Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for incrementally recovering salt in high-salinity wastewater, and in particular to deep treatment and resource utilization of high-salinity wastewater, belonging to the field of wastewater treatment. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of petrochemical, pharmaceutical, pesticide and other industries, more and more high-salt wastewater has been generated. At present, the amount of high-salt wastewater in my country accounts for about 5% of the total wastewater, and it is still increasing at a certain rate every year, causing serious environmental pollution. High-salt wastewater refers to wastewater with a total salt mass fraction of ≥1%. This type of wastewater not only has a high COD concentration, but also contains high concentrations of soluble inorganic salt ions such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chlorine and sulfate. It has the characteristics of strong acidity and alkalinity, complex chemical composition, and difficulty in treatment.
[0003] At present, the treatment technologies for high-salinity wastewater mainly include physical method, chemical method, biological method and their combined processes. Among them, the physical method mainly adopts flotation, sedimentation, mechanical compression evaporation, activated carbon adsorption and other technologies; the chemical method mainly adopts incineration, reaction precipitation, deep oxidation and other technologies; the biological method mainly adopts active microbial sludge, membrane bioreactor and other technologies. The current methods are mostly used for the treatment of high-salinity wastewater discharge in compliance with standards, and are less used in the resource recovery of valuable salts in high-salinity wastewater. The main reasons are: ①. Compared with the crystallization concentration of salt, the initial concentration of each salt in high-salinity wastewater is still low, and the conventional thermal concentration method has high energy consumption and large investment; ②. The quality of recovered salt is low and difficult to commercialize; ③. The cost of salt recovery is high and the profit margin is low. It is precisely because of the above problems in the current methods that wastewater production enterprises lack motivation for the resource utilization of high-salinity wastewater, and their enthusiasm is generally low. Most of them are only willing to treat high-salinity wastewater for discharge in compliance with standards. A large amount of salt in the wastewater is disposed of as solid waste, resulting in a huge waste of resources. Therefore, under the environmental protection requirements of low-carbon energy saving and green circulation, there is an urgent need for a salt recovery method for high-salt wastewater that combines low-cost treatment and high-value conversion. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a method for incrementally recovering salt from high-salinity wastewater, which specifically comprises the following steps:
[0005] (1) Preliminary treatment of high-salinity wastewater to obtain a first mixed solution;
[0006] (2) performing characteristic discrimination on the first mixed solution;
[0007] (3) determining the main product salt and its related compounds based on characteristic discrimination, measuring the related compounds and adding them to the first mixed solution to form a second mixed solution;
[0008] (4) subjecting the second mixed liquid to separation by a separation membrane to obtain a first concentrated liquid and a first permeate;
[0009] (5) re-concentrating the first concentrated solution and the first permeate by membrane method to obtain a second concentrated solution, a second permeate and membrane permeate;
[0010] (6) crystallizing the second concentrated solution to obtain a main product salt and a first crystallization mother liquor, and fractionally crystallizing the second permeate to obtain a related compound, a by-product salt, and a second crystallization mother liquor;
[0011] (7) using the associated compound obtained by crystallization in step (6) as the associated compound of step (3) and returning it to the first mixed solution;
[0012] (8) Returning the first crystallization mother liquor and the second crystallization mother liquor to the first mixed liquor for mixing and reuse.
[0013] In step (5), the first concentrated liquid is re-concentrated by membrane method to obtain a second concentrated liquid and membrane permeate water, and the first permeate is re-concentrated by membrane method to obtain a second permeate and membrane permeate water; the membrane permeate water obtained from the first concentrated liquid and the first permeate can be used as recycled water and returned to the production system.
[0014] The present application increases the concentration of one ion in the anions and cations of the high-value main product salt by adding low-value associated compounds, and matches it with the concentration of another ion in the main product salt in the high-salt wastewater, so as to separate the high-salt wastewater in the form of the main product salt to the greatest extent possible, and obtain the main product salt with higher value than the associated compounds. Since the present application utilizes the characteristic that the separation membrane has a higher retention rate for high-valent ions than low-valent ions, the high-valent ions and low-valent ions with the same charge are separated, achieving the goal of using low-value raw materials in exchange for high-value products; and separation by separation membrane can make the ion components in the first concentrated solution and the first permeate simpler than the second mixed solution, which is conducive to the high-purity recovery of the high-value main product salt therein, and is also conducive to the extraction of other salt substances in the high-salt wastewater.
[0015] Compared with existing conventional methods such as evaporation and concentration, the present application utilizes a separation membrane separation coupled membrane re-concentration process, which can not only separate ions of different valence states, but also reduce the concentration cost of high-salt wastewater; compared with conventional methods such as evaporation and concentration, this method has a simple operation process, high efficiency, and energy saving, the equipment has large adjustability, is easy to integrate, has strong practicality, and has high application value.
[0016] Compared with the existing step-by-step reaction precipitation method, since the method of the present application performs membrane separation on ions of different valence states, the main product salt obtained has higher purity, does not require further purification, and has greater recycling value.
[0017] Compared with simply using step-by-step crystallization to recover salt from high-salt wastewater, due to the complex composition of high-salt wastewater and the low salt concentration, when direct step-by-step crystallization is performed, the crystallization yield of the main product salt is not high and the purity is low, and further purification is required to remove the impurity ions therein, which greatly increases the recovery cost of the main product salt, reduces the recovery efficiency, and reduces the value of resource utilization.
[0018] By using the present application, high-value multivalent ions in high-salt wastewater can be recovered in the form of high-purity main product salt, and other salts can also be recovered at the same time, thereby achieving resource utilization of salt in high-salt wastewater and realizing the goals of energy conservation and environmental protection, resource regeneration, cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0019] Specifically, in step (1), the preliminary treatment includes but is not limited to pH adjustment, activated carbon adsorption decolorization, physicochemical treatment, precipitation and separation, and membrane filtration processes; after the high-salt wastewater is subjected to preliminary treatment, the pH value of the first mixed solution obtained is in the range of 2 to 13, SS (suspended solids) is less than 50 mg / L, TOC (total organic carbon) is less than 50 mg / L, COD (chemical oxygen demand) is less than 40 mg / L, and SDI (silt density index) is less than 5.
[0020] In this application, the purpose of pre-treatment of high-salinity wastewater is to obtain a qualified first mixed solution. On the premise of meeting the above-mentioned indicators, the specific procedures of the pre-treatment can be selected and combined. After the pre-treatment, most of the impurities in the high-salinity wastewater are removed, avoiding the blockage or damage of the separation membrane pores by the impurities, and ensuring the service life of the separation membrane device.
[0021] The specific pH value of the first mixed solution is determined according to the appropriate acid-base environment for salt crystallization in the high-salt wastewater. For details, please refer to the prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0022] When any of the indicators SS, TOC, COD and SDI is too high, it means that the concentration of impurities in the first mixed wastewater exceeds the standard, which can easily cause a decrease in the permeation flux of the separation membrane device, thereby affecting the membrane separation and concentration effect of high-salt wastewater.
[0023] Specifically, in step (2), the first mixed solution after preliminary treatment is mainly an aqueous solution of inorganic salts, and its characteristics are identified, including identifying the types of ions contained therein, clarifying the valence distribution of each ion and determining the concentration of each ion. Among them, the anions in the first mixed solution can be determined by ion chromatography and titration; the cations can be determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, and titration.
[0024] Specifically, in step (3), the main product salt and its associated compound are determined according to the characteristic discrimination result of the first mixed solution, the main product salt is composed of a first anion and a first cation, one of which has a valence of monovalent and the other has a valence of polyvalent; the associated compound is composed of a second anion and a second cation, and the valence of the second anion and the second cation are both monovalent;
[0025] One of the second anion and the second cation of the associated compound is the same as the first anion and the first cation of the main product salt, which has a valence of one, and the other is the same as an ion other than the first anion and the first cation in the high-salinity wastewater;
[0026] The first anion, the first cation, the second anion and the second cation are all ions already present in the high-salinity wastewater.
[0027] The multivalent state in the present application means that the valence of the ion is greater than or equal to 2, specifically +2 to +8, and -2 to -8.
[0028] In the present application, under the premise of determining the main product salt, a monovalent ion other than the main product salt ion is selected from the anions and cations already existing in the first mixed solution, and paired with the monovalent anion or monovalent cation of the main product salt to form an associated compound; that is, one of the second anion and the second cation constituting the associated compound is the same as the first anion and the first cation of the main product salt, which are monovalent, and the other is the same as an ion other than the first anion and the first cation in the high-salt wastewater. The second anion and the second cation are both ions already present in the high-salt wastewater to avoid the introduction of new ions.
[0029] The second anion and the second cation of the above-mentioned related compound can both pass through the separation membrane during the separation process of the separation membrane in step (4) and be enriched in the first permeate.
[0030] In the present application, the molar ratio of the third ion to the fourth ion in the second mixed solution is (3-8):1, wherein the third ion is the ion with a valence of one among the first anion and the first cation of the main product salt, and the fourth ion is an ion with the same charge and valence as the third ion except the third ion.
[0031] In the present application, the amount of the associated compound to be added is calculated by combining the test data of the concentration of each ion in the first mixed solution and the molar ratio of the third ion to the fourth ion in the second mixed solution.
[0032] When the molar ratio of the third ion to the fourth ion in the second mixed liquor is too low, the amount of the associated compound added is too small, the concentration of the main product salt ions is not significantly increased, the incremental recovery effect is poor, and it is difficult to maximize the recovery of the multivalent ions in the form of the main product salt; when the molar ratio of the third ion to the fourth ion in the second mixed liquor is too high, the amount of the associated compound added is too large, in addition to meeting the main product salt ion requirements, a large number of excess ions are introduced, which brings difficulty and additional burden to the membrane separation process, increases the loss of the separation membrane, prolongs the membrane separation time, and reduces the service life and work efficiency of the separation membrane.
[0033] Specifically, in step (4), the charge of the separation membrane is the same as the charge of the multivalent ion among the first anion and the first cation of the main product salt.
[0034] The second mixed liquor is separated by a separation membrane, which has three effects: ①. Separation effect: using a charged separation membrane that meets the requirements, the main product salt ions in the second mixed liquor are selectively separated, providing a guarantee for the efficient and high-purity preparation of the main product salt; ②. Purification effect: by separating the monovalent and multivalent ions in the second mixed liquor by a separation membrane, the ion composition in the first concentrated liquid and the first permeate is simpler than that in the second mixed liquor, which is more conducive to the crystallization of high-purity main product salt, related compounds and by-product salt in step (6); ③. Concentration effect: by separating the second mixed liquor by a separation membrane, the first concentrated liquid containing the main product salt is concentrated, the concentration of the main product salt is increased, and the crystallization process of the main product salt is facilitated.
[0035] The types of separation membranes in step (4) of the present application include tubular separation membranes, rolled separation membranes, flat separation membranes and hollow fiber separation membranes; the charge of the separation membrane is the same as the charge of the multivalent ions in the first anion and the first cation of the main product salt, that is, when the multivalent ions in the main product salt are cations, the separation membrane selects a positively charged membrane; when the multivalent ions in the main product salt are anions, the separation membrane selects a negatively charged membrane.
[0036] Furthermore, in step (4), the pore size of the separation membrane is 0.5-10 nm, the porosity is 30-70%, the pressure range is 0-8 MPa, and the interception rate of the multivalent ions of the main product salt is greater than 90%. Furthermore, preferably, the pore size of the separation membrane is 0.5-5 nm, the porosity is 35-55%, the pressure range is 0-6 MPa, and the interception rate of the multivalent ions of the main product salt is greater than 95%.
[0037] Furthermore, in step (4), the volume distribution ratio of the first concentrated liquid separated by the separation membrane to the first permeate is in the range of 1:2 to 1:20.
[0038] Specifically, in step (5), the first concentrated liquid and the first permeate are respectively subjected to membrane re-concentration, with the concentration multiple being 1.2 to 15 times; the membrane re-concentration method includes any one of thermal drive type, pressure drive type and electric field drive type or a combination of at least two thereof.
[0039] Further, in step (5), the membrane device used in the reconcentration process includes but is not limited to a membrane distillation device, a reverse osmosis membrane device and an electrodialysis membrane device. Among them, the membrane materials used in the membrane distillation device include but are not limited to a hydrophobic ceramic membrane, a hydrophobic PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) membrane, a hydrophobic PVDF-HFP (polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) membrane, the pore size of the membrane is 0.8 to 100 nm, the porosity is 35 to 65%, the working pressure tolerance is 0 to -0.1 MPa, and the membrane retention rate is greater than 95%; the membrane materials used in the reverse osmosis membrane device include but are not limited to polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, aromatic polyamide membrane, cellulose acetate membrane, composite membrane, the pore size of the membrane is 0.1 to 1 nm, the pressure range is 0 to 10 MPa, and the membrane desalination rate is greater than 96%; the membrane materials used in the electrodialysis membrane device include but are not limited to polymer membrane, hydrogel membrane, fiber membrane, the water content of the membrane is 30 to 50%, the membrane surface resistance is less than 15Ω·cm2, the membrane exchange capacity is 1.5 to 5mmol / g, and the selective permeability is greater than 85%.
[0040] When the concentration multiple is too low, the ideal concentration effect cannot be achieved, and the recovery amount of the main product salt in the subsequent crystallization step will be affected; when the concentration multiple is too high, the concentration of the membrane inlet solution is high, which is prone to concentration polarization, resulting in a decrease in membrane flux, and easy to produce crystals on the membrane surface, blocking or destroying the membrane pores, and reducing the service life of the membrane material.
[0041] In the present application, the incremental recovery of the main product salt is achieved through four major steps: determining the associated compounds, controlling the amount of associated compounds added, optimizing the separation membrane separation process, and adjusting the membrane reconcentration process. The four steps complement each other and are indispensable. Among them, determining the associated compounds is the basis for the effectiveness of the method of the present application and is of great significance to improving the salt concentration of the main product; controlling the amount of associated compounds added determines the molar ratio of key ions in the second mixed solution, which is crucial to adjusting the reasonable composition of the separation membrane inlet material and is the basis for the specific implementation of the method of the present application; optimizing the separation membrane separation process is the core step to achieve the membrane method to improve the salt concentration of the main product and is a specific way to achieve the goal of the method of the present application; adjusting the membrane reconcentration process can further achieve the concentration increase of the first concentrated solution and the first permeate, and has the advantages of low energy consumption, high operating process safety, and integration, and provides an initial crystallization solution of appropriate concentration for the crystallization process of step (6).
[0042] Specifically, in step (6), the second concentrated liquid and the second permeate are crystallized respectively, and the crystallization method is evaporation crystallization, cooling crystallization or freezing crystallization. The specific crystallization method is selected according to the crystallization characteristics of the crystallization product. For details, please refer to the prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0043] Specifically, in step (7), the associated compound obtained by crystallization in step (6) needs to be measured before returning to the first mixed solution.
[0044] In the present application, the associated compound obtained in step (6) is returned to the first mixed solution as the associated compound of step (3) after being measured;
[0045] In the present application, when the salt concentration in the high-salt wastewater remains stable, all the related compounds obtained in step (6) are returned to step (3), and an appropriate amount of related compounds are supplemented as needed; when the salt concentration of the high-salt wastewater fluctuates, related compounds are added according to actual needs. When adding related compounds, the related compounds obtained from step (6) are first used. When the needs cannot be met, fresh related compounds are supplemented.
[0046] Specifically, in step (8), the mass ratio of the first crystallization mother liquor, the second crystallization mother liquor and the first mixed liquor for reuse is (10-20):(10-30):(50-80). When the mass ratio of the first mixed liquor is too low, the ion concentration of the main product salt in the mixed wastewater solution is low, affecting its product yield; when the mass ratio of the first mixed liquor is too high, the reuse amount of the first crystallization mother liquor and the second crystallization mother liquor is small, which is easy to cause backlog and is not conducive to the stable and continuous operation of the product line.
[0047] In this application, for the sake of clarity, the ions in the high-salt wastewater are divided into effective ions and impure ions, with the total molar number of all detected salt ions (i.e., metal ions and acid radical ions) as the benchmark, where the ions with a molar concentration percentage of <0.5% are impure ions, and the remaining ions are effective ions. The ions described in this application are all effective ions. There is only one type of multivalent cation or multivalent anion in the high-salt wastewater, that is, it does not contain multivalent cations and multivalent anions at the same time, and after the multivalent cations or multivalent anions are converted into monovalent ions, the molar concentration percentage of the multivalent cations or multivalent anions is ≥40%. For example, SO 4 2- After converting to monovalent ions, when calculating the molar concentration, one mole of SO 4 2- In terms of two moles; Mg 2+ After converting to monovalent ions, when calculating molar concentration, one mole of Mg 2+ In terms of two moles; Al 3+After converting to monovalent ions, when calculating the molar concentration, one mole of Al 3+ Calculated as three moles, and so on.
[0048] In the present application, when there are too many impurity ions in the first crystallization mother liquor and the second crystallization mother liquor, and have affected the crystallization purity of the main product salt, the by-product salt and the associated compounds, they are no longer returned to the first mixed liquor, but directly enter the wastewater treatment system for discharge in compliance with the standards; the crystallization purity of the main product salt, the by-product salt and the associated compounds can be determined according to specific needs.
[0049] Compared with the common high-salinity wastewater resource utilization method, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0050] 1. The method in the present application increases the concentration of one ion in the main product salt by adding related compounds to match another ion of the main product salt with a higher content in high-salt wastewater, thereby providing a basis for incremental recovery of the main product salt from high-salt wastewater; then, the second mixed liquor is separated by a separation membrane, and the monovalent ions and part of the water are permeated out by utilizing the characteristic that the separation membrane has a much higher retention rate for multivalent ions than for monovalent ions, thereby achieving the purpose of separating, purifying and increasing the concentration of the main product salt in the second mixed liquor; compared with directly concentrating the first mixed liquor, the method of the present application effectively adjusts the concentration ratio of key ions in the second mixed liquor, and realizes the separation of solutions with different salts, thereby providing a guarantee for the step-by-step and high-purity recovery of each salt.
[0051] 2. This application cooperates with each other through the four steps of related compound determination + related compound addition control + separation membrane separation + membrane re-concentration to jointly achieve the adjustment, separation, concentration and purification recovery of high-salt wastewater. Compared with the method of increasing the salt concentration of the main product by evaporation and concentration, the energy consumption of this application method is greatly reduced, which is more environmentally friendly and more in line with the national carbon emission policy; compared with the chemical precipitation method with a more complex reaction environment, the method of this application makes the obtained first concentrated solution and first permeate liquid simpler and more concentrated due to the membrane separation effect of the separation membrane on the second mixed liquid. Therefore, the main product salt, related compounds and by-product salts finally crystallized are purer than the salt substances obtained by the chemical precipitation method, and the recycling value is higher; compared with the direct crystallization method of high-salt wastewater, due to the complex composition of high-salt wastewater and the low salt concentration, the direct crystallization method has a low yield of salt substances, a large amount of residual crystallization mother liquor, high disposal difficulty, and the purity of the salt substances obtained by crystallization is not high, and the economic value is limited.
[0052] 3. The related compounds in this application, under the premise of meeting the requirements, can be combined with the market price to select suitable compounds with lower prices, so as to achieve the purpose of adding low-value salt substances to obtain high-value main product salt output, which can reduce the treatment cost of high-salt wastewater and improve economic benefits. Compared with other methods for resource utilization of high-salt wastewater, it has greater cost advantages.
[0053] In summary, the present application provides a high-purity, low-cost, incremental method for recovering salt from high-salinity wastewater, which provides a new solution for the resource utilization of high-salinity wastewater and has significant technical and economic benefits.
