Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of environmental protection wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a low-carbon gradient purification and salt resource recovery method for industrial wastewater containing high-concentration sulfite. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the industrial production of papermaking, petroleum chemical industry and textile, wastewater containing high-concentration sulfite is generated, which seriously affects the comprehensive wastewater treatment of enterprises. Taking the flue gas desulfurization wastewater in the heavy oil catalytic cracking in the petroleum refining industry as an example, the typical wastewater is generated in the desulfurization treatment of the flue gas generated by the catalytic cracking device. The sulfite with reducing property is easily oxidized by potassium dichromate in the chemical oxygen demand (COD) test, resulting in a significant high test result, which seriously interferes with the true evaluation of the organic pollutants in the wastewater. In addition, the high-concentration salt will affect the subsequent biological degradation and flocculation precipitation of the wastewater.
[0003] At present, the treatment methods for the wastewater containing high-concentration sulfite mainly include the aeration oxidation method and the ozone oxidation method. However, the aeration oxidation method has the problem of incomplete oxidation, and part of the sodium sulfite is converted into sodium sulfate. Although the ozone oxidation method has high efficiency, the energy consumption cost is high. It is worth noting that the oxidation of sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) to sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) is an important chemical raw material, and if high-purity recovery can be achieved, it can promote the resource utilization of wastewater. However, about 80% of the current sodium sulfate recovery process adopts the heating evaporation crystallization method, which has high energy consumption and cost, and the product is a mixed salt with complex composition and high impurity content, which has limited utilization value. The emerging photothermal interface evaporation technology has attracted much attention, and has significant application potential in the northwest region of China where the sunshine is long and the land resources are abundant.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a low-carbon gradient purification and salt resource recovery method for industrial wastewater containing high-concentration sulfite. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems of low efficiency, high energy consumption and resource loss in the wastewater treatment process in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the purpose of solving the above problems, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is to provide a low-carbon gradient purification and salt resource recovery method for industrial wastewater containing high-concentration sulfite, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step S1, connecting a microporous aeration head through an air pump, adjusting the aeration amount and controlling the aeration time, and performing air aeration oxidation pretreatment on the wastewater;
[0008] Step S2, generating ozone through an ozone generator, adjusting the ozone aeration amount and the ozone concentration, and performing ozone oxidation treatment on the pretreated wastewater;
[0009] Step S3: By adjusting the current and voltage through electrochemical oxidation, the wastewater after ozone oxidation is electrocatalytically oxidized to simultaneously oxidize the remaining sulfites and mineralized organic matter, thus eliminating the influence of organic matter on subsequent crystallization.
[0010] Step S4: Cool the wastewater after gradient purification by aeration with cold air to crystallize it. After the crystals have completely precipitated, discharge the supernatant to obtain sodium sulfate crystals.
[0011] Step S5: The filtered uncrystallized supernatant is sent to the photothermal interface concentration tank for photothermal interface concentration to concentrate the sodium sulfate concentration of the wastewater to 15% to 20%, and then subjected to secondary cooling crystallization to separate the supernatant from the crystallized salt.
[0012] Step S6: Repeat step S5 continuously until all wastewater evaporates and crystalline sodium salt is obtained.
[0013] Preferably, in step S1, air aeration oxidation is used as a pretreatment to oxidize the sulfite component in a low-energy manner. Hydrochloric acid solution is added to adjust the pH of the wastewater to 4-6, and the air aeration rate is generally 100-300 m³ / h. 3 Air / ton of water, aeration time 4-6 hours.
[0014] Preferably, in step S2, relying on the strong oxidizing properties of ozone, sulfites and organic matter are further oxidized. Sodium hydroxide solution is added to adjust the pH of the wastewater to 9-11, and the ozone aeration rate is generally 30-80 m³ / h. 3 Ozone per ton of water, with an ozone concentration typically between 10 and 20 mg / L, and an aeration time of 15 to 30 minutes.
[0015] Preferably, in step S3, the highly oxidizing activating substances generated at the anode and cathode during the electrocatalytic oxidation process directly or indirectly degrade pollutants, achieving efficient and deep oxidation. The anode material is selected as a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode with corrosion resistance, and the cathode is generally selected as a titanium plate, graphite, or other electrodes. The voltage is generally 2–5V, and the current density is generally 40–80 mA / cm². 2 The reaction time is 15–30 min.
[0016] Preferably, in step S4, to prevent scale formation of crystalline salt on the pipe wall and the inner wall of the container, air aeration cooling should be used, with the cold air temperature generally between 2 and 10°C. The aeration pipe is a perforated pipe with an aeration hole diameter of 5 to 10 mm, and the aeration holes are vertically downward to prevent salt crystallization from clogging the aeration holes. The crystallization time is generally 2 to 4 hours.
[0017] Preferably, in step S5, the photothermal interface evaporator is a salt-resistant polyurethane sponge evaporator, which uses 40-50 PPI polyurethane sponge as the matrix, and after cleaning, loads a polyvinyl alcohol-carbon black-PEDOT:PSS composite photothermal layer, and obtains it by glutaraldehyde crosslinking and freeze-drying curing.
[0018] This invention provides a low-carbon gradient purification and salt resource recovery method for industrial wastewater containing high concentrations of sulfite. Specifically targeting industrial wastewater containing high concentrations of sulfite, such as that from catalytic cracking flue gas desulfurization, a three-stage synergistic gradient oxidation system of air aeration oxidation, ozone oxidation, and electrocatalytic oxidation is invented. Salt resource recovery is achieved through a cooling crystallization coupled interface concentration and cyclic purification process. The integrated process of air aeration, ozone, and electrocatalytic gradients achieves complementary oxidation technologies with different energy densities, and the cyclic process of cooling crystallization and photothermal interface concentration achieves the recovery of high-purity sodium sulfate. This method features low energy consumption, low carbon emissions, and high resource recovery rate, making it particularly suitable for the Northwest region of my country, characterized by strong daytime sunshine, large diurnal temperature range, and low air humidity.

[0025] To make the present invention more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] like Figures 1-2As shown, this invention provides a method for low-carbon gradient purification and salt resource recovery of industrial wastewater containing high concentrations of sulfite, comprising the following steps:
[0027] Step S1: Connect the microporous aeration head to the air pump, adjust the aeration rate and control the aeration time to perform air aeration oxidation pretreatment on the wastewater. Air aeration oxidation is used as a pretreatment method to oxidize sulfite components in a low-energy manner. Hydrochloric acid solution is added to adjust the pH of the wastewater to 4-6. The air aeration rate is generally 100-300 m³ / h. 3 Air / ton of water, aeration time 4-6 hours.
[0028] Step S2: Ozone is generated using an ozone generator. The ozone aeration rate and concentration are adjusted to perform ozone oxidation treatment on the pretreated wastewater. Relying on the strong oxidizing properties of ozone, sulfites and organic matter are further oxidized. Sodium hydroxide solution is added to adjust the pH of the wastewater to 9-11. The ozone aeration rate is generally 30-80 m³ / h. 3 Ozone per ton of water, with an ozone concentration typically between 10 and 20 mg / L, and an aeration time of 15 to 30 minutes.
[0029] Step S3: Using electrochemical oxidation, the current and voltage are adjusted to perform electrocatalytic oxidation treatment on the wastewater after ozone oxidation, simultaneously oxidizing residual sulfites and mineralized organic matter, eliminating the influence of organic matter on subsequent crystallization. The highly oxidizing activating substances generated at the anode and cathode during the electrocatalytic oxidation process directly or indirectly degrade pollutants, achieving efficient and deep oxidation. The anode material is selected as a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode with corrosion resistance, while the cathode is generally made of titanium plates, graphite, or similar electrodes. The voltage is typically 2–5V, and the current density is typically 40–80 mA / cm². 2 The reaction time is 15–30 min.
[0030] Step S4: The wastewater after gradient purification is cooled and crystallized by cold air aeration. After the crystals have completely precipitated, the supernatant is discharged to obtain sodium sulfate crystals. To prevent scaling of the crystallized salt on the pipe and container walls, air aeration cooling should be used, with the cold air temperature generally between 2 and 10°C. Based on the solubility curves of sodium sulfate and sodium sulfite as a function of temperature, this cooling process keeps the wastewater temperature far below the saturation point of sodium sulfate, thus creating sufficient supersaturation driving force to promote preferential crystallization of sodium sulfate. The remaining sodium sulfite, due to its high solubility at low temperatures, remains in the mother liquor, ensuring product purity. The aeration pipes are perforated, with aeration holes of 5–10 mm in diameter, and the holes are vertically downward to prevent salt crystallization from clogging the aeration holes. The crystallization time is generally 2–4 hours.
[0031] Step S5: The filtered uncrystallized supernatant is sent to the photothermal interface concentration tank for photothermal interface concentration. The sodium sulfate concentration of the wastewater is concentrated to 15% to 20%. Secondary cooling and crystallization are carried out to separate the supernatant from the crystallized salt. The photothermal interface evaporator is a salt-resistant polyurethane sponge evaporator. It uses 40 to 50 PPI polyurethane sponge as the matrix, and after cleaning, it is loaded with a polyvinyl alcohol-carbon black-PEDOT:PSS composite photothermal layer, which is then crosslinked with glutaraldehyde and freeze-dried to cure the material.
[0032] Step S6: Repeat step S5 continuously until all wastewater evaporates and crystalline sodium salt is obtained.
[0033] Figure 2 The graph shows the solubility of common salts in industrial wastewater containing high concentrations of sulfite as a function of temperature. In (a), the common salt is Na₂SO₃; in (b), it is Na₂SO₄. It can be seen that the solubility of sodium sulfite (Na₂SO₃) and sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) is the same at 27.8℃. Below 27.8℃, the solubility of sodium sulfate is much lower than that of sodium sulfite, and decreases sharply with decreasing temperature. Within the crystallization temperature range of 2–10℃, the solubility of sodium sulfate is only about 5–9 g / 100 g water (approximately 50,000 to 90,000 mg / L), a low level that contrasts sharply with the extremely high sodium sulfate concentration in the system. This easily leads to supersaturation and promotes the preferential growth and crystallization of sodium sulfate, while sodium sulfite, due to its high solubility, remains in the mother liquor, achieving efficient separation of the two and recovery of high-purity sodium sulfate.

After 2 hours of cold air aeration, sodium sulfate crystals precipitate out, are filtered and dried to obtain anhydrous sodium sulfate. The recovery rate of sodium sulfate is 58.07%, and the sulfate concentration of the remaining water sample is 52751.7 mg / L.
