Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to a method for treating nickel-containing wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Nickel and its metal oxides, due to their excellent physical properties, are widely used in electroplating, chemical engineering, and smelting, bringing great benefits to human life. However, the application of nickel generates nickel-containing wastewater. As a heavy metal, nickel cannot be degraded by organisms in the natural environment. After being ingested by humans or animals through the food chain, metallic nickel accumulates in the body, inhibiting the human enzyme system. Initially, this can cause dizziness and headaches; long-term excessive intake can affect the central nervous system, causing mental confusion. Improper treatment of nickel-containing wastewater not only causes environmental pollution but also affects human health. Therefore, nickel-containing wastewater must be treated to meet national standards before being discharged. Commonly used treatment methods for nickel-containing wastewater include traditional chemical methods, physical methods, and electrochemical methods. Traditional chemical methods can be further divided into chemical precipitation and coagulation. Physical methods can be divided into adsorption, ion exchange, and membrane separation. Electrochemical methods can be divided into electrodialysis and membrane separation. Among these, coagulation is widely used due to its simplicity, ease of operation, and relatively low cost compared to other treatment methods. Existing coagulation methods are mostly primary coagulation treatments, which are insufficient to meet the emission standard of ≤0.1 mg / L total nickel content. Existing coagulants have low nickel removal rates and unstable nickel removal effects, and the resulting sludge has a high water content of up to 98%, placing a significant burden on subsequent sludge treatment processes. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for treating nickel-containing wastewater to solve the above problems.
[0004] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:
[0005] A method for treating nickel-containing wastewater includes the following processes: pretreatment, primary coagulation treatment, sludge treatment, secondary coagulation treatment, discharge treatment, and accident handling; specifically, it includes the following steps:
[0006] S1: Pretreatment: including equalization tank and pH adjustment tank. Alkaline agent is added to the pH adjustment tank to adjust the pH to 8-9.
[0007] S2: Primary coagulation treatment: including primary oxidation tank, primary coagulation reaction tank, and primary inclined tube sedimentation tank; oxidant 1 is added to the primary oxidation tank for oxidation reaction, and the reaction is held for 2.0-3.0 hours; then coagulant 1 is added to the primary coagulation reaction tank for coagulation reaction, and the reaction is held for 140-150 minutes; then the mixture is discharged into the primary inclined tube sedimentation tank and held for 50-70 minutes.
[0008] Sludge treatment:
[0009] S3: Sludge treatment: The nickel-containing sludge formed after the primary inclined tube sedimentation is discharged into the sludge tank; a plate and frame filter press is set up, and the nickel sludge after pressing is transported to a designated institution for recycling. The filtrate that passes the test is discharged into the clear water tank, and the filtrate that fails the test is discharged into the secondary oxidation tank for further treatment.
[0010] S4: Secondary coagulation treatment: including a secondary oxidation tank, a secondary coagulation reaction tank, and a secondary inclined tube sedimentation tank; nickel-containing wastewater after primary coagulation treatment and sludge treatment is discharged into the secondary oxidation tank, where oxidant 2 is added for oxidation reaction and held for 1.5-2.0 hours; then coagulant 2 is added to the secondary coagulation reaction tank for coagulation reaction and held for 50-60 minutes; then coagulant 3 is added for coagulation reaction and held for 45-50 minutes; finally, it is discharged into the secondary inclined tube sedimentation tank and held for 40-60 minutes.
[0011] S5: Discharge Treatment: The clear liquid after secondary coagulation treatment is discharged to the clear water tank; if it passes the test, it flows into the plant's water system for continued use; if it fails the test, it flows into the emergency pool; the nickel-containing sludge formed after secondary inclined tube sedimentation is discharged into the sludge tank for nickel-containing sludge treatment in accordance with S3.
[0012] Furthermore, an emergency response pool is also set up. In the event that the effluent fails to meet the standards due to unforeseen circumstances or human error, the nickel-containing wastewater is discharged into the emergency response pool and then discharged into the equalization pool for further treatment.

[0015] Furthermore, the alkaline agent in S1 is either sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide.
[0016] Furthermore, the amount of oxidant 1 added in S2 is 50-60 g / m. 3 .
[0017] Furthermore, the coagulant 1 in S2 is silica dry gel, and the amount added is 35-45 g / m³. 3 The silica dry gel is prepared by the following steps:
[0018] S21: Piperidine and ammonia: Mix piperidine (1-10 wt%) and ammonia (15-20 wt%), stir for 1-3 min, and the volume ratio of piperidine to ammonia is (1-1.2):(1-1.5) to obtain solution A, which is ready for use.
[0019] S22: Dissolving tetraethyl orthosilicate: Add tetraethyl orthosilicate to solution A and stir for 10-20 minutes until the solution turns milky white. Stop stirring to obtain a silica gel solution. The mass-volume ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate to solution A is (0.8-1.2):(2-3).
[0020] S23: Aging and drying: Aging the silica gel solution at room temperature for 1-1.2 hours, then aging it in an aging chamber at 75-85°C for 3.5-4.5 hours, then air-drying it at room temperature for 13-15 hours, and then drying it in a dryer at 75-85°C for 3.5-4.5 hours to obtain silica dry gel.
[0021] Furthermore, in step S4, the oxidant 2 is hydrogen peroxide, and the amount added is 300-600 ml / m. 3 .
[0022] Furthermore, the coagulant 2 in S4 is modified polyaluminum chloride, and the amount of modified polyaluminum chloride added is 100-300 mg / m³. 3 The modified polyaluminum chloride is prepared by the following method: 8-10 parts by weight of polyaluminum chloride and 2-4 parts by weight of kapok fiber are added to 20-24 parts by weight of solvent and stirred for 2-5 minutes to obtain solution C; solution C is placed in an ultrasonic device for ultrasonic oscillation treatment for 20-30 minutes, with the ultrasonic power controlled at 1000-1500W and the ultrasonic frequency controlled at 15-20Hz to obtain solution D; solution D is placed in a centrifuge and rotated at 7000-9000r / min for 5-10 minutes to separate the modified polyaluminum chloride solution; the modified polyaluminum chloride solution is placed in a dryer and dried at 50-60℃ for 20-24 hours to obtain modified polyaluminum chloride.
[0023] Furthermore, the coagulant 3 in S4 is modified polyacrylamide, and the amount of modified polyacrylamide added is 20-40 mg / m³. 3The modified polyacrylamide is prepared by the following method: 7-9 parts by weight of polyacrylamide and 2-3 parts by weight of kapok fiber are added to 18-26 parts by weight of solvent and stirred for 2-5 minutes to obtain solution E; solution E is placed in an ultrasonic device for ultrasonic oscillation treatment for 20-30 minutes, with the ultrasonic power controlled at 1000-1500W and the ultrasonic frequency controlled at 15-20Hz to obtain solution F; solution F is placed in a centrifuge and rotated at 7000-9000r / min for 5-10 minutes to obtain modified polyacrylamide solution; modified polyacrylamide solution is placed in a dryer and dried at 50-55℃ for 18-20 hours to obtain modified polyacrylamide.
[0024] Furthermore, the solvent is prepared by mixing and stirring 1.5-2.5 parts zinc oxide, 6-8 parts sodium hydroxide, 13-14 parts urea, and 70-80 parts purified water for 1-3 minutes, and then placing it in an insulated box and keeping it at a temperature of -10°C to -15°C for 20-25 minutes.
[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention enhances the removal capacity of nickel-containing pollutants of different sizes and properties through a two-stage coagulation treatment. In the first-stage coagulation treatment, larger suspended and colloidal nickel-containing pollutants are removed, while in the second-stage coagulation treatment, smaller nickel-containing pollutants can be removed more effectively. This two-stage treatment method can more comprehensively remove various pollutants from nickel-containing wastewater. The reaction conditions of piperidine and ammonia in this invention are mild, and the prepared silica dry gel has a high specific surface area, good pore structure, and high stability. These properties give the silica dry gel high adsorption capacity and filtration effect in nickel-containing wastewater treatment, effectively removing heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from nickel-containing wastewater. At the same time, the silica dry gel is easier to transport and store than wet silica gel. This invention further improves the hydrophobicity of polyaluminum chloride and polyacrylamide by introducing kapok fiber hydrophobic functional groups into them, reducing the water content in the sludge from 98% to 60%, thus reducing the burden on subsequent processes.

[0112] A mixer is installed between the primary coagulation reaction tank and the secondary coagulation reaction tank. The mixer has a power of 1000W and a stirring speed of 70r / min.
[0113] The silica dry gels in Examples 4 and 5 above were prepared by the following steps:
[0114] S21: Piperidine and ammonia: Mix 10wt% piperidine and 20wt% ammonia, stir for 3 min, the volume ratio of piperidine to ammonia is 1.2:1.5, to obtain solution A, for later use;
[0115] S22: Dissolving tetraethyl orthosilicate: Add tetraethyl orthosilicate to solution A, stir for 20 minutes until the solution turns milky white, then stop stirring to obtain a silica gel solution; the mass-to-volume ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate to solution A is 1.2:3;

After being removed, it is left to air dry at room temperature for 15 hours, and then placed in a dryer at 85°C for 4.5 hours to obtain silica dry gel.
[0117] Determination of Nickel
[0118] The concentration of nickel in the wastewater treated in Examples 1-5 was determined according to the methods and requirements of GB / T 11982-1989 "Determination of Nickel in Water - Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry". The nickel concentration was calculated using the following formula:
[0119]
[0120] In the formula, c represents the concentration of nickel in the sample (mg / L), m represents the content of nickel in the sample (μg), and v represents the volume of the sample (ml).
[0121] The measurement results are shown in Table 1 below:
[0122] Table 1
[0123] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Nickel concentration (mg / L) 0.06 0.07 0.05 0.08 0.06
[0124] The results above show that the treatment method of the present invention can effectively remove nickel from wastewater. The nickel content in the treated wastewater meets the requirements of Table 2 of Guangdong Provincial Local Standard DB44 1957-2015 "Electroplating Water Pollutant Discharge Standard" for the Pearl River Delta region, which specifies a discharge limit of ≤0.1 mg / L. Example 3 of the method of the present invention shows the best results.
[0125] To verify the treatment results of Example 3, two comparative examples were set up.
[0126] Comparative Example 1
[0127] Compared with Example 3, Comparative Example 1 differs in that it only has one stage of coagulation treatment process. It only has the two-stage coagulation treatment process found in this unit.
[0128] Comparative Example 2
[0129] Comparative Example 2 and Example 3 differ in that an equal mass of commercially available silica gel is used instead of the silica dry gel prepared by the method of the present invention.
[0130] According to the above-mentioned method and formula for determining nickel content, the concentration of nickel in the wastewater treated according to Comparative Examples 1-2 was determined and compared with that in Example 3. The determination results are shown in Table 2 below:
[0131] Table 2
[0132] Example 3 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Nickel concentration (mg / L) 0.05 0.21 0.12
[0133] Compared to Comparative Example 1, in Example 3, larger suspended and colloidal nickel-containing pollutants were removed in the first-stage coagulation treatment, while smaller nickel-containing pollutants were removed more effectively in the second-stage coagulation treatment. Therefore, this two-stage treatment method can more comprehensively remove various pollutants from nickel-containing wastewater. Compared to Comparative Example 2, the reaction conditions of piperidine and ammonia in Example 3 are mild, and the prepared silica dry gel has a high specific surface area, good pore structure, and high stability. These properties enable the silica dry gel to have high adsorption capacity and filtration effect in the treatment of nickel-containing wastewater, effectively removing nickel ions from the wastewater.
[0134] Add a comparative example 3 to compare the sludge moisture content with implementation 3.
[0135] Comparative Example 3
[0136] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 3 in that equal masses of polyaluminum chloride and polyacrylamide are used instead of modified polyaluminum chloride and modified polyacrylamide, respectively.
[0137] Moisture content determination
[0138] The sludge moisture content was determined according to the following steps:
[0139] 1. Take nickel-containing sludge from the secondary coagulation treatment of Example 3 and Comparative Example 3, respectively, and spread it evenly in an aluminum box of known mass. Weigh the total mass of the aluminum box and the sludge using an electronic balance, and record it as m1.
[0140] 2. Then, place the aluminum box in an oven to dry. Set the oven temperature to 105℃ and the drying time to 2 hours. Remove the dried aluminum box and place it in a desiccator to cool. After cooling, weigh the total mass of the dried aluminum box and sludge using an electronic balance and record it as m2.
[0141] The sludge moisture content is calculated using the following formula:
[0142]
[0143] In the formula, x represents the sludge moisture content, m1 represents the total mass of sludge plus aluminum box before drying, and m2 represents the total mass of sludge plus aluminum box after drying. The measurement results are shown in Table 3 below:
[0144] Table 3
[0145] Example 3 Comparative Example 3 sludge moisture content % 60 98
[0146] Compared with Comparative Example 3, Example 3 improved the hydrophobicity of polyaluminum chloride and polyacrylamide by introducing kapok fiber hydrophobic functional groups into them, thereby reducing the water content of sludge from 98% to 60% and reducing the burden on subsequent processes.
[0147] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
