Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to industrial fields such as metallurgy and electronics, and specifically provides a method for treating acidic waste liquid and waste gas. Background Art
[0002] The efficient treatment of acidic waste liquid and waste gas has always been a difficult problem in the fields of metallurgy, chemical engineering, and electronic manufacturing.
[0003] In traditional processes, waste liquid and waste gas usually adopt separate treatment routes:
[0004] Waste liquid treatment: The mainstream methods include neutralization precipitation, electrolysis, and ion exchange. For example, in the neutralization method, lime and calcium carbonate are added step by step to precipitate copper ions and recover calcium chloride, but there are problems such as large consumption of reagents, high moisture content of filter residue (≥30%), and equipment corrosion caused by residual chloride ions; the electrolysis method has high energy consumption (≥5 kWh / m 3 ) and is difficult to treat low-concentration copper waste liquid (Cu 2+ <5%).
[0005] Waste gas treatment: The Claus process and its derivative technologies (such as Super Claus, SCOT) are the main means for treating sulfur-containing waste gas, but the sulfur recovery rate is limited by the thermodynamic equilibrium (≤99.8%), and a tail gas desulfurization device (such as alkali solution washing) needs to be equipped to control SO2 emissions, resulting in a complex process and a large amount of wastewater generation. In addition, the traditional incineration process (temperature ≤800°C) does not completely convert organic sulfur such as COS and CS2, and the SO2 concentration in the tail gas is often higher than 200 mg / m 3 , making it difficult to meet the strict standards of GB 31574-2015.
[0006] The existing technologies have the following key defects: The copper recovery rate in the waste liquid is generally ≤95%, and the purity of calcium chloride is less than 90% due to impurity entrainment; the sulfur recovery rate of the waste gas is restricted by the Claus reaction equilibrium, and the residual sulfur is discharged in the form of SO2, resulting in significant resource waste. Chlorine gas (Cl2) is easily released during the neutralization process of the waste liquid, and salt-containing wastewater (Na2SO3 / NaHSO3) is generated during the wet desulfurization of the waste gas, requiring additional treatment costs. The equipment redundancy of the step-by-step process is high (such as the waste liquid evaporator and the tail gas incinerator operate independently), and the waste heat of the waste liquid reaction is not utilized, increasing the comprehensive energy consumption by 25% - 40%. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technologies, the present invention provides a method for treating acidic waste liquid and waste gas, which solves the problems in the existing methods that the treatment of waste liquid and waste gas is separated, resource synergistic utilization cannot be achieved, and secondary pollution is easily generated. After the waste gas is incinerated, the SO2 emission concentration is difficult to stably be lower than 100 mg / m 3, an additional desulfurization device is required, which increases the cost, and the waste heat generated during the neutralization process of the waste liquid is not recovered, resulting in waste of energy consumption.
