Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste sulfuric acid recovery technology, specifically to a method for recovering and treating waste sulfuric acid generated in the dye industry. Background Technology
[0002] The dye industry uses high-concentration sulfuric acid in its reprocessing, generating waste sulfuric acid with a concentration ranging from 6% to 51%. This waste sulfuric acid has a complex composition, containing certain amounts of heavy metals such as copper ions, as well as hydrochloric acid, bromine, and sulfur. The composition of the waste sulfuric acid varies significantly depending on the product being processed. The conventional treatment method involves neutralizing the waste sulfuric acid with calcium hydroxide. However, this requires large quantities of calcium hydroxide, generating a significant amount of calcium sulfate-containing sludge, which can only be treated as hazardous waste. Wastewater treatment costs are high, and there are also issues such as the inability to recover sulfuric acid resources, high product consumption, and pipe scaling. Waste sulfuric acid needs to be concentrated to a high concentration (above 90%) for resource recovery. Evaporation is a relatively economical and feasible method for concentration; however, due to the numerous impurities in the waste sulfuric acid, direct evaporation results in a mother liquor with a sulfuric acid concentration that does not reach the desired level. Furthermore, the concentration of organic matter makes the mother liquor viscous, hindering effective resource utilization.
[0003] Waste sulfuric acid needs to be concentrated to a high concentration (over 90%) during resource recovery. Evaporation is a relatively economical and feasible method for concentration. However, due to the large amount of impurities in waste sulfuric acid, direct evaporation will result in the mother liquor's sulfuric acid concentration not reaching the expected level. Furthermore, the concentration of organic matter makes the mother liquor viscous, hindering effective resource utilization. Waste sulfuric acid contains a large amount of organic matter, metal ions, inorganic salts, and other impurities. Therefore, most of the organic matter in the wastewater needs to be removed before evaporation and concentration to obtain reusable sulfuric acid that meets the requirements.
[0004] This technical solution employs a resin adsorption + evaporation process specially designed for the characteristics of waste sulfuric acid. First, resin adsorption is used to remove some organic matter from the wastewater. Then, an evaporation process is designed based on the boiling point rise during sulfuric acid concentration and the characteristics of organic matter in the components. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a method and system for recycling and treating waste sulfuric acid generated in the dye industry.
[0006] The technical solution of this invention is: a method for recycling and treating waste sulfuric acid generated in the dye industry, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1. Filtration treatment:
[0008] First, the waste sulfuric acid is pre-filtered to obtain pre-filtered water. Then, the pre-filtered water is filtered a second time using a high-efficiency organic matter removal resin to obtain secondary-filtered water. Finally, the high-efficiency organic matter removal resin is desorbed.
[0009] S2. Concentration Process:
[0010] The filtered water undergoes three preheating processes, three negative pressure evaporations, single-effect negative pressure evaporation concentration, and high-vacuum low-temperature concentration purification in sequence; the temperature range for the three preheating processes is T0.
[0011] S2-1. Based on the initial concentration C of sulfuric acid in the waste sulfuric acid, determine the temperature T1 of the three negative pressure evaporations. Then, adjust the temperature T1 and the time t1 of the three negative pressure evaporations to make the sulfuric acid mass concentration C1 in the initial concentrated liquid obtained by the three negative pressure evaporations ≥ 60%, thus completing the three negative pressure evaporation treatment.
[0012] S2-2. Then, the initial concentrate is concentrated by single-effect preheater and single-effect separator. The temperature T2 and time t2 of the single-effect negative pressure evaporation are adjusted until the sulfuric acid mass concentration C2 in the secondary concentrate is ≥80%, and the treatment is completed.
[0013] S2-3. Subsequently, the secondary concentrate is concentrated and purified under high vacuum and low temperature. The high vacuum and low temperature concentration and purification process is as follows: First, the secondary concentrate is concentrated in a concentration kettle to obtain concentrated sulfuric acid. The high vacuum and low temperature concentration and purification temperature T3 and the high vacuum and low temperature concentration and purification time t3 are adjusted until the mass concentration of concentrated sulfuric acid C3≥90% is obtained.
[0014] S3, Decolorization and Collection:
[0015] Under low vacuum and at a temperature of T4, a 63% nitric acid solution is added to concentrated sulfuric acid for decolorization. After decolorization, the concentrated sulfuric acid is kept warm and distilled for 1 to 1.5 hours, and then cooled to a temperature of 25 to 35°C to obtain a liquid. The liquid is then subjected to solid-liquid separation, and the separated filtrate is collected in a concentrated sulfuric acid collection tank to complete the sulfuric acid recovery process.
[0016] Explanation: The above-mentioned resin adsorption can adsorb and remove large molecular organic matter, while facilitating subsequent evaporation and improving the concentration and purity of the sulfuric acid obtained by evaporation. Through the evaporation process, multiple evaporation processes can be used to remove water and impurities of various boiling points. At the same time, multi-stage treatment can greatly reduce the loss of sulfuric acid.
[0017] Furthermore, the highly efficient organic matter removal resin is an acrylate-based macroporous adsorption resin.
[0018] Note: It has high adsorption capacity and good chemical stability, and can provide a large surface area and pore volume, which is beneficial for adsorbing target substances.
[0019] Furthermore, the high-efficiency organic matter removal resin is a composite resin composed of acrylate-based macroporous adsorption resin, silica powder, 2-aminothiazole, and polystyrene microspheres as raw materials.
[0020] Note: Polystyrene microspheres possess chemical stability and tunable pore size, making them widely used in separation, purification, catalysis, and other fields. They have numerous pores and surface active sites, allowing them to adsorb target substances such as organic matter and metal ions during the adsorption process. 2-Aminothiazole can form complexes with metal ions and adsorb them from the solution to the resin surface through ion exchange. Silica powder has a large specific surface area and microporous structure.
[0021] Furthermore, the preparation method of the composite acrylate-based macroporous adsorption resin is as follows:
[0022] Acrylate-based macroporous adsorption resin, silica powder, 2-aminothiazole, and polystyrene microspheres were prepared according to a mass ratio of 8-9:1-2:5:2-3. The silica powder and 2-aminothiazole were mixed at 130-135℃ and then granulated to obtain powder particles with a particle size of 1-3 mm. The powder particles, acrylate-based macroporous adsorption resin, and polystyrene microspheres were then mixed and added to a twin-screw granulator for shearing and extrusion granulation to obtain a composite acrylate-based macroporous adsorption resin composition.
[0023] Among them, the silicon micro powder is selected with a particle size of 230-350 nm, and the polystyrene microspheres are selected with a particle size of 20-50 μm.
[0024] Note: The above raw materials can be combined with acrylate-based macroporous adsorption resin to achieve complementary effects, thus solving the problems of limited selectivity, difficulty in adsorbing small molecules, and low loading capacity.
[0025] Furthermore, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the waste sulfuric acid ranges from 6% to 51%; the three-stage negative pressure evaporation includes first-effect evaporation, second-effect evaporation, and third-effect evaporation with a temperature difference of 5°C increasing sequentially.
[0026] In step S2, the method for determining the temperature range T1 of the three negative pressure evaporations is as follows: based on the initial concentration C of sulfuric acid in the waste sulfuric acid, when 20% > C ≥ 6%, the value range of T1 is determined to be 89-100℃; when 35% > C ≥ 20%, the value range of T1 is determined to be 105-110℃; when 51% > C ≥ 35%, the value range of T1 is determined to be 120-130℃, and T1 ≥ T0 + 20, T2 ≥ T1 + 10, and 150℃ > T3 ≥ T2 + 10.
[0027] Explanation: By setting the temperature range conditions mentioned above, the corresponding primary temperature range can be determined based on the initial concentration, allowing the system temperature to be gradually heated. This ensures constant treatment of waste sulfuric acid while minimizing energy consumption and achieving energy-saving effects.
[0028] Furthermore, the time range t2 for single-effect negative pressure evaporation is: when 70% > C1 ≥ 60%, t2 = When 80% > C1 ≥ 70% Where k ranges from 0.8 to 1; t1 ranges from 0.5 to 1.5h; and t3 ranges from 0.5 to 1.5h.
[0029] The range of values for T4 is when 95% > C3 ≥ 90%. When 100% > C3 ≥ 95%, T4 = 1.1T3.
[0030] Note: By determining the time range mentioned above, the entire process of the system can be made controllable and adjustable. This ensures that the sulfuric acid concentration can be maximized while minimizing the time required, thereby improving process efficiency. Conversely, directly increasing the temperature would result in the sulfuric acid concentration in the mother liquor not reaching the expected level, thus hindering effective resource utilization.
[0031] Further, in step S1, methanol or liquid alkali is used to desorb the resin that removes organic matter efficiently; in step S3, nitric acid solution is added to concentrated sulfuric acid at a mass ratio of 1:0.0001 to 0.001.

[0036] Furthermore, the resin adsorption tower, the three-stage preheater, and the first-effect evaporation unit are connected in sequence through a third pipeline. The first-effect evaporation unit, the second-effect evaporation unit, and the third-effect evaporation unit all include an evaporator and a separator. The cooling kettle is equipped with a recovery condenser. The pipeline system is equipped with an electric valve.
[0037] Note: The above system settings enable the filtration, evaporation, and decolorization processes in the waste sulfuric acid treatment method described above.

[0039] The separator steam exhaust port of the double-effect evaporator unit is connected to the shell side of the evaporator of the triple-effect evaporator unit through the third steam pipe, and the separator condensate drain port of the double-effect evaporator unit is connected to the first-stage preheater through the second liquid pipe. The first-stage preheater is connected to the condensate tank.

[0042] Note: By connecting the above-mentioned evaporator, pipes and separator, the heat generated in the multi-stage evaporation process can be used for multiple preheating processes, thus achieving heat recovery.
[0043] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0044] (1) This invention uses a combination of resin adsorption and evaporation to remove most of the large molecular organic matter by resin adsorption in the front stage. The resin adsorption and evaporation process can effectively remove organic matter in wastewater and reduce the pollutant content during the evaporation process. Compared with the calcium hydroxide neutralization treatment in conventional treatment methods, resin adsorption can reduce the cost of wastewater treatment and can recover sulfuric acid resources in waste sulfuric acid.
[0045] (2) This invention, through the design of resin adsorption and evaporation processes, can concentrate waste sulfuric acid into high-concentration sulfuric acid (over 90%). Compared with the method of directly evaporating waste sulfuric acid, this technical solution, by specifically setting multi-stage evaporation temperatures and evaporation times based on the differences in boiling points of impurities in waste sulfuric acid and the complex composition of the waste sulfuric acid solution, and dynamically adjusting them according to the concentration of sulfuric acid after evaporation, can avoid the problem that impurities in waste sulfuric acid cause the sulfuric acid concentration of the mother liquor to not reach the expected level, ensuring efficient concentration in the evaporation process; at the same time, it can effectively solve the problem of viscous mother liquor, realizing the resource utilization of waste sulfuric acid.

[0058] Example 2
[0059] A recycling method using the system described in Example 1 includes the following steps:
[0060] S1. Filtration treatment:
[0061] First, the waste sulfuric acid is initially filtered using an adsorption system to obtain pre-filtered water. Then, the pre-filtered water is filtered a second time using a high-efficiency organic matter removal resin to obtain secondary filtered water. Finally, the high-efficiency organic matter removal resin is desorbed. The waste sulfuric acid contains 39% sulfuric acid. In step S1, methanol or liquid alkali is used to desorb the high-efficiency organic matter removal resin. The desorption method adopts existing conventional processes.
[0062] S2. Concentration Process:
[0063] The filtered water is subjected to three preheating processes, three negative pressure evaporations, single-effect negative pressure evaporation concentration, and high-vacuum low-temperature concentration purification in sequence; the temperature of the first preheating is 100℃, the temperature of the second preheating is 103℃, and the temperature of the third preheating is 105℃.

The liquid was then subjected to solid-liquid separation, and the separated filtrate was collected in a concentrated sulfuric acid collection tank to complete the sulfuric acid recovery process.
