Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of chemical industry, and particularly relates to a treatment method and device for ammonia-nitrogen water generated in surfactant production. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bulk surfactant is an important daily chemical raw material, which is widely used in product fields such as washing and care, and cosmetics as a key functional ingredient, and has high market application value. However, a certain amount of sewage containing ammonia-nitrogen, high COD and total nitrogen value is generated in its production and preparation. If this part of sewage cannot be solved in time and effectively, the accumulation of sewage will cause the production of products to be suspended, which will inevitably cause huge economic losses.

[0003] At present, the methods for treating ammonia-nitrogen water in industry include distillation method, air stripping method, chemical precipitation method, biochemical oxidation method, ion exchange method and the like. Although the above methods can solve the problem of reducing the ammonia-nitrogen value in wastewater in a short period, they have defects such as high energy consumption, low treatment efficiency, large device occupation, and environmental pollution (many by-products) in a long-term treatment cycle.

[0004] In the previous research of the present applicant, we experimented with a variety of nanofiltration membranes to filter such wastewater. Due to the presence of a large amount of small-molecule organic amines in such wastewater, the total nitrogen content in the clean water is high. In order to control the total nitrogen content in the clean water, a multi-stage nanofiltration system must be used for repeated filtration.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is: how to use only one nanofiltration membrane to realize the reuse of wastewater raw materials, and control the clean water discharge to be close to or below 100 ppm of total nitrogen. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a treatment method for ammonia-nitrogen water generated in surfactant production. The method selects a nanofiltration membrane in advance, combines the characteristics of organic matter in ammonia-nitrogen wastewater, and combines the production requirements of the surfactant production system. After repeated debugging, a wastewater treatment method capable of producing large amounts of clean water, recycling the concentrated liquid to the production system, and meeting the discharge standard of clean water is found. The method only needs one nanofiltration membrane to achieve the basic purpose.

[0007] Meanwhile, the present application also provides a system suitable for the method.

[0008] In order to achieve the purpose of the present application, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0009] A treatment method for ammonia-nitrogen water generated in surfactant production, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: the ammonia-nitrogen water produced by the surfactant production system is coarsely filtered by a coarse filtering system to remove solid impurities in the ammonia-nitrogen water;

[0011] Step 2: the ammonia-nitrogen water is filtered by a primary membrane system, and after the filtration, primary concentrated water and primary clean water are obtained; the primary clean water is fed into an intermediate tank; the pH of the intermediate tank is adjusted to 10±0.5;

[0012] Step 3: the primary clean water is filtered by a secondary membrane system, and after the filtration, secondary concentrated water and secondary clean water are obtained; the secondary concentrated water is returned to the intermediate tank, and part of the liquid in the intermediate tank is reused to the surfactant production system;

[0013] The membrane used by the primary membrane system is a ceramic membrane or a silicon carbide membrane; the membrane used by the secondary membrane system is a polyamide (PA) nanofiltration membrane;

[0014] In Step 2, the membrane inlet pressure is controlled to 0.3-0.4 MPa, and the concentration ratio of the clear liquid and the concentrated liquid is 5-7:1;

[0015] In Step 3, the membrane inlet pressure is controlled to 2.9-3.1 MPa, and the concentration ratio of the clear liquid and the concentrated liquid is 6-9:1.

[0016] After the trial operation, 16 tons of ammonia-nitrogen wastewater can be treated, and 12 tons of clear liquid can be produced;

[0017] After the research, the clear liquid production efficiency is related to the following factors:

[0018] 1. the control of the pH of the intermediate tank;

[0019] 2. the control of the secondary membrane filtration process;

[0020] 3. the selection of the nanofiltration membrane;

[0021] Specifically, the pH of the raw solution is strongly alkaline, and the pH is 11-12; the filtration efficiency of the nanofiltration membrane is the highest under the condition of neutral or slightly acidic, but if it is neutralized to neutral or slightly acidic, the organic bases such as propylenediamine in the ammonia-nitrogen water will be completely neutralized, so that the raw material cannot be reused to the production system; the pH is moderately adjusted to 10±0.5 in the present application, which can optimize the performance of the filtration efficiency, the membrane cleaning cycle, the raw material reusability and the like;

[0022] Taking the raw solution selected in the experimental process as an example, the pH is 11.2-11.8, and the content of propylenediamine is 500-800 mg / L -1 When the pH of the solution is adjusted to 10±0.5, propylenediamine is preferentially neutralized, part of propylenediamine forms chlorinated organic ammonium, and other macromolecular organic amines such as cocamide propyl dimethylamine in the ammonia-nitrogen water are basically not quaternized or a small amount of quaternized under the pH condition.

[0023] The small molecule organic amine is pre-neutralized, and has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. Propylenediamine is a compound with amine groups at both ends. Although the molecular weight is small, when both amine groups are neutralized, the ammonium formed will significantly increase the molecular radius of propylenediamine, making it easier to be adsorbed and intercepted by the nanofiltration membrane. Propylenediamine, as the most likely ammonia nitrogen in wastewater to appear in clean water, can significantly reduce the total nitrogen in clean water. If it is not neutralized to the above pH, but exists in a higher pH form (such as pH 11), the total nitrogen content in the wastewater is difficult to control.

[0025] 2. The polyamide nanofiltration membrane is negatively charged due to the ionization of carboxyl and amino groups (zeta potential is -10~ -50 mV when pH > 3), and it will combine with cationic substances during filtration, so such nanofiltration membranes have a significant advantage in the interception of high-valence metal ions. In the present application, the polyamide nanofiltration membrane and the neutralized propylenediamine are preferentially combined to form a layer of cationic propylenediamine on the surface of the membrane, which is not easy to block the filter holes. It has a longer cleaning cycle. If the ammonia nitrogen water is neutralized to a lower pH value (such as pH 9±0.5), cocamide propyl dimethylamine will be adsorbed by the nanofiltration membrane and accelerate the blockage of the filter holes.

[0026] 3. Moderate pH neutralization can allow the concentrated liquid to be reused in the production system. Under stable working conditions, by returning the concentrated liquid to the intermediate tank, the pH of the liquid in the intermediate tank is maintained at 10±0.5. When reused in the production system, after raw material blending, the pH can be restored to 11~12, maintaining the liquid in the intermediate tank in an optimal concentration state that can be utilized by the production system.

[0027] In addition, in the present application, the concentration ratio needs to be strictly controlled. By controlling the concentration ratio of the nanofiltration membrane, the total nitrogen content in the clear liquid can be controlled to be less than 110 mg / L. When the concentration ratio is less than 6, the efficiency is too low, and when the concentration ratio is greater than 9, the total nitrogen content in the product exceeds the standard.

[0028] In the above treatment method, the flow rate of the intermediate tank reused to the surfactant production system is 0.32~0.75 m³ / h.

[0029] In the above treatment method, the liquid reused from the intermediate tank to the surfactant production system first enters a concentrated liquid tank, and after blending in the concentrated liquid tank, it reaches the application standard required by the surfactant production system.

[0030] The primary concentrated water is returned to the inlet of the coarse filtration system.

[0031] In the above treatment method, the ammonia nitrogen water has a specification of COD: 9000~10000 mg·L -1; total nitrogen: 7500~8500mg·L -1 .

[0032] In the above treatment method, the discharge standard of the secondary clean water is COD≤500mg / L and total nitrogen≤110mg / L.

[0033] Meanwhile, the application also discloses a device for realizing the above method, which comprises a concentrated liquid tank and a wastewater tank, a rough filtration system, a primary membrane system, an intermediate tank and a secondary membrane system connected in sequence; the inlet of the primary membrane system is connected with the outlet of the rough filtration system; the clean liquid outlet of the primary membrane system is connected with the inlet of the intermediate tank; the concentrated liquid outlet of the primary membrane system is connected with the wastewater tank through a first circulating pump; the inlet of the secondary membrane system is connected with the outlet of the intermediate tank; the concentrated liquid outlet of the secondary membrane system is connected with the inlet of the intermediate tank through a second circulating pump; and the outlet of the intermediate tank is connected with the concentrated liquid tank through a first pump.

[0034] In the above device, the inlet of the primary membrane system and the inlet of the secondary membrane system are respectively connected with a feed pump and a booster pump;

[0035] The intermediate tank is provided with a temperature sensor, and the wastewater tank is provided with a liquid level sensor, which is linked with the first circulating pump.

[0036] In the above device, an acid liquid tank is further included, the intermediate tank is provided with a pH sensor, and the clean liquid outlet of the secondary membrane system is connected with a clean water tank through a second pump.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] 1. The application can realize the dual purposes of clean liquid discharge and concentrated liquid recycling by using only a primary nanofiltration membrane; and the purposes are realized by controlling the pH of the intermediate tank, selecting the nanofiltration membrane and process control.

[0039] 2. The concentrated water of the application is completely recycled without any concentrated water discharge; the pH of the concentrated water recycled to the production system is 10±0.5, and the pH value required by the system can be restored by mixing with raw material propylene diamine, etc., so that the pH impact on the production system is small and the raw material demand of the production system is completely met.

[0081] Comparative Example 1

[0082] The same as Example 1, except that the membrane pressure is controlled to 2.75 MPa during the filtration process, the concentration ratio (clean liquid: concentrated liquid) is 5:1, and the water sample temperature of the intermediate tank is 45±5℃.

[0089] Performance detection

[0090] The COD and ammonia nitrogen content of the filtrate after the secondary membrane system filtration were detected, and the detection results are shown in Table 1;

[0091] Table 1 Detection results

[0092] COD / mg L -1 ]] Total nitrogen / mg L -1 ]] Example 1 452 81.51 Example 2 382.6 59.3 Example 3 406.3 107.03 Comparative Example 1 397.9 68.52 Comparative Example 2 605.1 205.43 Comparative Example 3 362.7 43.08 Comparative Example 4 635.7 218.62

[0093] Result analysis:

[0094] 1. It can be seen from Examples 1 to 3 that the total nitrogen of the filtrate is less than 110 mg·L -1 , the COD value is less than 500, and the filtrate approaches or reaches the discharge standard; at the same time, only the pH of the intermediate tank needs to be adjusted to 10±0.5, which can be reused to the production system, without adjusting the pH, and the production system will also be supplemented with raw materials such as propylene diamine, and the pH of the solution in the intermediate tank has almost no impact on the pH stability of the production system.

[0095] 2. It can be seen from Comparative Examples 1 and 2 that too low concentration ratio (Comparative Example 2) can achieve the purpose of reaching the discharge standard, but it reduces the filtrate yield and increases the processing load of the nanofiltration membrane system; too high concentration ratio (Comparative Example 2) cannot achieve the discharge standard of the filtrate.

[0096] 3. It can be seen from Comparative Examples 3 and 4 that a lower pH value is beneficial to the control of total nitrogen and COD value of the filtrate, but based on the system running process, the cleaning cycle of the nanofiltration membrane is 64 tons of ammonia nitrogen water under the running environment of Examples 1 to 3, and the cleaning cycle of the nanofiltration membrane is shortened to 16 tons of ammonia nitrogen water under the running environment of Comparative Example 3 (the cleaning cycle is judged by the pressure difference on both sides of the membrane exceeding 20%); it is explained that the nanofiltration membrane is more prone to blockage when the pH is reduced by about 1. At the same time, a lower pH means that more propylene diamine and other raw materials need to be added when the liquid in the intermediate tank is reused to the production system, which cannot meet the production requirements of matching the appropriate pH and the corresponding appropriate concentration;

[0097] Comparative Example 4 cannot achieve the discharge standard of the filtrate without adjusting the pH, and at least one nanofiltration membrane needs to be additionally added to achieve the purpose of reaching the discharge standard of the filtrate.

[0098] Through analysis, we speculate that the selection of the nanofiltration membrane, the selection of the pH value of the intermediate tank and the setting of the concentration ratio are the key factors to determine the performance of the application. A certain degree of neutralization can ensure that the liquid in the intermediate tank can be reused to the production system, the clear liquid discharge meets the standard, the pre-neutralization pH of the ammonia-nitrogen water is controlled, the propylene diamine is cationized, based on the principle of charge adsorption, the cationized propylene diamine will accumulate on the surface of the nanofiltration membrane, and a layer of adsorption layer is formed on the surface of the nanofiltration membrane, which can block the passage of macromolecular organic matter and avoid the filter hole from being blocked too fast. At the same time, after the amine groups at both ends of the propylene diamine are cationized, the molecular diameter can be increased, and too much propylene diamine can be prevented from being brought into the clear liquid.

[0099] In summary, the selection of the nanofiltration membrane, the concentration ratio and the pH of the intermediate tank are the core factors affecting the realization of the purpose of the application.

[0100] The applicant declares that the process method of the application is illustrated by the above-mentioned embodiments, but the application is not limited to the above-mentioned process steps, and it does not mean that the application must rely on the above-mentioned process steps to be implemented. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that any improvement on the application, equivalent replacement of the raw materials selected by the application, addition of auxiliary ingredients, selection of specific methods, etc. fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the application.
