effect. The present invention can not only significantly improve the treatment efficiency of electroflocculation, but also significantly reduce the COD value and chromaticity of the wastewater. No special treatment equipment is required, which significantly reduces the treatment cost. It has high economic, environmental and social benefits and is extremely valuable.

[0009] For example, the vat dyeing wastewater in the present invention may be indigo dyeing wastewater.

[0011] The method for treating vat dyeing wastewater provided by the present invention can significantly improve the sedimentation rate of flocs in the wastewater treated by electroflocculation. After treatment, the COD value and chroma of the wastewater are significantly reduced, meeting national emission standards. No special equipment is required, the operation is simple, and the cost is low. The method can be applied to the treatment of actual industrial vat dyeing wastewater, provides a new energy-saving and efficient treatment process route for the treatment of vat dyeing wastewater, and has extremely high promotion and application value.

[0012] Preferably, the aminosilane coupling agent modified diatomaceous earth is 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane modified diatomaceous earth.

[0013] In further combination with the above, the preparation method of the aminosilane coupling agent modified diatomaceous earth includes the following steps: adding diatomaceous earth to a sulfuric acid solution and dispersing it evenly, keeping it at 55°C-65°C for a reaction of 2.5h-3.5h, washing, and calcining to obtain acidified diatomaceous earth; then dispersing the acidified diatomaceous earth in an organic solvent, adding an aminosilane coupling agent, reacting it at 85°C-95°C for 11h-13h, washing, and drying to obtain aminosilane coupling agent modified diatomaceous earth.

[0015] In combination with the above, the calcination temperature is 550° C.-650° C., and the calcination time is 5 h-7 h.
