Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a treatment method for reverse osmosis concentrated water. BACKGROUND
[0002] The water source of industrial circulating water is complex, and part of the circulating water (such as reclaimed water, seawater, and high-salinity underground water) has high salinity. The conventional pretreatment (coagulation and filtration) cannot remove ions, and therefore, desalination by a reverse osmosis membrane is required to ensure that the water quality of the water source meets the basic requirements of the circulating water. The recovery rate of the reverse osmosis technology for clean water is related to the water quality, and the actual recovery rate of an industrial reverse osmosis device can reach more than 75%, which is much higher than the recovery rate of a small device. Even so, the large amount of use of the industrial circulating water still causes a large amount of concentrated water during the operation of the reverse osmosis system. Therefore, it is of great industrial significance to find a stable and efficient recovery method for the reverse osmosis concentrated water.
[0003] At present, the recovery of the reverse osmosis concentrated water is usually achieved by secondary reverse osmosis or multi-stage reverse osmosis. However, the water quality of the reverse osmosis concentrated water is much more complex than that of the raw water of the water source, and the concentration of the pollutants is high and the composition is special. First, the highly concentrated hardness and salt in the concentrated water are prone to scale and precipitation on the reverse osmosis membrane, which reduces the treatment efficiency of the reverse osmosis membrane or even causes membrane blockage; the microorganisms and concentrated organic matter also cause membrane pollution and reduce the treatment efficiency. In order to solve this problem, it is usually necessary to add chemical reagents such as organic scale inhibitors (such as phosphonate and carboxylic acid) and bactericides (such as sodium hypochlorite and non-oxidizing bactericides) to the concentrated water for pretreatment to ensure the safety of the membrane. These reagents can form organic-inorganic composite pollutants in the concentrated water, which can also damage the treatment performance of the reverse osmosis membrane. In addition, the concentrated water may contain concentrated suspended particles, which will further aggregate due to the "concentration effect" in the secondary reverse osmosis system, forming "colloidal pollution" and accelerating the deactivation of the reverse osmosis membrane.
[0004] CN102139984A discloses a reverse osmosis concentrated water treatment method and a reverse osmosis concentrated water treatment system. The method comprises heating the reverse osmosis concentrated water; passing the heated reverse osmosis concentrated water into a membrane distillation assembly for membrane distillation treatment to obtain water vapor; passing the water vapor into a vapor-liquid separator to separate water droplets mixed in the water vapor; passing the water vapor into a heat exchanger to condense the water vapor into primary pure water; and passing the primary pure water into an electrodeionization membrane stack for electrodeionization treatment to obtain high-purity water.

[0006] CN103145296A discloses a reverse osmosis concentrated water treatment method and a treatment system thereof, comprising the following steps: (1) the reverse osmosis concentrated water is first introduced into a pH adjusting tank; (2) the reverse osmosis concentrated water treated by the pH adjusting tank is introduced into a photocatalytic oxidation unit to carry out photocatalytic oxidation reaction; (3) the effluent treated by the photocatalytic oxidation unit is introduced into a neutralization reaction tank to adjust the pH value to be 6-8; (4) the effluent treated by the neutralization reaction tank is introduced into a coagulation tank, and a coagulant is added into the coagulation tank to make the colloidal particles in the reverse osmosis concentrated water coagulate with each other; (5) the effluent treated by the coagulation tank is introduced into a sedimentation tank to carry out solid-liquid separation to remove the organic colloidal particles remaining in the reverse osmosis concentrated water after the photocatalytic oxidation reaction; and (6) the effluent treated by the sedimentation tank is discharged after passing through a filter.
[0007] However, the reverse osmosis concentrated water treatment method has the problems of high treatment cost, the need of adding coagulation agents, and the need of additional treatment of the generated sediments. SUMMARY

[0067] Example 3
[0068] The present embodiment provides a treatment method for reverse osmosis concentrated water, which comprises:
[0069] The reverse osmosis concentrated water to be treated is sequentially subjected to electrolytic treatment, heterogeneous adsorption treatment and reverse osmosis treatment to obtain clean water;
[0070] The TDS of the reverse osmosis concentrated water to be treated is 1200 mg / L, the total hardness is 400 mg / L, the chloride ion content is 200 mg / L, the HCO3 - content is 200 mg / L, and the COD is 5 mg / L;

[0072] The adsorbent used in the heterogeneous adsorption treatment is a mixture of quartz sand and calcium sulfite; the empty bed contact time of the heterogeneous adsorption treatment is 5 min; in the mixture of quartz sand and calcium sulfite, the mass ratio of calcium sulfite to residual chlorine in the water after electrolytic treatment is 2.2:1; the particle size of the quartz sand is 0.5 mm;
[0073] The concentrated water generated by the reverse osmosis treatment is mixed with the reverse osmosis concentrated water to be treated for cyclic treatment; when the TDS of the concentrated water generated by the reverse osmosis treatment is >70000 mg / L or the total hardness is >5000 mg / L, the concentrated water is discharged.
[0074] In summary, according to Examples 1-3, the treatment method for reverse osmosis concentrated water provided by the present application reduces the concentrations of hardness, microorganisms and organic pollutants in the concentrated water through electrolytic treatment; then, clean water is obtained through heterogeneous adsorption treatment and reverse osmosis treatment, and the TDS of the clean water is <150 mg / L, the total hardness is <20 mg / L, the chloride ion content is <50 mg / L, the HCO3- The content is <10 mg / L, and the COD is <4 mg / L, so that the reverse osmosis concentrated water is recycled, and the industrial water saving goal is achieved.
[0075] Example 4
[0076] The treatment method for the reverse osmosis concentrated water is the same as that in Example 1, except that the pH of the reverse osmosis concentrated water to be treated in the electrolysis treatment is 7.0.
[0077] Example 5
[0078] The treatment method for the reverse osmosis concentrated water is the same as that in Example 1, except that the pH of the reverse osmosis concentrated water to be treated in the electrolysis treatment is 9.5.
[0079] It can be concluded from the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 4-5 that, in Example 4, the pH of the reverse osmosis concentrated water to be treated in the electrolysis treatment is lower than the specified pH range of 7.5-9.0 in the present application, which causes the alkaline substances generated in the cathode to be neutralized, thereby inhibiting the hardness removal process in the cathode and affecting the treatment effect of the electrolysis process; in Example 5, the pH of the reverse osmosis concentrated water to be treated in the electrolysis treatment is higher than the specified pH range of 7.5-9.0 in the present application, which causes the pH of the concentrated water after electrolysis treatment to be too high, thereby causing the risk of alkaline corrosion and scaling on the reverse osmosis membrane, and additional acid needs to be added to adjust the pH, thereby increasing the operating cost.
[0080] Comparative Example 1
[0081] The treatment method for the reverse osmosis concentrated water is the same as that in Example 1, except that the electrolysis treatment is replaced by a coagulation and sedimentation treatment, and the coagulation and sedimentation treatment uses polyaluminum chloride.
[0082] Since the coagulation and sedimentation method is used to treat the reverse osmosis concentrated water in the present comparative example, precipitates are generated, which need to be treated additionally, thereby increasing the treatment cost of the reverse osmosis concentrated water. Moreover, the flocculation method has limited effect on the removal of hardness, COD, and microorganisms in the concentrated water, and cannot protect the reverse osmosis membrane.
[0083] Comparative Example 2
[0084] The treatment method for the reverse osmosis concentrated water is the same as that in Example 1, except that no heterogeneous adsorption treatment is performed.
[0085] Since no heterogeneous adsorption treatment is performed in the present comparative example, the suspended particles floating in the concentrated water after electrolysis treatment, the scale generated from the cathode, and the unreacted active chlorine can enter the reverse osmosis membrane, which not only causes chemical damage to the reverse osmosis membrane, but also reduces the filtration efficiency of the membrane, shortens the service life of the membrane, and increases the treatment cost of the reverse osmosis concentrated water.
[0086] Comparative Example 3
[0087] The present comparative example provides a treatment method of reverse osmosis concentrated water, which is the same as example 1 except that no reverse osmosis treatment is performed.
[0088] The present comparative example does not perform reverse osmosis treatment, so the concentration of total hardness and chloride ions in the concentrated water after heterogeneous adsorption treatment is high, which does not meet the requirements of industrial circulating water, and the recovery of reverse osmosis concentrated water cannot be achieved.
[0089] In summary, the treatment method of reverse osmosis concentrated water provided by the present application is reasonable in design and low in processing cost. Firstly, the reverse osmosis concentrated water is treated by electrolysis, which reduces the concentrations of hardness, microorganisms and organic pollutants in the concentrated water in one step, avoiding the generation of additional pollutants by chemical treatment. Then, the clean water source for industrial circulating water is obtained by using heterogeneous adsorption treatment and reverse osmosis treatment, achieving industrial water saving.
