Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, in particular to a method for treating wastewater containing chlorine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of industry, the problem of discharge of wastewater containing chlorine is becoming increasingly serious, which has become one of the key factors restricting the sustainable development of the environment. Wastewater containing chlorine is widely sourced from multiple industries such as chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, printing and dyeing industry, and electronics industry. The chloride ions in the wastewater not only have strong corrosive properties, but also can accelerate the damage of metal equipment and concrete structures, increasing maintenance costs and safety hazards. If the wastewater is directly discharged into water bodies without effective treatment, it will change the salinity and osmotic pressure of the water body, causing serious threats to the living environment of aquatic organisms, inhibiting the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, and further affecting the balance of the entire ecological system.

[0003] Currently, the industry generally uses MVR (mechanical vapor recompression) evaporation systems to treat wastewater containing chlorine. Although this technology can achieve the concentration and reduction of wastewater, it has two major defects that are difficult to avoid in actual application.

[0004] 1. The residual chlorine in wastewater containing chlorine has a strong irritating odor. The residual chlorine will volatilize into the operating environment with steam, leading to deterioration of the air quality in the workshop. Long-term exposure can cause damage to the respiratory tract and skin mucosa of the operators, causing air pollution in the operating environment, which does not meet the occupational health and safety standards.

[0005] 2. Wastewater containing chlorine can cause serious corrosion of metal equipment in the MVR evaporation system, especially in a high-temperature and high-humidity operating environment, the corrosion rate will further increase, shortening the service life of the equipment. Each maintenance requires several days of downtime, which not only increases the maintenance cost, but also affects the production continuity, causing economic losses.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present application is proposed after in-depth research. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application aims to provide a method for treating wastewater containing chlorine to solve the problems of air pollution in the operating environment and serious equipment corrosion existing in the existing wastewater treatment.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solution: a method for treating wastewater containing chlorine, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step 1, pretreatment: introducing wastewater containing chlorine into a reaction tank, starting the stirring device for stirring, and controlling the temperature of the wastewater containing chlorine.

[0010] Step 2, acidification: adding hydrochloric acid solution to the temperature-adjusted wastewater containing chlorine, and performing acidification reaction during stirring to reduce the pH value.

[0011] Step three, reduction dechlorination reaction: add sodium thiosulfate solution to the acidified chlorine-containing wastewater, stir the reaction to reduce the residual chlorine and release chlorine gas;

[0012] Step four, pH value adjustment: add caustic soda to the chlorine-containing wastewater after reaction, stir to adjust the pH value of the chlorine-containing wastewater, and complete the neutralization of the water quality;

[0013] Step five, reuse: after the pH value of the chlorine-containing wastewater after step four is adjusted, the residual chlorine content is detected to meet the standard, and then it is directly sent to the MVR evaporation system for treatment, and the treated water meets the standard for reuse.

[0014] By adopting the above technical scheme, the residual chlorine content in the chlorine-containing wastewater can be systematically reduced, which not only meets the water inlet requirement of the subsequent MVR evaporation system, but also realizes water reuse and chlorine gas resource utilization, which is in line with the green environmental protection and sustainable development concept.

[0015] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the stirring speed in step one is controlled to be 200-300 r / min, and the temperature of the chlorine-containing wastewater is controlled to be 25-40°C.

[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, the components of the chlorine-containing wastewater can be uniformly distributed, creating a stable reaction environment for subsequent acidification and reduction reactions, and improving the efficiency and effect of subsequent treatment steps.

[0017] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the hydrochloric acid solution added in step two is 3% of the chlorine-containing wastewater, and the addition speed of the hydrochloric acid solution is 0.6-0.8 L / (min·m³).

[0018] By adopting the above technical scheme, it can be avoided that excessive or too fast addition of hydrochloric acid leads to sudden increase of local acidity, ensuring that the acidification process is stable and controllable, and providing suitable acidic conditions for residual chlorine reduction reaction.

[0019] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the acidification reaction time in step two is controlled to be 15-30 min, and the pH value is reduced to 2-4.

[0020] By adopting the above technical scheme, the acid range can maximize the activation of the reduction activity of the subsequent sodium thiosulfate, laying a foundation for efficient conversion of residual chlorine, and avoiding low processing efficiency caused by too long reaction time.

[0021] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the sodium thiosulfate solution added in step three is 5% of the chlorine-containing wastewater, and the molar ratio of sodium thiosulfate to residual chlorine in the wastewater is controlled to be 1:4-5.

[0022] By adopting the above technical scheme, it can be ensured that the sodium thiosulfate is sufficient and not excessive, which can not only reduce the residual chlorine in the wastewater to chlorine gas, but also avoid waste of reagents and secondary pollution.

[0023] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the stirring speed in step three is controlled to be 100-200 r / min, and the stirring reaction is performed for 20-40 min.

[0024] By using the above technical scheme, the sodium thiosulfate can be fully contacted and reacted with the chlorine-containing wastewater, and the complete reduction of residual chlorine can be ensured.

[0025] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the chlorine gas released in step three is captured by airtight collection devices at the top of the reaction tank, and is delivered to a chlorination reaction kettle after being pressurized by a chlorine gas pump for recycling.

[0026] By using the above technical scheme, the chlorine gas released in the reduction reaction can be captured and reused in the chlorination reaction through airtight collection and pressurized delivery, which not only avoids the pollution of the working environment and the harm to the health of personnel caused by the volatilization of chlorine gas, but also realizes the recycling of waste and reduces the raw material procurement cost.

[0027] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the caustic soda in step four is flaky sodium hydroxide or a 30% sodium hydroxide solution, and the pH value is adjusted to 7-8, and the change rate of the pH value during the adjustment process is controlled to be ≤0.5 pH / min.

[0028] By using the above technical scheme, the wastewater can be smoothly neutralized to the neutral range, the damage to the subsequent MVR equipment caused by the sudden change of the pH value can be avoided, and the water quality safety of the reclaimed water can be ensured.

[0029] As a preferred technical scheme of the present application, the residual chlorine content is detected to be ≤0.5 ppm in step five.

[0030] By using the above technical scheme, the corrosion rate of the wastewater on the metal equipment of the MVR evaporation system can be greatly reduced, the service life of the equipment can be prolonged, the number of maintenance shutdowns can be reduced, the production continuity can be ensured, and the environmental protection standard of the reclaimed water can be met.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: the method for treating chlorine-containing wastewater;

[0032] 1. Solve the problem of air pollution in the working environment: by adding hydrochloric acid to the chlorine-containing wastewater for acidification, and then adding sodium thiosulfate for reduction, the residual chlorine in the wastewater is converted into harmless chloride ions, and the chlorine gas released by the reaction is captured by airtight collection devices for recycling, thereby avoiding the volatilization of residual chlorine into the working environment, removing the odor, improving the air quality in the workshop, and meeting the occupational health and safety standards.

[0033] 2. Reduce equipment corrosion: after reduction dechlorination treatment, the residual chlorine content of wastewater is ≤0.5ppm, which can greatly reduce the corrosion of metal equipment when sent into the MVR evaporation system, prolong the service life of the equipment, reduce the maintenance downtime, reduce the maintenance cost, and ensure the continuity of production;

[0034] 3. Realize resource recycling: on the one hand, the treated reclaimed water meets the standard for reuse, reducing the consumption of fresh water resources; on the other hand, the captured chlorine gas is reused for chlorination reaction, realizing waste resource utilization, and meeting the green environmental protection and sustainable development concept.
