[0002] In the thermal power generation sector, the limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization process is widely used due to its high efficiency in removing sulfur dioxide. However, the desulfurization wastewater produced by this process is complex, containing high concentrations of suspended solids, soluble salts, heavy metal ions, and other pollutants. As environmental standards continue to rise, the direct discharge of this wastewater without proper treatment poses a serious threat to the ecological environment. Therefore, the effective treatment and resource utilization of desulfurization wastewater has become a key issue in the environmental management of thermal power companies.
[0003] Currently, traditional desulfurization wastewater treatment technologies face numerous challenges in practical application. While the three-tank process (neutralization-sedimentation-flocculation) can remove some pollutants, its effectiveness in removing dissolved salts is limited. Among evaporation technologies, MVR (Mortar-Vehicle-Removal) consumes high energy and is uneconomical, making it difficult to scale up. Regarding solid waste disposal, the moisture content of sludge after conventional centrifugal dewatering exceeds 60%, increasing transportation and handling costs while also posing the risk of secondary contamination. These technical bottlenecks make it difficult for existing treatment processes to simultaneously meet the requirements of efficient purification, cost-effective operation, and resource recovery, hindering the achievement of zero desulfurization wastewater discharge. To address this, we have proposed a desulfurization wastewater treatment method and system. Summary of the Invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0016] Figure 1 is a flow chart of the method of the present invention; Figure 2This is a system framework diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.
[0018] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a desulfurization wastewater treatment method includes:
[0019] First, desulfurization wastewater undergoes a three-tank treatment process, sequentially introducing a neutralization tank, a settling tank, and a flocculation tank. In the neutralization tank, Ca(OH)2 is added to adjust the wastewater's pH. This process is achieved by thoroughly mixing the wastewater at 120 to 150 rpm using a turbine agitator driven by a variable-frequency motor. The reaction time is ensured to be at least 15 minutes, ultimately stabilizing the wastewater's pH within a range of 9.5 plus or minus 0.2. Ca(OH)2 is added in a staged manner, initially adding 70% to 80% of the total amount to raise the pH to between 8.5 and 9.0. After a 10-minute reaction, the remaining amount is added to reach the target pH. This staged approach prioritizes the precipitation of fluoride ions to form CaF2 crystal nuclei, followed by the co-precipitation of heavy metal hydroxides such as zinc and lead ions. In the settling tank, organic sulfur is added to further remove residual heavy metal ions. In the flocculation tank, polyacrylamide (PAM) is added to enhance floc formation and settling. After settling and separation, the supernatant is collected and discharged.
[0020] The supernatant then enters the wastewater concentration stage, where it is introduced into a disc-tube reverse osmosis unit for concentration. This unit operates at an operating pressure of 5 to 8 MPa. The produced water is reused in the desulfurization process water system, while the concentrated water enters subsequent treatment units. The sludge generated during the triple-tank treatment process is conveyed to a plate and frame filter press for dehydration. The filter plates of the filter press are embedded with thermal oil circulation lines, and the temperature is precisely maintained at 60°C plus or minus 2°C by a proportional-integral-differential (PID) temperature control valve. The feed system utilizes a plunger pump linked to a diaphragm pressure sensor. When the filtration resistance rises to 1.0 MPa, the system automatically initiates a backflush to maintain efficiency. The filter cloth utilizes a monofilament, double-layer design with an upper layer pore size of 50 microns and a lower layer pore size of 100 microns. Periodic citric acid cleaning is performed to restore filtration flux at a citric acid concentration of 2% to 3% and a temperature of 40°C. The dehydrated sludge cake is transferred to a sealed drying bin via a belt conveyor.
[0021] The sludge cake undergoes low-temperature flue gas flash drying in the drying bin, using countercurrent contact with flue gas from the air preheater at a temperature of 120 to 150 degrees Celsius for at least 10 minutes, reducing the sludge moisture content from 45% to no more than 15%. A swirl air distribution device is installed at the top of the drying tower to ensure uniform gas distribution, and a scraper-type slag discharger is installed at the bottom for continuous slag discharge. Flue gas inlet temperature fluctuations are strictly controlled to no more than ±5 degrees Celsius, and the outlet temperature is maintained above 70 degrees Celsius to prevent acid gas condensation. The calorific value of the dried sludge exceeds 2500 kcal / kg and can be added to coal-fired boilers for incineration at a ratio of 3% of the dry mass.
[0022] The concentrated brine enters the flue for spray evaporation. The brine is first premixed with fly ash in a turbulent mixer. The mixer cylinder is equipped with stainless steel spiral guide vanes with a helix angle of 30 to 45 degrees and a rotation speed maintained at 200 to 300 rpm. A fly ash metering feeder is installed at the mixer inlet, adding fly ash at a mass ratio of 8% to 12% of the brine volume, for a mixing time of at least 5 minutes. The spiral guide vanes are spray-coated with a wear-resistant aluminum oxide-titanium dioxide coating with a thickness of 200 to 300 microns, and the guide gap is designed to be 3 to 5 mm. This promotes the reaction of sulfate ions in the brine with calcium oxide in the fly ash to form a calcium sulfate coating, which covers the surface of the sodium sulfate crystals and effectively reduces the flue fouling rate by 40% to 60%. An online conductivity meter is installed at the mixer outlet for monitoring. If the conductivity changes by more than 15%, the system automatically triggers a cleaning procedure. The premixed slurry is sprayed into the flue following the air preheater via a dual-fluid rotary mechanical atomizer, controlling the volume ratio of compressed air to concentrated water to 1:3 to 1:5, producing atomized droplets of 30 to 50 microns. A flue gas deflector group is installed at the front of the spray zone to guide the airflow, and a baffle wall is installed at the rear to extend the turbulent flow path, ensuring that the droplets remain in the flue gas temperature range of 120 to 150 degrees Celsius for at least 2 seconds, achieving complete evaporation. The atomizer uses a silicon carbide ceramic nozzle core to improve corrosion and wear resistance, and an online pressure sensor monitors and adjusts the compressed air flow in real time to maintain a stable atomization effect.
[0023] The residual evaporation residue is collected downstream of the flue by a combined system consisting of a high-efficiency cyclone separator and a bag filter, achieving a collection efficiency exceeding 99.9%. The high-efficiency cyclone separator utilizes a multi-tube parallel structure, with a single tube diameter of 300 mm and an inlet flow rate controlled at 18 to 22 meters per second. The bag filter utilizes polytetrafluoroethylene-coated filter bags with a pore size no larger than 1 micron. The collected dry ash is transported to the ash storage silo via a pneumatic ash conveying system. This system utilizes variable-pressure conveying, with the inner walls of the pipe lined with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) panels. The flow rate is controlled at 12 to 15 meters per second, and the conveying pressure ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 MPa. In the ash storage silo, the dry ash enters the resource utilization stage. A fluidizing air system with a pressure of 0.05 to 0.08 MPa is installed at the bottom of the silo, operating in conjunction with a twin-shaft mixer. Process water is introduced into the mixer via ultrasonic atomizers, along with humic acid at a concentration equivalent to 0.5% to 1.0% of the dry ash mass. The twin-shaft mixer operates at a speed of 15 to 20 revolutions per minute. The wetted ash is precisely metered and output via a belt scale, with a moisture content control accuracy of ±0.5%. The wetted ash can be used as a building material or soil conditioner. When used as a cement admixture, the addition amount should not exceed 8% of the dry cement mass. When used as a raw material for brickmaking, the ash is mixed and sintered in a ratio of 1:3 to 1:4 by mass to clay, and the resulting bricks must have a compressive strength of no less than 15 MPa. When used as a soil conditioner, the heavy metal content must meet the requirements of no more than 30 mg / kg of arsenic, no more than 3 mg / kg of cadmium, no more than 0.1 mg / kg of mercury, and the total amount of water-soluble salts must be less than 1.5%.
[0024] The entire treatment system also includes a disc-tube reverse osmosis unit, whose membrane components utilize a contamination-resistant polyamide composite membrane, arranged in a two-stage design. The first stage operates at a pressure of 5 to 6 MPa, achieving a concentration ratio of 3 to 4 times; the second stage, operating at a pressure of 7 to 8 MPa, achieves a concentration ratio of at least 5 times. The membrane system is equipped with a cross-flow flushing device and an online turbidity meter for monitoring. If the total dissolved solids (TDS) in the produced water exceeds 500 mg / L or the transmembrane pressure differential increases by more than 15%, the system automatically initiates an alkaline chemical cleaning procedure. The cleaning cycle is designed to last longer than 72 hours, using an alkaline solution with a pH between 10 and 11 and containing 0.1% to 0.2% disodium EDTA as an additive.
[0025] refer to Figure 2 As shown, a desulfurization wastewater treatment system includes: Triple tank optimization unit: a neutralization tank, a sedimentation tank, a flocculation tank and a solid-liquid separation device connected in sequence. The neutralization tank is provided with a Ca(OH)2 dosing device, the sedimentation tank is provided with an organic sulfur TMT-15 dosing device, and the flocculation tank is provided with a PAM dosing device; Wastewater concentration unit: a disc-tube reverse osmosis (DTRO) device connected to a flocculation tank, with an operating pressure of 5–8 MPa and a concentration ratio of ≥5 times; the produced water end is connected to the desulfurization process water system, and the concentrated water end is connected to the flue spray evaporation unit; Plate and frame filter press strengthening unit: a plate and frame filter press connected to the neutralization tank and sedimentation tank; Flue spray evaporation unit: including the flue after the air preheater, atomizing nozzle and turbulent mixer. The flue length must be ≥16m, the atomizing nozzle atomizes particles with a diameter of 30-50μm, and the turbulent mixer is located upstream of the spraying area. Dry ash collection and resource recovery unit: includes a high-efficiency cyclone separator and bag dust collector composite system, a pneumatic ash conveying system, and a twin-shaft mixer. The composite system has a collection efficiency of >99.9%, and the pneumatic ash conveying system has a conveying pressure of 0.3–0.5 MPa.
[0026] It achieves refined process control in pollutant removal. The phased Ca(OH)2 dosing strategy employed in the triple-tank treatment prioritizes the precipitation and crystallization of fluoride by precisely controlling pH and reaction timing, effectively promoting the coordinated precipitation and removal of multiple heavy metal ions, and significantly improving the removal efficiency and selectivity of key pollutants. The variable frequency stirring system in the neutralization tank ensures thorough and uniform mixing of the reagent and wastewater, creating a stable reaction environment and laying a good foundation for subsequent treatment.
[0027] This technology achieves efficient concentration and reduction of wastewater and solid waste. The disc-tube reverse osmosis (DTRO) unit, with its high operating pressure and anti-fouling design, deeply concentrates the pretreated supernatant, significantly reducing the volume of brine requiring final disposal. The resulting high-quality product water can be directly reused in the desulfurization process, significantly reducing fresh process water consumption. For the resulting sludge, a plate and frame filter press with built-in temperature control and optimized filter cloth design improves dehydration efficiency. Subsequent flash drying utilizes waste heat from low-temperature flue gas, fully utilizing low-grade thermal energy while reducing the sludge moisture content to an extremely low level, significantly reducing sludge volume and the burden of subsequent disposal.
[0028] This technology offers unique anti-scaling and resource-recycling capabilities in the zero-discharge process for concentrated water. The key innovation is the premixing of concentrated water and fly ash in a specialized turbulent mixer. By enhancing the contact reaction, sulfates and calcium components in the fly ash form a stable calcium sulfate coating, effectively suppressing the sodium sulfate scaling common in subsequent flue evaporation of high-salinity concentrated water, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the evaporation system. Precise control of the atomizing nozzle and optimized flue flow field design ensure sufficient retention time of the tiny droplets within the desired temperature range, enabling efficient concentrated water evaporation.
[0029] This technology establishes a closed-loop chain for waste resource utilization. Dried sludge, due to its low moisture content and increased calorific value, can be used as an auxiliary fuel for combustion, achieving energy recovery from solid waste. The fly ash remaining after evaporation is almost completely captured by a highly efficient collection system (high-efficiency cyclones and coated bag filters). The addition of a specific additive (humic acid) during the subsequent wet mixing process not only improves the ash's physical properties but also ensures that it meets the stringent quality standards (such as heavy metal limits, strength requirements, and salt control) for various uses, such as cement admixtures, brickmaking raw materials, or soil conditioners. This achieves high-value, diversified resource utilization of ash.
[0030] The entire system features a compact design, incorporating automated monitoring and feedback mechanisms into each unit operation (such as membrane cleaning, filter press backflushing, mixer cleaning, and ash-mixing control), enhancing operational stability and reliability. By deeply integrating wastewater treatment, sludge disposal, concentrated water evaporation, and ash utilization, this technology provides a highly efficient, stable, and resource-recovery-rich comprehensive treatment approach for desulfurization wastewater.
