Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of industrial wastewater treatment and resource utilization, and particularly relates to a method for treating dilute sulfuric acid wastewater. Background Art
[0002] Lead-acid batteries mainly consist of lead plates, electrolyte, and a casing. The electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution. When recycling and disassembling lead-acid batteries, this sulfuric acid is released, forming dilute sulfuric acid wastewater. In addition to sulfuric acid, it also contains heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic generated from the corrosion of the plates during battery use. For this type of dilute sulfuric acid wastewater, the existing treatment processes generally adopt a process route of "lime neutralization + resin heavy metal removal + sodium carbonate softening + multi-media + ultrafiltration + resin softening + membrane concentration + evaporation crystallization". The consumption of sodium carbonate and resin acid-base regeneration agents is large, the efficiency of resin heavy metal removal is low, and the treatment cost of the mixed salt solid waste generated by evaporation crystallization is relatively high. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the existing technology and provide a method for treating dilute sulfuric acid wastewater.
[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is outlined as follows:
[0005] A method for treating dilute sulfuric acid wastewater, comprising the following steps:
[0006] (1) Adding lime milk to the dilute sulfuric acid wastewater for lime neutralization to obtain a calcium sulfate mother liquor and sludge;
[0007] (2) Treating the sludge to obtain gypsum mud cake and filtrate under pressure, and the filtrate under pressure is combined with the dilute sulfuric acid wastewater for lime neutralization;
[0008] (3) Passing an aqueous sodium chloride solution, water, and the calcium sulfate mother liquor through a permselective electrodialysis for salt splitting to obtain a calcium chloride feed liquid, a dilute calcium sulfate feed liquid, and a sodium sulfate feed liquid respectively;
[0009] (4) Passing the calcium chloride feed liquid successively through a second reverse osmosis concentration, a third reverse osmosis concentration, resin heavy metal removal, and a first evaporator for salt production to obtain a calcium chloride product;
[0010] (5) Passing the sodium sulfate feed liquid successively through a fourth reverse osmosis concentration, a fifth reverse osmosis concentration, and a second evaporator for salt production to obtain a sodium sulfate product;
[0011] (6) Passing the dilute calcium sulfate feed liquid through a first reverse osmosis concentration, and the concentrated calcium sulfate feed liquid is combined with the calcium sulfate mother liquor after lime neutralization for permselective electrodialysis salt splitting;
[0012] (7) Combine the produced water from the first reverse osmosis concentration, the second reverse osmosis concentration, the third reverse osmosis concentration, the fourth reverse osmosis concentration, the fifth reverse osmosis concentration, the salt production in the first evaporation crystallizer, and the salt production in the second evaporation crystallizer as product water.
[0013] Preferably, the salt content of the dilute calcium sulfate feed liquid is 100 - 200 mg / L.
[0014] Advantages of the present invention:
[0015] The treatment process of the present invention is simple and efficient, and product recovery can be achieved synchronously. By using displacement electrodialysis to remove salt, the neutralized slightly soluble calcium sulfate mother liquor is converted into calcium chloride feed liquid and sodium sulfate feed liquid with high solubility, and further concentrated and crystallized into high-value industrial products, realizing secondary economic benefits. The present invention uses displacement electrodialysis to remove salt to enrich heavy metal trace impurity ions in the calcium chloride feed liquid with high solubility, increases the concentration of impurity ions by concentration, and then removes them by resin adsorption, solving the problem of difficult removal of low-concentration impurity ions in dilute sulfuric acid wastewater.
