Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of utilization of flue gas waste heat and treatment of industrial high-salt wastewater in the steel industry, and relates to a zero-emission treatment process for desulfurization wastewater, and specifically to a process for using low-temperature flue gas waste heat for freezing and crystallization treatment of desulfurization wastewater. Background Art

[0002] There are many sources of waste heat in the flue gas of steel plants, and the emission volume is large. Direct emission causes a lot of energy loss. For example, after sintering flue gas dust removal, desulfurization and denitrification, the flue gas volume at the chimney inlet is large, the temperature is about 95°C, and the humidity is about 15%. The flue gas contains a lot of heat energy, and direct emission causes a lot of heat energy loss.

[0003] At the same time, the "limestone-gypsum" wet flue gas desulfurization produces a large amount of wastewater, and the wastewater contains a large amount of salts. These salts are mainly chloride ions, with a chloride ion content of about 2% (wt%). High concentrations of chloride ions can cause corrosion to equipment and pipelines, and lead to wastewater discharge that does not meet standards. In the future, "zero discharge" of desulfurization wastewater will become a hot spot for industrial wastewater management.

[0004] At present, the zero-emission process of desulfurization wastewater is mainly achieved by the "pretreatment + membrane method + thermal evaporation method". The pretreatment mainly removes some impurities by adding chemical reagents for precipitation, and concentrates the wastewater through a reverse osmosis membrane. The concentrated wastewater is evaporated to obtain solid salt. For the field of high-salt wastewater, the traditional process has a limited life of the membrane, and the concentration multiple will be restricted by the composition and concentration of the wastewater. A large amount of wastewater requires a lot of heat energy through the back-end thermal evaporation process. The high-cost and high-energy consumption process limits the promotion and application of this technology.

[0005] Freeze crystallization has the advantages of high wastewater concentration ratio and low energy consumption.

[0006] The purpose of freezing crystallization in the desulfurization wastewater desalination process is to concentrate the wastewater, replacing the membrane concentration in the traditional process. Compared with the membrane concentration process, the main advantages of freezing crystallization of high-salt wastewater are: first, the concentration multiple of freezing crystallization is higher, which is more than twice the membrane concentration multiple; second, freezing crystallization replaces membrane concentration for wastewater concentration, which solves the problem of high membrane loss and high operating costs caused by high-concentration wastewater.

[0007] Freezing crystallization consumes less energy than evaporation crystallization.

[0008] Ice is a single mineral rock, so water will automatically remove impurities during the crystallization process. The latent heat of water is 334.7 kJ / kg, which is only 1 / 7 of its latent heat of vaporization. The energy consumption of freezing crystallization desalination is lower than that of evaporation crystallization desalination. The corrosive components in the wastewater at low temperatures have lower requirements for equipment materials, and freezing crystallization can remove inorganic salts, microorganisms, organic matter, etc. at the same time.

[0009] Based on the market demand for industrial waste heat utilization and zero discharge of desulfurization wastewater, the present invention application considers adopting the process of "freezing crystallization + evaporation crystallization" to achieve the effect of zero discharge of desulfurization wastewater.

[0010] The prior art and existing defects related to the present invention are analyzed as follows.

[0011] Patent document CN 114656086 A discloses a method and system for fully utilizing desulfurization wastewater based on waste heat method and freezing method for salt separation. The document mainly realizes salt separation based on the difference in solubility of sodium sulfate and sodium chloride with temperature. The desulfurization wastewater is cooled from 50°C to 10°C, and the solubility of sodium sulfate decreases significantly with decreasing temperature, while the solubility of sodium chloride does not change much with decreasing temperature. The sodium sulfate decahydrate crystals are first filtered and separated, and then the sodium chloride is separated by evaporation and crystallization. The disadvantage of this process is that it is highly selective for the type of salt, and the method cannot be generally applied to all salts. Only salts whose solubility decreases significantly with decreasing temperature can be separated by lowering the temperature and crystallizing the salt. However, many salts whose solubility does not change significantly with decreasing temperature cannot be separated by cooling crystallization. For example, sodium chloride can only be separated by evaporation and crystallization.

[0012] Patent document CN 216445186 U discloses an integrated system of heat pump heating and wastewater evaporation and crystallization driven by flue gas waste heat. The document uses the waste heat of the flue gas at the boiler outlet as the driving heat source, and evaporates and crystallizes high-salt wastewater such as desulfurization wastewater through a waste heat heat pump to desalinate. The disadvantage of this process is that the energy consumption required for direct evaporation and crystallization of desulfurization wastewater is high. Summary of the invention

[0025] (1) The present invention aims at utilizing the waste heat of industrial flue gas. It utilizes the low-temperature waste heat at the inlet of the sintering flue gas chimney, uses the waste heat flue gas as the driving heat source through a heat pump, and uses the "freezing crystallization + evaporation crystallization" process for cooling and heating desulfurization wastewater, thereby realizing the efficient utilization of the waste heat of low-temperature industrial flue gas.

[0026] (2) The present invention makes efficient use of system energy. The freezing crystallization process and thermal evaporation process adopted are fully and efficiently distributed for energy. The low-temperature ice crystals and low-temperature concentrated brine after freezing crystallization are used to pre-cool the desulfurization wastewater, which greatly reduces the external energy consumption of the system.

[0027] (3) The present invention reduces the operating energy consumption under the premise of achieving the goal of zero discharge of desulfurized wastewater. The combined process of "freezing crystallization + thermal evaporation crystallization" of desulfurized wastewater is adopted. The freezing crystallization controls the temperature below 0 degrees. The water crystallizes while the salt does not crystallize, and the brine is separated. The final product is industrial circulating water, condensed water and solid salt. The freezing crystallization desalination process adopted has a desalination rate of 70% for the ice melt water obtained. The freezing crystallization can simultaneously remove pollutants such as suspended matter, organic matter, and microorganisms in the wastewater, and the water can be directly used for industrial circulating water; the concentrated brine separated by freezing crystallization is 1 / 3 of the original wastewater volume, which is higher than the traditional membrane osmosis concentration multiple. The reduced amount of concentrated brine reduces the energy consumption of subsequent thermal evaporation. At the same time, the concentrated brine is evaporated and crystallized with the heat source provided by the heat pump. Compared with the traditional "reverse osmosis membrane + thermal evaporation" "zero discharge" process, the operating cost of this process is greatly reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After heat exchange in the flue gas heat exchanger 1, the flue gas temperature returning to the chimney is about 85℃. The medium of the flue gas heat exchanger 1 is circulating water, and the temperature of the circulating water increases.

[0039] Furthermore, the circulating water after heat exchange is used in two parts, one part of the circulating water is the driving heat source of the ammonia-water absorption heat pump 3 , and the other part of the circulating water is the driving heat source of the electric heat pump 15 .

[0040] Furthermore, the cold energy prepared by the ammonia-water absorption heat pump 3 can be transmitted through the refrigerant ethylene glycol aqueous solution pipe 4.
