Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wastewater adsorption material regeneration, in particular to a comprehensive resource treatment method for waste adsorption materials. Background Art

[0002] Adsorption materials are widely used in various production and environmental protection fields. In chemical production, adsorption materials are used to separate and purify products, improving their quality. In wastewater treatment plants, adsorption removes heavy metal ions, organic pollutants, and other substances from water to ensure water quality. In waste gas purification, adsorption materials can effectively capture harmful gases and reduce atmospheric pollutant emissions. However, as the adsorption process continues, the adsorption material gradually loses its activity and becomes waste. If these waste adsorption materials are not properly handled, they will place tremendous pressure on the environment and resources.

[0003] At present, the existing waste adsorption material treatment technologies mainly include physical, chemical and biological methods, but they generally have many shortcomings. The physical method mainly relies on mechanical crushing and screening, which is difficult to effectively remove harmful components in the adsorption material and has high energy consumption; although the chemical method can achieve a certain degree of desorption and regeneration, the chemical reagents used are corrosive and toxic, which easily leads to secondary pollution problems; in addition, traditional pyrolysis regeneration technology usually uses a single temperature zone for treatment, which cannot achieve directional cracking of different pollutants and effective repair of the microporous structure of the adsorbent. For the selective leaching of heavy metals, the existing methods mostly rely on a single acid solution, which has poor selectivity and low efficiency, and cannot achieve efficient recycling of heavy metals, resulting in waste of resources.

[0004] To sum up, the existing waste adsorbent material treatment technology has defects and cannot achieve the comprehensive resource treatment of waste adsorbent materials in an efficient, environmentally friendly and economical manner. Developing a new treatment method to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology and achieve full process optimization from pretreatment to final product utilization is of great significance for solving the environmental and resource problems brought about by waste adsorbent materials.

Among them, microwave-assisted crushing and screening technology can quickly and evenly crush the waste adsorption materials to the target particle size; low-temperature plasma surface modification technology can destroy the chemical bonds of surface pollutants, improve the repairability of the pore structure, and lay the foundation for subsequent pyrolysis regeneration; oxygen-controlled gradient pyrolysis regeneration technology realizes the directional cracking of organic matter and the regeneration of the adsorbent microporous structure by precisely controlling the oxygen concentration and heating rate.

[0035] S200, the pretreated adsorption material is sent to a multi-temperature zone oxygen-controlled pyrolysis furnace for pyrolysis. The multi-temperature zone oxygen-controlled pyrolysis furnace is divided into three temperature zones and pyrolysis is carried out under gradient temperature rising conditions: the temperature of the low temperature zone is controlled at 200-400 , oxygen concentration ≤ 5%, the residence time of adsorption material in this temperature zone is 0.5-1.5h; the temperature in the medium temperature zone is 500-700 , the oxygen concentration is controlled at 8-12%. At this stage, Fe / Ce bimetallic catalyst is added to the furnace. The catalyst is a composite solution of ferric nitrate and cerium nitrate. The addition amount is 0.5%-3% of the mass of the adsorption material. The molar ratio of Fe to Ce is 2:1-4:1, and the catalyst loading is 2-5%. The temperature in the high temperature zone is 800-900 , maintain an oxygen-free environment, the calcination time is 1-3h, and the directional cracking of organic matter and regeneration of the adsorbent microporous structure are achieved by segmented regulation of oxygen concentration. At the same time, Fe / Ce bimetallic catalyst is used to promote pollutant degradation and activation efficiency; S300, the pH of the adsorbent material after pyrolysis is regulated, and the pH value is controlled at 2.5-4.0. A citric acid-sodium thiosulfate composite leaching agent is used with a ratio of 1.5:1-3:1, and combined with ultrasonic enhanced treatment, the ultrasonic treatment frequency is 28-40kHz, the power density is 0.5-1.2W / cm², and the leaching time is 30-60min to extract the heavy metals remaining in the adsorbent material.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] The specific steps for comprehensive resource recovery treatment of 100 kg of waste activated carbon that has adsorbed heavy metals (mainly copper ions and lead ions) and organic pollutants (mainly phenolic compounds) are as follows:

[0040] Pretreatment of waste adsorption materials: Place the waste activated carbon in a microwave-assisted crusher, set the microwave power to 300W, and after turning on the equipment, microwaves act evenly on the activated carbon, causing rapid heat generation inside it. Under the action of thermal stress, the activated carbon gradually breaks down, and the crushing stops after 5 minutes. Then, the broken activated carbon is transferred to a low-temperature plasma treatment device, and nitrogen is introduced to create an inert atmosphere. The treatment voltage is set to 8kV and the temperature is 50 , the treatment time is 10 min. During this process, the high-energy particles in the low-temperature plasma interact with the pollutants on the surface of the activated carbon, destroying their chemical bonds;

[0041] Oxygen controlled gradient pyrolysis regeneration: The pre-treated activated carbon is fed into a multi-temperature zone oxygen controlled pyrolysis furnace, which is first heated to a low temperature zone (200 ), and the oxygen concentration is controlled at 3%. The activated carbon stays in this area for 0.5h, during which some organic matter begins to decompose and then enters the medium temperature zone (500 ), at this time the oxygen concentration is increased to 8%, and the Fe / Ce bimetallic catalyst composed of ferric nitrate and cerium nitrate is added according to 0.5% of the mass of the adsorption material, wherein the molar ratio of Fe to Ce is 2:1 and the catalyst loading is 2%. In the medium temperature zone, the catalyst promotes the cracking of organic matter and the degradation of pollutants. Finally, the activated carbon enters the high temperature zone (800 ), maintain an oxygen-free environment and calcine for 1 hour to regenerate the microporous structure of the adsorbent;

[0042] Selective leaching and recovery: Place the activated carbon after pyrolysis into a reaction vessel, adjust the pH of the system to 2.5 by adding dilute sulfuric acid, then add citric acid-sodium thiosulfate composite leaching agent at a ratio of 1.5:1, place the reaction vessel in an ultrasonic device, set the ultrasonic frequency to 28kHz, the power density to 0.5W / cm², and continue leaching for 30 minutes. After the leaching is completed, transfer the leachate for electrochemical deposition, set the current density to 50A / m², the electrolyte temperature to 25 , so that heavy metal ions are reduced to metal elements on the electrode for recovery;

[0043] Internal circulation of pyrolysis gas energy: The pyrolysis gas generated during the pyrolysis process first passes through a bag filter to remove solid particles, and then passes through a desulfurization tower equipped with activated carbon for adsorption desulfurization. The desulfurized and dust-removed pyrolysis gas is mixed with natural gas in a volume ratio of 1:3 and sent to the combustion chamber of the pyrolysis furnace for combustion, providing part of the heat energy for the subsequent operation of the pyrolysis furnace.

[0044] Harmless waste residue resource utilization: Mix the activated carbon residue after leaching and the ash produced by pyrolysis in a mass ratio of 2:1, then add 8% of the total mass of silicate binder, stir thoroughly, pour into a mold, and press into shape under a certain pressure to make a soil conditioner.

[0045] Treatment effect: After the treatment method of this embodiment, the regenerated adsorbent was tested, and it was found that its adsorption performance was significantly restored, and the adsorbent regeneration rate reached 70%. By analyzing the leachate and recovered metals, the heavy metal recovery rate was 75%. The energy consumption reduction rate of this embodiment reached 35%. The energy consumption reduction rate was calculated by comparing the total energy consumption of traditional treatment methods (such as single pyrolysis + chemical leaching), including electrical energy (microwave, plasma, ultrasound, electrochemical deposition), natural gas consumption (pyrolysis furnace auxiliary fuel) and heat energy recycling. In this embodiment, the pyrolysis gas recirculation provides 40%-60% of self-supplied heat energy, greatly reducing the external natural gas consumption, and the comprehensive energy consumption reduction rate reached 35%. The waste gas and wastewater generated during the treatment process were tested, and the pollutant emission compliance rate was 100%, and all the leaching residues and pyrolysis ash were fully utilized, and the waste residue utilization rate reached 95%.

[0048] Pretreatment of waste adsorption materials: put the waste zeolite molecular sieve into the microwave-assisted crusher, set the microwave power to 500W, and the crushing time to 10min. The heat generated by the microwave changes the internal structure of the molecular sieve, thereby achieving crushing. After crushing, put it into the low-temperature plasma treatment equipment, introduce argon as an inert atmosphere, set the processing voltage to 12kV and the temperature to 120 , the treatment time is 15min to destroy the chemical bonds of surface pollutants;

[0049] Oxygen controlled gradient pyrolysis regeneration: the pre-treated zeolite molecular sieve is sent to a multi-temperature zone oxygen controlled pyrolysis furnace, and the low temperature zone of the pyrolysis furnace is heated to 300 The oxygen concentration is controlled at 4%. The molecular sieve stays in this area for 1 hour to initially decompose some organic matter. Then it enters the medium temperature zone and the temperature rises to 600 , the oxygen concentration was 10%, and Fe / Ce bimetallic catalyst (Fe to Ce molar ratio 3:1, catalyst loading 3%) was added according to 1.5% of the adsorption material mass to further promote the degradation and activation of pollutants. Finally, in the high temperature zone (850 ), maintain calcination in an oxygen-free environment for 2 hours to complete the regeneration of the microporous structure;

[0050] Selective leaching and recovery: Place the zeolite molecular sieve after pyrolysis in a reaction vessel, adjust the pH to 3.0 with dilute hydrochloric acid, add a citric acid-sodium thiosulfate composite leaching agent with a ratio of 2:1, place it in an ultrasonic device, set the frequency to 35kHz, the power density to 0.8W / cm², and leach for 45 minutes. Then transfer the leachate to an electrochemical deposition device, set the current density to 120A / m², the electrolyte temperature to 40 , recycling heavy metals;

[0051] Internal circulation of pyrolysis gas energy: The pyrolysis gas is first dedusted by a cyclone dust collector and then desulfurized by activated carbon adsorption. The purified pyrolysis gas is mixed with natural gas at a ratio of 1:3 and transported to the combustion chamber of the pyrolysis furnace to provide part of the heat for the pyrolysis furnace.

[0052] Harmless waste residue resource utilization: Mix the leaching residue and pyrolysis ash in a mass ratio of 3:1, add 12% of the total mass of silicate binder, stir evenly and press into shape to prepare a soil conditioner.

[0053] Treatment Results: The regenerated zeolite molecular sieve exhibited excellent adsorption performance, with an adsorbent regeneration rate of 75%.

Improper subsequent treatment can easily cause pollution, and the pollutant emission compliance rate is only 30%. The treated waste residue is not effectively utilized, and the waste residue utilization rate is only 20%.

[0081] Comparative Example 2

[0082] 100 kg of the same waste activated carbon as in Example 1 was selected and placed in a reactor containing a single acid solution (hydrochloric acid) with a concentration of 5 mol / L at 80 The activated carbon was immersed in the acid solution for 2 hours for desorption and regeneration. After the immersion, the activated carbon was separated from the acid solution by filtration without performing other steps such as pyrolysis and microwave treatment.

[0083] Treatment effect: After testing, the adsorption performance of the activated carbon after treatment has been restored, but the effect is not good. The adsorbent regeneration rate is 40%. Due to the poor selectivity of hydrochloric acid for heavy metals, although some heavy metals can be leached, there are more impurities in the leachate, and subsequent separation is difficult, resulting in a heavy metal recovery rate of only 45%. Hydrochloric acid is corrosive and will produce acidic waste gas and wastewater during use. Improper treatment can easily cause secondary pollution. After testing, the pollutant emission compliance rate is 70%. The pyrolysis gas is not utilized during the treatment process, and the waste residue is not properly treated. Compared with the treatment method of the present invention, the energy consumption reduction rate is only 10%, and the waste residue utilization rate is only 50%.

[0084] In summary, according to the treatment effect indicators of the comprehensive treatment method for recycling waste adsorption materials provided in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the specific data are shown in the following table:

[0085]

[0086] As shown in the table above, the comprehensive treatment method for treating waste adsorption materials proposed by the present invention is significantly different from the traditional single treatment method. By comparing the treatment effects of the embodiments and the comparative examples, from the perspective of adsorbent regeneration rate, the adsorbent regeneration rates of Examples 1 to 5 are between 70% and 80%. For example, in Example 1, the waste activated carbon is subjected to microwave-assisted crushing and screening, low-temperature plasma surface modification, and oxygen-controlled gradient pyrolysis regeneration, and the regeneration rate reaches 70%, while Comparative Example 1 adopts a single physical method, only mechanical crushing and screening, and the regeneration rate is only 20%; the traditional chemical method of Comparative Example 2, using a single acid solution soaking, although the steps are simple, requires long-term high temperature (80°C, 2h) and subsequent wastewater treatment, high energy consumption, and the regeneration rate is only 40%. The present invention uses microwave-assisted crushing (5min), low-temperature plasma (50°C, 10min) High-efficiency pretreatment technologies such as the above shorten the processing time, and the heat self-circulation system significantly reduces the external energy demand, resulting in lower comprehensive energy consumption. In addition, the multi-step coordinated treatment of the present invention can effectively repair the adsorbent structure and restore its adsorption performance, far exceeding the traditional single method. In terms of heavy metal recovery rate, the heavy metal recovery rate in the embodiments is between 75% and 85%. For example, in Example 2, the recovery rate of the waste zeolite molecular sieve that adsorbs multiple heavy metals is 80%. In comparison, the recovery rate of Comparative Example 1 is only 10% due to the lack of targeted recovery. Comparative Example 2 uses a single acid solution with poor selectivity and a recovery rate of only 45%. The citric acid-sodium thiosulfate composite leaching agent used in the present invention is combined with ultrasonic enhanced treatment to greatly improve the heavy metal recovery efficiency; the energy consumption reduction rate is an important indicator for measuring the quality of the treatment method. The energy consumption reduction rate of Examples 1 to 5 is 35%-45%. In Example 3, the pyrolysis gas is purified and then fed back to the pyrolysis furnace as an auxiliary fuel to achieve self-supply of heat energy, thereby reducing energy consumption. The mechanical crushing energy consumption of Comparative Example 1 is high and there is no effect of reducing energy consumption. Although Comparative Example 2 has a certain energy consumption reduction, it is only 10%, which is much lower than the method of the present invention; the pollutant emission compliance rate is higher than that of the present invention. , the examples are all 100%, and the treatment process effectively controls the emission of waste gas and wastewater. Due to simple treatment, the pollutant residues in comparative example 1 are high, and the compliance rate is only 30%; comparative example 2 uses corrosive acid liquid, which produces secondary pollution, and the compliance rate is 70%; the waste residue utilization rate also reflects the environmental protection and resource utilization advantages of the present invention. The waste residue utilization rate of the examples is 95%-98%. For example, in example 5, the leaching residue and pyrolysis ash are made into soil conditioner. The waste residue in comparative example 1 is simply piled up, and the utilization rate is only 20%; the waste residue in comparative example 2 is simply landfilled, and the utilization rate is 50%.

[0087] In summary, the comprehensive resource treatment method for waste adsorption materials of the present invention is superior to traditional single treatment methods in terms of adsorbent regeneration, heavy metal recovery, energy consumption reduction, pollutant control and waste residue utilization. This method realizes efficient resource treatment of waste adsorption materials and reduces environmental pollution.
