Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater, belonging to the field of wastewater treatment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Coking wastewater is a complex industrial wastewater generated during coke production. It is characterized by high concentrations of organic matter, color, and toxic substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenolic compounds, and ammonia nitrogen. These pollutants not only pose a threat to the environment but also have potential hazards to human health.

[0003] Existing technologies for treating coking wastewater mainly include physical methods such as sedimentation and filtration, primarily used to remove suspended solids and some large organic molecules. Chemical methods, such as coagulation and flocculation, can further remove suspended solids and some dissolved substances. Membrane treatment is also an option. However, the final treatment effect is limited, and there is no systematic process.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN116395876A discloses a zero-discharge pretreatment process for coking wastewater. The process involves adding lime, coagulant aid, and magnesium agent to fully react and clarify the wastewater. The coking wastewater, after passing through an immersion ultrafiltration membrane to remove residual suspended solids and colloids, enters a resin softener to remove residual calcium and magnesium hardness, thus ensuring that the pretreated product water meets the requirements for subsequent membrane concentration feed water. However, the coagulant effect is generally limited, and the flocculation effect is limited in practical applications.

[0005] Chinese patent application CN 104609632 A - A zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater discloses activated carbon adsorption and microwave activated carbon adsorption, which are regenerable. The softening crystallizer can remove hardness from the water and eliminate scaling factors, but its efficiency in degrading recalcitrant organic matter and toxic substances in coking wastewater is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater. This process is highly systematic. The pretreatment process utilizes a specially formulated coagulation and precipitant to efficiently and stably remove high concentrations of suspended solids and colloids, significantly reducing the load on subsequent biochemical treatment. Simultaneously, combined with specific advanced oxidation treatment, pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds are efficiently oxidized and decomposed under the action of composite nanocatalysts. Finally, membrane treatment achieves deep purification of the coking wastewater, producing high-quality reclaimed water. The sludge undergoes concentration and dewatering treatment, and the wastewater is recycled, achieving the goal of zero discharge.

[0007] According to one aspect of this application, a zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0008] a. Coagulation pretreatment: The coking wastewater is introduced into the coagulation reaction tank, a coagulation precipitant is added and rapidly stirred. The coagulation precipitant includes at least the main flocculant and the adsorbent. Then the stirring is slow and the mixture is allowed to settle.

[0009] b. Biochemical treatment: The coking wastewater after coagulation pretreatment is transported to the biochemical treatment system, where it undergoes anaerobic and aerobic reactions in sequence;

[0010] c. Advanced oxidation treatment: The wastewater after biochemical treatment is introduced into an advanced treatment system, and a composite nanocatalyst is added for photo-Fenton advanced oxidation;

[0011] d. Membrane treatment: The wastewater that has undergone deep oxidation treatment is passed through an ultrafiltration system. The wastewater after ultrafiltration enters a reverse osmosis system. The pure water produced is reused, and the reverse osmosis wastewater is returned to the coagulation reaction tank in step a.

[0012] e. Sludge and by-product treatment: Collect the sludge generated during coagulation pretreatment and biochemical treatment, dewater the sludge by pressure filtration, return the filtrate to the coagulation reaction tank in step a, and dispose of the filter cake formed by pressure filtration as solid waste.

[0013] Specifically, in step a, the dosage of the coagulant / precipitant is 200 mg / L, the rapid stirring rate is 300 rpm, and the time is 3 min to ensure that the coagulant and water are fully mixed and to promote the formation of flocs. The slow stirring rate is 50 rpm, and the time is 30 min to promote the growth and sedimentation of flocs and prevent them from breaking down. The settling time is 1 h.

[0014] In step e, sludge dewatering is performed using a filter press with an operating pressure of 3-6 Bar.

[0015] Optionally, the coagulation and precipitating agent in step a includes a primary flocculant, an adsorbent, and a flocculant aid, in a weight ratio of 1:(0.2-0.4):(0.1-0.3).

[0016] Optionally, the main flocculant is polyaluminum chloride and polyaluminum iron oxide in a ratio of 1:(0.1-0.4); the flocculant aid is a polysilicate flocculant.

[0017] Optionally, the adsorbent is a compound modified polyacrylamide, including carboxyl-modified polyacrylamide and sulfonated polyacrylamide, in a weight ratio of 1:(1-1.5).

[0018] Specifically, by using polyaluminum chloride and polyaluminum iron oxide as the main flocculant and limiting the proportion, the polynuclear complexes and hydrophobic aluminum hydroxyl clusters generated by hydrolysis in water can effectively neutralize the surface charge of suspended particles, promote particle aggregation, increase the weight and size of particles, and accelerate their sedimentation. The synergistic effect of the two can enhance the coagulation effect and more effectively remove suspended particles and some organic matter.

[0019] Furthermore, the adsorbent used is a compound modified polyacrylamide (PAM) (carboxyl-modified PAM and sulfonated PAM). By introducing specific functional groups and performing surface modification, the modified PAM can more effectively form chemical bonds or exhibit stronger physical adsorption with specific organic pollutants and heavy metal ions, thereby improving removal efficiency. Simultaneously, mild cross-linking increases the connections between molecular chains, improving the material's stability and durability, and adapting it to complex wastewater treatment environments. Through the polar effect of the carboxyl groups, the adsorption of organic matter, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds, is enhanced. The sulfate groups, through forming strong ionic bonds or chelation, effectively remove heavy metal ions from water, enhance floc stability during coagulation, improve suspended solids removal efficiency, and exhibit stronger adsorption capacity for specific organic pollutants.

[0020] Specifically, using polysilicate flocculants as flocculants can increase the strength and settling velocity of flocs, improve treatment efficiency, and enhance coagulation performance under low temperature or low turbidity conditions. Polysilicate flocculants strengthen the structure of flocs by providing additional bridging, making them more stable and easier to settle, and offering additional opportunities to capture small particles or suspended solids that are difficult to remove.

[0021] Optionally, the preparation method of carboxyl-modified polyacrylamide is as follows: dissolve polyacrylamide in water, add acrylic acid, use potassium persulfate as an initiator, react at 60-70℃ for 2-4 hours, and then purify and dry to obtain the product.

[0022] The preparation method of sulfonated modified polyacrylamide is as follows: dissolve polyacrylamide in water, add 2-acryloyl-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, use potassium persulfate as an initiator, react at 60-70℃ for 1-3 hours, and then purify and dry to obtain the product.

[0023] Specifically, the preparation of the polyacrylamide solution is as follows: polyacrylamide concentration: 1-3%, solvent: deionized water.

[0024] Acrylic acid dosage: Based on the mass of polyacrylamide, the amount of acrylic acid added is 10-20% of the mass of polyacrylamide. Addition method: Add slowly dropwise to avoid localized over-reaction. Initiator (potassium persulfate) dosage: Based on the mass of acrylic acid, the amount of potassium persulfate added is 1-2% of the mass of acrylic acid. Addition method: Mix thoroughly to ensure complete reaction.

[0025] Purification and drying: Purification method: remove unreacted monomers and byproducts by centrifugation; Drying method: freeze drying to obtain a powdered product.

[0026] Purification centrifugation parameters: centrifugation speed: 6000 rpm, centrifugation time: 30 min.

[0027] Freeze-drying parameters: temperature -20℃, time 5h, maintaining low vacuum pressure 0.3mBar.

[0028] In the preparation method of sulfonated modified polyacrylamide, the amount of 2-acryloyl-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid added is 10% of the mass of polyacrylamide, and the other steps are the same as above.

[0029] Optionally, in step b, an anaerobic reaction is carried out first, with the temperature controlled at 35-37℃, the pH at 6.5-7.5, and the hydraulic retention time at 12-24h.

[0030] Then, an aerobic reaction is carried out, with the temperature controlled at 20-30℃, dissolved oxygen at 2-4 mg / L, pH at 6.8-7.5, and hydraulic retention time at 6-12 hours.

[0031] Optionally, in step b, the aerobic reactor is connected to an aeration system, which can adjust the aeration rate according to the biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand of the wastewater.

[0032] Optionally, step c, the advanced treatment system, involves advanced oxidation treatment using a photo-Fenton process in a continuous flow reactor at a pH of 3-4 for a reaction time of 1-2 hours.

[0033] Optionally, the concentration of the composite nanocatalyst in step c is 0.5-1 g / L, including a photocatalyst and a Fenton catalyst, with a weight ratio of (4-6):1;

[0034] The photocatalyst is titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and the Fenton catalyst is iron-based nanoparticles.

[0035] Preferably, the iron-based nanoparticles are Fe2O3 or Fe3O4.

[0036] Specifically, the photo-Fenton process parameters are: pH 3-4, with a suitable acidic environment favoring the Fenton reaction; reaction time 1-2 hours, adjusted in actual production based on wastewater characteristics and pollutant quality.

[0037] Light source: ultraviolet lamp, wavelength 254nm, to stimulate the photocatalytic activity of TiO2.

[0038] Photocatalyst: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. Particle size: 20-50 nm; smaller particle size helps improve photocatalytic efficiency. Morphology: Isotropic to ensure maximum light exposure area and reaction activity.

[0039] Fenton catalyst: Iron-based nanoparticles, Fe2O3 or Fe3O4. Particle size: 10-30 nm; smaller particle size helps increase the reaction surface area and reaction rate. Concentration: 0.5-1 g / L, adjusted according to the characteristics of the wastewater. Oxidant: Hydrogen peroxide, dosage adjusted according to pollutant concentration, 100-200 mg / L.

[0040] Optionally, in step d, the ultrafiltration system uses a polysulfone or polyimide-based ultrafiltration membrane with a pore size of 0.01-0.1 μm, an operating pressure of 1-3 Bar, and a flow rate of 20-60 L / m. 2 ·h.

[0041] The beneficial effects that this application may produce include, but are not limited to:

[0042] 1. The zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater provided in this application employs a specific coagulant-precipitant. Through charge neutralization and adsorption bridging, the coagulant-precipitant aggregates tiny suspended particles into larger flocs, facilitating sedimentation and removal. The combination of the main flocculant and adsorbent enhances treatment efficiency, particularly in the removal of fine suspended particles and certain dissolved organic matter. It rapidly removes a large amount of suspended solids and some macromolecular organic matter, significantly reducing the load on subsequent treatment processes and decreasing the concentration of harmful substances such as heavy metals and certain organic pollutants, thus creating more suitable conditions for subsequent biochemical treatment.

[0043] 2. The zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater provided in this application, wherein the two modification methods of adsorbent compound modified polyacrylamide can significantly enhance the performance of PAM in coking wastewater treatment, especially in the targeted removal of recalcitrant organic matter (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds) and heavy metal ions, providing important support for the overall effect of the coagulation system.

[0044] 3. The zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater provided in this application mainly targets recalcitrant organic matter in the anaerobic reaction during biochemical treatment. Through the anaerobic metabolism of microorganisms, these organic matter is converted into intermediate products that are easily degraded by aerobic reactions. The aerobic reaction further degrades these intermediate products, converting them into CO2 and H2O through the metabolic action of microorganisms. By degrading organic matter through microorganisms, the concentration of organic pollutants is significantly reduced, especially for pollutants with good biodegradability. At the same time, the combination of anaerobic and aerobic reactions achieves more comprehensive and efficient degradation of organic matter.

[0045] 4. The coking wastewater zero-discharge treatment process provided in this application involves TiO2 nanoparticles generating highly reactive free radicals under ultraviolet light excitation during the photo-Fenton reaction in the deep oxidation treatment. These free radicals can efficiently attack and destroy the chemical bonds of organic matter, thereby achieving rapid degradation. Iron-based nanoparticles catalyze hydrogen peroxide to generate additional free radicals in the Fenton reaction, further enhancing the oxidation degradation effect. The deep oxidation process significantly improves the effluent quality, providing a cleaner water source for subsequent membrane treatment or reuse.

[0046] 5. The zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater provided in this application utilizes ultrafiltration membranes to effectively remove suspended particles and some large organic molecules, serving as a pretreatment step before reverse osmosis and reducing the risk of reverse osmosis membrane fouling. The reverse osmosis membrane effectively removes dissolved salts, small organic molecules, and inorganic substances, producing pure water. This achieves deep purification of coking wastewater, removing fine suspended particles, dissolved substances, and certain heavy metal ions, generating high-quality reclaimed water, reducing wastewater discharge, and achieving the zero-discharge goal.

[0047] 6. The zero-discharge treatment process for coking wastewater provided in this application significantly reduces the volume of sludge after thickening and dewatering, making it easier to transport and dispose of. The filtrate is returned to the coagulation reaction tank, reducing the demand for fresh water and improving the efficiency of water resource utilization. Attached Figure Description
