Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of industrial waste liquid treatment and resource utilization, and relates to a urea hydrolyzer waste liquid resource utilization treatment system and method. Background Art
[0002] In industrial production, urea hydrolyzers are widely used to hydrolyze urea solution, producing ammonia and other products for subsequent processes such as denitrification. However, during operation, impurity ions in the urea solution become highly concentrated in the hydrolyzer, especially chloride ions, which can cause localized corrosion of the stainless steel reactor and heat exchange tubes. Regular wastewater discharge is one method to control and reduce the chloride ion concentration in the hydrolyzed solution. However, most power plants struggle with the difficulty of treating wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen, COD, and salt, making it difficult to treat after discharge. This causes the chloride ion concentration in the hydrolyzer to seriously exceed the standard, threatening the stable operation of the hydrolyzer. Direct discharge of the chloride ion would also cause serious environmental pollution.
[0003] Currently, the main treatment methods for wastewater generated by urea hydrolysis include physical, chemical, and biological methods. These methods can only remove insoluble impurities in the wastewater, with limited effects on the removal of ammonia nitrogen and COD. Furthermore, the treatment costs are high and secondary pollution is likely to occur. The existing technologies have the following major problems:
[0004] High energy consumption: The traditional stripping method requires additional steam heating and does not utilize the waste heat of the hydrolysis waste liquid, which is usually 50-80°C, resulting in a 30%-50% increase in operating costs;
[0005] Low ammonia nitrogen recovery rate: Ammonia absorption is insufficient, the recovery rate is less than 80%, and tail gas escape causes secondary pollution;
[0006] Salt is difficult to handle: high salt levels cause scaling and clogging of evaporation crystallizers, and the salt purity is low, usually less than 90%, making it impossible to recycle;
[0007] Incomplete COD degradation: Residues of difficult-to-degrade nitrogen-containing organic matter (such as carbamate) make it difficult for the effluent COD to reach the standard (>100 mg / L) stably.
[0008] In summary, the treatment methods for waste liquid generated by urea hydrolysis have the problems of high energy consumption, low ammonia nitrogen recovery rate, inability to recover salt and incomplete COD degradation. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a urea hydrolyzer waste liquid resource treatment system and method to solve the technical problems of high energy consumption, low ammonia nitrogen recovery rate, inability to recover salt and incomplete COD degradation in the treatment method of waste liquid generated by urea hydrolysis.
[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0011] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a urea hydrolyzer waste liquid resource treatment system, comprising:
[0012] pH adjustment pool;
[0013] A packing stripping tower, wherein the outlet of the pH adjustment water tank is connected to the inlet of the packing stripping tower through a spiral plate heat exchanger; the packing stripping tower is provided with a gas outlet and a waste liquid outlet, and the gas outlet is connected to an ammonium sulfate storage tank through a two-stage sulfuric acid absorption tower;
[0014] A / O-MBR reactor, the waste liquid outlet is connected to a multi-effect evaporator through the A / O-MBR reactor, the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor, and the evaporator heat pump in sequence, the multi-effect evaporator is provided with a condensed water outlet and a concentrated liquid outlet, and the concentrated liquid outlet is connected to a crystallizer.
[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for resource-based treatment of urea hydrolyzer waste liquid, based on a urea hydrolyzer waste liquid resource-based treatment system, comprising the following steps:
[0016] The urea hydrolysis wastewater was passed into the pH adjustment tank to adjust the pH of the wastewater to 11.2±0.3;
[0017] The waste liquid after pH adjustment is passed into the spiral plate heat exchanger for temperature adjustment to ensure that the temperature of the waste liquid after pH adjustment is greater than or equal to 70°C;
[0018] The waste liquid enters the packed stripping tower from the spiral plate heat exchanger for ammonia nitrogen stripping. The ammonia-containing gas generated after stripping enters the two-stage sulfuric acid absorption tower to obtain ammonium sulfate solution, which is stored in the ammonium sulfate storage tank;
[0019] The wastewater after stripping is cooled to 35℃ and enters the A / O-MBR reactor for denitrification and COD degradation;
[0020] The effluent from the A / O-MBR reactor enters the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor for further COD degradation;
[0021] The effluent from the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor enters the multi-effect evaporator to obtain evaporated condensed water and concentrated liquid. The condensed water is reused to replenish the urea hydrolyzer, and the concentrated liquid enters the crystallizer to crystallize and separate Na2CO3. The crystallization mother liquor produced by the crystallizer is refluxed to the inlet of the evaporator heat pump.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] The present invention adjusts the pH of the urea hydrolyzer wastewater to 11.2±0.3 in a pH-regulating tank. The urea hydrolyzer is used to adjust the temperature of the wastewater to be treated, ensuring that the wastewater entering the packing stripping tower meets the required temperature and preventing excessive temperature rise. The packing stripping tower separates ammonia-containing gas and stripped wastewater, facilitating subsequent treatment. The stripping process in the packing stripping tower utilizes the wastewater's own heat, facilitating energy conservation and cost reduction. The ammonium sulfate generated by the two-stage sulfuric acid absorption tower has a purity of ≥99%, achieving efficient ammonia nitrogen removal and resource recovery. The wastewater undergoes denitrification and COD degradation in an A / O-MBR reactor, and further COD degradation is performed in an electrocatalytic oxidation reactor, facilitating wastewater recycling. A multi-effect evaporator separates the wastewater into condensate and concentrate, with the condensate used for recycling and the concentrate used for crystallization and separation of Na2CO3, achieving full utilization of wastewater resources. The present invention realizes efficient ammonia nitrogen removal and salt resource recovery and utilization of high-salt waste liquid. The recovered products include ammonium sulfate, Na2CO3 and condensed water. During the wastewater treatment process, the waste heat of the urea hydrolyzer waste liquid is used as the heat source for the packing stripping tower and the multi-effect evaporator, which is conducive to energy saving and consumption reduction.
[0024] The method of the present invention passes the urea hydrolysis waste liquid into a pH adjustment water tank to adjust the pH of the waste liquid to 11.2±0.3, thereby promoting the conversion of ammonium ions into free NH3. The waste liquid after pH adjustment is passed into a spiral plate heat exchanger for temperature adjustment to ensure that the temperature of the waste liquid after pH adjustment is greater than or equal to 70°C, which is convenient for the stripping of ammonia nitrogen. The waste liquid enters the packed stripping tower from the spiral plate heat exchanger for ammonia nitrogen stripping. The ammonia-containing gas generated after stripping enters a two-stage sulfuric acid absorption tower to obtain ammonium sulfate solution, and the ammonium sulfate solution is stored in an ammonium sulfate storage tank. The waste water after stripping is cooled to 35°C and enters the A / O-MBR reactor for denitrification and COD degradation; the effluent from the A / O-MBR reactor enters the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor for further COD degradation, which is beneficial to the comprehensive recovery of the waste liquid. The effluent from the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor enters a multiple-effect evaporator, producing evaporated condensate and concentrated liquid. The condensate is reused to replenish the urea hydrolyzer, while the concentrated liquid enters a crystallizer to separate Na2CO3. The resulting crystallization mother liquor is refluxed to the inlet of the evaporator's heat pump. This invention achieves efficient ammonia and nitrogen removal and salt resource recovery from high-salt wastewater. During the wastewater treatment process, waste heat from the urea hydrolyzer wastewater is used as a heat source for the packing stripping tower and the multiple-effect evaporator, contributing to energy conservation and consumption reduction.

[0080] b. Deep degradation of COD and stable compliance with standards:

[0095] S2, salt-tolerant bio-electrocatalytic synergistic degradation of COD;
[0096] Step description: The wastewater after stripping is cooled to 35°C and enters the A / O-MBR reactor 7. It first enters the anoxic tank with a hydraulic retention time of 6 hours. Sodium acetate is added to maintain the carbon-nitrogen ratio C / N=5:1 to promote denitrification.
[0097] After staying in the anoxic tank for 6 hours, it enters the aerobic tank (DO = 3.5 mg / L, HRT = 12 hours) using salt-tolerant bacteria, with a hydraulic retention time of 12 hours. The sludge suspended solids concentration (MLSS) is maintained at 12,000-15,000 mg / L, and COD is degraded to ≤300 mg / L.

[0099] The effluent from the MBR membrane assembly 703 enters the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor 8. The anode uses a Ti / PbO2 electrode, and the cathode is loaded with a Fe3O4 / graphene composite catalyst. 80 mg / L of H2O2 is added to the inlet of the electrocatalytic oxidation reactor 8, the current density is 15 mA / cm2, and the reaction takes 40 minutes.
