Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of industrial wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a method and system for deep treatment of petrochemical wastewater based on hierarchical adsorption coupled with membrane process. BACKGROUND

[0002] Petrochemical wastewater refers to wastewater generated in the production process of petrochemical industry, oil refining, coal chemical industry, etc., which contains a large amount of particulate matter, hydrophobic / hydrophilic organic matter, heavy metals and salts and other pollutants. The high content of toxic pollutants and surfactants in petrochemical wastewater leads to low efficiency of conventional treatment, which is difficult to meet the discharge requirements. At present, oil removal by air flotation and coagulation sedimentation have been widely used in the preliminary treatment of petrochemical wastewater, but the above processes can only remove part of the emulsified oil, surface oil and volatile organic matter, etc. which are difficult to dissolve in water and have large size, and the removal rate of dissolved pollutants is still low. Fenton, ozone, electrochemistry or catalysis and other advanced oxidation technologies can significantly improve the biodegradability of petrochemical wastewater by oxidizing organic pollutants, but the high cost and the disposal problem of toxic sludge limit its application. Anaerobic or acidification oxidation and other biological treatments can produce strong removal effect on high-toxicity pollutants in petrochemical wastewater, but the operation conditions are strict and the overall time-consuming is long.

[0003] Adsorption, as a high-efficiency technology for removing pollutants in wastewater, has strong adaptability in removing dissolved organic matter and particulate matter at the same time. Activated carbon or silica gel and other adsorbents can effectively enrich and separate hydrophobic or hydrophilic pollutants in wastewater, and the above materials have the advantages of low cost, easy to control, etc. There are many types of dissolved organic matter in petrochemical wastewater, which leads to the existence of adsorption competition or adsorption promotion among pollutants. Limited by hydrophobicity and pore size, a single adsorbent is difficult to effectively remove various types of pollutants in petrochemical wastewater, and the removal of residual pollutants in adsorption effluent is still a technical challenge. Nanofiltration membrane method is a membrane separation method between ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, which is suitable for removing pollutants with relative molecular weight above 100. Nanofiltration membrane method can effectively separate large-particle hydrophobic organic matter and salt, and is widely used in the field of petrochemical wastewater treatment. However, nanofiltration membrane method has high requirements for the quality of water, and turbidity, suspended solids, oil droplets, silicates and other nano-sized particles in water can easily block the membrane pores or form a fouling layer on the membrane surface, which affects the overall operation. Therefore, how to provide an efficient and stable method and system for deep treatment of petrochemical wastewater is still a problem to be solved in the field. SUMMARY

The adsorption is carried out at 25℃ for 0.5h to complete the primary adsorption treatment. Then, the bituminous activated carbon after primary adsorption treatment and the primary adsorption effluent are filtered and separated to obtain the primary adsorption effluent and the adsorption saturated bituminous activated carbon.

[0098] 3) The effluent from the first-stage adsorption is transported to a device with an average pore size of 2.51 nm and a mesopore volume of 0.37 cm³. 3 In the secondary adsorption unit of silica gel with CAS model 112926-00-8, silica gel accounts for 2% of the mass of the effluent from the primary adsorption. Adsorption is carried out at 25℃ for 0.5h to complete the secondary adsorption treatment.

After the silica gel is saturated, the secondary adsorption treatment is completed at 25℃ for 0.5h, then the silica gel after secondary adsorption treatment and the secondary adsorption effluent are filtered and separated to obtain the secondary adsorption effluent and the saturated silica gel.

[0108] 4) The secondary adsorption effluent is separated by membrane separation through a polyamide nanofiltration membrane with a pore size of 0.2 nm under a pressure of 0.8 MPa, and the nanofiltration effluent and the concentrated water are obtained after membrane separation. The nanofiltration effluent is transported to the effluent tank, and the concentrated water is transported to the pretreatment tank.

[0119] Example 4

[0120] The TOC content of the petrochemical wastewater is 105 ppm at 25℃ and pH 7.

[0122] 2) The pretreated petrochemical wastewater is transported to a primary adsorption unit containing a mixture of bituminous coal activated carbon with an average pore size of 2.12 nm, a large pore (> 50 nm) pore volume of 0.09 cm 3 / g, and the bituminous coal activated carbon accounts for 0.8% of the mass of the pretreated petrochemical wastewater. The primary adsorption treatment is completed at 25℃ for 0.5 h, and then the bituminous coal activated carbon after primary adsorption treatment and the primary adsorption effluent are filtered and separated to obtain the primary adsorption effluent.

[0123] 3) The primary adsorption effluent is transported to a secondary adsorption unit containing silica gel with an average pore size of 2.51 nm, a mesopore (2-50 nm) pore volume of 0.37 cm 3 / g, and the CAS model number is 112926-00-8. The silica gel accounts for 1.2% of the mass of the primary adsorption effluent. The secondary adsorption treatment is completed at 25℃ for 0.5 h, and then the silica gel after secondary adsorption treatment and the secondary adsorption effluent are filtered and separated to obtain the secondary adsorption effluent.

[0124] 4) The secondary adsorption effluent is separated by membrane separation through a polyamide nanofiltration membrane with a pore size of 0.22 nm under a pressure of 0.8 MPa. The nanofiltration effluent and the concentrated water are obtained after membrane separation. The nanofiltration effluent is transported to the effluent tank, and the concentrated water is transported to the pretreatment tank.

[0126] Figure 6This is a graph showing the change in TOC content during the petrochemical wastewater treatment process in Example 4. It can be seen that after pretreatment, primary adsorption, secondary adsorption, and nanofiltration, the water permeability flux of the polyamide nanofiltration membrane is 3.02 L·m³. -2 ·h -1 ·bar -1 The TOC content of petrochemical wastewater was reduced from an initial 105 ppm to 10 ppm, which can remove pollutants from petrochemical wastewater and achieve deep treatment of petrochemical wastewater.

[0127] Example 5

[0128] The saturated bituminous activated carbon from Example 1 is transported to the activated carbon regeneration unit and regenerated at 600°C for 1 hour to obtain regenerated bituminous activated carbon. The regenerated bituminous activated carbon is then transported to the primary adsorption unit.

[0129] The silica gel saturated with adsorption in Example 1 was transported to the silica gel regeneration unit and regenerated at 120°C for 4 hours to obtain regenerated silica gel, which was then transported to the secondary adsorption unit.
