Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of industrial wastewater treatment, in particular to a treatment method of chemical nickel plating waste liquid. BACKGROUND

[0002] Chemical plating is a mature surface treatment technology. Compared with electroplating technology, chemical plating is used more widely, and the formed plating layer is uniform, has small pinholes and good weldability. Chemical nickel plating is one of the important plating species, which is widely used in mechanical, chemical, mining, medical and other industries. The plating layer is a nickel-phosphorus alloy. The mainstream nickel plating solution mainly includes nickel salt, phosphorus reducing agent, organic complex, etc. The nickel salt is the main metal component of the plating layer. The phosphorus reducing agent reduces nickel to metallic nickel, and part of the phosphorus also enters the plating layer to improve the chemical properties of the plating layer. The complex mainly improves the stability of the plating solution.

[0003] The chemical nickel plating solution also extends the use time by supplementing various components, but when the accumulation of phosphite, organic matter and the like exceeds a certain limit, the solution cannot be used and needs to be disposed of. At this time, the nickel content in the waste liquid is 2-8 g / L, the phosphorus content is 40-120 g / L, and the organic matter content is 50-200 g / L. The state has strict limits on the discharge concentration of nickel, phosphorus, ammonium and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in wastewater, which must be strictly treated before discharge. From the perspective of resource utilization, nickel is a scarce non-ferrous metal, and phosphorus is the main component of fertilizer. The chemical nickel plating waste liquid with high nickel and phosphorus content undoubtedly has high comprehensive utilization value. However, due to the very complex nature of the chemical nickel plating waste liquid, there are still problems such as high treatment difficulty, high treatment cost, and introduction of new pollution factors by using a large amount of treatment reagents. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a treatment method of chemical nickel plating waste liquid, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Waste liquid pretreatment: adjust the pH value of the waste liquid to 1.5-2.5;

[0006] Waste liquid phosphorus removal: add an oxidizing agent to the waste liquid with a pH value of 1.5-2.5, and react for 2-5 h;

[0007] Waste liquid iron removal: adjust the pH value of the waste liquid after phosphorus removal to 5.5-6.5, so that the iron ions in the waste liquid form a ferric hydroxide precipitate, and a first filtrate is obtained by filtration to reduce the amount of subsequent nickel-containing sludge;

[0008] Waste liquid nickel removal: add 10-50 g of modified biochar to every 100 ml of the filtrate, and after constant temperature shaking treatment, a second filtrate is obtained by filtration;

[0009] Nickel-iron purification: a sulfide precipitant and PAM concentrated solution are added to the second filtrate, so that the nickel and iron in the solution are all converted into sulfide precipitates, and a third filtrate is obtained by filtration;

[0010] Biochemical treatment: the third filtrate is treated by hydrolysis and acidification combined with MBR process to quickly remove the remaining complex organic matter;

[0011] The modified biochar is prepared according to the following steps: the dry cow dung is crushed and sieved, then pyrolyzed under anoxic conditions to obtain cow dung biochar, the cow dung biochar is impregnated with 0.10 mol / L KMnO4 solution for 1-2 h, then washed with deionized water for 2-4 times, and dried at 100-120℃ for 3-5 h to obtain the modified biochar.

[0012] Further, in the preparation step of the modified biochar, the pyrolysis temperature is 400-600℃, and the pyrolysis time is 3-5 h. Controlling the pyrolysis temperature and time can significantly improve the pore structure, specific surface area and surface functional groups of the biochar. As the temperature rises and the time increases, the pore channels of the cow dung biochar collapse and the pore size becomes smaller, forming a large number of micropores.

[0013] Further, in the preparation step of the modified biochar, the ratio of cow dung biochar to KMnO4 solution is 1g:(3-6)ml.

[0014] Further, in the waste liquid pretreatment step, 40%-50% sulfuric acid and 20%-30% sodium hydroxide are used to adjust the pH value of the waste liquid, which can improve the subsequent phosphorus oxidation effect.

[0015] Further, in the waste liquid phosphorus removal step, the oxidizing agent is high ferric salt.

[0016] Further, the oxidizing agent is sodium ferrate or potassium ferrate.

[0017] Further, in the waste liquid phosphorus removal step, the amount of oxidizing agent added is 1.1-1.4 times the total phosphorus molar number, which can oxidize all phosphorus-containing groups to orthophosphate, and also oxidize a small amount of organic complexes to improve the subsequent nickel precipitation effect. The generated orthophosphate reacts with ferric ions to form iron phosphate precipitate, achieving phosphorus recovery.

[0018] Further, in the waste liquid phosphorus removal step, the oxidizing agent is added in batches within 1-2 h, and stirring is performed while adding, with a stirring speed of 400-700 rpm.

[0019] Further, in the nickel-iron purification step, the sulfide precipitant is any one of sodium sulfide, sodium hydrosulfide and hydrogen sulfide, and the amount of sulfide precipitant added is 2-3 times the theoretical precipitation molar amount, and the reaction time is 1-3 h, further removing nickel and iron in the waste liquid.

[0020] Further, in the nickel-iron purification step, the PAM concentrated solution has a concentration of 10% to 20%, the adding amount is 0.5‰ to 1.5‰ of the total mass of the solution, and the reaction time is 0.5 to 1.5 hours. Through flocculation precipitation, standing and filtration, the nickel and iron in the waste liquid can be further removed.

[0021] The beneficial effects are:

[0022] 1. The whole process is reasonably designed, and the nickel and phosphorus in the waste liquid are recycled under the premise of not introducing new pollution factors. By adding an oxidizing agent, ferric salt, to remove phosphorus ions, then adjusting the pH value of the waste liquid to make most of the iron ions precipitate, then using modified biochar to remove most of the nickel ions, then adding sulfide precipitants and PAM diluent to remove the remaining nickel ions and iron ions, and finally using hydrolysis acidification combined with MBR process to quickly remove the remaining complex organic matter, the whole process is short, the amount of reagent used is small, and the cost is low.

[0023] 2. In the waste liquid nickel removal step, the modified biochar is modified by 0.10 to 0.14 mol / L KMnO4. The KMnO4 in this concentration range can significantly improve the adsorption capacity of the biochar for complex nickel ions. The adsorption capacity of the modified biochar for nickel ions reaches the maximum. This is because KMnO4 has strong oxidizing properties and can undergo redox reactions with biochar, increasing the number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of biochar. When KMnO4 is reduced to insoluble MnO2 and adsorbed on the surface of biochar, it has strong adsorption capacity for nickel ions. If the concentration of KMnO4 is too high, the number of micropores in the biochar will decrease, the specific surface area will decrease, and the adsorption capacity of the biochar for nickel ions will decrease.

[0024] 3. In the waste liquid phosphorus removal step, the oxidizing agent used is ferric salt. Ferric salt is a strong oxidizing agent with a high oxidation-reduction potential of 2.2V, higher than ozone (2.076V). Although it is lower than hydroxyl radical (2.85V), the commonly used Fenton oxidation method has high requirements for conditions, and the effect of ferrous iron catalytic hydrogen peroxide to produce hydroxyl radical is unstable. Hydrogen peroxide is easily catalyzed and decomposed by various substances, resulting in poor actual oxidation effect. The strong oxidizing property of ferric salt due to the high valence state of iron is stable, and the oxidation process is simple. The strong oxidizing property of ferric salt can quickly convert two kinds of ions into orthophosphate, and then react with the trivalent iron produced by the reduction of the oxidizing agent to produce iron phosphate, realizing the recovery of phosphoric acid.

[0025] 4. In the nickel-iron purification step, the dual action of sulfide precipitants and PAM diluent can remove the residual metals in the electroless nickel plating waste liquid, greatly improving the biodegradability of the waste liquid. Biodegradability refers to the ease of degradation of pollutants in wastewater by microorganisms. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
