Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an industrial water treatment method, and more particularly to a method for treating boiler feedwater and treating and reusing concentrated water from reverse osmosis for water conservation and emission reduction. Background Technology
[0002] Current industrial water treatment mainly employs reverse osmosis membrane technology, or even a full membrane process, namely pretreatment + ultrafiltration + reverse osmosis + electro-deionization (EDI). The main problem with this approach is its very low water utilization rate, typically only around 40%, less than half that of ion exchange methods, resulting in significant water waste. This is primarily due to the limitations of existing scale prevention methods. Current scale prevention methods are similar to those used in circulating water stabilization, involving the addition of scale inhibitors, and sometimes industrial hydrochloric acid (for circulating water, industrial sulfuric acid is commonly used). The concentration ratio of the concentrate is typically only 3-5 times, meaning about 25% of the water is wasted. Adding to this the wastewater from raw water pretreatment sludge discharge, filter backwashing, frequent acid and alkali washing during ultrafiltration, and other acid and alkaline wastewater discharge, the overall water utilization rate remains low, further contributing to water waste and higher water treatment costs.
[0003] Currently, the cost of municipal tap water is around 3 yuan per cubic meter. Adding to this the environmental protection requirements for discharge (typically, total dissolved solids in wastewater should be controlled at around 2000 mg / L), the sewage discharge fee for each cubic meter of wastewater exceeding these standards can reach as high as 2 yuan. Clearly, in many places, the existing reverse osmosis treatment method is no longer the most economical and effective. Therefore, seeking more energy-efficient, water-saving, and wastewater-reducing treatment technologies, as well as anti-scaling technologies, has become an urgent priority.
[0004] The existing scale inhibitor method for boiler feedwater film treatment has limitations in scale inhibition, which leads to the waste of precious freshwater resources and the risk of industrial wastewater discharge failing to meet standards. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the limitations of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a membrane distillation water treatment process and an industrial water saving and emission reduction method that combines double-layer ion exchange softening, forced-air decarbonization, alloy catalyst scale inhibition, and high-efficiency scale inhibitor.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A method for saving and reducing industrial water emissions includes the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: In a fixed double-layer cation exchange softening device, countercurrent regeneration is used to remove scale. Strong acid cation resin is filled in the lower part of the water chamber and weak acid cation resin is filled in the upper part of the water chamber, with no separation in between. During operation, the influent enters from the top of the softening device and the product water is discharged from the bottom of the softening device. The operating flow rate is 5-50 m / h.
[0009] Step 2: Remove carbon dioxide through a decarbonizer. After the resin becomes ineffective, use hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid regeneration solution with a mass concentration of 0.01-5% at a flow rate of 5-30 m / h to enter from the bottom of the softening device or the interface between the two resins. Pre-regenerate and stratify the entire resin layer or the weak acid cation resin layer. Discharge the waste regeneration solution from the top of the softening device. After the methyl orange acidity appears in the drainage, let it stand for 1-60 minutes.
[0010] Step 3: Use hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or NaCl regeneration solution with a mass concentration of 0.1-10% to enter from the bottom of the softening device at a flow rate of 1-10 m / h. Slowly pass through the strong acid cation resin for regeneration. The waste regeneration solution is discharged from the interface between the weak acid cation resin and the strong acid cation resin in the middle of the softening device. Stop entering the regeneration solution when the mass concentration of the discharged acid or salt reaches 0.01-1%. Then rinse with water until the calcium hardness of the discharged water no longer decreases significantly or is close to that of the influent water. Stop water intake.
[0011] Step 4: The softened water obtained in Step 3 is first descaled by an alloy catalyst, and then a scale inhibitor is added for scale prevention treatment. The alloy catalyst scale prevention will further increase the concentration ratio of the water that has been concentrated to saturation after scale inhibitor or softening treatment by 0.1 to 50 times.
[0012] Step 5: The water treated in Step 4 is first used to cool the steam on the steam side of the membrane distillation hydrophobic membrane. Then, the water is indirectly heated to a surface temperature of 45-80°C using boiler drain, flue gas, steam, or electricity. The cooled drain, flue gas, or steam hydrophobic water enters the electrostatic desalination or mixed bed deep desalination system as boiler feedwater or directly enters the circulating water system as supplementary water. Then, heat pump technology is used to heat the water on the membrane distillation water side to 50-100°C, raising the water temperature by 5-50°C.
[0013] Step 6: The concentrated water after step 5 enters the membrane distillation unit. The desalinated water produced by the membrane distillation unit enters the mixed bed or electro-desalination treatment as boiler feedwater or circulating water supplement water.
[0014] Preferably, in step one, the height of both the strong acid cation exchange resin layer and the weak acid cation exchange resin layer in the double-layer cation exchange softening device is 100-5000 mm, and the volume ratio (height ratio) of the strong acid cation exchange resin to the weak acid cation exchange resin is 1:50-50:1.
[0015] Preferably, in step one, the calcium hardness of the produced water is controlled at 0.1–1000 μmol / L at the end of the failure period of the cation double-layer ion exchange softening device, and the treated water volume accounts for 1–100% of the total water entering the membrane distillation in step six.
[0016] Preferably, the decarbonizer in step two uses a blower to decarbonize, and the carbon dioxide content after decarbonization is less than 10 mg / L.
[0017] Preferably, the scale inhibitor in step four is an organophosphorus composite scale inhibitor.
[0018] Preferably, the membrane used in step six is a hydrophobic membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0019] Preferably, the membrane flux of the membrane distillation apparatus in step six is 0.1–100 L / m³. 2 h, water side temperature 10~200℃.
[0020] Preferably, in step six, the membrane distillation apparatus has an inlet water pressure of 0.01–1 MPa, a pH value of 0–14, a concentration ratio of 2–200, a dissolved solids content in the discharged concentrate of no more than 300,000 mg / L, a steam side temperature of 5–180°C, and a pressure of 0.001–0.5 MPa.
[0021] Preferably, the water entering the membrane distillation unit in step six can also be recycled from existing reverse osmosis concentrate. First, an antiscalant is added, and then it is treated with an alloy catalyst and a double-layer ion exchange softening device. The order of the antiscaling methods can be arbitrarily combined, and the pH value of the blower decarbonization is less than 8.5.
[0022] This invention also provides an industrial water-saving and emission-reduction treatment method for application in various water treatment processes, including boiler and circulating water makeup water, seawater desalination, circulating cooling water discharge, reverse osmosis concentrated water, and desulfurization high-salt wastewater.
[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] (1) The membrane distillation and scale prevention technology of the present invention replaces the existing water treatment method mainly based on reverse osmosis. The water produced is of good quality, and the salt content (usually measured by conductivity) is less than 1% of that of reverse osmosis. The water utilization rate is high, usually increasing by about 50%. It saves about 90% of electricity and reduces wastewater discharge by about 80%.
[0025] (2) This invention replaces conventional reverse osmosis with membrane distillation technology, which can utilize low-grade industrial waste heat such as boiler continuous drainage and heat pump technology, saving electricity and recovering continuous drainage; through the combined application of ion exchange softening, alloy catalyst scale prevention and high-efficiency scale inhibitor, the scale removal and scale inhibition effect can be greatly improved, and the concentration ratio and water utilization rate can be significantly improved.
[0026] (3) This invention can significantly improve the quality of produced water, concentration ratio, and freshwater yield, reduce water production costs and energy consumption, reduce wastewater discharge, and achieve the goals of energy saving, water saving, emission reduction and water treatment cost reduction. It can even extract beneficial substances from wastewater as industrial raw materials, turning waste into treasure, and has a very broad market prospect. Detailed implementation method:

The membrane used is a hydrophobic membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene, with a membrane flux of 100 L / m³. 2The system operates as follows: water side temperature 200℃, inlet pressure 1MPa, pH 13.4, concentration ratio 200, dissolved solids in the discharged concentrate not exceeding 300,000 mg / L, steam side temperature 180℃, pressure 0.5 MPa; the freshwater produced by the membrane distillation unit enters the mixed bed or electrostatic desalination treatment as boiler feedwater or circulating water supplement water; the water entering the membrane distillation unit can also recover existing reverse osmosis concentrate, first adding scale inhibitor, then using alloy catalyst and cation double-layer ion exchange softening device, the scale inhibition method and its sequence can be arbitrarily combined, and the pH value of the blower decarbonization is less than 8.5.
[0076] Application Case 1:
[0077] The boiler feedwater source for a thermal power plant in Zhejiang Province is municipal tap water, with a water fee of 2.80 yuan / m³. 3 The water treatment process adopts a full membrane method, namely ultrafiltration + primary RO + secondary RO + EDI. In order to save water and reduce water treatment costs and water bills, it was decided to treat and reuse the concentrated water discharged from the primary RO stage.
[0078] The specific implementation method is as follows: First, the primary RO wastewater undergoes 100% softening treatment with weak acid resin, with a designed operating flow rate of 15 m / h. The calcium hardness of the product water is controlled at 5 μmol / L. After resin failure, a one-step counter-current regeneration and backwashing method is used to complete the process. The softened water then undergoes decarbonization via a blower, resulting in a carbon dioxide content below 5 mg / L. Finally, the water treated with an alloy catalyst is heated to 60°C using boiler wastewater, and then further heated to 95°C using heat pump technology before entering the membrane distillation unit. The membrane distillation process handles 20 m³ of water. 3 / h, concentration ratio 20, water recovery rate 95%, freshwater flow rate 19m 3 / h, concentrated wastewater discharge rate 1m 3 The per-hour water conductivity is 6.5 μS / cm. After cooling, the continuous wastewater and membrane distillation desalination water are treated by EDI and used as boiler makeup water. It is estimated that the entire investment cost can be recovered in three years.
[0079] Application Case 2:
[0080] A large power plant in Shandong charges 7 yuan / m³ for water. 3 The dissolved solids in the concentrated wastewater exceeded the standard, and the sewage discharge fee was 2 yuan / m³. 3 The boiler feedwater treatment system is designed using a full membrane method, with a designed output of 100m³. 3 / h×2, with a first-stage RO concentration ratio of 4. Membrane distillation and anti-scaling technology are used to recover the first-stage RO concentrate, with a designed treatment capacity of 50m³ / h. 3 / h, concentration ratio 10, freshwater production 45m³ 3 / h, concentrated wastewater discharge reduced to 5m 3The per-hour water production has a conductivity of 4.5 μS / cm. After EDI treatment, the produced water is recycled as boiler makeup water. According to calculations, the cost of the modification can be recovered within one year.
