Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a desulfurization wastewater treatment technology, in particular to a desulfurization wastewater treatment method and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Most coal-fired power plants in China use limestone wet desulfurization technology to remove SO2 in flue gas. The desulfurization wastewater generated during operation is one of the most difficult wastewater to treat in coal-fired power plants due to its complex composition, high hardness, high suspended solids content, and multiple types of pollutants. Currently, the main method for treating desulfurization wastewater in China is chemical precipitation (three-tank system), which mainly removes heavy metals and suspended solids and other impurities in wastewater. However, the treated water has high salt content, which can cause secondary pollution if directly discharged. With the further strengthening of environmental protection requirements in China, it is urgent to develop a deep zero-emission treatment process for desulfurization wastewater.
[0003] Currently, almost all desulfurization wastewater zero-emission processes treat the effluent from the three-tank system. Since the three-tank system includes neutralization, flocculation and sedimentation, and pressure filtration, the process is complex and requires high maintenance costs for power plants. In recent years, power plants have begun to implement desulfurization wastewater zero-emission processes, which include softening, flocculation and clarification processes, resulting in a long and complex desulfurization wastewater zero-emission process. Some functions are repeated with the three-tank system, and multiple types of chemicals are added in large quantities, resulting in high costs for the entire desulfurization wastewater zero-emission process. In addition, after removing heavy metals and suspended solids from desulfurization wastewater using the three-tank system, the wastewater still contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions. The zero-emission process uses chemical softening to remove these easily scaling ions. The commonly used softening process for desulfurization wastewater at home and abroad is the caustic soda and soda ash softening process, and the lime and soda ash softening process. This process is mature, stable, and can remove all hardness in wastewater, but the cost of chemicals required is high, and the process is complex, resulting in high operating and maintenance costs for desulfurization wastewater zero-emission.
[0004] Therefore, for the desulfurization wastewater zero-emission process, it is urgent to innovate and develop technology in terms of reducing the cost of the process system and simplifying the process.
[0005] The domestic invention patent application CN 110563166A discloses a resourceful pretreatment method for desulfurization wastewater in coal-fired power plants. The process steps are as follows: desulfurization wastewater (three-tank effluent) is first sent to a pre-sedimentation tank, calcium oxide and a flocculant are added, and the effluent is discharged into a magnesium removal tank; magnesium removal agent and dispersant are added to the magnesium removal tank, and the effluent flows into a pre-sulfur removal tank; pre-sulfur removal agent is added to the pre-sulfur removal tank, and the effluent flows into a deep sulfur removal tank; deep sulfur removal agent is added to the deep sulfur removal tank, and the effluent flows into a calcium removal tank; calcium removal agent is added to the calcium removal tank for calcium removal treatment, the precipitate is sent to a desulfurization tower as a desulfurization agent, and the effluent is used as the influent for subsequent treatment in the downstream membrane method zero-emission process.
[0006] The domestic invention patent application CN105481157A discloses a flue gas waste heat evaporation desulfurization wastewater zero discharge treatment method, and the process steps are as follows: the water from the triple box is first subjected to softening, flocculation and clarification by a double alkali method pretreatment, then the clarified liquid is subjected to desalination concentration reduction by a membrane process, the obtained desalted water can be recycled, and the concentrated liquid is sent into a flue gas bypass evaporation tower for evaporation by using boiler flue gas waste heat, gaseous water vapor is condensed and recovered in a desulfurization absorption tower along with flue gas, and the crystalline substance is discharged along with fly ash.
[0007] The domestic invention patent application CN107892427A discloses a coal-fired power plant desulfurization wastewater zero discharge treatment system and method, and the process steps are as follows: after the desulfurization wastewater is subjected to deep pretreatment by two-stage lime and sodium carbonate clarifiers, the wastewater is concentrated in an electrodialysis system, the concentrated wastewater is subjected to spray drying in a spray drying tower, and the wastewater is atomized into fine droplets by a high-speed atomizer and then subjected to sufficient heat exchange with flue gas in a flue gas waste heat exchanger, so that the desulfurization wastewater is instantaneously dried by using flue gas waste heat, and most of the solid substances generated by evaporation are discharged from the discharge port at the bottom of the spray drying tower.
[0008] The domestic invention patent application CN110563166A discloses a resourceful pretreatment method for desulfurization wastewater of a coal-fired power plant, and the process steps are as follows: the desulfurization wastewater is first sent into a pre-sedimentation tank, calcium oxide and a flocculant are added, and the effluent is discharged into a magnesium removal tank; a magnesium removal agent and a dispersing agent are added into the magnesium removal tank, the effluent flows into a pre-desulfurization tank; a pre-desulfurization agent is added into the pre-desulfurization tank, the effluent flows into a deep desulfurization tank; a deep desulfurization agent is added into the deep desulfurization tank, the effluent flows into a calcium removal tank; a calcium removal agent is added into the calcium removal tank for calcium removal treatment, the precipitate is sent into a desulfurization tower as a desulfurization agent, and the effluent is used as the influent of a downstream membrane method zero discharge process for subsequent treatment. By using the method, the triple box effluent is softened by adding a magnesium removal agent and a calcium removal agent, and the softened effluent is sent to the downstream membrane method zero discharge process. The process flow is long and complex, a large number of chemicals are added, and the calcium ion concentration in the wastewater is sharply increased due to the addition of lime, which further leads to an increase in the amount of calcium removal agent used in the subsequent process. Since the market prices of the calcium removal agent and the magnesium removal agent are relatively high, the treatment cost of the process is relatively high. SUMMARY

[0039] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be further described below in conjunction with examples. It should be understood that the following examples are only for better understanding of the present application, and do not mean that the present application is limited to the following examples only.
[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. The terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0041] The present application provides a desulfurization wastewater treatment method, mainly comprising the following steps:
[0042] 1) sending the desulfurization wastewater discharged from the desulfurization tower into the dewatering machine to dewater, to obtain gypsum and dewatering machine water;
[0043] 2) sending the dewatering machine effluent into a tubular membrane treatment unit to remove suspended solids in the dewatering machine effluent, to obtain tubular membrane effluent with suspended solids removed;
[0044] 3) sending the tubular membrane effluent into a nanofiltration unit for nanofiltration separation, to obtain nanofiltration concentrated water rich in divalent ions and nanofiltration product water rich in monovalent ions;
[0045] 4) splitting the nanofiltration concentrated water into a first nanofiltration concentrated water and a second nanofiltration concentrated water;
[0046] returning the first nanofiltration concentrated water to the desulfurization tower, so that calcium ions and sulfate ions in the desulfurization tower generate calcium sulfate;
[0047] sending the second nanofiltration concentrated water into a softening unit to remove magnesium ions, heavy metals and silicon dioxide therein, and obtaining miscellaneous salts and filter press effluent after pressure filter treatment, and returning the filter press effluent to the desulfurization tower.
[0048] In some embodiments, the supersaturation degree of calcium sulfate in the nanofiltration concentrated water reaches 200%-400%.
[0049] The nanofiltration unit can specifically adopt a conventional nanofiltration device capable of separating monovalent and divalent salts in the technical field.
[0050] In the treatment method of the present application, most of the nanofiltration concentrated water is returned to the desulfurization tower as the first nanofiltration concentrated water, and only a small amount of the nanofiltration concentrated water is sent to the softening unit as the second nanofiltration concentrated water, i.e., the amount of the first nanofiltration concentrated water returned to the desulfurization tower is greater than the amount of the second nanofiltration concentrated water sent to the softening unit. In the present application, most of the nanofiltration concentrated water is returned to the desulfurization tower, so that the calcium ions and the sulfate ions in the desulfurization wastewater in the desulfurization tower can spontaneously generate calcium sulfate. In the present application, a part of the nanofiltration concentrated water is branched off as the second nanofiltration concentrated water and sent to the softening unit for treatment, which can avoid the enrichment of impurities such as magnesium ions, heavy metals and silicon in the system caused by returning all the nanofiltration concentrated water to the desulfurization tower. In addition, in the present application, only a part of the nanofiltration concentrated water, especially a small amount of the nanofiltration concentrated water, is sent to the softening unit for treatment, so that the amount of the medicament required to be added in the softening unit is greatly reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the medicament, and at the same time, the small amount of water treated by the softening system is helpful to reducing the investment of the softening system. In some embodiments, the volume flow rate of the first nanofiltration concentrated water accounts for 75%-90%, for example, 80%-90% of the total volume flow rate of the nanofiltration concentrated water, and the volume flow rate of the second nanofiltration concentrated water accounts for 10-25% of the total volume flow rate of the nanofiltration concentrated water. With the preferred return ratio of the nanofiltration concentrated water, not only can the spontaneous generation of calcium sulfate from calcium ions and sulfate ions in the desulfurization tower be promoted, but also the treatment amount of the softening unit can be greatly reduced, the device size and the investment cost of the softening unit can be reduced, and the amount of the medicament added in the softening unit can be saved. By returning the nanofiltration concentrated water to the desulfurization tower, calcium sulfate can be easily generated spontaneously from calcium ions and sulfate ions in the desulfurization tower, so that the addition of sodium carbonate or sodium sulfate in the system can be greatly reduced.
[0051] In some embodiments, in step 2), the tubular membrane treatment unit comprises a concentration tank and a tubular membrane filter, the water outlet of the dehydrator is sent to the concentration tank, and then enters the tubular membrane filter to obtain concentrated water containing suspended solids and tubular membrane water outlet without suspended solids, the concentrated water containing suspended solids is returned to the concentration tank to mix with the water outlet of the dehydrator, and the tubular membrane water outlet is sent to the nanofiltration unit. During the treatment of the desulfurization wastewater, the tubular membrane filter will intercept the suspended solids, which will gradually increase the solid content of the water in the concentration tank. When the solid content of the water in the concentration tank reaches the preset solid content, it is returned to the desulfurization tower. In some embodiments, when the solid content of the water in the concentration tank reaches 2wt%-5wt%, it is returned to the desulfurization tower.
[0052] In some embodiments, in step 4), calcium hydroxide and organic sulfur are added in the softening unit to remove magnesium ions, heavy metals, and silicon dioxide, etc. from the second stream of nanofiltration concentrated water; the suspension obtained after the treatment of the softening unit is filtered by a filter press to obtain a sludge containing impurity salt, and the water (i.e. filtrate) discharged from the filter press is returned to the desulfurization tower. Preferably, the amount of calcium hydroxide added is determined according to the pH value of the softening unit, which is 11-11.5. In some embodiments, the amount of organic sulfur added is 5-10 ppm, for example, 6 ppm, 8 ppm, etc. The preferred amount of addition can achieve a better removal effect of magnesium ions, heavy metals, and silicon dioxide, etc. Organic sulfur can be obtained by commercial purchase, for example, but not limited to, organic sulfur TMT-15 (for example, available from Guangzhou Lanquan Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., etc.), TMT-55 (for example, available from Hubei Jingdi Technology Co., Ltd., etc.), etc.
[0053] In some embodiments, the dewatering machine in step 1) preferably uses a vacuum belt dewatering machine.
[0054] In some embodiments, the treatment method of the present application further comprises the following steps: sending the nanofiltration product water obtained in step 3) into a membrane concentration unit to concentrate to obtain membrane concentration product water as reclaimed water and membrane concentration concentrated water; and sending the membrane concentration concentrated water into a solidification unit for solidification to obtain sodium chloride. The solidification can be performed by evaporation, crystallization, etc., for example, the solidification can be performed by using an MVR crystallizer or a multi-effect evaporator. The condensed water obtained from the solidification unit can be used as reclaimed water. In some embodiments, the main component of the nanofiltration product water is sodium chloride, and the mass concentration is about 10-15 g / L. After the treatment of the membrane concentration unit, the concentration of the membrane concentration concentrated water reaches, for example, more than 140 g / L. The membrane concentration unit can be a commonly used membrane concentration device in the art, for example, it can be a reverse osmosis device, specifically, a high-salt reverse osmosis device, a DTRO reverse osmosis device, an EDRO reverse osmosis device, etc.

The divalent salt separation is performed by a nanofiltration unit, the hardness in the wastewater is removed, and the nanofiltration product water rich in monovalent salt is recovered downstream to obtain sodium chloride. Part (a small amount) of the nanofiltration concentrated water is sent to a softening unit to remove magnesium ions, heavy metals and silicon dioxide. Part (a large amount) of the nanofiltration concentrated water is refluxed to the desulfurization tower again. Calcium ions and sulfate ions in the desulfurization tower spontaneously produce calcium sulfate. Through the ingenious integration of multiple treatment units and the ingenious arrangement of the treatment flow, the water resources in the desulfurization wastewater can be recycled and utilized, the treatment process is greatly simplified, the equipment investment is reduced, the addition of reagents is reduced, and the reagent investment is reduced.
[0057] The application further provides a treatment system for treating desulfurization wastewater from a desulfurization tower.

[0062] a filter press, configured to perform filter pressing on the slurry treated in the softening unit to obtain miscellaneous salt and filter press effluent; the filter press is connected to the desulfurization tower to return the filter press effluent to the desulfurization tower.
[0063] In some preferred embodiments, the treatment system further comprises a membrane concentration unit and a solidification unit. The membrane concentration unit is configured to concentrate the nanofiltration product water from the nanofiltration unit to obtain membrane concentration product water and membrane concentration concentrated water. The solidification unit is configured to solidify the membrane concentration concentrated water to obtain sodium chloride.

[0088] The suspension in the softening tank (1.9m 3 / h) is sent to a filter press to produce part of the salt (i.e. sludge) for export and the filtrate (i.e. the water from the filter press) 1.7m 3 / h is returned to the desulfurization tower.
[0089] The water produced by the nanofiltration (salt concentration 13g / L) is sent to a membrane concentration unit (in this embodiment, a DTRO reverse osmosis device) for high-concentration to 140g / L, producing 8.7m 3 / h of recycled water, which has the following quality.
[0090]
[0091] The 0.9m 3 / h of concentrated water from the membrane concentration unit is sent to an MVR evaporation crystallizer (i.e. solidification unit) to recover 90.0kg / h of sodium chloride and produce 0.6m 3 / h of high-quality condensed water, which can be returned to the power plant for recycling. The quality of the condensed water is as follows.
[0092]
[0093] The experimental results prove that the treatment method for desulfurization wastewater provided by the present application has a simple process flow, does not need the traditional triple-tank system, and can achieve the removal of harmful ions in the desulfurization wastewater and the resource utilization of salt and water in the wastewater. In addition, the entire zero-emission system mainly adds one kind of medicament, i.e. calcium hydroxide, has fewer types of added medicaments, and has a lower system operation cost.
[0094] It is easy to understand that the above embodiments are only examples for clear illustration and do not mean that the present application is limited to this. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
