Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of resource recovery, and in particular relates to a method for hydrolyzing urea and recovering nitrogen from urea waste liquid. Background Art
[0002] Urea is an important nitrogen-containing compound that is widely used in agriculture, industry, medicine and other fields. Due to the large demand for urea in these fields, a large amount of waste liquid containing urea is generated during its use and treatment. In addition, urine produced by human metabolism also contains high concentrations of urea. If these urea waste liquids are directly discharged into the wastewater treatment system without proper treatment, it will not only have a negative impact on the environment, but also lead to the loss of precious nitrogen resources. Therefore, the effective removal and recovery of urea in waste liquid is particularly important.
[0003] Depending on the concentration of urea in the waste liquid, the treatment method of urea is also different. When the urea concentration is low, ion exchange, reagent reaction and other methods are usually used to remove or convert urea; when the concentration is high, the industry often uses the method of "ammonia nitrogen stripping-urea hydrolysis-re-stripping" to recover urea. This method is easy to operate and has a high nitrogen recovery capacity. However, this method needs to be carried out in multiple steps, the overall process is complicated and the operation time is long; in addition, since it needs to be operated under high temperature and high pressure conditions, it is energy-intensive and requires high durability of the equipment. Therefore, although this method is effective, it still has many limitations. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above methods, the industry has developed technologies such as reverse osmosis, multi-stage flash evaporation, and membrane distillation. Although these technologies have simplified the process and shortened the recovery process to a certain extent, the equipment requirements are more stringent, and the energy consumption problem has not been fundamentally solved.

[0080]
[0081] As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the effect of biological decomposition of urea is excellent. In urea waste liquids of different concentrations, the urea decomposition rate is above 90%, and the lowest residual concentration can reach 0.2 g / L; the ammonia nitrogen stripping efficiency is also high. In the embodiments of "urea decomposition-ammonia nitrogen stripping" being carried out separately and simultaneously, the ammonia nitrogen stripping rate exceeds 85%. In summary, this method can achieve efficient decomposition and ammonia nitrogen recovery in urea waste liquids of different concentrations.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
