Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of chemical industry and environmental protection, and particularly relates to a phenol acetone production and wastewater treatment system and process. BACKGROUND
[0002] High-concentration high-salt wastewater treatment is a recognized problem in the petroleum refining industry, including phenol acetone wastewater. The wastewater discharged by phenol acetone production has high organic matter concentration and complex composition, and contains high-concentration salts, which is a relatively difficult chemical wastewater to treat. The high sulfate content and high organic matter concentration of phenol acetone production wastewater have a great toxic effect on microorganisms in conventional biological treatment methods.
[0003] Currently, the treatment technologies for phenol acetone wastewater mainly include adsorption method, biological treatment method, wet peroxide oxidation treatment technology, and electro-catalytic oxidation technology, but there are still problems such as high COD, high color, difficult deep treatment, and non-resource utilization, which have become one of the important factors restricting the wastewater treatment of petrochemical enterprises to meet the standards. With increasingly stringent environmental protection standards, traditional treatment technologies have been difficult to meet higher requirements. Since the wastewater discharged by phenol acetone production contains high-concentration sulfate, if it is treated for zero discharge, it can be converted into valuable industrial salt.
[0004] In the process of near-zero discharge treatment of high-salt industrial wastewater, the core mainly includes pretreatment, reduction, and evaporation crystallization. Currently, the zero discharge treatment of high-salt industrial wastewater usually first removes hardness and decarbonizes to remove colloidal substances, hardness, and alkalinity in industrial wastewater, and then performs traditional thermal crystallization to reduce the pollution of pollutants to the subsequent reduction unit, or to reduce the corrosion and scaling and plugging of the equipment in the subsequent thermal concentration unit. However, there are problems such as long process, large occupied area, and high energy consumption, and the decarbonization unit will add acid, increasing industrial salt.
[0005] Based on the existing phenol acetone production process, the production process is regulated, and a zero discharge process for phenol acetone production wastewater is developed, which can realize the quality improvement of product salt and truly realize the resource treatment of phenol acetone production wastewater, which has great significance.

[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but this does not constitute any limitation on the present invention.
[0041] A phenol-acetone production and wastewater treatment system is disclosed. The production system includes a reactor, an evaporator, a decomposition vessel, a neutralization vessel, a water washing tower, and a distillation tower connected sequentially by pipelines. A decarbonization unit is installed between the decomposition vessel and the neutralization vessel. The decarbonization unit is a blower-type decarbonization unit, in which air blown into the decarbonization unit comes into contact with the liquid being sprayed in. The air-to-water ratio inside the decarbonization unit is 20-35 m³ / h. 3 air / m 3 Water; wastewater generated by the production system enters the wastewater treatment system through pipelines.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the wastewater treatment system includes an organometallic membrane filter, an evaporator / concentrator, a chilled water inlet regulating tank, a cryogenic crystallizer, an organic matter removal device, and an evaporator / crystallizer connected sequentially via pipelines. The cryogenic crystallizer includes a mother liquor outlet I, which is connected to a mother liquor drying unit. The evaporator / crystallizer includes a mother liquor outlet II, which is connected to the inlet of the chilled water inlet regulating tank. A centrifuge and a dissolving tank are sequentially arranged between the cryogenic crystallizer and the electrocatalytic oxidation device. The organic matter removal device can be an electrocatalytic oxidation device. The product water outlet of the organometallic membrane filter is connected to the inlet water of the evaporator / concentrator. The product water outlet of the evaporator / concentrator is connected to the inlet water of the cryogenic crystallizer via the chilled water inlet regulating tank. The product water outlet of the cryogenic crystallizer is connected to the dissolving tank via the centrifuge. The high-concentration sodium sulfate solution outlet of the dissolving tank is connected to the inlet water of the electrocatalytic oxidation device. The product water outlet of the electrocatalytic oxidation device is connected to the inlet water of the evaporator / crystallizer.
[0043] The organometallic membrane filter uses an organometallic ultrafiltration membrane to remove petroleum-based substances and suspended solids from wastewater. The evaporator concentrates and reduces the volume of wastewater, which then enters the cryogenic crystallization unit via a chilled water inlet regulating tank. The cryogenic crystallization unit obtains crude sodium sulfate crystals and dissolves them into a high-concentration sodium sulfate solution. The mother liquor produced by the cryogenic crystallization unit enters the mother liquor drying unit for drying. The organic matter removal unit removes organic matter and color from the high-concentration sodium sulfate solution. The resulting sodium sulfate solution is then processed by an evaporator crystallizer to produce anhydrous sodium sulfate. The mother liquor produced by the evaporator crystallizer is returned to the chilled water inlet regulating tank in the cryogenic crystallization unit, achieving zero discharge.
[0044] The production process of this invention includes oxidizing and decomposing cumene, followed by decarbonization treatment, and then recovering phenol and acetone; the decarbonization treatment time is 15-25 minutes. The phenol-acetone wastewater generated by the production process is then treated.
[0045] like Figure 1As shown, the phenol acetone wastewater treatment process provided by the present application is as follows:
[0046] Step 1, the phenol acetone wastewater is pressurized by a pump and enters an organic metal membrane filter to remove petroleum substances and solid suspensions;
[0047] Step 2, further reduction is achieved by evaporation concentration;
[0048] Step 3, the concentrated liquid is subjected to freeze crystallization to produce sodium sulfate decahydrate;
[0049] Step 4, the sodium sulfate decahydrate obtained by freeze crystallization is subjected to dissolution and removal of organic substances and then enters an evaporation crystallizer to obtain sodium sulfate crystals.
[0050] In the above technical solution, the water quality characteristics of the phenol acetone wastewater are as follows: acetone 50-300 mg / L, petroleum substances 1-300 mg / L, COD 3000-6000 mg / L, TDS 30000-40000 mg / L, total alkali 40-50 mg / L, and temperature 70-90℃.
[0051] In step 1, the phenol acetone wastewater can directly enter the organic metal membrane filter without heat exchange, thereby reducing the heat exchange unit and shortening the treatment process. The pore size of the organic metal membrane in the organic metal membrane filter is 5-50 nm, and the flux is 20-50 LMH. The organic metal membrane filter has oil resistance, high temperature resistance, acetone resistance, and alkalinity resistance.
[0052] In step 2, the evaporation concentrator adopts one of multi-effect evaporation concentration technology and MVR evaporation concentration technology, and the preferred one is three-effect evaporation technology. The heat source uses waste heat such as factory waste heat as low-temperature heat source. After step 2, the salt content of the evaporation concentrator discharge is ≥200,000 mg / L, and the condensate is returned to the device for device production water supplement.
[0053] In step 3, the freeze crystallization device is selected from one of an FC type crystallizer, a DTB type crystallizer, or an Oslo crystallizer, and the preferred one is an FC type crystallizer. The freeze crystallization treatment conditions include a crystallization temperature of -3-0℃.
[0054] The above freeze crystallization devices are all center backflow feeding, and the sodium sulfate crystals are settled from the upper end of the cooling crystallizer, which ensures sufficient residence time and ensures that the sodium sulfate crystals grow to a sufficient size. In addition, special overflow plates are designed in the above cooling crystallizers to prevent sodium sulfate crystals from being discharged with the upper layer mother liquor. The mother liquor of the freeze crystallization device enters a mother liquor drying unit, and the miscellaneous salt formed by the mother liquor drying is concentrated and transported out for treatment.
[0055] In step 4, the organic matter removal adopts electro-catalytic oxidation treatment to remove organic matter and decolorization. In the electro-catalytic oxidation device, the anode plate is made of titanium-based material coated with a composite noble metal plating layer, and the cathode is made of stainless steel.
[0056] On the basis of the above technical solutions, in the electro-catalytic oxidation treatment, the current density is 80-300 mA / cm 2 , the electrode plate distance is 2-6 cm, and the reaction time is 3-120 minutes.
[0057] In step 4, the evaporation crystallizer is a forced circulation crystallizer, preferably an Os-Lo crystallizer; the concentrated water entering the crystallizer separation chamber is flashed to release heat in the form of water vapor. As evaporation proceeds, the concentration of the concentrated liquid increases. As the evaporation process continues, the brine in the crystallizer shell is further concentrated to produce crystallization, and the salt slurry is discharged to a centrifuge for dewatering treatment to produce sodium sulfate crystalline salt crystals, and the mother liquor is returned to the refrigerated feed water conditioning tank for re-refrigeration and crystallization, thereby improving the overall salt recovery rate of the system, and the COD content in the mother liquor is less than 2000 mg / L. The conditions for evaporation crystallization treatment include: pressure 0.4-1 MPa, feed temperature 40-60℃, evaporation temperature 50-70℃.
[0058] On the basis of the above technical solutions, the purity of the sodium sulfate salt obtained after separation and drying in step 4 is more than 98%, meeting the Class II first-class product standard in GB / T 6009-2014 "Industrial Anhydrous Sodium Sulfate". It can be recycled as a renewable resource.

[0060] The organic metal membrane filter is a polycera Titan series spiral membrane from the United States;
[0061] The evaporation concentrator is a three-effect evaporator;
[0062] The refrigeration crystallization device is an FC type crystallizer;
[0063] The evaporation crystallizer is an Os-Lo crystallizer;
[0064] The electro-catalytic oxidation uses a Guodeng Futong ERO electro-catalytic integrated device, in which the anode plate is a titanium substrate coated with a composite noble metal plating layer, and the cathode plate is stainless steel.

[0070] Step 4, the sodium sulfate decahydrate crystals obtained by refrigeration crystallization are dissolved, and then the solution is subjected to electrolysis at a current density of 300 mA / cm 2 for 3 minutes, and then enters the evaporation crystallizer for 2-effect circulating flash evaporation (temperature 60°C) to obtain sodium sulfate crystals. The mother liquor produced in the evaporation crystallizer is returned to the refrigeration water conditioning tank and then subjected to refrigeration crystallization again to improve the salt recovery rate of the whole system. After separation and drying, 400 kg of sodium sulfate salt with a purity of 99.5% is obtained, which meets the I-class product standard in the II-class standard in GB / T 6009-2014 Industrial Anhydrous Sodium Sulfate.

[0077] Comparative Example 1
[0078] In this comparative example, the water quality characteristics of the phenol acetone wastewater treated are the same as in Example 1. The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that a PVDF material outer pressure type hollow fiber membrane is used for filtration before decarburization. Under the same operating conditions; the PVDF material ultrafiltration membrane has a short service life, low petroleum removal rate, and is easy to be blocked, and has a short cleaning cycle.
[0079] Comparative Example 2
[0080] In the present comparative example, the phenol acetone wastewater treated has the same quality characteristics as in Example 1.

As a result, it is found that the energy consumption of the evaporation and concentration preheating stage is increased, and the generation of impurities in the mother liquor is increased.
