[0030] Embodiment 1
[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 For the first embodiment of the present application, a desulfurization wastewater heat evaporation crystallization treatment system is provided, which comprises a pretreatment unit 100, and the desulfurization wastewater is treated by hardness removal through a sodium carbonate-sodium hydroxide double-alkali softening device.
[0032] The pretreatment unit 100 comprises a desulfurization wastewater input 101 and a wastewater buffer pool 102, for example, the hardness of the desulfurization wastewater can be reduced to ≤50 mg / L through the sodium carbonate-sodium hydroxide double-alkali softening device, at the same time, the wastewater buffer pool 102 also plays a role in collecting and buffering the wastewater, avoiding the wastewater directly rushing into the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200, and the wastewater buffer pool 102 can also be more convenient to adjust the water quantity transported into the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200 by setting a wastewater delivery pump.
[0033] The multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200 is used for producing concentrated liquid from the desulfurization wastewater, and the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200 comprises a plurality of negative pressure flash evaporation modules 201 connected in series, the inside of each negative pressure flash evaporation module 201 is driven by a forced circulation pump to circulate and heat the wastewater, the secondary steam generated by the negative pressure flash evaporation module 201 of the front effect is used as the heat source of the negative pressure flash evaporation module 201 of the rear effect, the steam input 103 of the low-pressure auxiliary steam of the unit is used as the heat source, the desulfurization wastewater is concentrated through the plurality of negative pressure flash evaporation modules 201 connected in series, in the concentration process, the steam is continuously transported to the next effect as the heat source of the next effect, wherein the negative pressure of each negative pressure flash evaporation module 201 is derived from the tail-end vacuum pump arranged at the last effect, the tail-end vacuum pump is communicated with each heater 201b, for discharging non-condensable gas and maintaining micro-negative pressure, at the same time, the condensed water generated by the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200 is finally collected in the water collecting pool 205, the condensed water after softening treatment can be used as cooling water or preheating water and input into the mechanical steam compression crystallization unit 300, according to the demand, the heat exchanger 206 can be used for heat exchange with the external cooling water, heat exchange with the concentrated liquid, preheating or cooling the steam, and the actual demand can be flexibly adjusted.
[0034] The mechanical vapor compression crystallization unit 300 is used to solidify the concentrated liquid into crystalline salt, and the mechanical vapor compression crystallization unit 300 is composed of an evaporator 302, a vapor compressor 303, a crystallizer 304 and a crystal slurry treatment module 305. The vapor compressor 303 pressurizes and heats the secondary steam and then returns it to the evaporator 302 for secondary use.
[0035] The final steam of the negative pressure flash evaporation module 201 is input into the mechanical vapor compression crystallization unit 300 as initial steam. The crystal slurry treatment module 305 includes a thickener 305a, a centrifuge 305b and a mother liquor tank 305c connected in sequence. The thickener 305a is used to separate the crystal grains in the crystal slurry from the supernatant. The centrifuge 305b is used to dehydrate the crystal grains. The mother liquor tank 305c collects the supernatant and the water removed by the centrifuge 305b.
[0036] The mechanical vapor compression crystallization unit 300 further includes a preheater 301 arranged in front of the evaporator 302, which is used to preheat the concentrated liquid. A gas-liquid separator is arranged between the crystallizer 304 and the vapor compressor 303, which is used to separate the steam and the crystal slurry. The concentrated liquid and the saturated liquid are boiled in the crystallizer 304 to generate secondary steam, which is input into the vapor compressor 303. The saturated liquid generated in the crystallizer 304 is mixed with the new concentrated liquid by a circulating pump 306 and then reenters the evaporator 302 for heating. The crystal slurry is transported to the thickener 305a through the bottom discharge port.
[0037] During use, the untreated desulfurization wastewater is injected into the wastewater buffer tank 102 through the desulfurization wastewater input 101. The wastewater buffer tank 102 is used to avoid the desulfurization wastewater being directly sent into the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200. A stirring device can be arranged in the wastewater buffer tank 102 to pretreat the desulfurization wastewater in different ways to prevent scaling or blockage in the pipeline. The desulfurization wastewater is transferred in the wastewater buffer tank 102 and treated to remove hardness. Then, the desulfurization wastewater is pumped into the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200 by a wastewater delivery pump. In the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200, the desulfurization wastewater is continuously flashed. Part of the water in the desulfurization wastewater is evaporated into steam. The final steam is output from the last negative pressure flash evaporation module 201 to the mechanical vapor compression crystallization unit 300 as initial steam. The remaining water and impurities become concentrated liquid, which is discharged from the concentrated liquid output 202 of the last negative pressure flash evaporation module 201 and then enters the mechanical vapor compression crystallization unit 300 for further treatment. The concentrated liquid first enters the concentrated liquid tank 301a and then is input into the preheater 301 through the feed pump 301b for preheating. The preheater 301 can collect the steam finally discharged from the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200 as long as it meets the use conditions of the preheater 301.
[0038] The preheater 301 preheats the concentrated solution to 60-80°C, and then the heated concentrated solution is input into the evaporator 302, where the concentrated solution is heated again by using hot steam, and the heated concentrated solution is sent into the crystallizer 304, where it is boiled and evaporated. The secondary steam generated in the evaporation process is transported to the steam compressor 303 after being separated by a gas-liquid separator. The outlet of the crystallizer 304 is connected to the gas-liquid separator, and the separated secondary steam is pressurized by the steam compressor 303 and reused.
[0039] The pressure and temperature in the steam compressor 303 are increased to become saturated steam, which is returned to the evaporator 302 as a heat source. The crystals precipitated after evaporation settle at the bottom of the crystallizer 304 to become crystal slurry, and the remaining saturated liquid enters the circulating pipe from the middle of the crystallizer 304 to continue to participate in evaporation. The crystal slurry enters the thickener 305a to thicken and precipitate, the supernatant in the thickener 305a overflows into the mother liquor tank 305c and is returned to the system to continue to participate in circulation, and the crystal grains at the bottom of the thickener 305a are discharged into the centrifuge 305b, which is dewatered to obtain crystalline salt.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] Reference Figures 1-2 For the second embodiment of the present application, the difference from the first embodiment is that the crystallizer 304 is used to process the concentrated solution into saturated liquid and crystal slurry, and a circulating pump 306 is provided between the crystallizer 304 and the evaporator 302 to transport the saturated liquid and the concentrated solution back to the evaporator 302 for heating and circulation. The saturated liquid enters the circulating pipe from the middle of the crystallizer 304, the input end of the circulating pump 306 is communicated with the saturated liquid outlet of the crystallizer 304 through the circulating pipe, the output end of the circulating pump 306 is communicated with the liquid inlet of the evaporator 302 through the circulating pipe, and the circulating pump 306 provides the circulating power.
[0042] A gas-liquid separator is provided between the crystallizer 304 and the steam compressor 303 to separate the secondary steam and the crystal slurry, and the secondary steam is transported back to the steam compressor 303 for secondary heating and then sent into the evaporator 302 to heat the concentrated solution and the saturated liquid. The concentrated solution and the saturated liquid are boiled and evaporated in the crystallizer 304, the saturated liquid generated in the crystallizer 304 is mixed with the new concentrated solution by the circulating pump 306 and then re-enters the evaporator 302 for heating, and the crystal slurry is transported to the thickener 305a through the bottom discharge outlet.
[0043] The supernatant generated in the process of the thickener 305a processing the crystal slurry is transported to the mother liquor tank 305c, and the separated water generated in the process of the centrifuge 305b dewatering the crystal grains is also transported to the mother liquor tank 305c, and the mother liquor tank 305c sends the collected liquid back to the crystallizer 304 for recrystallization. The mother liquor tank 305c collects the moisture in the thickener 305a and the centrifuge 305b, and after collection, the liquid is sent back to the crystallizer 304 for evaporation by the mother liquor pump 305d.
[0044] The evaporator 302 is divided into a tube pass and a shell pass, the concentrated liquid enters the tube pass, and steam enters the shell pass. The evaporator 302 is provided with a condensed water discharge port at the bottom of the shell pass, for discharging the condensed water in the evaporator 302 outward, and the steam releases latent heat to condense into water and enter the condensed liquid tank 302a. The condensed liquid tank 302a sends the high-temperature condensed liquid back to the preheater 301 through the condensed liquid pump 302b, and the condensed liquid is used as a heat source to preheat the feed in the preheater 301 to meet the discharge standard or is used for production processes.
[0045] The remaining structure is the same as that of example 1.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] With reference to Figures 3-4 For the third embodiment of the present application, the difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the multi-effect flash concentration unit 200 is provided with two or more negative pressure flash modules 201, each of which includes a separator 201a and a heater 201b, and a forced circulation pump is arranged between the separator 201a and the heater 201b, for circulating the flash desulfurization wastewater.
[0048] The negative pressure flash module 201 at the front end is a one-effect flash module, and the negative pressure flash module 201 at the tail end is a last-effect flash module. The input end of the one-effect flash module is communicated with the pretreatment unit 100, and the output end of the last-effect flash module is communicated with the mechanical vapor compression crystallization unit 300. The pretreatment unit 100 is also provided with a low-pressure auxiliary steam input 103, which can input plant auxiliary steam at 250 DEG C.
[0049] A density meter and a discharge pump are arranged at the discharge port of each separator 201a, and the density meter and the discharge pump are electrically connected, for automatically discharging concentrated wastewater meeting the density requirement.
[0050] A feed pump is arranged at the feed port of each separator 201a, and a feed electric valve is arranged on the feed pump, for supplementing the liquid level in each separator 201a. A liquid level meter is arranged in the separator 201a, and the feed electric valve and the liquid level meter are electrically connected.
[0051] In the embodiment, three negative pressure flash modules 201 are provided as an example. During use, the desulfurization wastewater enters the first separator 201a through the wastewater delivery pump. The desulfurization wastewater in the first separator 201a is pumped to the first heater 201b tube side by the forced circulation pump, and exchanges heat with the low-pressure auxiliary steam from the unit. The heated desulfurization wastewater returns to the first separator 201a. The heated desulfurization wastewater boils in the vacuum environment of the first separator 201a, and part of the wastewater becomes steam and enters the second heater 201b shell side as the heat source of the second heater 201b. The remaining wastewater continues to circulate into the first heater 201b and exchanges heat with the steam. When the desulfurization wastewater is evaporated in the first separator 201a for multiple times to meet the standard requirements, the concentrated liquid generated by the first negative pressure flash module 201 enters the second negative pressure flash module 201, and is driven by the forced circulation pump of the second negative pressure flash module 201 to circulate and evaporate in the second separator 201a. The principles of the second, third, and last negative pressure flash modules 201 are the same.
[0052] The evaporation temperature of the first effect is about 76℃, the evaporation temperature of the second effect is about 66℃, and the evaporation temperature of the third effect is about 50℃. Through the three-effect setting, the processing water amount of the multi-effect flash concentration unit 200 is about 22m3 / h, the fresh water recovery amount is about 14m3 / h, and the concentration ratio reaches 2.75 times.
[0053] Further, the first heater 201b can also be provided with a condensate pipe to discharge the condensate condensed in the first heater 201b. After being discharged, the condensate can exchange heat with the high-temperature flue gas of the unit to generate steam again, which is mixed with the low-pressure auxiliary steam to serve as the heat source of the first heater 201b again and return to the cycle.
[0054] The multi-effect flash concentration unit 200 is also provided with a demister 203 communicating with the negative pressure flash module 201, a condenser 204 communicating with the demister 203, and a water collecting tank 205 communicating with the condenser 204 through a heat exchanger 206. The water collecting tank 205 is provided with a softening treatment device for reducing the hardness of the condensate.
[0055] The steam discharged from the first-effect separator 201a can also be provided with a demister 203 before entering the second-effect heater 201b, which also functions to collect water in the steam, and similarly, the steam discharged from the second-effect separator 201a can also be provided with a demister 203 before entering the third-effect heater 201b, and so on. Each demister 203 collects water in the steam and collects the water in the condenser 204, which is condensed into high-temperature condensed water. The high-temperature condensed water is sent to the heat exchanger 206 to exchange heat with the cooling water 207, and then sent to the water collecting tank 205, where the condensed water is softened. The treated condensed water can be used as heat exchange water for the multi-effect flash evaporation concentration unit 200 and the mechanical vapor compression crystallization unit 300, and is not prone to fouling. The total amount of cooling water 207 is about 440 m³ / h, and the temperature rise of the cooling water 207 is about 10°C (feed water temperature 32°C, return water temperature 42°C).
[0056] Further, the calcium sulfate in the desulfurization wastewater is used as a crystal seed, and the concentration is greater than 0.5%. When the desulfurization wastewater starts to evaporate, the calcium sulfate precipitated from the desulfurization wastewater is preferentially attached to the suspended crystal seed by using the characteristic that substances tend to be adsorbed on the surface of similar substances when they are crystallized, thereby avoiding deposition on the inner wall of the heating pipe and achieving the purpose of preventing fouling.
[0057] The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.
[0058] Example 4
[0059] Referring to Figures 3-4 As the fourth embodiment of the present application, the difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment is that a control unit is further provided. The concentration of the concentrated liquid is monitored in real time by the densitometer arranged at the discharge port of each separator 201a, and the electric valve is linked to realize automatic adjustment of the liquid level of the evaporator 302.
[0060] The intelligent control unit includes a PLC controller, which is used to dynamically adjust the speed of the compressor to match the change of the steam load. For example, the PLC controller takes the density as the first control parameter, and preferentially adjusts the flow of the circulating pump when the density is not up to standard. When the steam load fluctuates by more than ±5%, the compressor speed is started. A multi-point temperature sensor is arranged in the crystallizer 304 to monitor the temperature in the crystallizer 304. The valve opening degree sensor and the densitometer arranged at the crystal slurry discharge port of the crystallizer 304 are used to control the discharge of the crystal slurry in real time.
[0061] The opening and closing of each pump and valve and the flow rate are controlled in real time by the PLC controller, so as to realize automatic control of the system. For example, when the concentration of the concentrated liquid in the first separator 201a does not meet the standard, the PLC controller closes the valve at the connection between the first separator 201a and the second separator 201a, controls the forced circulation pump to circulate and flash evaporate the concentrated liquid in the first negative pressure flash evaporation module 201, until the concentration of the concentrated liquid meets the standard. At this time, the PLC controller receives the data of the density meter, confirms that the standard is met, and automatically opens the valve at the connection between the first separator 201a and the second separator 201a, so as to transport the concentrated liquid to the second separator 201a. Similarly, by using various sensors such as density meters and temperature sensors, automatic control of various valves, pumps and other equipment can be realized.
[0062] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 3.
[0063] Example 5
[0064] The embodiment also provides a desulfurization wastewater treatment method, which is used for the above-mentioned desulfurization wastewater heat evaporation crystallization treatment system and includes the following steps:
[0065] S1: performing two-stage chemical softening treatment on the desulfurization wastewater, and controlling the hardness of the desulfurization wastewater;
[0066] S2: performing multi-effect flash evaporation concentration on the pretreated desulfurization wastewater, to generate concentrated liquid;
[0067] S3: performing gradient crystallization on the concentrated liquid, to generate crystallized salt;
[0068] S4: performing resource utilization on the separated mixed salt after stabilization treatment.
[0069] Specifically, taking three-effect flash evaporation as an example.
[0070] S1.1: first-stage sodium carbonate softening, sodium carbonate solution is added to the desulfurization wastewater, the pH value is controlled to be 9.8-10.2, the pH value is the best pH range of calcium carbonate precipitation (pH < 9.8, incomplete precipitation, pH > 10.2, magnesium precipitation may be induced), the reaction time is ≥ 30 min, the dosage is 1.1 times of the molar concentration of Ca²⁺, the calcium hardness is reduced to ≤ 150 mg / L, calcium ions in the desulfurization wastewater are converted into calcium carbonate precipitate by adding sodium carbonate, the solubility product of calcium carbonate is much lower than that of calcium sulfate, calcium sulfate which is easy to form scale in the wastewater can be eliminated, hard scale in the subsequent evaporator can be prevented, calcium hardness can be efficiently removed, and thus the desulfurization wastewater is preliminarily softened.
[0071] S1.2: Secondary sodium hydroxide softening, continue to add sodium hydroxide solution until pH = 11.0-11.5, which is the optimal pH for magnesium hydroxide precipitation (pH < 11.0 has low precipitation rate, pH > 11.5 may be redissolved), reaction time ≥ 20 min, dosage is 1.1-1.3 times the molar concentration of Mg²⁺, so that the total hardness is ≤ 50 mg / L, adding sodium hydroxide to precipitate magnesium hydroxide and remove residual calcium hardness (using bicarbonate in wastewater to further precipitate residual calcium ions), magnesium hydroxide is easy to form sticky silicon-magnesium scale (combined with SiO2) in the evaporator, covering the magnesium ion concentration fluctuation + neutralizing sodium hydroxide in wastewater.
[0072] S1.3: After softening, the wastewater enters the buffer tank, the residence time is controlled for 1-2 h, and the stirring speed is 30-50 rpm.
[0073] Among them, calcium ions precipitate in the form of ceCaCO3 at pH = 9.5-10.5, while magnesium ions need pH > 10.5 to form ceMg(OH)2, if adjusted to pH = 11.0 in one step, ceCa(OH)2 will be generated (solubility 0.173 g / 100 g water), which has fine particles and is difficult to settle, resulting in high residual hardness, sodium carbonate is lower than sodium hydroxide in monovalence, and stepwise addition can reduce reagent cost, and residence and stirring in the buffer tank can make the precipitation complete, preventing unreacted reagents from entering the evaporator to cause scaling.
[0074] S2.1: One-effect flash evaporation, maintain operating pressure -0.06~-0.08 MPa, temperature 76±2℃, forced circulation flow rate ≥ 2.8 m / s, when the concentration liquid density reaches ≥ 1.076 g / cm³, transfer to two-effect.
