Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of titanium dioxide production technology, and in particular to a method for treating salt-containing wastewater in the production of titanium dioxide. Background Art

[0002] Whether titanium dioxide is produced by the sulfuric acid method, the chlorination method or the hydrochloric acid method, in terms of the pigment properties given by the optical and material science, titanium dioxide is produced by preparing titanium dioxide microcrystalline particles with a half-wavelength of visible light in the range of 200 to 350nm. Due to the inherent lattice defects of titanium dioxide, the physical and chemical properties of photocatalytic solids exist. Under the action of ultraviolet light, they produce photocatalytic reactions in downstream application fields such as coatings, plastics, decorative papers, etc., degrading the molecular bonds of these organic materials, resulting in a decrease in service life, decorative effects and color. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the weather resistance of the quality of titanium dioxide products during production, and to carry out surface coating treatment (post-treatment), that is, to coat a layer of inorganic matter or inorganic oxide on the titanium dioxide microcrystalline particles to shield ultraviolet light, thereby improving the weather resistance of titanium dioxide. In the above, the chemical reactions involved are as follows:

[0003] Na2SiO3+H2SO4→SiO2·nH2O↓+Na2SO4+H2O(1)

[0004] Al2(SO4)2+4NaOH→Al2O3·nH2O↓+2Na2SO4(2)

[0005] 2NaAlO2+H2SO4→Al2O3·nH2O↓+Na2SO4(3)

[0006] Zr(SO4)2+4NaOH→ZrO2·nH2O↓+2Na2SO4(4)

[0007] Al2(SO4)3+NaH2PO4→AlPO4·nH2O↓+Na2SO4(5)

[0008] These precipitates adhere to the surface of titanium dioxide particles to shield ultraviolet light. At the same time, a large amount of saline wastewater containing sodium sulfate is also produced during production. After post-treatment, the product is obtained by filtering, washing, drying and crushing. Almost all of the post-treatment saline wastewater from existing titanium dioxide production is incorporated into the acidic wastewater produced. Lime is used to neutralize and enrich impurities in the wastewater. Since the saline wastewater generated by post-treatment is mainly sodium sulfate, it is not precipitated by lime and is discharged into natural water bodies along with the neutralized wastewater. This not only affects the environment, but also does not utilize resources.

[0009] At the same time, in the production of titanium dioxide by sulfuric acid method, a large amount of acidic gas is generated in the acidolysis tail gas and calcination tail gas. The acidic tail gas is absorbed by spraying with alkali solution, which also produces a large amount of sodium sulfate wastewater. In addition, the preparation of rutile crystal seeds by sulfuric acid method requires a large amount of alkali solution and produces sodium sulfate wastewater. As mentioned above, the wastewater is discharged into the natural water body together with the neutralization wastewater, which not only pollutes the water body, but also the sodium and sulfur resources in it are not utilized. Summary of the invention

[0010] The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are:

[0011] At present, in the process of producing titanium dioxide, saline wastewater is mixed into the total sewage and neutralized with lime to achieve the neutralization of the wastewater to meet national emission standards and other requirements. However, for the treatment of saline wastewater generated in the production of titanium dioxide, when lime neutralization and precipitation are used, a pH value of 7 is required, and it is discharged as neutral water. Sodium sulfate salts generated by sodium ions still remain in the external drainage, resulting in a large amount of waste and resources not being utilized, resulting in low economic benefits. In addition, the discharge of saline wastewater violates the concept of sustainable development of green environmental protection.

[0012] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0013] In order to treat the saline wastewater generated in the production of titanium dioxide in a greener way, the present invention provides a method for treating the saline wastewater in the production of titanium dioxide, comprising the following steps:

[0014] S1 sends the salt-containing wastewater in the titanium dioxide production to the nanofiltration membrane for separation and treatment, and the separated dilute phase solution is sent back to the titanium dioxide production process as purified water. The separated concentrated phase solution is added with potassium chloride and the circulating mother liquor for the first stage of evaporation, concentration and crystallization to obtain potassium glauberite slurry, and the first separation is performed;

[0015] The filter cake separated in the first step S2 is sent to the dissolution production process, and then potassium chloride solution is added to dissolve potassium sulfate to obtain potassium sulfate slurry, and then the second separation is performed. The mother liquor separated in the second separation is used as the circulating mother liquor, and the circulating mother liquor is circulated back to the first stage of evaporation, concentration and crystallization, and the solid separated in the second step is obtained to obtain the potassium sulfate product;

[0016] The mother liquor separated for the first time in S3 is subjected to the second stage of evaporation, concentration and crystallization to obtain sodium chloride slurry, which is then subjected to the third separation. The mother liquor separated for the third time is circulated back to the first stage of evaporation, concentration and crystallization, and the solid separated for the third time is used to obtain the sodium chloride product.

[0017] According to some preferred embodiments, membrane separation treatment adopts a membrane separation system, which includes a pretreatment system, an osmosis and reverse osmosis system, and a reverse osmosis membrane multi-stage separation device system composed of auxiliary dosing, cleaning, backwashing, etc. The membrane separation system is composed of high, medium and low pressure reverse osmosis membranes.

[0018] According to some preferred embodiments, in the membrane separation treatment of saline wastewater, a single-stage or multi-stage reverse osmosis membrane filtration separator may be used, preferably a multi-stage reverse osmosis membrane system consisting of low pressure, medium pressure and high pressure.

[0019] According to some preferred embodiments, the salt-containing concentrated water after membrane separation is added with potassium chloride and the recycled mother liquor for separating potassium sulfate and sodium chloride can be filtered and separated before the first stage of evaporation and concentration to separate the water-insoluble matter brought by potassium chloride to meet the high water solubility of the potassium sulfate product.

[0020] According to some preferred embodiments, in step S1, a multi-stage membrane filtration separator is used for membrane separation treatment, and the concentration multiple of the treated saline wastewater is 2-6 times, preferably 3-5 times.

[0021] According to some preferred embodiments, the dilute phase conductivity in the membrane separation process is 10-30 μs / cm, preferably 15-25 μs / cm.

[0022] According to some preferred embodiments, in step S1, the first stage evaporation concentration temperature is 100-150°C, and the potassium sulfate crystallization temperature is 30-50°C.

[0023] According to some preferred embodiments, in step S1, the mother liquor of the first separation of glauberite is composed of: + 2.5~6.0%、Na + 7.5~10.0%、Cl - 13~17%、SO4 2- 1.8~3.5%.

[0024] According to some preferred embodiments, in step S2, the temperature for dissolving and decomposing glauberite is 10 to 90°C, preferably 15 to 50°C.

[0025] According to some preferred embodiments, in step S2, the second separated mother liquor is circulated back to the first stage evaporation concentration before mixing with the added potassium chloride and membrane separated salt-containing concentrated wastewater. The ion concentration composition of the mother liquor after the second separation of potassium sulfate is: K + 3.5~9.0%、Na + 7.5~10.0%;Cl - 15~22%、SO4 2- 0.1~2.5%.

[0026] According to some preferred embodiments, in step S3, the second stage evaporation concentration temperature is 100-150°C, and the sodium chloride crystallization temperature is 30-50°C.

[0027] According to some preferred embodiments, the temperature for the third separation is 30-60° C. to obtain a third separated sodium chloride product, and the mother liquor after separation is circulated back to the mixed solution before the first stage evaporation and concentration.

[0028] According to some preferred embodiments, the first stage evaporation concentration and the second stage evaporation concentration can be concentrated by using multi-stage evaporation, heat pump and mechanical compression MVR, etc., preferably MVR concentration.

[0029] The treatment principle of the present invention for the salt-containing wastewater in the production of titanium dioxide is as follows:

[0030] 4Na2SO4+6KCl→Na2SO4·3K2SO4+6NaCl(1)

[0031] Na2SO4·3K2SO4+2KCl→4K2SO4+2NaCl(2)

[0032] That is, the saline wastewater produced by titanium dioxide production is first separated by membrane, and the concentrated brine and circulating mother liquor after membrane separation are added with potassium chloride to form a mixed salt solution. After the first stage of evaporation and concentration, sodium potassium sulfate complex salt (glauberite) crystals are produced, and the separated crystals are dissolved in potassium chloride to obtain potassium sulfate products; the mother liquor after separating the glauberite is subjected to the second stage of evaporation, concentration and crystallization to produce sodium chloride products. The dilute phase water and concentrated evaporation condensed water obtained by membrane separation are returned to the titanium dioxide production process together, which can replace the original process water and realize the recycling of water resources; the potassium sulfate product produced makes high-value use of the sulfate resource ions in the saline wastewater, and at the same time, the sodium resource ions in the saline wastewater are accepted by the huge market as the basic raw material products of the sodium chloride industry.

[0033] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0034] Compared with the existing mixed sewage neutralization treatment method, the method for treating saline wastewater in the production of titanium dioxide of the present invention can effectively realize the efficient resource utilization and recycling of saline wastewater in the production of titanium dioxide. The dilute phase water in the saline wastewater is recycled by membrane separation as a process desalted water, and the separated saline concentrated phase is added with potassium chloride to replace sodium sulfate to form two products, potassium sulfate and sodium chloride, thereby increasing the resource and market value of sulfate in the saline wastewater. It is the best method to replace the existing "Mannheim" sulfuric acid plus potassium chloride to produce potassium sulfate and waste resource coupling, and is also an effective way to produce potassium sulfate, a highly water-soluble drip irrigation fertilizer required by the market. Through sodium-potassium conversion, a huge market is also opened up for sodium resource products in saline wastewater, reducing the indirect discharge of saline wastewater into natural water bodies through the neutralization of wastewater in the production of titanium dioxide, polluting the water environment, and realizing sustainable production of resource reuse and environmental protection to a greater extent; and the treated water can be used to produce titanium dioxide, reducing the large demand for raw water in the production stage, realizing the recycling and reuse of water resources, and improving the economic benefits of the production process.

[0035] The present invention adopts membrane separation to separate saline wastewater, thereby enriching sodium sulfate in the wastewater, and the separated water can be recycled; potassium sulfate products are produced by directly adding potassium chloride to the enriched sodium sulfate brine, thereby avoiding the lengthy production steps of separately concentrating and crystallizing sodium sulfate, reducing production energy consumption and operating costs, and increasing the market value of resources while recovering resources in saline wastewater; and effective recovery and high-value processing and utilization of resources in saline wastewater are achieved by processing sodium chloride, a byproduct of potassium sulfate products, thereby solving the problem that a large amount of treated water is generated by existing treatment technologies and is difficult to be recycled, and also solving the impact of a large amount of saline wastewater discharged to the outside and the like on natural water bodies.

[0036] Specifically, since the titanium dioxide acidic wastewater and saline wastewater are treated differently in the present invention, and the sodium sulfate salt in the saline wastewater is processed with high value, the solubility characteristics and market value characteristics of sulfate in sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate are utilized to exchange sodium and potassium, produce highly water-soluble potassium sulfate (drip irrigation) fertilizer products, and improve resource value; at the same time, the sodium in the sodium sulfate is converted into an industrial salt product with a huge market (returning to the initial raw material stage of sodium salt), rather than the limited market of the existing industrial by-product sodium sulfate (glauber's salt); multiple goals are achieved at one stroke, and the problem of resource utilization of saline wastewater in titanium dioxide production is fully solved.

[0037] Therefore, the method for treating saline wastewater in the production of titanium dioxide of the present invention can not only recycle and reuse almost all resources in the saline wastewater, but also increase the production value and use value of the resources during the treatment process, improve the economic effect of production, and promote green and sustainable production development.
