Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial wastewater resource utilization, specifically relating to a comprehensive utilization device and method for high-salt acetonitrile wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Fine chemical production processes are lengthy, involving numerous organic chemical reactions, and resulting in the discharge of large quantities of wastewater containing organic solvents. Among these, acetonitrile in the wastewater is highly concentrated, toxic, and complex in composition. According to current national environmental protection requirements, acetonitrile wastewater must undergo specialized treatment processes for disposal, the cost of which is five times that of commercial acetonitrile. If acetonitrile and other components in the wastewater are separated and recycled, not only can environmental pollution be reduced, but unreacted acetonitrile can also be reused. Currently, the following are some treatment methods for acetonitrile-containing wastewater:
[0003] For high-concentration acetonitrile wastewater, the main methods involve single or combined processes centered on thermal methods to concentrate the acetonitrile to 99% or higher. Patent CN 109593059 A utilizes the pressure-dependent compositional variation of the acetonitrile-water azeotrope, employing pressure-swing distillation (both atmospheric and pressurized distillation). The final product is 99.6% high-purity acetonitrile at the bottom of the pressurized distillation column and 99.95% water at the bottom of the low-pressure distillation column. However, this method uses a single feed composition and still produces 500 ppm of low-concentration acetonitrile wastewater. Patent CN105968028A modifies the relative volatility of components by adding ethylene glycol extractant to an extractive distillation column. High-purity acetonitrile is obtained at the top of the column, and the aqueous ethylene glycol discharged from the bottom is purified in a dehydration column and returned to the extractive distillation column. This method requires an additional ethylene glycol dehydration column, increasing operating energy consumption. Patent CN101492391A employs a process combining extraction and distillation. Acetonitrile is extracted into the extract phase by adding dichloromethane as an extractant, and then the extract phase is fed into a distillation column to obtain high-purity acetonitrile, while the dichloromethane is returned to the extraction tank. This method generates wastewater containing both dichloromethane and acetonitrile during the purification process, leading to secondary pollution of the effluent. A process combining conventional distillation and dehydration utilizes conventional distillation to obtain an acetonitrile-water azeotrope, which is then dehydrated by freezing (patent CN 112812038 A) or liquid-phase membrane dehydration (patent CN114315641A) to obtain anhydrous acetonitrile. This type of method requires both high-temperature and low-temperature or special membrane equipment, resulting in higher operating costs.
[0004] For low-concentration acetonitrile wastewater, biological and physicochemical methods are mainly used to degrade the acetonitrile and achieve compliant discharge. Patent CN114214254A utilizes domesticated Rhodococcus rubrum to degrade acetonitrile. While this method can degrade acetonitrile into corresponding carboxylic acids and ammonia, and the carboxylic acids can be further oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, it also has the following drawbacks: aeration accelerates the stripping of acetonitrile from the wastewater, polluting the atmosphere; additionally, the increased ammonia nitrogen content in the effluent necessitates additional nitrification and denitrification processes, increasing operating costs; furthermore, if the salinity of the wastewater is high, it can inhibit microorganisms, reducing the effectiveness of biological treatment. Patent CN110803818A provides a method combining distillation and alkaline hydrolysis, reducing the acetonitrile content of low-concentration acetonitrile wastewater obtained from distillation to 5 ppm through alkaline hydrolysis. This method requires sodium hydroxide for alkaline hydrolysis, and the reaction time is long and the temperature is high, leaving trace amounts of acetonitrile in the effluent.
[0005] Therefore, none of the above methods can effectively treat acetonitrile wastewater with high salinity. Patent CN104817140A addresses the characteristics of perfluoroketone production wastewater, which contains acetonitrile and high salinity, by employing a two-step electrolytic oxidation process. First, acetonitrile is oxidized by low-pressure micro-current electrolysis, and then sodium hypochlorite is prepared by conventional current electrolysis of NaCl. This method degrades acetonitrile using expensive and energy-intensive electrolysis equipment, but it has strict requirements on the acetonitrile concentration in the wastewater, and the acetonitrile removal rate is greatly affected by salinity and pH, making it difficult to adapt to the fluctuating water quality characteristics of industrial production. Furthermore, the resulting sodium hypochlorite concentrate is low, and the byproducts and residual acetonitrile generated during prolonged electrolysis affect the purity of the sodium hypochlorite.
[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need for a method to achieve comprehensive utilization of acetonitrile and other components in wastewater while optimizing the energy consumption of the process. Summary of the Invention

Triple-effect evaporator 6 requires 10.17 kg / h of 0.5 MPa steam, which is generated by flash tank 5. Flash tank 5 collects first live steam condensate Q and second live steam condensate R through a closed system (controlled pressure 0.5 MPa), producing 12.35 kg / h of 0.5 MPa flash steam S, with a surplus of 2.18 kg / h.
[0057] The secondary steam condensate I is processed by reverse osmosis unit 9 to produce demineralized water P (0.01 MΩ·cm, output 760 kg / h), which is used in NaCl electrolysis unit 7, alkali absorption unit 8 and directly reused in the production workshop. The resulting concentrated water O (acetonitrile content 0.83wt%, sodium chloride content 3.85wt%, output 506 kg / h) is returned to blending tank 1 for further distillation.
