Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment and resource utilization, and more specifically, relates to a bromine extraction system and method for bromine-based flame retardant washing wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Bromine is mainly extracted from the ocean, underground brine, and oil and gas fields, and the extraction process is complex. Bromine distribution is relatively concentrated, with over 90% of bromine produced within a single province. As a non-renewable resource in nature, bromine's reserves are dwindling. However, as an indispensable production material in modern industrial processes, the future demand for bromine will continue to grow. Therefore, the recycling and utilization of bromine resources is becoming increasingly important.
[0003] According to the latest survey report on the use of bromine resources, nearly 40% of bromine is used in the production of flame retardants. Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), as the mainstream bromine flame retardant, is currently mostly produced using the hydrogen peroxide bromination method. This involves using chlorobenzene as a solvent, and under the oxidation of H₂O₂, bisphenol A undergoes a bromination reaction to produce TDBPA. The wastewater discharged from TDBPA production mainly consists of three parts: First, the acidic water discharged after the bromination reaction is completed, which is neutralized with alkali and then discharged into a subsequent treatment tank; second, the chlorobenzene phase solution after separation is treated with sodium sulfite, resulting in stratification, which is then separated to form a second type of wastewater; third, the wash water formed after the chlorobenzene phase solution is washed three times with hot water. This wastewater is alkaline and contains many dissolved reaction products and byproducts, making it extremely complex.
[0004] For the wastewater from the above-mentioned tetrabromobisphenol A washing process, since the tetrabromobisphenol A washing process requires two sodium sulfite washes and three deionized water washes, the concentration of bromide ions in the discharged wastewater can reach 800-1000 mg / L, mainly in the form of sodium bromide. Other pollutants in the water are relatively few, with only 3000-5000 mg / L sulfate and 2000-3000 mg / L COD.
[0005] In addition, the main methods for extracting bromine currently include the following: In the steam distillation method, the brine is acidified and enters a packed column. In the column, bromide ions are oxidized into free bromine by countercurrent chlorine gas. Then, the bromine is distilled off in a condenser by taking advantage of the difference in volatility between water and bromine. The bromine product is obtained by allowing the distillate to settle and separate into layers. In the air-blowing method, bromide ions in the brine are oxidized by chlorine gas to form elemental bromine, which is then blown out of the brine by air. After absorption by an absorbent, chlorine gas is added, and the free bromine is separated by water vapor. The bromine is then condensed to obtain bromine. The air-blowing method is further divided into two processes: acidification absorption and alkaline absorption. In the ion exchange adsorption method, bromide ions are oxidized to free bromides during chlorination and oxidation, which are then absorbed by the ion exchange resin. The loaded resin can then desorb the bromide ions using H₂SO₃ and accept them. Finally, hydrochloric acid is used to elute the bromide ions adsorbed in the resin, and the eluent is oxidized by chlorine and then steam distilled to obtain the final product.
[0006] Of the three methods mentioned above, only steam distillation and air blowing have been industrially applied, but both have their limitations. Steam distillation is suitable for scenarios with bromine content greater than 3 g / L, but it is generally difficult for bromine in the extract to reach this concentration. Currently, over 90% of bromine extraction uses air blowing, but this method has disadvantages such as high acid and alkali consumption and high energy consumption.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a bromine extraction system and method for bromine-based flame retardant washing wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a bromine extraction system and method for wastewater from the production of brominated flame retardants.

[0015] According to the present invention, preferably, the system further includes an ozone generator; the ozone generator is connected to the lower ozone inlet of the ozone oxidation tower.

[0018] In this invention, the bromine washing wastewater storage tank, the bromine-rich storage tank, and the bromine storage tank are all made of glass-lined material.
[0019] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for bromine extraction from washing wastewater containing brominated flame retardants. The method employs the aforementioned system and includes the following steps: S1: The washing wastewater from the production of tetrabromobisphenol A is sent from the bromine washing wastewater storage tank to the nanofiltration unit. After nanofiltration treatment, nanofiltration concentrate and sodium bromide-containing nanofiltration permeate are obtained. The sodium bromide-containing nanofiltration permeate is sent to the first reverse osmosis unit. After first reverse osmosis treatment, first reverse osmosis permeate and sodium bromide-containing reverse osmosis concentrate are obtained. The sodium bromide-containing reverse osmosis concentrate is sent to the MVR evaporator unit. After evaporation and concentration treatment, non-condensable gas, secondary steam condensate, and sodium bromide-containing mother liquor are obtained. The sodium bromide-containing mother liquor is sent to the bromine-rich storage tank. S2: The sodium bromide mother liquor in the bromine-rich storage tank is mixed with acid and then fed into the ozone oxidation tower. After ozone oxidation treatment, a feed liquid containing elemental bromine and bromate is obtained. The feed liquid containing elemental bromine and bromate is fed into the distillation tower. After distillation treatment, bromine is obtained at the top of the distillation tower and a residual liquid containing bromate is obtained at the bottom of the distillation tower. S3: The bromine is sent to the bromine storage tank for storage; a portion of the residual liquid containing bromate is sent to the second reverse osmosis unit for second reverse osmosis treatment to obtain second reverse osmosis permeate and bromate-containing reverse osmosis concentrate; the bromate-containing reverse osmosis concentrate is sent to the distillation tower for distillation treatment after reduction treatment.
[0020] In this invention, the washing wastewater from the production of tetrabromobisphenol A is collected and introduced into a bromine washing wastewater storage tank. The washing wastewater in the bromine washing wastewater storage tank has a relatively simple composition, with the main pollutants being sulfate, COD and sodium bromide.
[0021] The washing wastewater from the production of tetrabromobisphenol A is first pumped into the nanofiltration unit. After being pressurized by the raw water pump and high-pressure pump of the nanofiltration unit, it is separated by the nanofiltration membrane. Sulfate and a large amount of COD are intercepted by the nanofiltration membrane, forming nanofiltration concentrate which is discharged into the waste liquid tank. Sodium bromide in the washing wastewater can permeate through the nanofiltration membrane into the nanofiltration permeate, and at the same time, sodium bromide in the nanofiltration permeate can be concentrated.
[0022] Nanofiltration permeate enters the first reverse osmosis unit, where sodium bromide can be intercepted by the reverse osmosis membrane. Sodium bromide is mainly enriched in the reverse osmosis concentrate. The concentration factor of sodium bromide is adjusted by adjusting the reverse osmosis recovery rate. The reverse osmosis permeate is collected in a clear water storage tank. The sodium bromide-containing reverse osmosis concentrate is collected and then enters the MVR evaporator unit for further concentration.
[0023] In the MVR evaporator, the sodium bromide-containing reverse osmosis concentrate is concentrated after evaporation. Simultaneously, the sodium bromide-containing reverse osmosis concentrate may contain small amounts of organic substances such as chlorobenzene. These organic substances can form azeotropes with water during evaporation, thereby removing the organic matter. The secondary steam generated by the MVR evaporator is condensed to produce condensate, which is collected in a clean water storage tank. The non-condensable gas generated by the MVR evaporator carries a certain calorific value and is introduced into the insulation jacket at the bottom of the distillation column to exchange heat with the feed liquid inside the column. After the sodium bromide-containing mother liquor produced by the MVR evaporator reaches a certain concentration factor, the sodium bromide concentration in the mother liquor can reach 50-100 g / L.
[0024] Sodium bromide-containing mother liquor is collected in a bromine-rich storage tank. Then, the sodium bromide-containing mother liquor in the bromine-rich storage tank is mixed with acid (the pH of the mixture of sodium bromide-containing mother liquor and acid is 2-4) and sent to the ozone oxidation tower. Inside the ozone oxidation tower, bromide ions undergo a series of reactions with ozone: Br - +O3—BrO - +O2, this reaction is a rate-determining step, and the reaction rate is significantly affected by pH value; Acid-base balance: BrO - +H + —HOBr, under acidic conditions, HOBr is the main form; Secondary reaction: HOBr+H + +Br - —Br2+H2O, this reaction proceeds rapidly at pH <4, producing elemental bromine; Competitive response: BrO - +O3—BrO2 - +O2; BrO2 - +O3—BrO3 - +O2.
[0025] Inside the ozone oxidation tower, after sodium bromide is oxidized by ozone, bromide ions mainly exist in the form of elemental bromine, with a small amount of bromate also present.
[0026] A feed solution containing elemental bromine and bromate is pumped into a distillation column. The feed solution is heated to 60-70°C for distillation. The elemental bromine turns into bromine vapor upon heating. The bromine vapor exchanges heat with the condenser at the top of the distillation column, and after cooling, forms bromine, which is collected and stored in a bromine storage tank. This invention can control the bromine extraction rate in the distillation column to ≥90%. After reaching the required extraction rate, bromate will be further enriched in the residual liquid at the bottom of the distillation column. A portion of the residual liquid containing bromate is discharged to a waste liquid tank, while another portion is pumped into a second reverse osmosis unit. After reverse osmosis concentration, the bromate on the reverse osmosis concentrate side is enriched and discharged into a reduction reaction tank, while the reverse osmosis permeate is discharged into a clear water storage tank.
[0027] Inside the reduction reaction vessel, bromate ions react with the reducing agent (sodium sulfite) under acidic conditions as follows: BrO3 - +5Br - +6H + —3Br2+3H2O, the reduced liquid is fed back into the distillation tower for bromine extraction.
[0028] According to the present invention, preferably, the method further includes: The nanofiltration concentrate and the remaining portion of the bromate-containing residual liquid are discharged into a waste liquid tank; The first reverse osmosis permeate, the second reverse osmosis permeate, and the secondary steam condensate are discharged into a clear water storage tank. Then, the water in the clear water storage tank is sent into the condenser tube of the shell-and-tube condenser at the top of the distillation column as a cold source for condensing bromine vapor, thereby obtaining bromine at the top of the distillation column. The non-condensable gas is fed into the insulation jacket surrounding the bottom of the distillation column, serving as a heat source for heat exchange with the liquid feed inside the column. In this invention, the liquid discharged from the heat source outlet of the insulation jacket is directly discharged from the system and then adsorbed by activated carbon before being discharged from the system.
[0029] According to the present invention, preferably, the water quality conditions of the washing wastewater for producing tetrabromobisphenol A include: bromide ion concentration of 800-1000 mg / L, sulfate concentration of 3000-5000 mg / L, and COD concentration of 2000-3000 mg / L.
[0030] According to the present invention, preferably, the nanofiltration recovery rate of the nanofiltration treatment is 50-70%.
[0031] According to the present invention, preferably, the reverse osmosis recovery rate of the first reverse osmosis treatment is 75-80%.
[0032] According to the present invention, preferably, the evaporation temperature of the evaporation concentration treatment is 90-95°C, and the concentration ratio (referring to the ratio of the total mass of sodium bromide-containing reverse osmosis concentrate to the mass of sodium bromide-containing mother liquor) is 5-10 times.
[0033] According to the present invention, preferably, the concentration of sodium bromide in the sodium bromide-containing mother liquor is 50-100 g / L.
[0034] According to the present invention, preferably, the pH of the solution after mixing sodium bromide mother liquor and acid in the bromine-rich storage tank is 2-4.
[0035] According to the present invention, preferably, the ozone concentration in the ozone oxidation tower is controlled at 80-100 mg / L, and the ozone intake rate is 100-150 Nm³. 3 / h; the temperature inside the ozone oxidation tower is ≤25℃.
[0036] According to the present invention, preferably, the temperature of the feed liquid in the distillation column is 60-70°C; and the bromine extraction rate at the top of the distillation column is ≥80%.
[0037] According to the present invention, preferably, the reverse osmosis recovery rate of the second reverse osmosis treatment is 45-55%.
[0038] According to the present invention, preferably, the reducing agent used in the reduction treatment is sulfite.
[0039] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of this invention are as follows: This invention targets the washing wastewater in the tetrabromobisphenol A production process (the washing wastewater has low organic bromine content, high bromide ion content, and the main salt is sulfate, with relatively low COD, making it suitable for bromine resource recovery). It converts and extracts bromide ions from the washing wastewater into bromine, achieving not only efficient removal of pollutants from the wastewater but also the regeneration and utilization of bromine in the wastewater; specifically: 1. Nanofiltration can remove sulfate and most of the COD from water. The main substance in nanofiltration product water is sodium bromide.
[0040] 2. Sodium bromide can be further concentrated through the first reverse osmosis, reducing the throughput of the MVR evaporator and lowering energy consumption.
[0041] 3. Some organic compounds such as chlorobenzene mixed in with sodium bromide reverse osmosis concentrate undergo azeotropic reaction with water during MVR evaporation, achieving efficient removal of organic impurities. MVR evaporation can further purify and concentrate sodium bromide-containing reverse osmosis concentrate. Through a series of concentrations, the bromide ion concentration can be concentrated to 50-100 g / L. The higher the bromide ion concentration, the better the mass transfer effect of ozone oxidation, thereby reducing the energy consumption of subsequent bromide ion oxidation.
[0042] 4. Utilizing ozone to oxidize bromide ions is more environmentally friendly to workers and the surrounding environment compared to traditional chlorine oxidation. Controlling the pH of the solution entering the ozone oxidation tower ensures that bromide ions are oxidized into elemental bromine, effectively suppressing the side reaction of producing bromate during ozone oxidation. The oxidation of bromide ions and the distillation of bromine are carried out in steps, avoiding ozone decomposition caused by high feed temperature during distillation, thus improving ozone utilization and saving energy.
[0043] 5. The bromate ions generated by ozone oxidation in the distillation column cannot be distilled. After distillation, the residual liquid in the distillation column contains a large amount of bromate ions. After the second reverse osmosis concentration treatment, the bromate ions react with the added sulfite in the reduction reaction tank to generate elemental bromine, which can be further sent to the distillation column for distillation, thus improving the bromine extraction rate.
[0044] 6. Simultaneously, the permeate from RO (reverse osmosis) and the condensate from the secondary steam generated by MVR evaporation can be used as cooling water for the distillation column (for condensing the gas at the top of the distillation column), reducing water waste. The non-condensable gas generated by MVR evaporation is introduced into the insulation jacket at the bottom of the distillation column to heat the feed liquid inside the column, realizing the utilization of waste heat.
