Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a system and method for the resource-based treatment of wastewater from waste incineration. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the main methods of municipal solid waste treatment and disposal are gradually shifting from landfilling, which is heavily polluting and difficult to locate, to incineration. Incineration is currently the most widely used method for municipal solid waste treatment. Fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration and leachate concentrate are the main secondary pollutants generated during the incineration process.
[0003] Among them, the disposal situation of incineration fly ash entering municipal solid waste landfills is becoming increasingly severe. Cement kiln co-processing has become a more widely used resource utilization method. The fly ash contains a high amount of soluble salts, mainly chloride salts, which need to be washed and dechlorinated with water to meet the conditions for cement kiln co-processing, thus generating a large amount of high-concentration saline wastewater.
[0004] The amount of concentrate produced during the treatment of landfill leachate is generally 30% to 40%, with very high salt content. It is usually used for lime pulping, which has a significant corrosive effect on the flue gas desulfurization equipment after pulping. Furthermore, the salt from the pulping and desulfurization process will re-enter the fly ash.
[0005] Membrane concentrate and fly ash washing wastewater contain large amounts of inorganic salts. In recent years, evaporation technology has attracted much attention as a water treatment process for treating high-salinity wastewater and has been widely used in the field of zero-discharge wastewater resource utilization. However, the evaporation equipment currently used in the industry all have their own shortcomings. For example, the most widely used MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) process has poor operational stability. Even with the addition of hardness removal facilities at the front end, the operation is still not stable enough, and the cleaning frequency is high. On the other hand, the submerged combustion process has better operational stability than MVR, but the investment and operating costs are higher.
[0006] The patents CN112678903A (equipment and method for treating saline wastewater), CN217479253U (a humidification and dehumidification treatment device for high-salinity wastewater), and CN210885723U (a near-zero discharge treatment system for leachate from incineration plants) describe in detail the equipment configuration of the humidification and dehumidification system, the technical methods for treating high-salinity wastewater, and the technical methods for near-zero discharge of leachate from waste incineration plants. However, when applied to wastewater treatment in waste incineration plants, the technical solutions in these three patents do not involve the recovery of ammonia resources in the leachate, requiring the retention of ammonia resources in conjunction with the leachate treatment module in this application. The patent CN117486421A (a process and system for co-treatment of fly ash washing wastewater from waste incineration plant leachate stations) proposes a process and system for co-treatment of leachate and fly ash washing wastewater from waste incineration plants, but the A / O system set up in the leachate pretreatment unit degrades ammonia resources, resulting in a waste of ammonia resources.
[0007] The patent "A Method for Resource Recycling of High-Salt and High-Ammonia-Nitrogen Wastewater" (CN110697959A) proposes a method for recovering ammonia resources from high-salt and high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater. The method involves concentrating ammonium salts in the wastewater through evaporation and absorbing the ammonia volatilized during the evaporation process with magnesium salts and phosphates to obtain a composite magnesium ammonium salt. However, when applied to the treatment of wastewater from waste incineration, the ammonia resources cannot be recovered in the form of ammonia water for denitrification of incineration flue gas.
[0008] The literature "Feasibility Study on Flue Gas Denitrification Using Ammonia Tail Gas from Leachate" analyzes the feasibility of using stripping / absorption processes to recover ammonia from leachate in waste incineration plants for flue gas denitrification. The stripping tower and absorption tower proposed in the literature do not have the inorganic salt concentration performance of humidification and dehumidification technology.
[0009] In addition, the current treatment methods generally treat the two types of wastewater separately, which results in high investment and operating costs and waste of resources. How to achieve stable treatment of waste incineration wastewater while realizing waste resource utilization under the premise of economic feasibility is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The fly ash washing wastewater generated by the fly ash washing module and the membrane concentrate generated by the leachate treatment module enter the pH adjustment unit.
[0015] According to the waste incineration wastewater resource utilization system of the present invention, the fly ash washing module includes a washing unit and a solid-liquid separation unit;
[0016] The outlet of the water washing unit is connected to the inlet of the solid-liquid separation unit; the outlet of the solid-liquid separation unit is connected to the inlet of the pH adjustment unit.
[0017] According to the waste incineration wastewater resource utilization system of the present invention, the fly ash washing module further includes a drying unit; the outlet of the solid-liquid separation unit is connected to the inlet of the drying unit.
[0018] According to the waste incineration wastewater resource utilization treatment system of the present invention, the leachate treatment module includes an anaerobic unit, a suspended solids separation-ammonia retention unit, a sludge dewatering unit, an ultrafiltration unit, and a first reverse osmosis unit;
[0019] Among them, the outlet of the anaerobic unit is connected to the inlet of the suspended solids separation-ammonia retention unit; one outlet of the suspended solids separation-ammonia retention unit is connected to the inlet of the sludge dewatering unit, and the other outlet is connected to the inlet of the ultrafiltration unit; one outlet of the sludge dewatering unit is connected to the inlet of the ultrafiltration unit, and the other inlet is connected to the outlet of the ultrafiltration unit; one inlet of the first reverse osmosis unit is connected to the outlet of the ultrafiltration unit, and the other outlet is connected to the inlet of the pH adjustment unit.
[0020] This invention also provides a waste incineration wastewater treatment method using the above-mentioned waste incineration wastewater resource utilization system, comprising:
[0021] S1, the fly ash from waste incineration is washed by the fly ash washing module, and the resulting fly ash washing wastewater enters the humidification and dehumidification module;
[0022] S2, the landfill leachate enters the leachate treatment module, and successively undergoes anaerobic treatment to remove organic matter, suspended solids separation-ammonia retention treatment to separate suspended solids, resulting in high-ammonia filtrate, then undergoes ultrafiltration treatment to obtain ultrafiltration permeate, and reverse osmosis treatment to obtain membrane concentrate; the membrane concentrate is then transported to the pH adjustment unit;
[0023] S3, fly ash washing wastewater and membrane concentrate enter the pH adjustment unit to adjust the pH and obtain high-salt, high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater; then enter the humidification unit; the high-salt, high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater is heated by hot water output from the heat pump unit in the humidification unit and undergoes mass and heat transfer with the circulating air of the dehumidification unit.
[0024] Ammonia in high-salt, high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater is stripped off and enters the circulating air with the water vapor, resulting in ammonia-containing, high-temperature, and high-humidity circulating air. This air then enters the dehumidification unit, where the water vapor in the circulating air is condensed, and the ammonia is absorbed into the condensate, resulting in ammonia-containing condensate. The heat in the condensate is then transferred to the heat pump unit. The dehumidified circulating air from the dehumidification unit is returned to the humidification unit.
[0025] Ammonia-containing condensate enters the ammonia concentration unit to obtain concentrated ammonia water and ammonia-removed condensate water; the ammonia-removed condensate water is then transported to the second reverse osmosis unit.
[0026] High-salt, high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater is concentrated into ultra-concentrated water after being humidified by the humidification unit. It then enters the organic matter removal unit. After the organic matter is removed, the ultra-concentrated water enters the crystallization unit, where it solidifies and crystallizes, producing crystallized condensate and inorganic salt products. The crystallized condensate then enters the second reverse osmosis unit.
[0027] The ammonia concentration unit produces deammoniation condensate, and the crystallization unit produces crystallization condensate. These are then treated by the second reverse osmosis unit to produce reverse osmosis concentrate and purified water. The reverse osmosis concentrate is then returned to the humidification unit.
[0028] According to the waste incineration wastewater treatment method of the present invention, step S1 includes: washing the waste incineration fly ash in a water washing unit; the fly ash slurry after water washing enters a solid-liquid separation unit for solid-liquid separation treatment; and the fly ash water washing wastewater obtained from solid-liquid separation enters a pH adjustment unit.
[0029] According to the waste incineration wastewater treatment method of the present invention, step S2 includes: the landfill leachate first enters the anaerobic unit to remove most of the organic matter in the landfill leachate, obtaining leachate after organic matter removal; the leachate after organic matter removal enters the suspended solids separation-ammonia retention unit to separate suspended solids and high-ammonia filtrate after ammonia retention treatment; the separated suspended solids are transported to the sludge dewatering unit; the suspended solids and sludge generated by the ultrafiltration unit enter the sludge dewatering unit to obtain dewatered sludge with qualified moisture content and dewatered clear liquid; the generated dewatered clear liquid is returned to the ultrafiltration unit; the high-ammonia filtrate and the dewatered clear liquid generated by the sludge dewatering unit enter the ultrafiltration unit to generate sludge and ultrafiltration permeate; the generated sludge is transported to the sludge dewatering unit, and the ultrafiltration permeate is transported to the first reverse osmosis unit; the ultrafiltration permeate is treated in the first reverse osmosis unit to generate clear water and membrane concentrate; the generated membrane concentrate is transported to the pH adjustment unit.
[0030] This invention, by setting up a humidification and dehumidification module, can utilize the same set of humidification, dehumidification, and evaporation equipment to achieve the concentration of inorganic salts and the stripping and recovery of ammonia in high-salt and high-ammonia nitrogen wastewater during the same evaporation and condensation process. The leachate treatment module can retain ammonia resources, and the fly ash washing module can retain inorganic salt resources in the waste. The combination of these three modules fully realizes the resource-based treatment of wastewater from the waste incineration process, which can significantly simplify the process and reduce investment and operating costs.
[0031] The humidification unit in this invention has the same ammonia stripping / absorption performance as the dehumidification unit.
[0032] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows:
[0033] (1) Optimize the treatment process: This technical solution treats the two different types of wastewater generated during the waste incineration process through the same process technology, replacing the nitrification and denitrification biochemical process with a physical process, which simplifies the treatment process and reduces the treatment cost.
[0034] (2) Resource recycling: The inorganic salts separated during the humidification and dehumidification process can be sold to increase revenue after purification and refinement. The separated ammonia water can be used in the process of denitrification of flue gas from waste incineration. The generated clean water can be recycled as supplementary water for the process, truly realizing the resource-based treatment of wastewater.
[0035] (3) Improve treatment efficiency: The high-temperature clean water generated during the humidification and dehumidification process is used for fly ash washing water, which can significantly improve the washing efficiency of inorganic salts in the fly ash washing process, improve the fly ash washing efficiency, and reduce treatment costs. In addition, the suspended solids separation and ammonia preservation unit combined with the humidification and dehumidification unit recovers ammonia nitrogen in the form of ammonia water, avoiding the adverse effects of the complex process, strict reaction conditions, and high salt content of conventional ammonia treatment nitrification and denitrification technology. The overall treatment efficiency is greatly improved.
[0036] (4) Energy saving and consumption reduction: Equipped with a heat pump unit, it can recover the waste heat in the waste incineration process, recover the low-grade heat energy in the waste incineration process and convert it into high-grade heat energy for the humidification and dehumidification process, which can effectively save heat consumption.
[0037] (5) Improve operational stability: In the evaporation and concentration process of high-salt and high-ammonia nitrogen wastewater, the key evaporation and concentration equipment, the humidification and dehumidification tower, and its internal components that come into contact with the wastewater are all made of non-metallic materials, which are not easy to scale, are not afraid of high salt corrosion, and operate stably.
[0038] (6) Wide range of applications: The treatment method of the present invention can be applied not only to the wastewater generated in the waste incineration process, but also to the treatment of high-salt and high-ammonia nitrogen wastewater generated in other production processes, and has a wide range of application prospects.

[0113] Specifically, fly ash from waste incineration is obtained from the incineration of municipal solid waste.
[0114] Specifically, the solid-liquid ratio can be determined based on the content of various inorganic salts in fly ash. For example, the solid-liquid ratio is (1:3)-(1:6) in g / mL.
[0115] S2, the landfill leachate enters the leachate treatment module 200, and is successively subjected to anaerobic treatment to remove organic matter, suspended solids separation-ammonia retention treatment to separate suspended solids, resulting in high ammonia filtrate, then ultrafiltration treatment to obtain ultrafiltration permeate, and reverse osmosis treatment to obtain membrane concentrate; the membrane concentrate is then transported to the pH adjustment unit 301 of the humidification and dehumidification module 300.
[0116] Specifically, the landfill leachate first enters the anaerobic unit 201 to remove most of the organic matter, resulting in leachate with organic matter removed. The leachate then enters the suspended solids separation-ammonia retention unit 202, where suspended solids and high-ammonia filtrate after ammonia retention treatment are separated. The separated suspended solids are transported to the sludge dewatering unit 203. The suspended solids and sludge produced by the ultrafiltration unit 204 enter the sludge dewatering unit 203 to obtain dewatered sludge with acceptable moisture content and dewatered supernatant. The dewatered sludge is then incinerated. The resulting supernatant... The purified water is returned to the ultrafiltration unit 204; the dewatered purified water produced by the high ammonia filtrate and sludge dewatering unit 203 enters the ultrafiltration unit 204 to produce sludge and ultrafiltration permeate; the produced sludge is transported to the sludge dewatering unit 203, and the ultrafiltration permeate is transported to the first reverse osmosis unit 205; the ultrafiltration permeate enters the first reverse osmosis unit 205 for treatment to produce purified water and membrane concentrate; the produced membrane concentrate is transported to the pH adjustment unit 301 of the humidification and dehumidification module 300; the produced purified water is used for fly ash washing makeup water and recycled water in the fly ash washing module 100.

[0120] Ammonia in high-salt, high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater is stripped off and enters the circulating air with the water vapor, resulting in ammonia-containing, high-temperature, high-humidity circulating air. This air then enters the dehumidification unit 303, where the water vapor in the circulating air is condensed, and the ammonia is absorbed into the condensate, resulting in ammonia-containing condensate (dilute ammonia water). The heat from the condensate is then transferred to the heat pump unit 304. The dehumidified circulating air from the dehumidification unit 303 returns to the humidification unit 302.
[0121] Ammonia-containing condensate (dilute ammonia water) enters the ammonia concentration unit 305 to obtain concentrated ammonia water and ammonia-removed condensate. The ammonia-removed condensate is then transported to the second reverse osmosis unit 308. High-salt, high-ammonia-nitrogen wastewater undergoes a humidification process in the humidification unit 302 and is concentrated into ultra-concentrated water, which then enters the organic matter removal unit 306. The ultra-concentrated water after organic matter removal enters the crystallization unit 307 for solidification and crystallization, producing crystallized condensate and inorganic salt products. The crystallized condensate enters the second reverse osmosis unit 308. The ammonia-removed condensate from the ammonia concentration unit 305 and the crystallized condensate from the crystallization unit 307 are treated in the second reverse osmosis unit 308 to produce reverse osmosis concentrate and purified water.

The fly ash is washed with water at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:4, and then subjected to solid-liquid separation and drying to produce 50t / d of washed fly ash with a water content of 30%. 100t / d of fly ash washing wastewater with a salt content of 9% enters the humidification and dehumidification treatment process.

The leachate is treated using an anaerobic + suspended solids separation-ammonia retention + ultrafiltration + reverse osmosis process. The suspended solids and sludge dewatered are disposed of by incineration. 200t / d of the clean water after reverse osmosis treatment is used for reclaimed water and supplemental water for fly ash washing modules. 100t / d of the membrane concentrate produced by the reverse osmosis process enters the humidification and dehumidification process.
[0126] Step 3: 100 t / d of fly ash washing wastewater is mixed with 100 t / d of membrane concentrate. The mixture can be designed for humidification and dehumidification at a capacity of 10 t / h. After adjusting the pH of the mixture to 11, it is heated to 90℃ via a heat pump before entering the humidification process. The humidification process temperature is 85℃, and the mixture is then used with 50,000 m³ / h membrane concentrate. 3 The circulating air at a rate of / h is used for mass and heat transfer. The total amount of inorganic salts (dry basis) in the two wastewaters is 15t / d. After a humidification process, it is concentrated to 37.5t / d of ultra-concentrated water with a salt content of 40%. The ultra-concentrated water enters the organic matter removal and crystallization process. The crystallization condensate enters the reverse osmosis process, producing 16.67t / d of inorganic salt product with a water content of 10%.
[0127] Step 4: The water vapor and ammonia nitrogen carried out by the circulating air from the humidification process enter the dehumidification process. The dehumidification process temperature is 55℃, resulting in 162.5t / d of dilute ammonia water with a concentration of about 0.77%. The dehumidified circulating air returns to the humidification process, the dilute ammonia water enters the ammonia concentration process, the ammonia condensate enters the reverse osmosis process, and the dilute ammonia water is concentrated to a concentration of 10%, which is used for the flue gas denitrification process.
[0128] Step 5: The crystallization condensate and the ammonia removal condensate are mixed and enter the reverse osmosis process. The purified water after reverse osmosis is used for fly ash washing and replenishment. The excess purified water is treated as recycled water. The concentrate produced by reverse osmosis is returned to the humidification process.
