Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental protection technology, specifically to a method for the cascade separation and recovery of halogens in combustion exhaust gas. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) offer advantages such as rich colors, small size, light weight, and fast response time, and are currently widely used in electronic display devices such as color televisions. As these devices exceed their lifespan, a large number of discarded LCDs are generated. The liquid crystal material in these discarded LCDs is both hazardous and resource-rich. On the one hand, improper recycling methods can pollute the atmosphere and soil; on the other hand, the organic matter, glass, and metal materials in the liquid crystal material can be ultimately utilized through processing. Currently, discarded LCDs are mainly disassembled manually, separating them into several components such as the LCD panel, fluorescent tubes, metal frames, and waste plastics. Discarded LCD panels need to be sorted and recycled first, and then valuable materials are processed. The liquid crystal material, polarizer, and glass in the discarded LCD panels are separated by mechanical grinding. After mechanical grinding, the liquid crystal material, in powder form, is transported to a pyrolysis furnace for pyrolysis. Pyrolysis, as a commonly used method for treating organic solid waste, can reduce the amount of organic matter in discarded liquid crystals and convert large organic molecules into smaller chemical products, thus realizing their resource utilization. However, because liquid crystal materials contain halogens, halogen-containing pyrolysis oil and gas are generated during the pyrolysis process, posing a threat to the environment. In-situ combustion can effectively remove halogen-containing organic matter from waste liquid crystal pyrolysis oil and gas, but the halogen-containing acidic gases in the combustion exhaust are highly corrosive and irritating, requiring further removal and absorption.

[0003] The problem of halogen-containing acidic gases such as hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen bromide, and hydrogen chloride in the exhaust gas produced after the in-situ combustion of liquid crystal material pyrolysis oil and gas is currently lacking a mature and feasible treatment and recovery technology that can achieve the cascade separation of halogens and the resource utilization of halogens after the exhaust gas is generated.

[0004] Therefore, this invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the deficiencies of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for the graded separation and recovery of halogens in combustion exhaust gas.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for the graded separation and recovery of halogens in combustion exhaust gas, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. The combustion exhaust gas is introduced into a spray tower, and a spray liquid containing alkaline earth metal ions is introduced into the spray tower. The combustion exhaust gas is sprayed in the spray tower using the spray liquid containing alkaline earth metal ions. The solution obtained after spraying is filtered to separate alkaline earth metal fluoride precipitate and exhaust gas absorption liquid. The combustion exhaust gas contains hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide.

[0009] S2. The tail gas absorption liquid obtained in step S1 is fed into an electrochemical treatment cell for electrochemical treatment to obtain reaction effluent.

[0010] S3. The reaction effluent obtained in step S2 is subjected to membrane separation treatment using a nanofiltration membrane to obtain a bromate solution and a chlorine-containing solution.

[0011] It is understood that the halogen cascade separation and recovery method in combustion exhaust gas described in this invention may further include the following steps:

[0012] Alkaline earth metal fluoride precipitates are collected from the spray tower in step S1 and dried to obtain alkaline earth metal fluoride products.

[0013] The chlorine-containing solution obtained in step S3 is evaporated and concentrated to obtain a chloride crystal product.

[0014] The bromate solution obtained in step S3 is concentrated, enriched, and recovered to obtain the bromate product.

[0015] In theory, the drying and recovery of alkaline earth metal fluoride products can be carried out after step S1, before or after steps S2 and S3, or simultaneously with steps S2 and S3. The steps for recovering chloride crystals and bromate products can be carried out after step S3, and the order of the two steps is not required.

[0016] Waste liquid crystal materials possess both resource value and hazardous properties. Halogens in the in-situ combustion exhaust gas of waste liquid crystal pyrolysis oil and gas mainly exist in the form of acidic gases, such as hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen bromide. The tiered separation and recovery method for halogens in combustion exhaust gas provided by this invention is suitable for recovering and separating halogens from the in-situ combustion exhaust gas of waste liquid crystal pyrolysis oil and gas. Specifically, this invention achieves reduced emissions and reuse of halogens in combustion exhaust gas through an integrated process of "spraying + electrochemical treatment + membrane separation," simplifying the waste gas treatment process and reducing waste gas treatment costs. The recovered alkaline earth metal fluorides, bromates, and chlorides can be directly used in metallurgy, chemical industry, and other fields. In summary, the method described in this invention innovatively transforms the pollution attribute of halogens into a resource attribute by separating and recovering halogens from exhaust gas.

[0017] The implementation principle of this invention, which combines "spraying + electrochemical treatment + membrane separation", is as follows:

[0018] In step S1 of this invention, a spray liquid containing alkaline earth metal ions is used to spray the combustion exhaust gas introduced into the spray tower. During the spray treatment, the spray liquid can fully absorb components such as hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and bromine chloride in the combustion exhaust gas. Calcium ions in the spray liquid react with hydrogen fluoride to generate alkaline earth metal fluoride precipitates. The alkaline earth metal fluoride precipitates and the exhaust gas absorption liquid containing chloride ions and bromide ions are separated by filtration.

[0019] In step S2 of this invention, the exhaust gas absorbent after spraying and filtration is transported to an electrochemical treatment tank for electrochemical treatment, thereby removing bromide ions (Br₂) with an ionic radius of 1.96 Å from the exhaust gas absorbent. - ) is oxidized to bromate ions (BrO3) with an ionic radius of 3.5 Å. - ), while chloride ions (Cl) in the exhaust gas absorbent - The chemical properties of the two elements are stable and they do not undergo oxidation reactions, thus achieving a difference in ionic radii. This allows subsequent steps to utilize nanofiltration membranes to filter out chloride ions (Cl-) from the reacted water. - Chlorides containing bromate ions (BrO3) - The separation of bromate from bromine ions in liquids solves the problem of bromide ions (Br) in liquids. - ) and chloride ions (Cl - The problem of difficulty in separation due to similar ionic radii.

[0020] Preferably, in step S1, the flow rate ratio of the combustion exhaust gas to the spray liquid containing alkaline earth metal ions is (5~12):1.

[0021] For example, in step S1, the flow ratio of the combustion exhaust gas to the spray liquid containing alkaline earth metal ions can be 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, or any range of two such flow ratios.

[0022] Preferably, in step S1, the spray solution containing alkaline earth metal ions includes a first spray solution and a second spray solution, wherein the pH value of the first spray solution is 8-10 and the pH value of the second spray solution is 7-8; the flow rate ratio of the first spray solution and the second spray solution is (0.5-2):1.

[0023] The first spray solution is composed of a soluble alkaline earth metal salt, a pH adjuster, and water. The soluble alkaline earth metal salt includes at least one of calcium chloride, barium chloride, strontium chloride, and magnesium chloride. The pH adjuster includes at least one of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. The mass concentration of the soluble alkaline earth metal salt in the first spray solution is 13~18 mg / L. The solute in the second spray solution includes at least one of calcium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate.

[0024] For example, in step S1, the pH value of the first spray liquid can be 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, or any two of these values; the pH value of the second spray liquid can be 7, 7.3, 7.5, 7.7, 8, or any two of these values; and the flow rate ratio of the first spray liquid to the second spray liquid is 0.5:1, 0.6:1, 0.7:1, 0.8:1, 0.85:1, 0.9:1, 0.95:1, 1:1, 1.2:1, 1.5:1, 1.8:1, 2:1, or any two of these values.

[0025] It is understood that in step S1, the first spray liquid and the second spray liquid can be combined and then fed into the spray tower, or the first spray liquid and the second spray liquid can be fed into the spray tower separately and simultaneously.

[0026] More preferably, in step S1, the soluble alkaline earth metal salt is calcium chloride.

[0027] The first spray solution is composed of a soluble alkaline earth metal salt, a pH adjuster, and water. The soluble alkaline earth metal salt includes at least one of calcium chloride, barium chloride, strontium chloride, and magnesium chloride. The pH adjuster includes at least one of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. The mass concentration of the soluble alkaline earth metal salt in the first spray solution is 13~18 mg / L. The solute in the second spray solution includes at least one of calcium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate.

[0028] The inventors discovered that in step S1, adjusting the pH of the first spray liquid to 8.5-9.5, adjusting the pH of the second spray liquid to 7.3-7.7, setting the flow rate ratio of the first and second spray liquids to (0.8-1):1, and adjusting the flow rate ratio of the combustion exhaust gas to the spray liquid containing alkaline earth metal ions to (7-9):1 can promote the spray liquid to fully absorb fluorides, chlorides, and bromides in the combustion exhaust gas. At the same time, it allows the calcium ions in the spray liquid containing alkaline earth metal ions to preferentially react with fluorides to form alkaline earth metal fluoride precipitates, thereby improving the recovery rate of fluorine, chlorine, and bromine in the combustion exhaust gas.

[0029] Preferably, step S2 specifically includes:

[0030] The tail gas absorption liquid obtained in step S1 is fed into an electrochemical treatment tank for staged electrochemical treatment to obtain reaction effluent.

[0031] More preferably, the phased electrochemical treatment is specifically divided into two stages:

[0032] First electrochemical treatment stage: current density 15~30A / m 2The voltage is 1~3V, the ratio between the air flow rate and the volume of liquid in the electrochemical treatment cell is 0.5~5L / (L·min), and the reaction time is 10~30min;

[0033] Second electrochemical treatment stage: current density of 500~1500 A / m 2 The voltage is 2~5V, the ratio between the air flow rate and the liquid volume in the electrochemical treatment cell is 0.5~5L / (L·min), and the reaction time is 30~90min.

[0034] For example, in the first electrochemical treatment stage, the current density could be 15 A / m. 2 20A / m 2 22A / m 2 24A / m 2 25A / m 2 27A / m 2 30A / m 2 Or a range of any two sets of values; the voltage can be 1V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2V, 2.3V, 2.5V, 3V or a range of any two sets of values; the ratio between the flow rate of the introduced air and the volume of the liquid in the electrochemical treatment cell can be 0.5L / (L·min), 1L / (L·min), 1.5L / (L·min), 2L / (L·min), 2.5L / (L·min), 3L / (L·min) or a range of any two sets of values; the reaction time can be 10min, 15min, 20min, 25min, 30min or a range of any two sets of values.

[0035] In the second electrochemical treatment stage, the current density can be 500 A / m. 2 600A / m 2 700A / m 2 800A / m 2 900A / m 2 1000A / m 2 1100A / m 2 1200A / m 2 1300A / m 2 1400A / m 2 1500A / m 2Or a range of any two sets of values; the voltage can be 2V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.5V, 4V, 4.5V, 5V or a range of any two sets of values; the ratio between the flow rate of the introduced air and the volume of the liquid in the electrochemical treatment cell can be 0.5L / (L·min), 1L / (L·min), 1.5L / (L·min), 2L / (L·min), 2.5L / (L·min), 3L / (L·min) or a range of any two sets of values; the reaction time can be 30min, 40min, 50min, 60min, 70min, 80min, 90min or a range of any two sets of values.

[0036] In step S2 of this invention, the tail gas absorbent obtained in step S1 is input into an electrochemical treatment tank for staged electrochemical treatment. In the first electrochemical treatment stage, this invention effectively promotes electrocoagulation and / or electroflotation of the tail gas absorbent by adjusting the current density and voltage to an appropriately low range. This causes suspended impurities such as charged colloidal particles in the tail gas absorbent to become unstable and aggregate to form flocs. At the same time, aeration causes these flocs to float to the surface of the liquid to form scum. Scraping off the scum completes the initial purification of the tail gas absorbent.

[0037] In the second electrochemical treatment stage: This invention enhances the electrode polarization effect by increasing the current density and voltage to suitable ranges, thereby promoting the following electrolytic oxidation reaction: Br⁻ + 3H₂O → BrO₃⁻ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻, oxidizing Br⁻ to BrO₃⁻; furthermore, due to the oxidation of Br⁻, the generated bromate ions (BrO₃)... - The significant difference in ionic radii between Cl⁻ and Cl⁻ facilitates subsequent membrane separation to remove chloride ions (Cl⁻) from the water. - Chlorides containing bromate ions (BrO3) - The bromate of ) is separated.

[0038] This invention employs a phased electrochemical treatment process. First, colloidal impurities are removed, thus eliminating a large amount of suspended matter and some organic matter in advance, reducing the burden on subsequent membrane separation processes. Then, through an electrolytic oxidation reaction, the ionic radii of chlorine and bromine are differentiated, enabling subsequent separation processes to proceed more efficiently and smoothly.

[0039] The inventors discovered through research that the optimal reaction conditions for the first electrochemical treatment stage are: a current density of 20~25 A / m. 2The voltage is 1.5~2.5V, the ratio of the air flow rate to the liquid volume in the electrochemical treatment cell is 1~3L / (L·min), and the reaction time is 15~25min; the preferred conditions for the second electrochemical treatment stage are: current density of 800~1200A / m 2 The voltage is 2.5~3.5V, the ratio of the air flow rate to the liquid volume in the electrochemical treatment tank is 1~3L / (L·min), and the reaction time is 50~70min. When the reaction conditions of the first electrolytic oxidation stage and the second electrolytic oxidation stage are respectively within the above-mentioned preferred ranges, it is possible to more effectively remove colloidal and other suspended impurities in the tail gas absorbent and increase the bromide ion concentration (Br₂). - ) is converted into bromate ions (BrO3) - This improves the conversion rate of bromine and chlorine, thereby enhancing the separation effect of bromine and increasing the purity of bromate solution and chlorine-containing solution.

[0107] Effect test

[0108] The waste liquid crystal pyrolysis oil and gas from Jiangsu Ningda Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. was treated using the methods described in the above embodiments and comparative examples. The amount of combustion gas treated was the same in each embodiment and comparative example, and the fluorine content w1 in the waste liquid crystal pyrolysis oil and gas in-situ combustion tail gas was 12906.36 mg / m³. 3 The bromine content w2 is 278.50 mg / m³. 3 The chlorine content w3 is 104.42 mg / m³. 3 .

[0109] The recovery rates of fluorine, chlorine, and bromine were tested using the following methods:

[0110] (1) Fluorine recovery rate: Weigh the mass m1 (in mg) of the calcium fluoride product obtained in step S4, and calculate the fluorine recovery rate according to the following formula: Fluorine recovery rate (%) = [(m1 × 2 × M] F [ / M1) / (w1×V0)]×100%, where M1 is the relative molecular mass of calcium fluoride, M F is the relative atomic mass of fluorine.

[0111] (2) Bromine recovery rate: The volume of the bromate solution obtained in step S3 is measured and recorded as V1 (in L). The bromate is reduced to bromide ions using thiosulfate. The mass concentration of bromine in the bromate solution obtained in step S3 is detected by ion chromatography and the result is recorded as ρ1 (in g / L). The bromine recovery rate (%) is calculated according to the following formula: [(ρ1×V1) / (w2×V0)]×100%.

[0112] (3) Chlorine recovery rate: The volume of the chlorine-containing solution obtained in step S3 is measured and recorded as V2 (in L). The mass concentration of chlorine in the obtained chlorine-containing solution is detected by the existing silver nitrate spectrophotometric method, and the detection result is recorded as ρ1 (in g / L).

[0113] The chlorine recovery rate is calculated using the following formula: Chlorine recovery rate (%) = [(ρ2×V2) / (w3×V0)]×100%.

[0114] The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0115] Table 3

[0116]

[0117] Compared with Examples 6-7, the recovery rates of chlorine and bromine in Examples 1-3 are higher. This indicates that by controlling the process parameters of the first and second electrochemical treatment stages within appropriate ranges, the present invention can promote electrocoagulation and electroflotation, avoid excessive residual colloids and other impurities in the reacted water that would affect the passage of chloride ions through the nanofiltration membrane, and also promote the generation of bromate ions, thereby improving the separation effect of chlorine and bromine, increasing the recovery rate of chlorine and bromine, and improving the purity of chloride and bromate products in subsequent steps.

[0118] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 8-12, by adjusting the flow rate ratio of the first spray liquid and the second spray liquid to a suitable range, the present invention can reduce the escape of components such as hydrogen halides in the spray treatment, promote the formation of calcium fluoride, and thus improve the recovery rate of each halogen.

[0119] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 13-15, when the ratio of the flow rate of the combustion exhaust gas to the flow rate of the gas entering the spray tower is (7-9):1, the recovery rate of each halogen is high, and the amount of spray liquid consumed is small, resulting in lower cost.

[0120] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 16-19, selecting a nanofiltration membrane with a suitable pore size can effectively retain bromate ions while ensuring that chloride ions pass smoothly through the nanofiltration membrane, thereby comprehensively improving the recovery rate of chlorine and bromine and increasing the purity of chloride and bromate products in subsequent steps.

[0121] As can be seen from Examples 1, 20-22 and Comparative Example 6, the present invention performs membrane separation in ultrasound at a suitable frequency, which ensures the cleanliness of the nanofiltration membrane while avoiding membrane damage. This ensures the nanofiltration membrane retains bromate ions while accelerating the diffusion and mass transfer of chloride ions, thereby increasing the recovery rate of chlorine and bromine, improving the separation efficiency of chloride and bromate ions, and thus improving the purity of chloride and bromate products in subsequent steps.

[0122] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 did not undergo staged electrochemical treatment, which significantly reduced the bromine recovery rate. This may be because the bromide ions were not fully oxidized under lower potential conditions, resulting in a poorer chlorine-bromine separation effect.

[0123] Compared with Example 1, the recovery rates of chlorine and bromine in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 were significantly reduced. This may be because the electrochemical treatment was carried out directly under higher potential conditions, which caused other impurities (such as organic matter) in the tail gas absorbent to be electrolytically oxidized, affecting the oxidation efficiency of bromide ions and the flocculation effect of other impurities in the tail gas absorbent. This may have changed the properties of the flocs, resulting in more residual flocs and / or colloidal particles in the reaction water, which in turn affected the subsequent membrane separation effect, leading to a significant decrease in the recovery rates of chlorine and bromine.

[0124] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Examples 4 and 5 used a different spraying liquid to spray the combustion exhaust gas, which resulted in insufficient absorption of halogen gases in the exhaust gas, leading to a significant decrease in the halogen recovery rate.

[0125] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
