Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a preparation method and application of a polymeric ferric sulfate coagulant, and particularly relates to the technical field of industrial waste liquid resource utilization and sewage treatment. BACKGROUND

[0002] A large amount of strong acid waste liquid containing iron and iron-containing waste residue (more than 25 million tons) are produced in the process of chemical acid etching of cold rolled galvanized and color coated in the metal products industry, which has the characteristics of high iron and high acid content (Fe 2+ : about 50-150 g / L, HCl: about 5%-15%). If it is directly discharged without treatment, its strong acidity will seriously corrode the pipeline equipment, cause soil acidification, groundwater pollution and water eutrophication, and the heavy metal ions in the waste liquid may also be enriched through the food chain, threatening human health. The traditional treatment method (such as alkali neutralization method) not only needs to consume a large amount of alkali agent, which is costly, but also causes waste of resources, and safe disposal and resource utilization are important technical problems faced by the steel industry.

[0003] It can be resourcefully utilized based on the main components of the pickling waste liquid. For example, hydrochloric acid in the waste liquid can be recovered by diffusion dialysis, electrodialysis, negative pressure evaporation and other processes, iron red (Fe2O3) or crystalline ferrous chloride (FeCl2) can be recovered by precipitation method, but there are problems of low added value, high energy consumption and the like. In recent years, based on the recovery of hydrochloric acid from hydrochloric acid pickling waste liquid, the synthesis of iron-based flocculants (such as polymeric ferric chloride) has become a research hotspot, but the problem of poor stability of polymeric ferric chloride under high salt base needs to be solved.

[0004] By introducing sulfate (SO4 2- ) and chloride ion (Cl ⁻ ) coordination, the stability and adaptability of the polymer can be significantly improved under the condition of reducing acidity. Cl ⁻ and SO4 2- as coordination anions, combine with trivalent iron ions (Fe 3+ ) to form polymers of different structures. Cl ⁻ tends to form smaller polymers (such as dimers or oligomers), SO4 2- is a double-charged anion, and the bridging effect with Fe 3+ is strong, which easily forms a macromolecular network structure, enhances the charge neutralization and adsorption bridging capacity of the flocculant, but excessive crosslinking will reduce the solubility and dispersibility of the polymer, and too high SO4 2- ratio will cause the surface negative charge of the polymer to be too strong, resulting in electrostatic repulsion with negatively charged pollutant particles, which in turn reduces the flocculation efficiency. The ratio of the two directly affects the molecular weight and morphology of the polymer, and further affects the flocculation performance and settling speed of the product. Therefore, developing a new preparation process of polymeric ferric sulfate coagulant has important significance for efficient resource utilization of pickling waste liquid. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve or partially solve the problems of high cost, high pollution, low efficiency and performance defects of the flocculant in the traditional pickling waste liquid treatment method, the purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of polymeric ferric sulfate chlorination flocculant, which specifically comprises the following steps: (1) Add concentrated sulfuric acid to the pickling waste liquid at a volume ratio of (5-11.6):100 of concentrated sulfuric acid to filtered pickling waste liquid, carry out waste liquid replacement reaction, adjust the vacuum degree, and then evaporate and recover hydrochloric acid in the pickling waste liquid to obtain an evaporation mother liquor. To prevent crystals from precipitating in the mother liquor, water is added to the mother liquor. The molar ratio of Cl - to SO4 2- is 1.5-4.5.

[0013] Preferably, in step (3), the oxidizing gas is oxygen, ozone or chlorine, and the ozone addition amount is 1-5 g / L.

[0014] Preferably, in step (4), the maturation reaction condition is that the maturation temperature is 30-70°C, and the reaction time is 30 min.

[0015] Another purpose of the present application is to use the polymeric ferric sulfate chlorination flocculant prepared by the above preparation method to treat phosphorus-containing waste sewage.

[0016] Mechanism of the present application: The metal product industry hydrochloric acid pickling waste liquid mainly contains hydrochloric acid and ferrous ions, and by using the high boiling point characteristics of sulfuric acid, the replacement with hydrochloric acid can occur under negative pressure and low temperature conditions, and the evaporated hydrochloric acid can be condensed and recovered; iron oxide is added to the solution after replacement of sulfuric acid, to consume excess free acid and adjust the total iron content, and an oxidizing agent is added to oxidize Fe 2+ in the solution to Fe 3+ , and the hydrolysis of Fe 3+ generates a hydroxyl bridged polynuclear complex, and Cl - and SO4 2- participate in coordination together, Cl⁻ tends to form smaller aggregates (such as dimers or oligomers), SO4 2- is a double-charged anion, and has a strong bridging effect with Fe 3+ , and is easy to form a macromolecular network structure, thereby enhancing the charge neutralization and adsorption bridging capacity of the flocculant; the solution is aged at a certain temperature to promote the growth of the polymer chain, thereby forming a red-brown polymeric ferric chloride sulfate liquid with a certain degree of polymerization; the hydrolysis product has a positive charge, and can capture negatively charged pollutants (such as phosphate, chromate and dichromate, etc.) through electrostatic adsorption, and settle down with the flocculent, thereby achieving the purpose of removing pollutants.

[0020] (4) The present application uses the metal product industry hydrochloric acid pickling waste liquid to prepare the polymeric ferric chloride sulfate flocculant, SO4 2- coordinates to inhibit the excessive hydrolysis of Fe 3+ , avoids the generation of iron hydroxide (Fe(OH)3) precipitate in storage, and further improves the stability of the flocculant.

[0021] (5) By accurately controlling the Cl - / SO4 2- ratio, the polymeric ferric chloride sulfate flocculant can be applied to various complex water qualities, and has a wide application scenario.
