TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a hierarchical ultrasonic induction calcium fluoride crystallization process. BACKGROUND
[0002] Fluorine is an important strategic resource and is widely used in key fields such as rare earth industry and semiconductor manufacturing, and has irreplaceability in modern industry and technology. In nature, fluorine mainly exists in the form of fluorine-containing minerals (such as fluorite), and it is reported that the global proven fluorite reserves are about 460 million tons. High-grade fluorite is the most ideal raw material in industry, but its reserves only account for 20%-30% of the total global fluorite reserves. In recent years, photovoltaic cells and semiconductor chips have developed rapidly, and a large amount of hydrofluoric acid is required in the production process, accompanied by the discharge of high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater. Such wastewater is usually treated by the lime method and fluorine is recovered.
[0003] There are currently two ways to recover fluorine by the lime method. One is through stirring reaction and precipitation, that is, high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater is added into a stirring tank, and lime solution is added at the same time, the pH is controlled in a certain range, the calcium fluoride precipitate generated by reaction is separated into a slurry in a sedimentation tank, and fluorine-containing calcium sludge is obtained. This process has the advantages of short process flow and simple operation, but also has obvious disadvantages:
[0004] (1) Because of the low solubility of lime, extensive stirring is carried out in the stirring reaction tank, which is easy to cause local insufficient reaction due to the lime particles that cannot be dissolved in time, and finally the lime particles are wrapped, resulting in low sludge purity (below 80%) and reducing the resource value;
[0005] (2) The calcium fluoride precipitate formed belongs to sludge, and the particle size is low (10 μm and below), and the too small particle size causes dusting and blockage of the device in the production of hydrofluoric acid, and cannot be effectively reused.
[0006] The other way is to use a crystallization fluidized bed to recover calcium fluoride particles by inducing crystallization, which greatly improves the particle size of the crystalline particles, but also has the problem of lime particle wrapping due to insufficient dispersion of lime. First, the utilization efficiency of lime and the purity of calcium fluoride are reduced, and the amount of lime is increased. Second, due to the high fluorine concentration of the influent, the local supersaturation degree is too high, which easily causes the problem of crystal explosion, resulting in a wide particle size distribution range and difficulty in controlling the particle size of calcium fluoride crystals, which to some extent affects the stability of the quality of calcium fluoride crystals. Third, the crystallization fluidized bed needs to continuously supplement small particle seeds into the system to ensure the effect of induced crystallization, which also leads to the increase of cost.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0026] Figure 1 The present application is a schematic diagram of the structural principle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] Embodiment: A hierarchical ultrasonic induced calcium fluoride crystallization process, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0028] Step one: part of the high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater is sent into the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3;
[0029] Step two: the lime solution is sent into the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3 at a calcium fluoride molar ratio of 0.45-0.55, and the concentration of the lime solution is controlled at 5%-10%;
[0030] Step three: the lime solution and the hydrofluoric acid in the high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater react in the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3 to form small-particle crystal nuclei, and the ultrasonic power of the ultrasonic transducer in the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3 is controlled during the reaction process to realize the sufficient mixing and dispersion of the lime solution and the hydrofluoric acid and the crystal nucleus generation amount;
[0031] Step four: the crystal nuclei formed in the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3 enter the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4 with the water outlet;
[0032] Step five: the remaining high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater is sent into the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4, and the lime solution is sent into the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4 at a calcium fluoride molar ratio of 0.45-0.55;
[0033] Step six: the lime solution and the hydrofluoric acid in the high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater react in the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3 to form calcium fluoride, and the calcium fluoride grows on the surface of the crystal nuclei to form calcium fluoride crystal particles, and the ultrasonic power of the ultrasonic transducer in the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4 is controlled during the reaction process to realize the sufficient mixing and dispersion of the lime solution and the hydrofluoric acid and the growth particle size of the crystal;
[0034] Step 7: After the crystals in the ultrasonic induced crystal grower 4 reach a certain particle size range (30-50 μm), they are discharged through the crystal discharge port at the bottom of the ultrasonic induced crystal grower 4 and dehydrated to obtain high-purity calcium fluoride crystals with a moisture content of less than 30%. The effluent from the ultrasonic induced crystal grower 4 enters the subsequent comprehensive wastewater defluorination system 7 for treatment to meet the standards.
[0035] The high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater to be treated is transported to the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleation generator 3 and the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4 through pipelines, and the prepared lime solution is transported to the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleation generator and the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4 through pipelines. The calcium hydroxide in the lime solution reacts with the hydrofluoric acid in the high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater to generate calcium fluoride. The ultrasonic induced crystal nucleation generator 3 is started first, and the calcium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid are fully mixed and dispersed by using the dispersion effect of high-frequency ultrasound (the cavitation effect and mechanical vibration effect generated by high-frequency ultrasound in the liquid, the instantaneous high-pressure shock wave and shear force break the particle agglomeration structure). The ultrasonic power is adjusted to control the amount of crystal nuclei generated. A large number of small-particle calcium fluoride crystal nuclei are formed in the ultrasonic-induced crystal nucleus generator 3. These crystal nuclei enter the ultrasonic-induced crystal grower 4 along with the water discharged from the ultrasonic-induced crystal nucleus generator 3. After the ultrasonic-induced crystal grower 4 is started, the calcium fluoride generated by the reaction of calcium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid therein adheres to the surface of the crystal nuclei and grows to form large-particle calcium fluoride crystals. Similarly, the dispersion effect of high-frequency ultrasonic waves is utilized to control the sufficient mixing and dispersion of calcium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid. The growth of the crystals is controlled by adjusting the power of the high-frequency ultrasonic waves. At the same time, the high-frequency ultrasonic waves are prevented from being broken due to excessive power. As the ultrasonic-induced crystal grower 4 is started, the calcium fluoride generated by the reaction of calcium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid is attached to the surface of the crystal nuclei and grows to form large-particle calcium fluoride crystals. The nucleus generator 3 continuously forms crystal nuclei and discharges them into the ultrasonic induced crystal grower 4, thereby realizing the continuous replenishment of the crystal nuclei in the ultrasonic induced crystal grower 4. The calcium hydroxide in the lime solution continuously entering the ultrasonic induced crystal grower 4 and the hydrofluoric acid in the high-concentration acidic fluoride-containing wastewater continuously react to generate calcium fluoride, and the calcium fluoride continuously adheres to the surface of the replenished crystal nuclei, thereby continuously generating large-particle calcium fluoride crystals. Due to the presence of high-frequency ultrasonic waves in the ultrasonic induced crystal grower 4, on the one hand, the lime solution and the high-concentration acidic fluoride-containing wastewater are fully mixed, thereby ensuring sufficient reaction. At the same time, the particle size of the generated large-particle calcium fluoride crystals can be controlled, so that the final formed The large calcium fluoride crystals produced have substantially the same particle size. The large calcium fluoride crystals sink in the ultrasonically induced crystal grower 4 and are regularly discharged from a crystal discharge port at the bottom of the ultrasonically induced crystal grower 4. The discharged large calcium fluoride crystals are mixed with a portion of wastewater and enter a dehydration system 6 for dehydration treatment. Ultimately, high-purity calcium fluoride crystals with a moisture content below 30% are obtained. These high-purity calcium fluoride crystals can be recycled as industrial raw materials. Meanwhile, the final effluent from the ultrasonically induced crystal grower 4 enters a subsequent comprehensive wastewater defluorination system 7. After further treatment such as defluorination and SS removal by the continued addition of reagents, the qualified water is discharged or reused.
[0036] The process described above forms the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3 and the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4 by setting the ultrasonic generating device in the reactor, and realizes the sufficient mixing and dispersion of the lime solution and the high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater by controlling the power of the high-frequency ultrasonic wave, ensures the sufficient reaction of the calcium hydroxide in the lime solution and the hydrofluoric acid in the high-concentration acidic fluorine-containing wastewater, at the same time, controls the particle size of the calcium fluoride crystals generated in the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3 and the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4, the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3 is used to generate small-particle calcium fluoride crystal nucleus, which is supplied to the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4, the calcium fluoride generated by reaction in the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4 grows on the surface of the crystal nucleus to form large-particle calcium fluoride crystal, this gradient crystallization mode controlled by ultrasonic wave can effectively control the particle size of the calcium fluoride crystal in a certain range (30 μm-50 μm), at the same time, ensures that the hydrofluoric acid in the wastewater and the lime solution can be fully dispersed, can effectively control the reaction supersaturation, prevents the crystal explosion phenomenon in the reaction process, and can greatly improve the utilization rate of lime, maximally avoids the problem of lime particle wrapping, can improve the purity of calcium fluoride to more than 93%, and the water content is controlled to be less than 30%, ensures the stability of the calcium fluoride crystal product, and the process does not need to provide calcium fluoride crystal seeds externally, saves the cost of crystal seeds.

The large calcium fluoride crystal particles discharged from the ultrasonic induced crystal growth device 4 are uniformly collected by the crystal collection tank 5, and the mixture of the calcium fluoride crystal particles and water is continuously stirred to keep the calcium fluoride crystal particles dispersed and suspended in the water, and then the mixture is sent to the dehydration system 6 for dehydration. The consistency of the calcium fluoride crystal product is high, and the dehydration system 6 can be a filter pressing device.
[0040] The filtrate generated by the dehydration treatment is simultaneously returned to the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3. The return of the dehydration filtrate is mainly to improve the solubility of lime in the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3, and at the same time, to reduce the supersaturation in the ultrasonic induced crystal nucleus generator 3, and further prevent the occurrence of crystal explosion.
