Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically to an apparatus and method for simultaneously treating wastewater from the production of electrolytes and carbonates. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the demand for batteries and their key components, such as electrolytes, is also growing rapidly. Electrolytes mainly consist of solvents, additives, and electrolytes. Solvents are typically carbonates, such as ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate. Electrolytes are usually fluorinated compounds, such as lithium hexafluorophosphate or sodium hexafluorophosphate.

[0003] The production processes of electrolytes and carbonates generate two types of wastewater with different sources and compositions. Traditionally, these two types of wastewater are treated separately, requiring independent electrolyte wastewater treatment and organic solvent wastewater treatment systems. However, this approach not only increases equipment investment costs for businesses but also occupies significant space. More seriously, the odor generated during wastewater treatment is also a problem that needs to be addressed, necessitating additional odor control equipment.

[0004] Therefore, to solve the above problems, it is necessary to provide an apparatus and method for simultaneously treating wastewater from electrolyte and carbonate production processes. This method can not only reduce wastewater treatment costs for enterprises, but also reduce the required floor space and improve treatment efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The gas outlets of the fluoride-containing wastewater pretreatment system 10, the organic wastewater pretreatment system 30, and the biochemical treatment system 50 are respectively connected to the odor treatment system 90.

[0029] In some preferred embodiments, the fluoride wastewater pretreatment system 10 includes, sequentially along the water flow direction, a fluoride wastewater collection tank 11, a defluorination reaction tank 13, and a first coagulation sedimentation tank 15. The fluoride wastewater collection tank 11 is used to collect wastewater from electrolyte production. Preferably, the fluoride wastewater collection tank 11 is equipped with an air agitator to agitate the collected wastewater, ensuring uniformity of the components and facilitating subsequent treatment. Preferably, the gas generated in the fluoride wastewater collection tank 11 can be discharged into the odor treatment system 90.

The specific process of the fluoride-containing wastewater pretreatment system 10 is as follows: wastewater from the electrolyte production process enters the fluoride-containing wastewater collection tank 11 and is stirred evenly. Then it flows into the defluorination reaction tank 13 and is reacted with added chemicals to generate calcium fluoride precipitate. Coagulants and flocculants are added to facilitate gravity sedimentation and removal from the water.

With the help of the return branch 38, a small portion of the supernatant after treatment in the acidification sedimentation tank 39 is returned to the pre-acidification tank 37, while most of the supernatant is discharged into the biochemical treatment system 50. This design can be controlled by adding valves. Adding a return branch is beneficial for the pre-acidification tank 37 to convert refractory toxic organic matter into small molecule easily degradable organic matter.The specific process of the organic wastewater pretreatment system 30 is as follows: Wastewater generated during the carbonate production process is discharged into the organic wastewater collection tank 31. After preliminary stirring and adjustment, it is transported to the catalytic hydrolysis tank 33. In the catalytic hydrolysis tank 33, ethylene oxide is catalytically hydrolyzed into ethylene glycol. The effluent from the catalytic hydrolysis tank 33 is discharged into the neutralization tank 35 to adjust the pH of the wastewater back to neutral. Then, the effluent enters the pre-acidification tank 37. Utilizing the action of hydrolytic acidifying bacteria in the pre-acidification tank 37, the toxic organic matter in the water, such as ethylene oxide, which is difficult to degrade, is converted into small-molecule, easily degradable organic matter.

Preferably, a return flow path 59 is provided between the aerobic sedimentation tank 56 and the hydrolysis tank 54 and the aerobic tank 55. The return flow path 59 allows part of the supernatant after separation in the aerobic sedimentation tank 56 to be returned to the hydrolysis tank 54 and the aerobic tank 55, extending the reaction time, further improving the biochemical efficiency, and ensuring the completeness of the reaction. Part of the effluent is discharged into the terminal coagulation sedimentation tank 57, and the separated sludge is discharged into the sludge treatment system 70. The generated odor is sent to the odor treatment system 90. The effluent from the final coagulation sedimentation tank 57 enters the wastewater monitoring tank 58, which is equipped with various analytical instruments to detect whether the wastewater meets the standards. These analytical instruments include, but are not limited to, ammonia nitrogen testers, COD testers, BOD testers, SS testers, TP testers, TN testers, pH meters, and ultrasonic flow meters. If the test results meet the standards, the wastewater is discharged; if not, it is returned to the IC anaerobic tower 52 for further treatment. The specific process of the biochemical treatment system 50 is as follows: the supernatant after treatment in the acidification sedimentation tank 39 is discharged into the equalization tank 51, and the supernatant after treatment in the first coagulation sedimentation tank 15 is discharged into the equalization tank 51. After being stirred evenly in the equalization tank 51, it flows into the IC anaerobic tower 52. The IC anaerobic tower 52 uses the action of anaerobic bacteria to convert organic matter in the water into methane. The effluent from the IC anaerobic tower 52 flows into the biological selection tank 53. The biological selection tank 53 adjusts the water quality and quantity and stirs the water at the same time, which has the effect of anaerobic treatment, inhibits the growth of filamentous bacteria, and prevents sludge bulking. The effluent from the biological selection tank 53 enters the hydrolysis tank 54. In the hydrolysis tank 54, under the action of hydrolytic acidifying bacteria, the residual large molecular recalcitrant organic matter in the water is decomposed into small molecules. Easily degradable organic matter is discharged from the hydrolysis tank 54 into the aerobic tank 55, where the organic matter is fully degraded.

Part of the supernatant is returned to the hydrolysis tank 54 and the aerobic tank 55, while part of the effluent is discharged into the terminal coagulation sedimentation tank 57. The separated sludge is discharged into the sludge treatment system 70. The odor emitted from the equalization tank 51, IC anaerobic tower 52, biological selection tank 53, hydrolysis tank 54, aerobic tank 55, and aerobic sedimentation tank 56 is sent to the odor treatment system 90. The effluent from the terminal coagulation sedimentation tank 57 enters the wastewater monitoring tank 58. If the test results meet the standards, the effluent is discharged; otherwise, it is returned to the IC anaerobic tower 52 for further treatment.

Sludge discharged from the fluoride-containing wastewater pretreatment system 10, the organic wastewater pretreatment system 30, and the biochemical treatment system 50 enters the sludge thickening tank 71, and the sludge filter press 73 compresses the sludge transported from the sludge thickening tank 71. During the wastewater treatment process of the fluoride-containing wastewater pretreatment system 10, the organic wastewater pretreatment system 30, and the biochemical treatment system 50, the discharged sludge flows into the sludge thickening tank 71, and then the sludge is compressed by the sludge filter press 73. The dewatered sludge cake is disposed of externally, and the filtrate flows into the equalization tank 51.

[0033] In some preferred embodiments, the odor treatment system 90 includes an alkaline spray tower 91, an activated carbon adsorption tower 93, a blower 95, and a chimney 97. After the odorous gas undergoes acid removal and deodorization in the alkaline spray tower 91 and activated carbon adsorption tower 93 respectively, it is then introduced into the chimney 97 for emission using the blower 95. Specifically, the alkaline spray tower 91 uses a certain concentration of alkaline solution for spraying, which can remove small amounts of acidic gases such as hydrogen fluoride that may be present in the odor components, preventing corrosion of the equipment. After treatment in the alkaline spray tower 91, the gas is transported to the activated carbon adsorption tower 93, where it adsorbs various odor components. The purified gas is then introduced into the chimney 97 for emission using the blower 95.

[0034] In summary, this invention can simultaneously treat wastewater from the electrolyte production process and wastewater from the carbonate production process, reducing equipment investment and operating costs. It can also treat wastewater from two different sources and with different compositions with high quality, achieving excellent purification quality, high operating efficiency, and ensuring that wastewater meets discharge standards, thus ensuring safety and environmental protection.
