[0012] S4: Membrane filtration system treatment: The water filtered by S3 is kept in the submerged membrane filtration system for 30-60 minutes; the submerged membrane filtration system uses a modified submerged ultrafiltration membrane with a curtain structure.
[0013] S5: The clarified liquid after treatment by the membrane filtration system is sent to the biological contact oxidation tank for further treatment. The clarified liquid is used to recover the KOH solution.
[0014] The method for preparing the modified submerged ultrafiltration membrane is as follows:
[0015] H1: Immerse the submerged ultrafiltration membrane in methyl 3-mercaptopropionate at 25°C for 60-100 min, and then initiate the grafting reaction with plasma glow discharge under an argon atmosphere at a flow rate of 20-30 ml / min. The external electrode glow discharge power is 100-200 W, the treatment time is 5-15 min, and the membrane is removed and dried to obtain the mercapto submerged ultrafiltration membrane.
[0016] H2: By weight, 100-200 parts of the mercapto-immersed ultrafiltration membrane prepared according to the above steps are placed into 1000-1500 parts of DMF, and then 10-16 parts of diallyl bisphenol, 3-6 parts of allyl zinc bromide, 0.03-0.6 parts of (6-mercaptohexyl)ferrocene, and 3-6 parts of triethanolamine are added. The mixture is stirred evenly and soaked at 65-75℃ for 2-4 hours. The ultrafiltration membrane is then removed and dried in an ultra-clean room, and then placed in a constant temperature drying oven for 10-20 hours. The surface grafting reaction is then carried out using plasma glow discharge method, with the same power as before and a processing time of 20-50 seconds, to obtain the modified immersed ultrafiltration membrane.
[0017] The fluoride-containing wastewater mentioned is wastewater from the preparation of hexafluoropropylene;
[0018] The precipitant is 10-20% quicklime slurry.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the defluorinating agent is one or more of magnesium hydroxide, sodium persulfate, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, acrylamide, diethylenetriamine, and ethylenediamine.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pH adjuster is a hydrochloric acid solution with a mass concentration of 10-20%.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flocculant is one or more of polyaluminum chloride, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum oxide, and aluminum chloride.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the operating conditions of the biological contact oxidation tank are as follows: the residence time of the biological contact oxidation tank is 6-12h and the temperature is 15-35℃.
[0023] Mechanism of this scheme: The mercapto-immersed ultrafiltration membrane undergoes a mercapto-olefin addition reaction with diallyl bisphenol or allyl zinc bromide; (6-mercaptohexyl)ferrocene undergoes a mercapto-olefin addition reaction with diallyl bisphenol or allyl zinc bromide, and the resulting immersed ultrafiltration membrane is grafted with functional groups such as zinc bromide, ferrocene, and bisphenol, which can remove trace amounts of fluoride ions from the wastewater used to prepare hexafluoropropylene through membrane adsorption and filtration.
[0024] The present invention provides a method for treating fluoride-containing wastewater, which has the following significant advantages compared with the prior art:
[0025] 1. This invention removes fluoride ions from wastewater used in the preparation of hexafluoropropylene through precipitation, flocculation sedimentation, and biological contact oxidation; the wastewater treated by this invention can be directly discharged.
[0026] 2. This invention can recover the KOH solution from the wastewater used in the preparation of hexafluoropropylene as a by-product, thereby increasing its economic value;
[0027] 3. This invention requires little investment, few equipment, has a simple process, low processing cost, and produces a relatively stable fluoride ion concentration after treatment.
[0028] 4. The grafted functional groups of zinc bromide, ferrocene, and bisphenol groups in this invention have the ability to specifically recognize fluoride ions. They can bind with fluoride ions, thereby capturing fluoride ions from wastewater. The ultrafiltration membrane, as a physical barrier, can prevent unadsorbed fluoride ions and other impurities from passing through, thereby achieving selective removal of trace fluoride ions from wastewater. The ferrocene and bisphenol groups can form stable complexes with fluoride ions, thereby effectively removing fluoride ions from wastewater. Through this submerged ultrafiltration membrane grafted with zinc bromide, ferrocene, and bisphenol groups, highly efficient removal of trace fluoride ions from wastewater used in the preparation of hexafluoropropylene can be achieved. The advantages of this method include high selectivity, low energy consumption, and low cost, and it has important application value for treating similar wastewater problems in actual production.
