Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ammonia recovery, and in particular to a device and method for recovering ammonia in heavy metal waste liquid and preparing nano metal materials. Background Art

[0002] Wastewater is generated in each production link of the electroplating process. Not only is the amount of wastewater large, but also there are many types of wastewater, including pre-plating degreasing wastewater, organic matter removal wastewater, plated parts rinsing wastewater, tank washing wastewater, waste plating liquid, and test water wastewater. Nitric acid pickling is one of the methods to remove oxides on the surface of workpieces. In addition, copper-containing nitric acid etching liquid is also produced in the electroplating process. At present, the main treatment methods for heavy metal wastewater are mainly chemical methods (neutralization precipitation and sulfide precipitation) and oxidation methods, which produce a large amount of sludge and require additional treatment. Electrocatalytic reduction is an alternative method for treating wastewater by combining electrochemical and catalytic technologies. By applying an electric current to the cathode, nitrate undergoes an electrochemical reduction reaction, converting it into harmless N2 or ammonia (NH3) with economic value.

[0003] Existing equipment for recovering ammonia and nano-metal materials is usually separate. It is necessary to first use electrolysis equipment to recover the nano-metal materials, and then transfer the remaining wastewater to the ammonia recovery equipment. The two equipments operate independently, so the recovery efficiency is low. The present invention proposes an equipment and method for simultaneously recovering ammonia and nano-metal materials, so as to realize the efficient separation and recovery of heavy metals and ammonia resources.

[0019] The method for recovering ammonia from heavy metal waste liquid and preparing nano-metal materials according to any of the above-mentioned devices comprises the following steps:

[0020] S1. Pour the heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate into the cathode chamber of the electrolysis chamber, pour the supporting electrolyte into the anode chamber of the electrolysis chamber, start electrolysis, and the current density is 15-25 mA / cm 2 , until the heavy metal hydroxide is mineralized to obtain nano-metal materials with a particle size of ≤500nm, and the nitrate is converted into ammonium ions;

[0021] The second screw is started to rotate to move the first filter up, and at the same time, the second screw drives the second gear on the water outlet pipe to rotate until the first filter moves up to the highest point, and then the water outlet pipe is opened to allow the wastewater containing ammonium ions to enter the recovery chamber, and the first central axis of the water wheel rotates to drive the spiral tube to rotate, and the screw drives the push plate to translate to push the nano-metal material on the first filter into the collection chamber through the through hole;

[0044] The method for recovering ammonia from heavy metal waste liquid and preparing nano-metal materials by the above device comprises the following steps:

[0045] S1. Pour the heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate into the cathode chamber 11 of the electrolysis chamber 1, and pour the supporting electrolyte (for example, 0.5 mol / L potassium sulfate solution) into the anode chamber 13 of the electrolysis chamber 11. First, add a catalyst to the heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate in the cathode chamber 11. The mass ratio of the heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate to the catalyst is 1L:0.3g. The catalyst is carbon nanotubes. Then, start electrolysis at a current density of 20 mA / cm 2 , until the heavy metal hydroxide is mineralized to obtain nano-metal materials with a particle size of ≤500nm, and the nitrate is converted into ammonium ions;

[0046] The second screw 21 is started to rotate to move the first filter screen 12 upward. At the same time, the second screw 21 drives the second gear 221 on the water outlet pipe 22 to rotate until the first filter screen 12 moves to the highest point. The water outlet pipe 22 is opened to allow the wastewater containing ammonium ions to enter the recovery chamber 3. The first central axis 223 of the water wheel 222 rotates to drive the screw tube 123 to rotate. The screw 122 drives the push plate 121 to translate and push the nano-metal material on the first filter screen 12 into the collection chamber 4 through the through hole 125.

[0047] After the wastewater containing ammonium ions is discharged, the second screw 21 drives the first filter screen 12 to the bottom of the cathode chamber 11, and the outlet pipe 22 is closed synchronously. At this time, the second gear 222 drives the tooth plate 23 to return to translation, and the tooth plate 23 drives the ratchet 24, the third gear 242 and the fourth gear 224 to rotate, so that the first central axis 223 drives the push plate 121 in the reverse direction to return to the side wall of the cathode chamber 11, and then the next wave of heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate ions can be introduced to continue electrolysis;

[0048] S2. When the wastewater containing ammonium ions enters the recovery chamber 3, the pH of the wastewater containing ammonium ions is adjusted to 11.5, and air is introduced into the wastewater containing ammonium ions through the air inlet pipe 34. The second central axis 241 rotates to make the movable tube 31 move up and down through the change of the oblique groove 243, and the movable tube 31 rotates synchronously when moving up and down, so that the wastewater containing ammonium ions is aerated at multiple depths. The ammonium ions in the wastewater containing ammonium ions are converted into ammonia after pH adjustment and aeration, and the ammonia is discharged and recovered from the ammonia recovery pipe 33.

[0049] Embodiment 2: This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that Figure 7 As shown, a fan 341 for introducing air into the air inlet pipe 34 is rotatably provided on the side wall of the recovery chamber 3, and the third central axis 342 of the fan 341 is connected to the first central axis 223 with a belt transmission.

[0050] The recovery and preparation method of this embodiment is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that when the first central axis 223 rotates in the forward direction, that is, when the water outlet pipe 22 drains water, water gradually enters the recovery chamber 3, and at the same time, the fan 341 rotates to introduce air into the air inlet pipe 34, automatically starting the aeration of the wastewater; when the first central axis 223 rotates in the reverse direction, that is, all the wastewater enters the recovery chamber 3, the fan 341 still rotates to guide air, and continues to aerate the wastewater, thereby enhancing the aeration efficiency.

[0051] Embodiment 3: This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that Figure 8 As shown, the collecting box 4 is provided with second filter screens 41 with gradually decreasing particle sizes from top to bottom, and the particle sizes of the second filter screens 41 are 400nm, 200nm, and 50nm from top to bottom, respectively. One side of the second filter screen 41 penetrates the outer wall of the cathode chamber 11, and three vibration blocks 42 for colliding with the second filter screen 41 are provided inside the side wall of the cathode chamber 11. The vibration blocks 42 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the collecting box 4 through springs, and the other end of the second central axis 241 is provided with three cams 244 that contact the vibration blocks 42 one by one.

[0052] The recovery and preparation method of this embodiment is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that when the nano-metal material enters the collection box 4, it will first accumulate in a partial area of ​​the top second filter screen 41, and when the first central axis 223 rotates in the opposite direction, the cam 244 will rotate to drive the vibration block 42 to slide, and after the cam 244 is separated from the vibration block 42, the vibration block 42 recovers under the action of the spring and hits the second filter screen 41, so that the accumulated nano-metal material is dispersed and passes through multiple second filter screens 41 to complete automatic screening.

[0053] Example 4: This example is different from Example 1 in that in step S1, the current density is 15 mA / cm 2 .

[0054] Example 5: This example is different from Example 1 in that in step S1, the current density is 25 mA / cm 2 .

[0055] Example 6: This example is different from Example 1 in that, in step S1, a catalyst is added to the heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate ions in the cathode chamber 11, and the mass ratio of the heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate ions to the catalyst is 1L:0.2g.

[0056] Example 7: This example is different from Example 1 in that, in step S1, a catalyst is added to the heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate in the cathode chamber 11, and the mass ratio of the heavy metal wastewater containing nitrate to the catalyst is 1L:0.4g.

[0057] Example 8: This example is different from Example 1 in that, in step S2, the pH of the wastewater containing ammonium ions is adjusted to 11.

[0058] Example 9: This example is different from Example 1 in that, in step S2, the pH of the wastewater containing ammonium ions is adjusted to 12.

[0059] Application Examples

[0060] The effects of various parameters of the method for recovering ammonia and preparing nano-metal materials using the device of the present invention on the ammonia recovery rate and heavy metal removal rate were explored.

[0061] Table 1 Ammonia recovery rate and heavy metal removal rate in Examples 1, 4 to 9

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] It can be seen from the results in Table 1 that too small or too large current density, too small catalyst addition, and too small or too large pH will reduce the ammonia recovery rate and heavy metal removal rate. In Example 7, the ammonia recovery is the same as that in Example 1 and the heavy metal removal rate is relatively higher, but the amount of catalyst added is also increased. However, the increase in the heavy metal removal rate is less than the increase in the amount of catalyst added. Therefore, from an economic point of view, the parameter effect of Example 1 is relatively better.
