Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater phosphorus recovery technology. Specifically, this invention relates to a method and system for recovering phosphorus from phosphorus-containing wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphorus is a key element for maintaining ecosystems and industrial production, and it is also a non-renewable and scarce resource. However, the direct discharge of large amounts of phosphorus-containing wastewater without effective treatment has led to increasingly prominent eutrophication problems in water bodies, causing environmental issues such as cyanobacterial blooms and water quality deterioration. On the other hand, global phosphate rock resources are facing the risk of depletion, and the recycling of phosphorus resources has become a research hotspot in the fields of environment and resources.

[0003] Currently, the main method for phosphorus recovery from water is chemical precipitation, among which struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate, MgNH4PO4·6H2O) precipitation has attracted widespread attention because it can simultaneously remove phosphorus and recover high-value phosphorus. However, traditional struvite precipitation has the following problems: 1) The generated struvite particles are small (0.5-20μm), with poor settling performance, which easily leads to excessive phosphorus concentration in the effluent; 2) A large amount of coagulant needs to be added to promote sedimentation, resulting in high reagent costs; 3) The settled sludge contains a large number of impurities, making it difficult to directly utilize resources and resulting in high disposal costs. Therefore, developing a high-efficiency, low-cost phosphorus recovery technology that can achieve resource recycling is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In some embodiments, in step (1), when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is high-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration ≥30mg / L, the specific process of step (1) is as follows: adjust the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater to 8.0-9.0, and then add ammonium salt and magnesium salt to the phosphorus-containing wastewater and stir to react, generating magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate; then mix the magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate with polyaluminum chloride to enhance flocculation and promote the sedimentation of the magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate; And / or, when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is low-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration of <30mg / L, the specific process of step (1) is as follows: adjust the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater to 8.0-9.0, and then add polyaluminum chloride to the phosphorus-containing wastewater for pre-flocculation to generate aluminum hydroxide flocs; then mix the aluminum hydroxide flocs with ammonium salt and magnesium salt to induce crystallization reaction to generate magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate.

[0007] In some embodiments, in step (1), the ammonium salt is ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate, and the magnesium salt is magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate; And / or, the NH4 in the ammonium salt + With the Mg in the magnesium salt 2+ PO4 in the phosphorus-containing wastewater 3- The molar ratio is (1.0-1.3):(1.0-1.3):1.

[0008] In some embodiments, in step (1), the dosage of polyaluminum chloride is 10-50 mg / L.

[0009] In some embodiments, when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is high-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration ≥30mg / L, the stirring speed of the stirring reaction in step (1) is 100-300rpm; And / or, when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is low-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration of <30mg / L, the time for the induced crystallization reaction in step (1) is ≥25 minutes, and the particle size of the aluminum hydroxide flocs is >100μm.

[0011] In some embodiments, in step (3), the amount of CO2 gas introduced is such that the pH of the sodium aluminate solution is 5.0-6.0; And / or, the regeneration rate of the polyaluminum chloride is >80%.

[0012] A second aspect of the present invention also provides a system for recovering phosphorus from phosphorus-containing wastewater. The system is used to implement the method described in the first aspect and includes a reaction unit, a strong alkali regeneration unit, and a polyaluminum chloride regeneration unit connected in sequence; wherein the reaction unit includes a crystallization tank and a coagulation tank.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. These embodiments are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] In this invention, when a value is described as a range, it should be understood that such disclosure includes disclosure of all possible subranges within that range, as well as specific numerical values ​​falling within that range, regardless of whether specific numerical values ​​or specific subranges are explicitly specified.

[0023] In this invention, the terms “comprising” and “including” and their various variations mean that other elements or wholes may be included but are not specifically described.

[0024] In this invention, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0025] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for recovering phosphorus from phosphorus-containing wastewater, comprising the following steps: (1) Adjust the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater to 8.0-9.0, and then add ammonium salt, magnesium salt and polyaluminum chloride to the phosphorus-containing wastewater to obtain magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate; (2) Add sodium hydroxide solution to the magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate to carry out aluminum ion dissolution reaction. After the reaction is completed, the reaction product is separated and purified to obtain high-purity magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals and sodium aluminate solution. (3) CO2 gas is introduced into the sodium aluminate solution to neutralize and regenerate it into polyaluminum chloride for reuse.

[0026] In some embodiments, in step (1), when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is high-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration ≥30mg / L, the specific process of step (1) is as follows: adjust the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater to 8.0-9.0, and then add ammonium salt and magnesium salt to the phosphorus-containing wastewater and stir to react, generating magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate; then mix the magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate with polyaluminum chloride to enhance flocculation and promote the sedimentation of the magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate; And / or, when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is low-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration of <30mg / L, the specific process of step (1) is as follows: adjust the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater to 8.0-9.0, and then add polyaluminum chloride to the phosphorus-containing wastewater for pre-flocculation to generate aluminum hydroxide flocs; then mix the aluminum hydroxide flocs with ammonium salt and magnesium salt to induce crystallization reaction to generate magnesium ammonium phosphate precipitate.

[0027] The principle of this invention is as follows: Struvite, scientifically known as magnesium ammonium phosphate (MgNH4PO4·6H2O), abbreviated as MAP, is a white powdery inorganic crystalline mineral with a relative density of 1.71. In wastewater treatment, the struvite precipitation method involves adding magnesium ions to wastewater containing phosphates and ammonia nitrogen, reacting to form insoluble struvite precipitate, thus achieving nitrogen and phosphorus removal from the wastewater. Compared to the traditional activated sludge process, this method can reduce sludge volume by approximately 49% and is of great significance for the recovery of ammonia nitrogen resources.

[0028] In aqueous solution, the formation process of struvite can be described by the following three chemical equations:

[0029] The formation of struvite is greatly affected by the pH value of the aqueous solution. When the Mg content in the solution increases... 2+ NH4 + PO4 3- When the activity product is greater than the solubility product of struvite (the solubility product constant of struvite, Ksp, is 3.89 × 10⁻⁶), -10 -7.08×10 -14 ( ), which will spontaneously precipitate to form guano.

[0030] In wastewater with high phosphorus content, the high concentration of phosphate leads to rapid crystallization upon the addition of magnesium and ammonium salts, resulting in a large number of small struvite particles. These small struvite particles are difficult to settle and separate. Therefore, the recovery method in this invention utilizes the coagulation effect of polyaluminum chloride (PAC) to transform the small struvite particles into flocs larger than 100 μm (aggregates formed by the coagulation of tiny struvite particles under PAC). This ensures complete struvite sedimentation, thereby achieving a high phosphorus removal rate.

[0031] In wastewater with low phosphorus content, the concentration of phosphate is too low to reach the Ksp required for struvite precipitation, resulting in insufficient crystallization kinetics and a very slow crystallization process. Therefore, polyaluminum chloride (PAC) is used to regulate the crystallization mode from homogeneous crystallization (which occurs in high-phosphorus wastewater) to heterogeneous crystallization (i.e., seed-induced crystallization) that can occur even under low supersaturation. The role of PAC in this process is to hydrolyze into flocs larger than 100 μm (mainly composed of aluminum hydroxide). These flocs act as seed crystals for struvite crystallization, providing a reaction site for subsequent struvite crystallization and adsorbing and enriching phosphate ions. This allows for the subsequent addition of ammonium and magnesium salts, resulting in Mg2+ crystallization. 2+ NH4 + and PO4 3- The three substances can induce crystallization on the surface of the floc, and then the floc will quickly settle down along with the struvite aggregates that have crystallized on the surface, thereby achieving phosphorus removal.

[0032] The precipitated sludge obtained after treatment with ammonium salts, magnesium salts, and polyaluminum chloride in step (1) is further treated with a high-concentration sodium hydroxide solution: the aluminum salts in the sludge react with sodium hydroxide to generate sodium aluminate. The sodium aluminate solution can be adjusted by pH to convert aluminum ions into a reusable aluminum salt solution (AlCl3), which can be reused as a raw material for PAC preparation. At the same time, the struvite in the sludge does not react due to its strong alkali resistance, while the attached aluminum salts are dissolved by the sodium hydroxide solution, improving the purity of the struvite product. The separated struvite has a purity of ≥92% and can be used as a slow-release fertilizer or chemical raw material (such as for the preparation of phosphoric acid).

[0033] In some embodiments, in step (1), the ammonium salt is ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate, and the magnesium salt is magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate; And / or, the NH4 in the ammonium salt + With the Mg in the magnesium salt 2+ PO4 in the phosphorus-containing wastewater 3- The molar ratio is (1.0-1.3):(1.0-1.3):1.

[0034] In some embodiments, in step (1), the dosage of polyaluminum chloride is 10-50 mg / L.

[0035] In some embodiments, when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is high-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration ≥30mg / L, the stirring speed of the stirring reaction in step (1) is 100-300rpm; And / or, when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is low-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration of <30mg / L, the time for the induced crystallization reaction in step (1) is ≥25 minutes, and the particle size of the aluminum hydroxide flocs is >100μm.

[0036] In some embodiments, in step (2), the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 4-6 mol / L; And / or, the reaction time for the aluminum ion dissolution reaction is 30-60 minutes; And / or, the purity of the high-purity magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals is ≥92%, which can be directly used as a slow-release fertilizer (compliant with GB / T34763-2017 standard).

[0037] In some embodiments, in step (3), the amount of CO2 gas introduced is such that the pH of the sodium aluminate solution is 5.0-6.0, so that the aluminum component in the sodium aluminate solution is converted into a reusable PAC solution, thereby realizing the recycling of resources; And / or, the regeneration rate of the polyaluminum chloride is >80%.

[0038] A second aspect of the present invention also provides a system for recovering phosphorus from phosphorus-containing wastewater. The system is used to implement the method described in the first aspect and includes a reaction unit, a strong alkali regeneration unit, and a polyaluminum chloride regeneration unit connected in sequence. The reaction unit includes a crystallization tank 1 and a coagulation tank 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is high-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration ≥30mg / L, the crystallization tank 1 is connected in sequence to the coagulation tank 2, the strong alkali regeneration unit, and the polyaluminum chloride regeneration unit; And / or, when the phosphorus-containing wastewater is low-phosphorus wastewater with a phosphorus concentration of <30mg / L, the coagulation tank 2 is sequentially connected to the crystallization tank 1, the strong alkali regeneration unit, and the polyaluminum chloride regeneration unit.

[0040] In some embodiments, the crystallization tank 1 is equipped with a pH probe 101 and a stirrer 102; And / or, the bottom of the coagulation tank 2 is provided with an inclined plate sedimentation zone with a surface load ≤ 0.8m. 3 / m 2 h; And / or, the strong alkali regeneration unit includes an alkali-resistant reactor 3 and a centrifuge 4, wherein the alkali-resistant reactor 3 is made of 316L stainless steel and has an alkali concentration ≥6mol / L; And / or, the polyaluminum chloride regeneration unit includes a carbonization tower 5 and an online pH controller 6.
