Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of saline wastewater treatment, and in particular relates to a hardness removal device and method for high-hardness saline wastewater. Background Art

[0002] The conventional treatment process for high-hardness salt-containing wastewater is a chemical softening process as a pretreatment. The hardness is reduced to 100 mg / L to 150 mg / L by adding a large amount of hardness removal agents. After the first-level membrane concentration, the concentrated water is further chemically softened and then further removed through a cationic bed softening process to meet the requirements of the membrane concentration system and the evaporation crystallization system for the inlet water hardness.

[0003] Although conventional treatment processes are relatively mature, there are still many problems in actual operation. For example, it is difficult to control the amount of hardness removal agent added in real time according to the hardness of the incoming water during the actual dosing process. Therefore, in order to ensure the hardness removal effect, the dosage is usually controlled according to a higher hardness value, resulting in excessive addition of hardness removal agent, which greatly increases the cost of the agent. At the same time, excessive addition of agents will also lead to an increase in the salt content of the wastewater, increasing the investment and operating costs of membrane concentration and evaporation crystallization.

[0004] If the conventional cationic bed resin softening process is used to treat high-hardness wastewater, the regeneration cycle will be greatly shortened, regeneration will be frequent, or the resin filling amount will be greatly increased, the investment will be high, and a large amount of acid, alkali or salt regeneration agents will be required. Therefore, conventional cationic bed resin is not suitable for treating high-hardness saline wastewater, but only for treating low-hardness wastewater as a subsequent deep treatment process of chemical softening. In addition, the conventional cationic bed resin softening process will increase the salt content of the system due to the addition of acid, alkali or salt regeneration agents, which will also increase the investment and operating costs of membrane concentration and evaporation crystallization.

[0005] When the resin is regenerated with salt, sodium chloride is generally used for regeneration, and the regeneration waste liquid is discharged to the front-end regulating tank or sedimentation tank. If sodium sulfate is used for regeneration, calcium sulfate crystals will precipitate and deposit on the resin bed and the wall of the equipment, gradually forming calcium sulfate scale with higher hardness. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a hardness removal device and method for high-hardness salt-containing wastewater, which adopts sodium sulfate solution, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride mixed solution, and membrane concentration system concentrated water as regeneration liquid, which can replace the traditional chemical softening method and cationic bed softening method for combined hardness removal, and achieve the complete removal of high hardness. The regenerated waste liquid can form calcium sulfate precipitation without adding drugs, which greatly reduces the dosage of hardness removal agent.

[0028] S1. Ion exchange: The ion exchange resin enters the exchange column from the exchange column resin storage, and the wastewater in the water inlet tank is transported into the exchange column from the water inlet at the bottom of the exchange column by the water inlet pump; when the wastewater flows through the exchange column from bottom to top, it exchanges ions with the sodium ions on the ion exchange resin, and the hardness of the wastewater is removed to obtain the produced water, which enters the water production tank from the water outlet at the top of the exchange column through the exchange column outlet pipe; the saturated resin formed by the ion exchange resin enters the regeneration unit for further regeneration;

[0029] S2. Resin regeneration: In the regeneration unit, the saturated resin passes through the first regeneration column, the second regeneration column, and the third regeneration column in sequence for primary regeneration, secondary regeneration, and tertiary regeneration. The primary regeneration liquid enters the third regeneration column, the second regeneration column, and the first regeneration column in sequence to regenerate the resin.

The wastewater flows through the ion exchange resin from bottom to top in the exchange column, and the ion exchange resin moves from top to bottom. The wastewater is in countercurrent contact with the ion exchange resin, and the calcium and magnesium ions in the wastewater are exchanged with the sodium ions on the ion exchange resin to achieve the effect of removing the hardness in the wastewater; the saturated resin passes through the first regeneration column, the second regeneration column, and the third regeneration column in turn for primary regeneration, secondary regeneration, and tertiary regeneration, and the primary regeneration liquid enters the third regeneration column, the second regeneration column, and the first regeneration column in turn to regenerate the resin, and a countercurrent regeneration method is adopted to improve the regeneration degree of the resin; the obtained regenerated resin is transferred to the exchange column for ion exchange, and the formed regeneration waste liquid is transferred to the regeneration waste liquid disposal unit for treatment.

[0041] The hardness removal device and method for high-hardness salt-containing wastewater provided by the present invention can replace the traditional chemical softening method and cationic bed softening method for combined hardness removal, and achieve complete removal of high hardness. The regeneration liquid can use sodium sulfate solution, or a mixed solution of sodium sulfate and sodium chloride, or concentrated water from a membrane concentration system. The regenerated waste liquid can form calcium sulfate precipitation without adding any medicine, which greatly reduces the amount of hardness removal agent added. Compared with conventional hardness removal processes, the salt content of the system is greatly reduced; at the same time, the problem of calcium sulfate scale deposition and clogging caused by sodium sulfate as the regeneration liquid is solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be further clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] The inventor found in the research process of this embodiment that the patent document with publication number CN116750841A discloses a coal chemical production wastewater hardness removal system and method, wherein sodium ion exchange resin tanks connected in sequence are used to remove hardness from wastewater, and the sodium ion exchange resin tanks are regenerated using sulfate, and calcium ions in the regenerated waste liquid react with sulfate to generate calcium sulfate, forming gypsum solids, and the regenerated waste liquid is precipitated and recycled as regenerated liquid. The patent provides a system and method for removing hardness by sodium ion exchange resin, but fails to completely solve the problem of calcium sulfate scaling. The calcium sulfate deposited at the bottom of the precipitation separation tank will form calcium sulfate scale with high hardness, and gypsum solids need to be discharged regularly, which will consume a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve; in addition, during the recycling process of the regenerated waste liquid as the regenerated liquid after precipitation, the supernatant still contains high hardness, which will cause low resin regeneration rate, and then low resin utilization rate; magnesium ions in the regenerated waste liquid cannot be discharged from the system through precipitation separation, and will accumulate in the system; sodium ions and sulfate ions are constantly consumed during the regeneration process, so it is still necessary to continuously add regeneration agent to maintain the concentration of the regenerated liquid.

[0047] The innovation of the present invention lies in that it completely solves the problem of calcium sulfate scaling, and systematically and thoroughly treats and recycles the regeneration waste liquid. At the same time, magnesium ions will not accumulate in the system. The effluent from the treated regeneration waste liquid can be returned to, for example, the membrane concentrate and evaporation crystallization unit of the zero-emission system, thereby truly achieving the recycling of the regeneration liquid.

[0048] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a hardness removal device for high-hardness saline wastewater, the device comprising an exchange unit, a regeneration unit, and a regeneration waste liquid disposal unit, wherein:

[0049] The exchange unit comprises an exchange column 1, an inlet tank 6, a production water tank 7, and an inlet pump 15. After the wastewater is pre-treated at the front end to remove suspended solids, it enters the inlet tank 6. The inlet tank 6 is connected to the inlet pump 15 via a pipeline. The outlet pipe of the inlet pump is connected to the bottom water inlet of the exchange column 1 through the exchange column inlet pipe 32. The top water outlet of the exchange column 1 is connected to the production water tank 7 through the exchange column outlet pipe 33.

[0050] Specifically, an exchange column resin storage 261 is installed on the top of the exchange column 1, and an exchange column resin storage valve 271 is installed between the exchange column resin storage 261 and the top of the exchange column 1 to ensure that the amount of resin transferred into the exchange column 1 each time is a fixed value.

[0051] The bottom outlet of the exchange column 1 is connected to the regeneration unit through the first resin transfer pipe 61; the saturated resin in the lower layer of the exchange column 1 is transferred to the regeneration unit by gas lift, and the saturated resin is finally returned to the exchange column 1 after the regeneration and water washing of the resin are completed in the regeneration unit.

[0054] The resin described in this embodiment is a general term for resins in any state in the exchange column 1, the first regeneration column 2, the second regeneration column 3, the third regeneration column 4, and the water washing column 5. It can be a saturated resin formed after ion exchange, a primary regenerated resin obtained after a primary regeneration, a secondary regenerated resin obtained after a secondary regeneration, a tertiary regenerated resin obtained after a tertiary regeneration, or a regenerated resin obtained after water washing.

[0055] Optionally, the rising velocity of the wastewater in the exchange column 1 is less than 20 m / h, preferably 5 to 15 m / h; the residence time of the resin in the exchange column 1 is 2 to 8 h, preferably 3 to 6 h.

[0056] The regeneration unit includes a first regeneration column 2, a second regeneration column 3, a third regeneration column 4, a water washing column 5, a first regeneration liquid tank 8, a second regeneration liquid tank 9, a third regeneration liquid tank 10, a regeneration waste liquid storage tank 11, a compressed air storage tank 14, a water washing column inlet pump 16, a grid flushing water pump 17, a first regeneration liquid pump 18, a second regeneration liquid pump 19, a third regeneration liquid pump 20, a first regeneration liquid tank agitator 22, a second regeneration liquid tank agitator 23, a third regeneration liquid tank agitator 24, a first resin grid 28, and a second resin grid 29.

[0057] In the regeneration unit, countercurrent regeneration is used to improve the regeneration degree of the resin, that is, the resin to be regenerated (i.e., saturated resin) passes through the first regeneration column 2, the second regeneration column 3, and the third regeneration column 4 in sequence to complete the regeneration, and the regeneration liquid enters the third regeneration column 4 (primary regeneration liquid), the second regeneration column 3 (secondary regeneration liquid), and the first regeneration column 2 (tertiary regeneration liquid) in sequence to regenerate the resin. According to the density and particle size of the resin particles, the appropriate aeration and stirring intensity of the regeneration liquid is selected. The residence time of the tertiary regeneration liquid in the first regeneration column 2 is 2 to 10 hours, preferably 3 to 6 hours; in the second regeneration column 3, in order to make the resin in a fluidized or expanded suspension state, the secondary regeneration liquid has an upward flow rate of 15 to 30 m / h, and a suitable upward flow rate is selected according to the density and particle size of the resin particles; in the third regeneration column 4, in order to fully regenerate the resin, the primary regeneration liquid uses a low flow rate to regenerate the resin, and the primary regeneration liquid has an upward flow rate of less than 15 m / h, preferably 5 to 10 m / h; in the washing column 5, the resin is fully rinsed while reducing the amount of washing water, the washing water upward flow rate is less than 25 m / h, and a suitable upward flow rate is selected according to the density and particle size of the resin particles to ensure that the resin does not expand, preferably 10 to 20 m / h, and the amount of washing water is 1 to 2 times the amount of resin in the washing column 5. In the regeneration unit, the resin residence time is 8 to 16 hours, preferably 8 to 12 hours.

[0058] Specifically, the top of the first regeneration column 2 is connected to the first resin grid 28, the first resin storage 262, and the first resin storage valve 272 in sequence through pipelines from top to bottom. The bottom outlet of the exchange column 1 is connected to the first resin grid 28 at the top of the first regeneration column 2 through the first resin transfer pipe 61; the water inlet of the first resin grid 28 is connected to the outlet of the grid flushing water pump 17 through the first grid flushing water pipe 35, and the inlet of the grid flushing water pump 17 is connected to the water production tank 7 through a pipeline; the water outlet of the first resin grid 28 is connected to the flushing wastewater inlet of the water inlet tank 6 through the first grid flushing wastewater pipe 44.

[0059] Optionally, the first resin transfer pipe 61 is connected to the air outlet of the compressed air storage tank 14 through the resin transfer air pipe 48, and the compressed air storage tank 14 is used to supply air, and the saturated resin in the lower layer of the exchange column 1 is transferred to the first resin grid 28 through the first resin transfer pipe 61 by air lift; the saturated resin is washed in the first resin grid 28 by a small amount of produced water delivered by the grid washing water pump 17, and the waste water and suspended matter that may be entrained in the saturated resin can be removed, and then enters the first resin storage 262 to eliminate the influence of the waste water and the like entrained in the saturated resin on the first regeneration column 2. In a specific embodiment, by installing the first resin storage valve 272 below the first resin storage 262, it is ensured that the resin transfer amount entering the first regeneration column 2 each time is a fixed value.

[0060] Optionally, the air inlet at the bottom of the first regeneration column 2 is connected to the air outlet of the compressed air storage tank 14 through a stirring air pipe 47, so that the saturated resin in the first regeneration column 2 and the tertiary regeneration liquid are fully contacted by air stirring, while ensuring that the produced calcium sulfate precipitate will not be deposited in the resin column to form calcium sulfate scale; thereby, the materials (saturated resin, tertiary regeneration liquid) in the first regeneration column 2 are in a fluidized bed operation mode.

[0061] Optionally, a resin transfer pneumatic valve 30 is provided on the resin transfer air pipe 48 for opening and closing the resin transfer and adjusting the resin transfer air supply.

[0062] The outlet of the first regeneration liquid pump 18 is connected to the water inlet at the bottom of the first regeneration column 2 through the first regeneration liquid inlet pipe 37, and the inlet of the first regeneration liquid pump 18 is connected to the bottom of the first regeneration liquid tank 8; the water outlet at the top of the first regeneration column 2 is connected to the water inlet of the regeneration waste liquid storage tank 11 through the first regeneration liquid outlet pipe 40. The tertiary regeneration liquid in the first regeneration liquid tank 8 enters the first regeneration column 2 from the water inlet at the bottom of the first regeneration column 2, and countercurrently contacts with the saturated resin entering from the top of the first regeneration column 2, completing the primary regeneration of the saturated resin in the first regeneration column 2, and obtaining the primary regeneration resin. The regeneration waste liquid formed after the reaction of the tertiary regeneration liquid and the saturated resin enters the regeneration waste liquid storage tank 11 from the water outlet at the top of the first regeneration column 2 through the first regeneration liquid outlet pipe 40.

[0063] Since the calcium content in the saturated resin of the first regeneration column 2 is the highest in the regeneration unit, the calcium ions in the saturated resin react with the sulfate ions in the tertiary regeneration liquid to form calcium sulfate precipitates. The first regeneration column 2 adopts a fluidized bed operation mode, and most of the generated calcium sulfate can enter the regeneration waste liquid storage tank 11 along with the regeneration waste liquid; in addition, a small amount of calcium sulfate enters the second resin grid 29 along with the primary regeneration resin, and enters the regeneration waste liquid storage tank 11 after flushing, thereby avoiding calcium sulfate deposition and clogging the first regeneration column 2.

[0064] Optionally, considering the precipitation of calcium sulfate in the regeneration waste liquid in the regeneration waste liquid storage tank 11, a third regeneration liquid tank agitator 24 is installed in the regeneration waste liquid storage tank 11 to prevent the calcium sulfate in the regeneration waste liquid storage tank 11 from being deposited in the tank body.

The lower layer resin of the first regeneration column 2 is transferred to the second resin grid 29 through the second resin transfer pipe 62, and the resin enters the second resin storage 263 after being flushed with a small amount of produced water.
