Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inositol production technology, and in particular to a method for treating resin regeneration wastewater in inositol production. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the production of inositol using potassium phytate as a raw material has become increasingly popular. Compared with traditional processes, its byproduct, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, has a wider range of applications, higher added value, and better economic benefits. The production process generally includes hydrolysis, filtration, simulated moving bed chromatography separation, concentration, crude crystallization, decolorization, recrystallization, centrifugation, and drying. Although the byproduct potassium dihydrogen phosphate is valuable, its hydrolysis rate is lower than that of calcium phytate due to its higher solubility in water. During simulated moving bed chromatography separation of the potassium phytate hydrolysate solution, some incompletely hydrolyzed potassium phytate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and amino acid residues remain in the inositol solution, affecting the inositol crystallization yield and product quality. Ion exchange resins can effectively remove these impurities remaining in the inositol solution, offering high removal efficiency and low operating costs.

[0003] After use, cation and anion exchange resins need to be regenerated with acid or alkali respectively before they can be reused. The wastewater generated during the regeneration process contains high concentrations of substances such as chlorine and phosphorus, especially phosphorus, which has a significant impact on environmental water bodies and is difficult to treat biochemically. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for treating resin regeneration wastewater in inositol production to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for treating resin regeneration wastewater in inositol production, which addresses the shortcomings of the prior art. This wastewater treatment method greatly reduces the amount of wastewater discharged and enables the recycling of pollutants.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for treating resin regeneration wastewater in inositol production includes the following steps:

[0007] (1) Take the inositol solution collected after separation, add a neutralizing agent, filter after the reaction is complete, and collect the precipitate and filtrate respectively;

[0008] (2) Take the filtrate from step (1) and put it into the resin column group. Collect the effluent for later use. The resin column group includes two groups, each of which includes a cation exchange resin column and an anion exchange resin column. The filtrate enters the cation exchange resin column of one group and then enters the anion exchange resin column. The inositol solution flowing out is collected. The cation exchange resin column of the other group is regenerated with hydrochloric acid. The regenerated concentrate flowing out is collected and then rinsed with purified water. The regenerated wash solution flowing out is collected. The anion exchange resin column is regenerated with potassium hydroxide solution. The regenerated concentrate flowing out is collected and then rinsed with purified water. The regenerated wash solution flowing out is collected.

[0009] (3) Mix the regenerated concentrate after the regeneration treatment of the cation resin column and the anion resin column in step (2), control the pH, filter and then enter the nanofiltration membrane system, and collect the retentate and permeate respectively.

[0010] (4) Take the permeate collected in step (3), concentrate, cool, crystallize, centrifuge and dry to obtain potassium chloride product;

[0011] (5) Mix the regeneration wash liquid after the regeneration treatment of the cation resin column and the anion resin column in step (2), filter it and enter the reverse osmosis system. The collected retentate is combined with the retentate in step (3) for later use. The collected permeate is used as resin regeneration water.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, the neutralizing agent in step (1) is calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate, and the neutralizing agent is 2-4‰ (W / V) of the volume of the inositol solution.

[0013] As an improved technical solution, the reaction time in step (1) is 0.5-2h, and the pH of the solution after the reaction is completed is 8-10.

[0014] As an improved technical solution, in step (2), the filtrate enters the cation exchange resin column at a flow rate of 1-2 BV / h, and the collected effluent then enters the anion exchange resin column at a flow rate of 1-2 BV / h, and the effluent is an inositol solution.

[0015] As an improved technical solution, the inositol solution collected in step (2) has a conductivity of 20-100 μs / cm, a transmittance of 99-100%, and an inositol purity of ≥98%.

[0016] As an improved technical solution, in step (2), the concentrations of hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide solution are both 1-2 mol / L, the flow rates into the resin column are 1-2 BV / h, and the amounts used are 2-3 BV of the resin column volume.

[0017] As an improved technical solution, in step (2), the flow rates of purified water entering the cation exchange resin column and the anion exchange resin column are 1-3 BV / h, respectively. The pH of the regeneration wash solution flowing out of the cation exchange resin column is 4-6, and the conductivity is 60-100 μs / cm. The pH of the regeneration wash solution flowing out of the anion exchange resin column is 8-10, and the conductivity is 60-100 μs / cm.

[0018] As an improved technical solution, in step (3), the pH of the regenerated concentrate after mixing is controlled at 7-10, and the solid content is 2-4wt%; the operating pressure of the nanofiltration membrane system is 2-3MPa, and the molecular weight cutoff of the nanofiltration membrane is 300-400Da.

[0019] As an improved technical solution, in step (5), the pH of the regenerated washing solution after mixing is controlled at 5-7, and the solid content is 0.1-0.5wt%.

[0020] As an improved technical solution, in step (5), the operating pressure of the reverse osmosis system is 3-5 MPa, and the ratio of retentate to permeate is controlled at 1:4-5.

[0021] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] This invention involves adding a neutralizing agent to the separated and collected inositol solution. After the neutralization reaction, the solution is filtered. The collected filtrate is passed through a resin column assembly (one set of resin columns is used for feeding, and the other set is used for regeneration and post-treatment), and the inositol-containing effluent is collected. The cation exchange resin column in the other set is regenerated with hydrochloric acid and then rinsed with purified water, with the regenerated concentrate and regeneration wash solution collected separately. The anion exchange resin column is regenerated with potassium hydroxide solution and then rinsed with purified water, with the regenerated concentrate and regeneration wash solution collected separately. The regenerated concentrates from the cation and anion exchange resin columns are mixed, filtered, and nanofiltered, with the retentate and permeate collected separately (after concentration, cooling, and crystallization, potassium chloride is obtained). The regeneration wash solutions from the cation and anion exchange resin columns are mixed, filtered, and treated with reverse osmosis. The collected retentate is combined with the retentate collected by the nanofiltration system, and the collected permeate is used as resin regeneration water. This treatment method reduces wastewater discharge and purified water consumption, lowers production costs, recovers pollutants from wastewater, achieves waste utilization, and improves economic efficiency.
