Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of combined caustic soda production technology, and in particular relates to a device and method for cleaning and recovering initial rainwater in combined caustic soda production. Background Art

[0002] Due to the characteristics of the soda ash production process, there are leakage of mother liquor and volatilization of ammonia in the production area during the production process. When it rains, the ammonia nitrogen value in the initial rainwater exceeds the standard and cannot be discharged, so it needs to be recycled into the production system. At present, the initial rainwater is only recycled through the collection pool. When the ammonia nitrogen value of the rainwater meets the standard, the rainwater is discharged. The rainwater in the recycling pool will gradually return to the production system in the future as supplementary water and enter the production system. However, since the rainwater contains debris such as mud and sand, it cannot be cleanly recycled. Therefore, the initial rainwater generally enters the miscellaneous water barrel. When there is a need to supplement production water, it directly enters the MⅠ barrel, which only plays the role of recycling and supplementing production water. In addition, since the rainwater contains impurities, it will also affect the cleanliness of the mother liquor, resulting in impurities such as black spots in the product, affecting product quality.

An underground rainwater pipe network 14 is provided under the combined alkali production boundary area for rainwater discharge. The open ditch 10 is arranged around the carbon filtration, calcination, crystallization, refrigeration, dry ammonium and dry ammonium packaging processes, and is used to collect the initial rainwater in the combined alkali production. An automatic control valve is provided at the connection between the open ditch 10 and the rainwater underground pipe network 14.

[0018] like Figure 2As shown, the initial rainwater collection pool 11 includes a sedimentation tank 11-1, a grease trap 11-2 and a clean water tank 11-3, which adopts a three-stage separation arrangement to remove impurities such as mud, surface floating objects, and oil pollution in rainwater, thereby improving the cleanliness of the recovered initial rainwater. The sedimentation tank 11-1 is connected to the open ditch 10 through a dark ditch, and an ammonia nitrogen online analyzer and an automatic control valve are arranged in the dark ditch; the upper part of the sedimentation tank 11-1 is connected to the grease trap 11-2, and a grid is arranged between the two to isolate floating objects on the water surface; the grease trap 11-2 is used to remove oil pollution in rainwater, and a liquid level gauge is arranged therein, and an automatic control valve is arranged between the grease trap 11-2 and the clean water tank 11-3, and the switch of the automatic control valve can be automatically controlled by the liquid level gauge; the clean water tank 11-3 is a closed type, with a breathing tube on the top, and a liquid level gauge and a submersible pump are arranged inside.

[0019] The inlet of the clean rainwater barrel 12 is connected to the clean water tank 11-3, and the outlet is connected to the high-level tank of the carbon filter process 2 through the clean rainwater pipeline, and is used as supplementary water for the belt filter washing. The increase in the amount of washing water can reduce the heavy alkali salt content and improve the quality of heavy alkali and soda ash. A clean rainwater pump is provided on the clean rainwater pipeline, and is also connected to the crystallizer of the crystallization process 6 through the miscellaneous water pump outlet pipeline, which is used to clean the crystallizer and reduce the cost of using production water. Among them, the miscellaneous water pump outlet pipeline is also connected to the miscellaneous water barrel 13 of the alkali production equipment, which is used to provide water for cleaning the crystallizer to the crystallization process.

[0020] The clean rainwater pipeline is provided with a filter, which is an automatic backwash filter. Figure 3 As shown, an inlet pressure gauge and an inlet automatic control valve are provided on the inlet side of the filter on the clean rainwater pipeline, and an outlet pressure gauge and an outlet automatic control valve are provided on the outlet side; the clean rainwater pipeline is also connected to the outlet of the filter through a bypass water pipe, and a bypass automatic control valve is provided on the bypass water pipe for backwashing the filter; the filter is also connected to a sewage pipe leading to a sedimentation tank 11-1, and a sewage automatic control valve is provided on the sewage pipe, which can not only avoid the indiscriminate discharge of sewage during sewage discharge, but also can use the sedimentation tank 11-1 to settle the debris and further recover the clean rainwater.

[0021] The method for cleaning and recycling initial rainwater in combined alkali production using the above device comprises the following steps: S1. Collect initial rainwater through the open ditch 10, detect the ammonia nitrogen value in the dark ditch, and when the ammonia nitrogen value is greater than 15 mg / L, the automatic control valve of the dark ditch automatically opens to collect rainwater into the sedimentation tank 11-1, and the automatic control valve at the connection between the open ditch 10 and the rainwater underground pipe network 14 automatically closes; otherwise, the automatic control valve of the dark ditch automatically closes, stops collecting rainwater, and the automatic control valve at the connection between the open ditch 10 and the rainwater underground pipe network 14 automatically closes, and the rainwater that meets the external discharge standard is discharged; S2. After the rainwater enters the sedimentation tank 11-1, it flows into the grease trap 11-2 through the upper overflow. When the liquid level in the grease trap 11-2 is ≥80%, the automatic control valve between the grease trap 11-2 and the clean water tank 11-3 opens, and the rainwater continues to flow into the clean water tank 11-3; when the liquid level in the grease trap 11-2 is ≤30%, the automatic control valve between the grease trap 11-2 and the clean water tank 11-3 closes, and the grease trap 11-2 continues to collect rainwater; S3.

After the rainwater enters the clean rainwater barrel 12, it enters the high-level tank of the carbon filter process through the clean rainwater pipeline and serves as the wash water supplement water for the filter.

[0022] When the mother liquor shrinks greatly in the combined alkali production and the required supplementary water in S4 is insufficient, the culvert in S1 can be artificially controlled to remain open to recycle all the rainwater.

[0023] When the inlet and outlet pressure difference of the filter is ≥0.15MPa, the inlet and outlet automatic control valves are closed, the bypass automatic control valve and the sewage automatic control valve are opened, and the filter screen in the filter is automatically backwashed while the clean rainwater pump is continuously turned on to achieve fully automatic control.

[0024] When the crystallization process requires cleaning of the crystallizer, the clean rainwater in the clean rainwater barrel 12 can also be sent into the crystallizer through the outlet pipeline of the miscellaneous water pump to be used as production water to clean the crystallizer, thereby reducing the use of production water and reducing costs.
