Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dyeing and printing wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically, to a method for the resource-based treatment of dyeing and printing wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Dyeing and printing wastewater is a challenging type of industrial wastewater due to its complex composition, high color, high organic matter content, and high salt content. Traditional treatment methods, such as biochemical methods, ozone oxidation, and coagulation sedimentation, can remove some pollutants to a certain extent, but they still suffer from problems such as incomplete degradation of organic matter, high treatment costs, and low resource recovery rates.
[0003] In the prior art, patent publication number CN110697960A proposes a method for separating salt from dyeing and printing wastewater using electrodialysis technology, achieving the separation and reuse of salt and organic matter. However, this process does not perform sufficient pretreatment for organic matter degradation in the wastewater, and the direct entry of organic matter into the electrodialysis system can easily lead to membrane fouling, seriously affecting membrane life and current efficiency.
[0004] Patent publication number CN109896685B discloses a system and method for the harmless treatment of high-concentration dyeing and printing wastewater. This patent proposes a system combining ozone oxidation, Fenton reaction, filtration, and electrodialysis to treat high-concentration dyeing and printing wastewater, ultimately obtaining sodium chloride through evaporation and crystallization. While this process achieves a certain degree of resource recovery, it relies on energy-intensive MVR evaporators and has low added value for the products, resulting in poor economic efficiency.
