Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of industrial water treatment, and particularly relates to a reverse osmosis scale inhibitor suitable for a high sulfate working condition and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a reverse osmosis scale inhibitor for calcium sulfate in a membrane concentration system of iron phosphate production wastewater. BACKGROUND

[0002] The reverse osmosis technology is a membrane separation filtration technology, and the membrane aperture thereof is extremely small. Under the action of a certain pressure driving, organic matters, colloids, heavy metal ions, bacteria and viruses and other impurities in raw water can be effectively removed, so that the purpose of water purification is achieved. The separation process is efficient, environmentally friendly and widely applicable.

[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, the demand market for lithium iron phosphate positive electrode materials is becoming larger and larger, and the demand for iron phosphate raw materials as precursors also increases. The ammonia method iron phosphate production process using ferrous sulfate as raw material to synthesize iron phosphate has become the mainstream production process of iron phosphate because of its high product purity and stable performance. However, a large amount of high-salinity wastewater is generated in the production process, such as synthesis, water washing and the like. In order to achieve the purpose of zero discharge and recycling of wastewater, multi-stage reverse osmosis membrane separation and concentration technology is widely used in the treatment of such wastewater. The mother liquor and washing water generated in the production process of iron phosphate are high-salinity inorganic wastewater containing different concentrations of metal ions such as iron, manganese, calcium and magnesium, ammonium ions, sulfate ions and phosphate ions. The content of sulfate is as high as 50 g / L (see the table below). With the concentration and separation process of wastewater in the multi-stage membrane concentration system, the content of sulfate on the concentrated water side is getting higher and higher, and the scaling tendency of calcium sulfate is also more likely to form. The surface of the reverse osmosis membrane is also easily contaminated by inorganic salt scale, which reduces the water production rate of the system and has a great impact on the entire production process.
