TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aluminum product production wastewater treatment, in particular to an oil-containing wastewater treatment system and method in aluminum product production. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are many quality problems in aluminum product production, and oil stain problem is a common quality loss. After the aluminum plate is rolled, too much oil is brought on the surface of the aluminum tip, and there are also excess oil components other than the rolling oil film. When the finished product is inspected and cut in the later stage, these visible oil components will be found on the surface. Many oil components are mainly distributed on the upper and lower parts of the rolling mill outlet or the roll neck, and after splashing, they are dripped on the box surface, causing abnormal conditions in the rolling mill roll cleaner due to oil dripping from the rolling mill thickness measuring head. Moreover, these oils are complex in composition and particularly dirty.
[0003] The oil stains on the surface of the aluminum material will affect the smoothness, flatness and color of the surface of the aluminum material, causing defects such as flaws, unevenness, stains, etc. on the surface of the aluminum material, reducing the grade and value of the product. If no oil removal treatment is performed, the oil stains on the surface of the aluminum material will block the mold, affecting the normal operation of the mold, and also reducing the efficiency of the subsequent process. These oil stains will also block equipment such as grinding tools and drill bits, causing the equipment to wear out faster and increasing the repair and replacement costs of the equipment. Therefore, the production process of aluminum products all includes an oil removal process section. Three traditional oil removal process sections are as follows: (1) alkali etching process: oil removal - water washing - alkali etching - water washing - water washing - lightening - water washing - water washing; (2) acid etching process: oil removal - water washing - acid etching - water washing - water washing - alkali etching - water washing - water washing - lightening - water washing - water washing - oxidation; (3) polishing process: oil removal - water washing - polishing - water washing - water washing - oxidation.
[0004] The above three oil removal process sections generate a lot of oil-containing wastewater. The organic matter (mainly COD and BOD) content in these oil-containing wastewater is very high, usually more than 10 times the discharge standard, and needs to be removed before discharge. The traditional treatment method for oil-containing wastewater is to use a Fenton reaction system to further remove organic matter after removing suspended solids and oils.
[0005] The Fenton reaction system uses a mixed solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and divalent iron ion Fe 2+ to oxidize many known organic compounds such as carboxylic acids, alcohols, and esters into inorganic states. The Fenton reaction system has a high ability to remove refractory organic pollutants, but the dosage of reagents is large, the reaction conditions are harsh, and the introduced reagents need to be removed by a softening precipitation process afterwards, significantly increasing the wastewater treatment cost, and the removal effect is not satisfactory.

[0017] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned oil-containing wastewater treatment system in aluminum product production: the hydrogen production coupled oxidation reactor uses green electricity as electric energy, the removal rate for COD is ≥ 75%, and the removal rate for BOD is ≥ 75%.
[0018] As a further improvement of the oil-containing wastewater treatment system in the production of aluminum products: further comprising a heavy removal unit for removing calcium ions, magnesium ions, aluminum ions, suspended solids and oil impurities in the second liquid or the fourth liquid, and the output water enters the micro-electrolysis unit or is discharged.

[0052] Some terms in the present application are explained as follows:
[0053] Chemical oxygen demand (COD) refers to the amount of reducing substances that need to be oxidized in a water sample measured by a chemical method.
[0054] Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) refers to the amount of dissolved oxygen consumed by microorganisms in the decomposition of certain oxidizable substances (especially organic substances) in a certain volume of water within a certain period of time.
[0055] Green electricity refers to the process of producing electricity with zero or close to zero carbon dioxide emissions, which has lower environmental impact than other methods (such as thermal power generation). The main sources of green electricity are solar energy, wind power, biomass energy, and geothermal energy, with solar energy and wind power being the main sources in China.
[0056] The oil separation tank is a wastewater pretreatment structure that uses the density difference between oil droplets and water to remove floatable oil substances in oil-containing wastewater. Common types of oil separation tanks include horizontal flow oil separation tanks, parallel plate oil separation tanks, and inclined plate oil separation tanks.
[0057] The working principle of the air flotation unit is as follows: a large amount of highly dispersed micro-bubbles (usually requiring the addition of coagulants such as PMA and / or PAC) are introduced into the wastewater using a micro-bubble generating device, which acts as a carrier and adheres to the particles (oil droplets) or flocs suspended in the wastewater, forming a floating body with a density less than the wastewater, which is removed by floating to the surface of the wastewater, forming a floating sludge, and ultimately achieving the purpose of purifying the wastewater. The air flotation unit mainly includes an air flotation machine, which is preferably a high-efficiency shallow air flotation machine, and the treatment capacity is 5 m3 / h, total power is 2.2kW, configured with a micro-bubble generating device, a slag removal device and a coagulant feeding device.
[0058] The working principle of the micro-electrolysis unit is that the iron-carbon alloy (generally iron filings) and inert carbon particles (generally graphite, coke, activated carbon, graphite, etc.) are immersed in wastewater, the carbon particles are cathodes, and the iron-carbon alloy is anode; on the anode, iron loses electrons to generate Fe 2+ , and on the cathode, dissolved oxygen in the wastewater absorbs electrons to generate OH - . The cathode generates nascent hydrogen in a slightly acidic solution, and Fe 2+ and nascent hydrogen both have reducing properties and can undergo redox reactions with some organic matter such as nitro-containing organic matter. Fe 2+ In alkaline conditions, Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 are generated, and nascent Fe(OH)3 has a strong adsorption capacity and can adsorb a large amount of dispersed organic macromolecules in wastewater. The micro-electrolysis unit can use but is not limited to using an iron-carbon micro-electrolysis tank or an iron-carbon micro-electrolysis reaction tower, which is provided with filler water distribution and gas distribution pipelines, pipeline supports, etc., and is configured with a fan and a water inlet pump.
[0059] The working principle of the electrolytic hydrogen production unit is that after direct current is passed, hydrogen ions in water obtain electrons at the cathode to obtain hydrogen gas, and chloride ions in water lose electrons at the anode to become chlorine gas, which is hydrolyzed in water to form chloride ions and hypochlorous acid, Cl - can be repeatedly used; hypochlorous acid has strong oxidizing properties and reacts in water to form ·OH (hydroxyl radical) to complete the advanced oxidation process, using this principle to oxidize total organic matter in water into carbon dioxide and water and other inorganic elements, effectively reducing them to a lower level. The electrolysis unit mainly includes a hydrogen production coupled oxidation reactor, the anode is Ti alloy or Pt alloy, and the cathode is graphite. The hydrogen production coupled oxidation reactor can use but is not limited to using a bipolar pressure filtration type electrolytic cell or a PEM water electrolytic cell.
[0060] The above describes the content of the embodiments of the invention provided in the specification. Those skilled in the art will be able to implement the embodiments of the invention provided in the specification based on these descriptions. Based on the above content of the embodiments of the invention provided in the specification, all other preferred modes and embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor shall belong to the scope of protection of the embodiments of the invention provided in the specification.
