Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, specifically relating to a two-stage chemical softening method for coal gasification wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] Wastewater from coal gasification units using the Texaco process is characterized by high hardness, high COD, and high ammonia nitrogen. While treated using biological processes such as SBR or A / O, the high hardness of the wastewater can cause scaling in transport pipelines, scaling and clogging of aeration discs in the biological treatment tanks, calcification of activated sludge, and blockage of reverse osmosis membranes for wastewater reuse. Chemical hardening is a commonly used technology for removing hardness from coal gasification wastewater. It typically involves adding NaOH-Na2CO3 and coagulants to precipitate and soften the wastewater. However, this method suffers from drawbacks in practical applications, including high consumption of acid-base adjusting agents, high salt ion concentrations, large sludge production, and high costs.

[0003] Crystallization granulation softening technology involves introducing wastewater into a fluidized bed device, adding sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH of the wastewater to alkaline, and adding sodium carbonate to promote the precipitation of calcium carbonate crystals. The resulting calcium carbonate crystals, induced by seed crystals within the fluidized bed, gradually grow into calcium carbonate particles with a diameter of 1–3 mm, effectively reducing water hardness and sludge production. However, in general engineering practice, chemical crystallization granulation softening requires the initial addition of caustic soda or other agents to adjust the environment to alkaline for softening. After the reaction, sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid is used to restore the pH to neutral before transporting the wastewater to the biological treatment unit. This process requires the addition of large amounts of reagents. Furthermore, the presence of calcium salts within the fluidized bed results in a low crystallization rate on the surface of the induced crystal seed crystals, and some calcium salts precipitate but fail to crystallize on the seed crystal surface, leading to problems such as excessive suspended solids (SS) and hardness in the softening tower's permeate.

[0004] In summary, the treatment of high-hardness wastewater, such as that from coal gasification, still faces challenges such as slow growth of calcium salts on induced crystal seed crystals leading to low hardness removal efficiency, and the need to add large amounts of chemical precipitating agents for softening and hardness removal, which urgently need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, one objective of this invention is to provide a two-stage chemical softening treatment method for coal gasification wastewater. This method can prepare highly efficient induced crystallization seed crystals by modifying waste coal gasification fine slag, and combine it with oxalate in nitrobenzene washing wastewater as a softening agent to achieve efficient softening and hardening removal of coal gasification wastewater.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for two-stage chemical softening of coal gasification wastewater, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1: Sulfonation modification pretreatment is performed on the waste coal gasification fine residue generated from coal gasification to obtain induced crystallization seed crystals;

[0009] S2: Induced crystallization seed crystals are added to a primary chemical crystallization granulation fluidized bed, coal gasification wastewater is introduced into the fluidized bed, and primary softening agent is added to remove calcium hardness from the coal gasification wastewater.

[0010] S3: The effluent from the primary fluidized bed enters the secondary chemical crystallization granulation fluidized bed, where secondary softening agents are added to remove the remaining calcium hardness in the wastewater;

[0011] S4: After the primary and secondary chemical granulation fluidized bed crystallization particles have grown and matured, they are discharged from the fluidized bed;

[0012] Optionally, S5: Crystallized particles are mixed with ceramsite and used as packing material in low-load denitrification filter beds to provide a slow-release carbon source.

[0013] The inventors discovered that sulfonation modification of fine coal gasification slag forms induced crystallization seed crystals. Grafting sulfonic acid groups onto the surface of the fine coal gasification slag can attract calcium ions in the wastewater, promoting the crystallization and precipitation of calcium ions on the surface of the induced crystallization seed crystals. At the same time, oxalate in the nitrobenzene washing wastewater reacts with calcium ions in the wastewater to form calcium oxalate, which continuously crystallizes and grows on the surface of the induced crystallization seed crystals, thereby achieving the removal of calcium hardness from coal gasification wastewater.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sulfonation modification of the coal gasification fine slag in S1 is modified by a mercaptosilane coupling agent; preferably, the mercaptosilane coupling agent is a C3-C12 alkoxysilane containing mercapto groups, preferably one or more of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane, and 3-mercaptopropylmethyldimethylsilane; preferably, the mass ratio of the mercaptosilane coupling agent to the coal gasification fine slag is 1:10-25.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the modified sulfonated coal gasification fine slag is centrifuged and dried to obtain induced crystallization seed crystals.

[0016] For example, anhydrous ethanol can be added to the coal gasification fine slag at a mass ratio of 1:20, and the mixture can be stirred to obtain dispersed coal gasification fine slag; the dispersed coal gasification fine slag can be contacted with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane coupling agent at a mass ratio of 1:15, and modified at 60°C for 2 hours. After the reaction, the mixture is washed and filtered with acetone and dried at 80°C for 12 hours to obtain coal gasification fine slag with surface thiol modification; the coal gasification fine slag with surface thiol modification can be placed in a reaction vessel, and 1% hydrogen peroxide can be added and stirred at room temperature for 24 hours to obtain coal gasification fine slag with surface sulfonation modification.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the calcium hardness of the coal gasification wastewater in S2 is 1000-1500 mg / L, and the calcium ion concentration is 400-600 mg / L.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the primary softening agent in S2 is nitrobenzene washing wastewater, preferably taken from the crude nitrobenzene acid washing unit in the nitrobenzene production process; preferably, the mixing mass ratio of the primary softening agent and the coal gasification wastewater is 1:0.5 to 0.7.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the secondary softening agent in S3 is oxalate, preferably sodium oxalate and / or potassium oxalate; preferably, the secondary softening agent is prepared as a solution with a concentration of 5-20 wt% when used; preferably, the dosage of the secondary softening agent is determined according to the hardness of the wastewater effluent from the primary softening process, based on Ca... 2+ The C2CO4 molar ratio is 1:0.8 to 1.2; preferably, the wastewater retention time is 0.3 to 0.5 hours.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, in S4, the crystallized particles grow to a certain particle size of 1-10 mm, preferably 2-4 mm, and the growth cycle is 20-40 days.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the crystalline particles and ceramsite in S5 are mixed at a mass ratio of 1:50 to 200 as packing material for a low-load denitrification filter; preferably, the ceramsite particle size is 1-10 mm, more preferably 2-4 mm.

[0022] Another objective of this invention is to provide an application of a two-stage chemical softening method for coal gasification wastewater.

[0023] An application of a two-stage chemical softening method for coal gasification wastewater, wherein the method is the one described above, and the method is used for the chemical crystallization removal of calcium hardness in coal gasification wastewater.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] (1) The present invention uses modified waste coal gasification fine slag as seed crystals for induction crystallization. The induced crystallization rate of calcium oxalate is improved by sulfonation modification, while realizing the in-plant reuse of coal gasification fine slag and the resource utilization of coal gasification fine slag.

[0026] (2) The present invention uses oxalate in nitrobenzene washing wastewater as a softening agent. Compared with the existing NaOH-Na2CO3 combined softening technology, the present invention does not require pH adjustment, which reduces the amount of softening agent added and achieves comprehensive utilization of oxalate in wastewater.

[0027] (3) The mature crystalline calcium oxalate particles produced by this invention serve as a carbon source for denitrification filters, effectively reducing the hardness of the effluent while decreasing the production of chemically softened sludge. Attached Figure Description
