Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular relates to a system and method for treating concentrated brine in a coal-fired power plant. Background Art

[0002] As an important source of electricity, coal-fired power plants occupy a prominent position in the global energy structure, but they also produce a large amount of high-salinity wastewater, including desulfurization wastewater, chemical water treatment process wastewater, ash flushing wastewater, circulating cooling system drainage, etc. These wastewaters contain high concentrations of suspended solids, heavy metals, sulfates, chloride ions and other pollutants, with complex components and great difficulty in treatment. With the increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the traditional three-unit treatment technology has been difficult to meet the new emission standards, and it is urgent to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly treatment technologies. In addition, the water volume of wastewater fluctuates greatly, which poses a challenge to the stability of the treatment system. The zero discharge target of high-salinity wastewater is a major test for existing technologies. It not only requires the treatment technology to completely remove pollutants, but also takes into account the economy and sustainability of the system. At the same time, the increasing scarcity of water resources also requires power plants to make more efforts in wastewater treatment and resource recovery. The improvement of public environmental awareness requires that wastewater treatment not only meet regulatory requirements, but also take into account social and environmental acceptability. Therefore, the treatment of high-salt wastewater from coal-fired power plants faces multiple challenges, including regulatory pressure, technical challenges, economic costs, and social responsibilities. It is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors and adopt innovative technologies and management measures to achieve stable, efficient, and economical treatment of wastewater.

[0003] The treatment technology of high-salinity wastewater from coal-fired power plants is an important part of the environmental protection work in the power industry. With the increasingly stringent environmental protection regulations, traditional treatment methods can no longer meet the current environmental protection requirements. Therefore, the industry continues to explore and apply new treatment technologies. Existing high-salinity wastewater treatment technologies mainly include pretreatment technologies such as chemical coagulation and sedimentation, membrane filtration, wastewater reduction technologies such as evaporation and membrane concentration, flue gas waste heat drying technology, rotary spray drying and other crystallization solidification technologies.

[0004] The treatment technology of high-salinity wastewater from coal-fired power plants is developing in a more efficient, environmentally friendly and economical direction. The selection of appropriate treatment technology requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as wastewater quality characteristics, treatment costs, environmental protection requirements and economic feasibility. With the continuous tightening of environmental protection regulations and the improvement of public environmental awareness, future wastewater treatment technology will pay more attention to resource recovery and recycling, as well as energy conservation and emission reduction in the treatment process.

[0005] The zero-emission process route for high-salinity wastewater from traditional coal-fired power plants usually includes three main steps: pretreatment, membrane concentration and final solidification. Each step treats specific pollutants in the wastewater to achieve the goal of zero emissions.

[0006] In the pretreatment stage, the wastewater is first screened or precipitated to remove large suspended particles in the wastewater. The hardness and some heavy metals in the wastewater are then removed by double alkali chemical precipitation to protect the subsequent membrane system from damage. Next, the wastewater may pass through an adjusting tank to balance fluctuations in water quality and water volume to ensure the stable operation of subsequent treatment processes. In addition, a pH adjuster may need to be added to the adjusting tank to adjust the pH value of the wastewater to a range suitable for membrane treatment. Pretreatment may also include an oxidation step to further improve the treatability of the wastewater by adding oxidants to destroy refractory organic matter. To improve efficiency, pretreatment may also add ultrafiltration, microfiltration or ion adsorption resins.

[0007] The membrane concentration stage is the core of the entire process, usually using reverse osmosis (RO) or nanofiltration (NF) technology. Reverse osmosis membranes can effectively separate soluble salts and most organic matter in water, while nanofiltration membranes are mainly used for ions with a value of more than two, such as hardness ions, heavy metals, etc. Both technologies generally need to operate under high pressure. During the membrane concentration process, the wastewater is separated into two parts: one part is purified water that can be recycled; the other part is a concentrated liquid rich in pollutants that requires further treatment. The choice of membrane technology depends on the specific composition and treatment requirements of the wastewater. Sometimes multiple membrane technologies are used in combination to achieve more efficient pollutant removal.

[0008] The final solidification stage aims to convert the pollutants in the concentrate into a solid form for final disposal. Common solidification methods include evaporative crystallization and flue gas waste heat drying. Evaporative crystallization heats the concentrate to evaporate the water in it, leaving solid crystalline salts, which can be collected and recycled or safely disposed of according to their composition. Flue gas waste heat drying uses the heat in the flue gas of the power plant to evaporate the water in the concentrate and solidify the pollutants in fly ash or gypsum, thereby realizing the resource utilization of waste.

[0009] The advantage of the traditional zero-discharge process for wastewater from power plants lies in its efficient pollutant removal capability. However, the system investment and maintenance costs are high, and the cleaning and replacement of reagents and membranes are the main expenses. In addition, the treatment of the high-salt concentrate produced by membrane concentration is also a major challenge, and the most appropriate solidification technology needs to be selected in combination with specific environmental and economic conditions.

[0010] In general, the membrane power plant wastewater zero discharge process is a comprehensive solution that achieves efficient wastewater purification and resource utilization of pollutants through physical separation. With the continuous advancement of membrane technology and the improvement of environmental protection requirements, membrane technology is expected to play a greater role in the treatment of coal-fired power plant wastewater in the future.

[0011] Although the traditional power plant wastewater zero discharge process performs well in wastewater reuse and resource utilization, it also has some major defects and disadvantages.

[0012] The pretreatment stage is an important part of the membrane process, and its purpose is to remove suspended solids, colloidal particles and microorganisms in the wastewater to protect the membrane components from contamination and damage. However, due to the fluctuation of wastewater quality and quantity, the changes in the reagents and energy input for flocculation, sedimentation and organic matter removal are relatively lagging at this stage. Excessive reagents or untreated suspended solids and organic matter will affect the subsequent membrane concentration operation. In addition, after the wastewater is subsequently concentrated and returned to the desulfurization tower, the re-enrichment of organic matter and salt may affect the normal operation of the desulfurization tower.

[0013] In the membrane concentration stage, although membrane technology can effectively separate most pollutants in water, its separation effect on organic matter is poor. The treatment of membrane concentrated water with high salt and organic matter after concentration has always been a difficult problem.

[0014] In the final solidification stage, the secondary solid waste generated by crystallization has high storage and transportation costs, and the energy consumption required for drying is also high.

[0015] In summary, the traditional zero-discharge process for power plant wastewater has advantages in terms of treatment efficiency and resource utilization, but its economic benefits such as delayed changes in pretreatment dosing, difficulty in treating membrane concentrate, and energy consumption limit its wider application. In the future, through technological innovation and process optimization, it is expected to reduce the cost of reagent placement, improve its treatment efficiency and adaptability, and develop new membrane concentrate treatment processes, thereby promoting the application of membrane technology in the field of zero-discharge of power plant wastewater.
