Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a wastewater treatment device and method, in particular to a caprolactam wastewater treatment device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Caprolactam, a white flaky solid material, has an oily touch, and the melting point is 69.3℃, which is one of the important raw materials of organic chemical industry, mainly used for the production of nylon-6 fiber and nylon-6 engineering plastics, and can also be used for drug synthesis. In recent years, with the rapid development and expansion of China's chemical industry, the demand for caprolactam in manufacturing, textile and medical device industries has been accelerated. From 2008 to 2018, the production of caprolactam in China increased from 299,700 tons to 2,826,000 tons, of which 31% was used for industrial manufacturing. The increase in raw material demand and the result of the improvement of self-production technology is the increase of caprolactam production capacity, and the amount of caprolactam wastewater is also increasing.
[0003] At present, the mainstream process of caprolactam production is cyclohexanone liquid phase ammonium oxime method. First, cyclohexanone, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide are used to generate cyclohexanone oxime under the action of titanium-silicon molecular sieve. Then, cyclohexanone oxime undergoes Beckmann rearrangement under the action of oleum to generate caprolactam sulfate. Caprolactam sulfate is neutralized with ammonia water to obtain crude caprolactam aqueous solution. Finally, the crude caprolactam aqueous solution is subjected to extraction, back extraction, ion exchange, hydrogenation, evaporation and distillation to obtain refined caprolactam. In a series of complex production processes, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanone oxime and other difficult-to-degrade byproducts are produced. Therefore, caprolactam wastewater has the characteristics of high oxygen consumption and high toxicity. If untreated high-concentration caprolactam wastewater is discharged into the natural environment, it will cause irreversible damage to the sustainable development of the ecological system, and even threaten human health. Therefore, exploring an economical and efficient method to treat caprolactam wastewater is the current primary goal.
[0004] In the method of treating caprolactam wastewater, biological method is widely used due to its low economic cost and no secondary pollution. However, this method is not only limited by the growth and metabolism of the organism itself, but also has high requirements for the water quality, which is difficult to meet the treatment demand of high-concentration wastewater. Some enterprises use incineration process for treatment, but the operation cost and disposal cost of the salt are very high, and the corrosion of the incinerator is serious due to the high content of ammonium sulfate. Therefore, the high-level oxidation technology with high treatment efficiency is applied. The treatment principle is to use free radicals with strong oxidation to attack macromolecular organic pollutants, so that they are decomposed into small molecular substances such as CO2 and H2O, so as to mineralize the organic matter and reduce the content of organic matter in wastewater.
[0005] Advanced oxidation methods include photocatalytic oxidation, Fenton oxidation and catalytic wet oxidation. Among them, catalytic wet oxidation (CWAO) technology is a representative of wastewater heat treatment technology, which uses oxidants to oxidize organic matter in wastewater into CO2 and water at high temperature and high pressure, so as to achieve the purpose of removing pollutants. However, due to the high COD content in caprolactam wastewater, the heat generated during the CWAO oxidation reaction causes the temperature in the reaction kettle to rise too much, making it difficult to safely control the temperature of the CWAO system, and a large amount of carbon black is produced, which can easily cause the heat exchanger and valve to be blocked, and the ammonia nitrogen in the produced water is very high, so the conventional CWAO process cannot be used for treatment.
[0006] CN115124183A discloses a caprolactam wastewater treatment system and method, which uses struvite crystallization and multi-stage biochemical combined process to treat caprolactam wastewater. However, the treatment process is very long, and the biodegradability of caprolactam wastewater is very poor, so the treatment effect is difficult to meet the standard.
[0007] CN114149140A discloses a caprolactam production wastewater treatment method, which uses anaerobic biochemical and ozone advanced oxidation combined process to treat caprolactam wastewater. However, the operation cost of ozone preparation is very high.
[0008] CN103708646A discloses a caprolactam industrial wastewater treatment method, which uses hydrogen peroxide and catalytic wet oxidation combined process to treat caprolactam wastewater. However, the pH value of the wastewater needs to be adjusted to 2 for reaction, which requires high acid corrosion resistance of the equipment, and consumes a large amount of expensive hydrogen peroxide, resulting in high operation cost.
[0009] In summary, it is urgent to find a simple, large-capacity, high-COD-and-ammonia-nitrogen-removal-rate, good-biodegradability, small-reaction-temperature-increase-and-safety-controllable, green, safe, and low-energy-consumption caprolactam wastewater treatment device and method without additional by-products and three wastes, with low cost and suitable for industrial production.

The produced water after the electrodialysis treatment is subjected to the precipitation treatment by using a precipitation tank, the pH value of the water is adjusted to be alkaline in the precipitation tank, and / or sulfide is added to recover the metal ions in the homogeneous catalyst. The rest is the same as embodiment 1.

[0078] A method for treating caprolactam wastewater
[0079] In the device of embodiment 2, the caprolactam wastewater 2 is sent into the wet oxidation reactor at a flow rate of 0.8 m 3 / h, and after the wet oxidation reaction at 230℃ and 5 MPa (the residence time is 1 h), the wastewater is sent into the membrane filtration device to be filtered at a transmembrane pressure difference of 2 bar, and the filtrate is sent into the 1 m 3 long heterogeneous catalyst (a mixture of cerium oxide and ruthenium oxide with a mass ratio of 1:2, and the average particle size is 10 mm) to perform the catalytic wet oxidation reaction at 270℃ and 7 MPa (the residence time is 1.5 h), and finally, the catalytic wet oxidation produced water is sent into the membrane ammonia removal device to be treated. The catalytic wet oxidation produced water is first filtered, then the pH value is adjusted to 11 by using sodium hydroxide, and the temperature is preheated to 40℃, the treated catalytic wet oxidation produced water and the sulfuric acid solution (the pH value is 2) are respectively sent into the tube side and the shell side of the cross-flow membrane contactor of the membrane ammonia removal device to perform the cross-flow absorption reaction (the flow rate ratio of the sulfuric acid solution to the wastewater is 1:5, and the residence time is 2 h), and the wastewater meeting the subsequent biochemical treatment is obtained.
[0080] After the wet oxidation reaction, the COD concentration of the produced water was reduced to 26860 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration was 16500 mg / L; after the catalytic wet oxidation reaction, the COD concentration of the produced water was reduced to 9370 mg / L, the ammonia nitrogen concentration was 24690 mg / L, and the total nitrogen concentration was 25104 mg / L; after the ammonia removal treatment by the membrane ammonia removal device, the COD concentration of the final produced water was 9582 mg / L (the slight increase in the COD concentration of the produced water after the membrane ammonia removal was due to the absorption of part of the water by sulfuric acid in the ammonia removal process), the removal rate was 91.16%, the ammonia nitrogen concentration was 98 mg / L, the removal rate was 99.42%, the B / C of the produced water was increased to 0.32, the biodegradability was very good, and the COD and ammonia nitrogen concentrations in the produced water met the concentration requirements of the subsequent biochemical treatment section.
[0081] A method for treating caprolactam wastewater
[0082] The difference between this example and example 3 is only that the residence time for the catalytic wet oxidation reaction is 2.0 h; in the ammonia removal treatment, the pH value is adjusted to 11.5 by sodium hydroxide, and the residence time for the cross-flow absorption reaction is 2.5 h. The rest is the same as in example 3.
[0083] After the wet oxidation reaction, the COD concentration of the produced water was reduced to 26860 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration was 16500 mg / L; after the catalytic wet oxidation reaction, the COD concentration of the produced water was reduced to 6370 mg / L, the ammonia nitrogen concentration was 21475 mg / L, and the total nitrogen concentration was 21795 mg / L; after the ammonia removal treatment by the membrane ammonia removal device, the COD concentration of the final produced water was 6512 mg / L (the slight increase in the COD concentration of the produced water after the membrane ammonia removal was due to the absorption of part of the water by sulfuric acid in the ammonia removal process), the removal rate was 93.99%, the ammonia nitrogen concentration was 23 mg / L, the removal rate was 99.86%, the B / C of the produced water was increased to 0.34, the biodegradability was very good, and the COD and ammonia nitrogen concentrations in the produced water met the concentration requirements of the subsequent biochemical treatment section.
[0084] Comparative example 1-1
[0085] The difference between this comparative example and method example 1 is only that 1. the caprolactam wastewater 1 is directly sent into the catalytic wet oxidation reactor for catalytic wet oxidation reaction, the reaction temperature is 260-270°C, the pressure is 7 MPa, and the residence time is 3 h; the produced water is sent into the electrodialysis device for ammonia removal treatment (the flow ratio of the concentrated chamber water to the dilute chamber water is 1:3, and the voltage is 0.8 V / pair of membranes). The rest is the same as in method example 1.
[0086] The detection shows that, after the catalytic wet oxidation reaction, the COD concentration of the produced water is 25380 mg / L, the ammonia nitrogen concentration is 16210 mg / L, and the total nitrogen concentration is 17224 mg / L; after the treatment by the electrodialysis device, the COD concentration of the final produced water is 14537 mg / L, the removal rate is 90.79%, the ammonia nitrogen concentration is reduced to 4240 mg / L, the removal rate is 42.70%, the B / C of the produced water is increased to 0.22, but the biodegradability is still poor, and the COD and ammonia nitrogen concentrations of the produced water exceed the concentration requirements of the subsequent biochemical treatment section.
[0087] It can be known from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1-1 that: since Comparative Example 1-1 does not perform the wet oxidation reaction for pretreatment of the wastewater, the removal effect of COD is greatly reduced, and it is difficult to perform subsequent treatment, and the reason is that: a lot of carbon black substances are produced in the catalytic wet oxidation process, which are attached to the surface of the catalyst to reduce the catalytic performance, so it is necessary to perform the wet oxidation pretreatment first and then perform the catalytic oxidation reaction; in the catalytic wet oxidation reactor, the reaction temperature is increased by 35℃ from the bottom to the top of the reactor, the temperature difference in the reactor is too large, and the temperature at the top of the reactor fluctuates by more than 10℃ with time, which is not conducive to the control of the temperature in the reactor, indicating that the wet oxidation pretreatment is not performed, which causes the temperature in the reactor to be difficult to control, and even the risk of temperature runaway; since the voltage in the electrodialysis device is only 0.8V / pair of membranes, the removal rates of COD and ammonia nitrogen by the electrodialysis are greatly reduced, and the B / C value is low due to the excessively high ammonia nitrogen.
[0088] Comparative Example 1-2
[0089] The difference between this comparative example and Method Example 1 is only that the produced water after the wet oxidation reaction is not filtered and directly enters the catalytic wet oxidation reactor. The rest is the same as Method Example 1.
[0090] The detection shows that, after the wet oxidation reaction, the COD concentration of the produced water is reduced to 18938 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration is 15242 mg / L; after the catalytic wet oxidation reaction, the COD concentration of the produced water is 12470 mg / L, the ammonia nitrogen concentration is 15995 mg / L, the total nitrogen concentration is 17210 mg / L, and the B / C is 0.11; after the treatment by the electrodialysis device, the COD concentration of the final produced water is 7550 mg / L, the removal rate is 95.22%, the ammonia nitrogen concentration is reduced to 854 mg / L, the removal rate is 88.46%, the B / C of the produced water is increased to 0.30, the biodegradability is good, and the COD and ammonia nitrogen concentrations of the produced water meet the concentration requirements of the subsequent biochemical treatment section.
[0091] Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be seen that: since Comparative Examples 1-2 did not filter the carbon black produced by wet oxidation, the COD removal effect was significantly reduced. The reason is that: the wet oxidation reaction produces a lot of carbon black substances, which adhere to the surface of the catalyst that catalyzes the wet oxidation reaction, thereby reducing the catalytic performance; since the COD concentration entering the electrodialysis device is as high as 12470 mg / L, a large amount of organic matter easily adheres to the electrodialysis membrane, causing the rate of ion permeation through the electrodialysis membrane to slow down, resulting in a decrease in the removal rate of ammonia nitrogen and COD.
[0092] Comparative Example 2
[0093] In the apparatus of Example 2, caprolactam wastewater 2 was discharged at a flow rate of 0.8 m³ / s. 3 The solution is fed into a wet oxidation reactor at 195°C and 2.5 MPa for a wet oxidation reaction (residence time of 2 hours), then fed into a membrane filtration device for filtration at a transmembrane pressure difference of 2 bar. The filtrate is then fed into a 1m³ packing tank. 3 In a catalytic wet oxidation reactor using a heterogeneous catalyst (a mixture of cerium oxide and ruthenium oxide at a mass ratio of 1:2, with an average particle size of 10 mm), a catalytic wet oxidation reaction was carried out at 220 °C and 3 MPa (residence time of 3 h). Finally, the catalytic wet oxidation permeate was sent to a membrane deammoniation unit for deammoniation treatment. First, the catalytic wet oxidation permeate was filtered, then the pH value was adjusted to 10 with sodium hydroxide and preheated to 40 °C. The treated catalytic wet oxidation permeate and sulfuric acid solution (pH value of 4.3) were sent to the tube side and shell side of the cross-flow membrane contactor in the membrane deammoniation unit, respectively, for cross-flow absorption reaction (the flow ratio of sulfuric acid solution to wastewater was 1:5, and the residence time was 2 h), resulting in wastewater.
[0094] Testing revealed that after wet oxidation, the COD concentration of the permeate decreased to 34,420 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration to 16,500 mg / L. After catalytic wet oxidation, the COD concentration decreased to 18,631 mg / L, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration to 25,890 mg / L. After ammonia removal by a membrane deammoniation unit, the final COD concentration of the permeate was 18,712 mg / L, with a removal rate of 82.74%, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration was 2,927 mg / L, with a removal rate of 82.61%. The B / C ratio of the permeate increased to 0.28, but the biodegradability was poor, and the COD and ammonia nitrogen concentrations in the permeate exceeded the concentration requirements of the subsequent biological treatment stage.
[0095] Comparing Method Example 3 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that: due to the decrease in the reaction temperature of WAO and CWAO in Comparative Example 2, the COD removal rate decreased; due to the fact that the pH value of the wastewater was only adjusted to 10 in the ammonia removal treatment and the pH value of the sulfuric acid absorption liquid was as high as 4.3, the ammonia nitrogen removal rate decreased significantly, and the B / C value was low due to the excessive ammonia nitrogen.
