Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultrapure water preparation, and in particular to a wastewater simultaneous hardness and silicon removal process and system. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing scarcity of resources and the increasing awareness of environmental protection among the people, not only are higher requirements placed on water quality indicators, but some processes in the previous preparation of ultrapure water that cause water waste and environmental pollution must be innovated. These have promoted the continuous development of ultrapure water preparation technology.

[0003] In the conventional preparation process, raw water is pretreated and then treated with reverse osmosis, EDI and polishing resin to prepare ultrapure water. Reverse osmosis, EDI and polishing resin have high requirements for the quality of influent water, but raw water often contains calcium, magnesium ions and silica, which will cause scaling problems in membrane equipment and pipelines. The scale is difficult to completely remove. If the raw water enters the reverse osmosis system directly without pretreatment, the long-term operation will reduce the desalination rate of the reverse osmosis membrane. The effect of pretreatment will directly affect the efficiency and life of membrane concentration. Therefore, in order to ensure the high efficiency of the ultrapure water system, hardness and silica must be effectively removed in the pretreatment part. At present, the hardness and silicon removal technologies include dosing coagulation technology, membrane treatment technology, electrochemical technology and ion exchange resin technology.

[0004] Chemical coagulation technology is currently widely used in industrial wastewater treatment. It mainly refers to adding chemical agents to wastewater to generate CaCO based on the solubility product principle. 3 Mg(OH) 2 and silicate precipitation, and then flocculation and sedimentation are used to achieve the purpose of hardness and silicon removal. As a wastewater treatment technology that has developed rapidly in recent years, membrane treatment has been widely used to remove pollutants such as inorganic colloids, soluble organic matter and heavy metals in wastewater. Such as nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF), the main characteristics of nanofiltration and ultrafiltration membranes are low retention rate for monovalent ions, high retention rate for divalent ions, and large membrane flux. However, the equipment investment and operating costs are high, and the technical requirements for operation are high. Electrochemical hardness and silicon removal technology is mainly divided into electrochemical precipitation and electrocoagulation. The basic principle of electrochemical precipitation is to release OH through the reduction reaction of water and oxygen -, creating a high pH condition around the cathode to remove hardness. Electrochemical precipitation has been widely reported, but because of its large cathode area requirements and complex surface cleaning, the application of this technology in industry is very limited. The principle of ion exchange resin technology for removing hardness and silicon is simple, mainly because the resin contains a large number of special functional groups. These functional groups have the ability to exchange with calcium, magnesium ions and silica in wastewater. According to the type of functional groups contained, it can be divided into cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin, and according to its skeleton structure, it can be divided into macroporous resin and gel resin. The effluent from ion exchange resin technology is of good quality and will not cause secondary water pollution, but its investment and operating costs are relatively high, and the operating conditions are demanding. Compared with the above treatment methods, the dosing coagulation technology has low cost, simple operation and can be applied to occasions with different requirements for deep treatment.

[0005] The hardness (Ca 2+ Mg 2+ ) is a major problem in industrial applications. Common scaling compounds include CaCO 3 、CaSO 4 and Mg(OH) 2 Acidification of wastewater to reduce alkalinity can prevent the formation of Ca 2+ Mg 2+ precipitate, but acid treatment may lead to more serious SiO 2 Scaling problem. SiO in high-salinity wastewater 2 The main form is Si a (monosilicic acid and dimerized silicic acid), Si b (oligosilicic acid) and Si c (High polysilicic acid and inactive silicon). When pH <7, SiO in wastewater 2 Mainly high polysilicic acid [(H 2 SO 3 ) n ] form, high polysilicic acid can aggregate and deposit on the film surface, and some SiO 2 It can also polymerize on the membrane surface to form an amorphous pollution layer; when the wastewater pH>7, SiO 2 Scaling problem also exists. SiO in wastewater 2 Mainly silicate ions (SiO 3 2- ) exists in the form of SiO 3 2- will react with metal cations (such as Ca 2+ Mg 2+ 、Al 3+ , Fe 3+) reacts to form metal silicate scale. Silica scale is difficult to completely remove from the reverse osmosis membrane, which eventually leads to deterioration of wastewater treatment system performance, such as reduced reverse osmosis efficiency and shortened system operating life.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to provide a reliable wastewater treatment process for application in the pretreatment of preparing ultrapure water. Summary of the invention

[0122] The water quality of the inlet and outlet water in the above embodiments and comparative examples is shown in Table 1 below:

[0123] Table 1

[0124]

[0125]

[0126] The difference between Example 1 and Example 2 is that the dosage of silicon removal and hardness removal agents is different. The dosage of Example 2 is higher than that of Example 1, and the chemical agents at each dosing port and the reaction time of each area are consistent. The reaction pH is adjusted to the pH for the optimal reaction of the hardness removal and silicon removal agents. However, from the perspective of effluent water quality, the higher the dosage of sodium carbonate, the higher the total hardness removal rate, but the higher the dosage of sodium aluminate, the lower the silicon dioxide removal rate.

[0127] The difference between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is that the chemical agents used for hardness and silicon removal are different, but the dosage of each dosing port and the reaction time of each area are consistent, and the reaction pH is adjusted to the pH for the best reaction of the hardness and silicon removal agent. From the perspective of effluent water quality, the aluminum series silicon removal agent is more effective than the magnesium series and calcium oxide, and the sodium carbonate is much more effective in removing total hardness than PAC. Sodium aluminate can reduce silicon removal from 200 mg / L to 7 mg / L, with an efficiency of up to 96.5%; sodium carbonate can reduce total hardness by Ca 2+ The concentration decreased from 1500mg / L to 24mg / L, Mg 2+ The concentration is reduced from 3000mg / L to 36mg / L, with an efficiency of more than 97%, which is much higher than the efficiency of PAC in removing total hardness. It can completely solve the problem of silicon and Ca in the process of reclaimed water reuse. 2+ Mg 2+ Scaling problem.

[0128] The chemical agents added in Example 1 and Example 2 are reasonable, the effluent is stable, and the amount of chemical agents added is less than that of other processes, especially the desiliconizing agent. According to the silica concentration of the inlet and outlet water quality, the desiliconizing effect of the present invention is obvious, which means that the present invention can obtain better treatment effects while using less agents; and the effluent water quality does not need to adjust the pH and can directly enter the back-end reverse osmosis system for further desalination to produce ultrapure water.

[0129] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and the implementation modes. They can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the present invention is not limited to specific details.
