These processes produce saline waste liquids and solids containing organic matter and other toxic and harmful components, which are then treated to form this type of waste salt.

[0021] This application provides a separation and purification system suitable for mixed waste salt of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate. The separation and purification system mainly uses a chemical impurity removal module consisting of an oxidation tank 5, a magnesium removal reaction tank 6, a fluorine and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8, a heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9, and a sulfur removal reaction tank 10 arranged in sequence to effectively remove impurities (including organic matter, nitrogen, magnesium, fluorine, phosphorus, heavy metals, calcium and other elements) from the mixed waste salt. With the subsequent membrane purification module and product separation module, not only is the efficient separation of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate achieved, but the quality of the obtained product is also significantly improved, meeting the requirements of industrial use.
[0022] In addition, the separation and purification system for mixed sodium chloride-sodium sulfate waste salt provided in this application may also have the following additional technical features: In some specific embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pyrolysis treatment device 41 is connected to the salt dissolving tank 2 via the conveying device 1, and the salt dissolving tank 2 is connected to the chemical impurity removal module via the No. 1 brine pump 3. Thus, the mixed sodium chloride-sodium sulfate waste salt to be treated, after pyrolysis treatment, initially achieves the removal of organic matter, facilitating subsequent chemical impurity removal.
[0023] In some specific embodiments of this application, the solution in the mixed waste salt pyrolysis module is introduced into the oxidation tank 5 after passing through the filtration device 4; the oxidation tank 5 is connected to the magnesium removal reaction tank 6, and the solution in the magnesium removal reaction tank 6 is sequentially introduced into the fluoride and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8, the heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9, and the desulfurization reaction tank 10, which are arranged in series, via a brine pump 7 (#2); the desulfurization reaction tank 10 is connected to the buffer tank 17, which is connected to the brine filter press 19 (#2) via a brine pump 18 (#3), and the brine filter press 19 is connected to the filtrate pool 20; the filtrate pool 20 is connected to the flocculation tank 22 via a brine pump 21 (#4), and the flocculation tank 22 is sequentially connected to the sedimentation tank 23 and the pH adjustment tank 25. Thus, this application effectively removes nitrogen, magnesium, fluorine, phosphorus, heavy metals, calcium, and other elements through the above-mentioned specific sequence of chemical impurity removal steps, improving the quality of the obtained product.
[0024] In some specific embodiments of this application, the sedimentation tank 23 is connected to the sludge tank 12 via sludge pump 24 (No. 4). The magnesium removal reaction tank 6, the fluoride and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8, the heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9, and the sulfur removal reaction tank 10 are all connected to the sludge tank 12 via sludge pump 11 (No. 1). The sludge tank 12 is connected to brine filter press 14 (No. 1) via sludge pump 13 (No. 2). The brine filter press 14 is connected to the sludge filter press 15 (No. 15). The sludge filter press 15 is connected to the salt dissolving tank 2 (No. 3) via sludge pump 16 (No. 3). This achieves secondary treatment of the sludge and improves the utilization rate of the sodium chloride-sodium sulfate mixed waste salt.
[0025] In some specific embodiments of this application, the pH adjustment tank 25 is connected to the intermediate water tank 26, and the intermediate water tank 26 is connected to the ultrafiltration membrane device 28 and the secondary nanofiltration membrane device 29 in sequence via a No. 5 brine pump 27. This allows the chemically purified solution to enter the subsequent membrane purification module.
[0026] In some specific embodiments of this application, the secondary nanofiltration membrane device 29 is connected to the concentrate tank 30, the concentrate tank 30 is connected to the freeze crystallizer 32 via a concentrate transfer pump 31, and the freeze crystallizer 32 is sequentially connected to the centrifuge 33 and the nanofiltration membrane device 34. This application obtains sodium sulfate decahydrate by separating sodium sulfate decahydrate from nanofiltration concentrate through methods such as freeze crystallization, thus obtaining the sodium sulfate decahydrate product.
[0027] In some specific embodiments of this application, the nanofiltration membrane device 34 is connected to the secondary brine treatment device 35, which is connected to the ion-exchange membrane electrolysis device 36; the secondary nanofiltration membrane device 29 is sequentially connected to the activated carbon adsorption tower 37, the macroporous adsorption resin tower 38, and the product water tank 39, which is connected to the salt dissolving tank 2 via a product water transfer pump 40. Thus, a high-quality sodium chloride product is obtained.
[0028] In some specific embodiments of this application, the above-mentioned separation and purification system for mixed sodium chloride and sodium sulfate waste salts includes the following processes during actual operation: The mixed waste salt of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate to be treated is pyrolyzed in pyrolysis treatment device 41 to obtain salt residue. It is then conveyed to salt dissolving tank 2 by a conveying device 1 such as a screw conveyor. Water is added to salt dissolving tank 2 and the mixture is stirred. The sodium chloride and sodium sulfate in the salt residue gradually dissolve in salt dissolving tank 2 with stirring. A brine pump 3 is used to pump the solution from salt dissolving tank 2 into a filtration device 4 such as a carbon blackboard frame filter press for filtration (the resulting filter residue is processed externally). The filtrate enters oxidation tank 5 and reacts with added oxidants such as sodium hypochlorite to remove nitrogen-containing compounds (mainly small molecule nitro compounds, amides / carbamates, amines, etc., such as nitromethane, formamide, methylpyridine, methylamine, etc.) and organic matter (mainly amino / amide compounds, hydroxyl / aldehyde compounds, double / triple bond compounds, sulfur compounds, etc., such as proteins, benzene, etc.) from the solution. After the oxidation reaction (containing phenols, unsaturated fatty acids, thiols, etc.), the solution flows by gravity into the magnesium removal reaction tank 6 to react with the added calcium hydroxide and generate magnesium hydroxide precipitate. Then, the solution in the magnesium removal reaction tank 6 is pumped into the fluoride and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8, the heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9, and the sulfur removal reaction tank 10 by the No. 2 brine pump 7. The solution reacts with the calcium chloride pumped into the fluoride and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8, the sodium sulfide and sodium carbonate pumped into the heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9, and the ferric chloride pumped into the sulfur removal reaction tank 10, respectively. Each of these reactions produces calcium chloride and calcium phosphate precipitates (reaction products in the fluoride and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8), heavy metal precipitates and calcium carbonate precipitates (reaction products in the heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9), and ferric sulfide precipitates (reaction products in the sulfur removal reaction tank 10). The sludge precipitate in the magnesium removal reaction tank 6 and the sludge precipitates in the fluoride and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8, the heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9, and the sulfur removal reaction tank 10 are pumped into the sludge tank 12 by the No. 1 sludge pump 11. The sludge in sludge tank 12 is pumped into brine filter press 14 by sludge pump 2#13 for filtration (the resulting filter residue is outsourced for processing). The filtrate enters sludge filter press 15 and is sent into salt dissolving tank 2 by sludge pump 3#16.The solution after passing through the desulfurization reaction tank 10 enters the buffer tank 17, and is then pumped into the brine filter press 19 by the #3 brine pump 18 for filtration (the resulting filter residue is processed externally). The filtrate enters the filtrate tank 20, and is then pumped into the flocculation tank 22 by the #4 brine pump 21, where a coagulant aid (such as polyaluminum chloride (PAC) or polyacrylamide (PAM)) has been added. After a certain flocculation reaction time, the solution flows by gravity into the sedimentation tank 23 for sludge sedimentation. The settled sludge is then discharged... The sludge is pumped into sludge tank 12 by sludge pump #4 (24). The solution flowing out of sedimentation tank 23 enters pH adjustment tank 25 with added hydrochloric acid. After the pH is adjusted by staying in the adjustment tank for a period of time, it flows by gravity into intermediate water tank 26. The solution is then passed through ultrafiltration membrane device 28 containing an ultrafiltration membrane and secondary nanofiltration membrane device 29 containing a secondary nanofiltration membrane to remove some soluble organic matter (this organic matter mainly includes small molecule fluorinated organic matter, small molecule oxygenated organic matter, and chlorinated byproducts such as nitro compounds) by brine pump #5 (27). The nanofiltration concentrate contains methane, acetic acid, propionic acid, chloroacetic acid, and some dissolved salts (mainly divalent / polyvalent salts and heavy metal salts such as Na2SO4, CaCl2, CdSO4, etc.). The concentrate is stored in the concentrate tank 30 and pumped into the freeze crystallizer 32 by the concentrate transfer pump 31. The sodium sulfate decahydrate and sodium chloride solution precipitated from the freeze flow together into the centrifuge 33 for solid-liquid separation. The separated solid is sodium sulfate decahydrate. The mother liquor after separation is sent to the nanofiltration membrane device 34 containing a nanofiltration membrane for further separation. The nanofiltration concentrate is recycled back into the freeze crystallizer 32. The nanofiltration permeate is treated by a secondary brine treatment device 35 (mainly containing chelating resin) with the addition of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Finally, sodium chloride product is obtained by the ion-exchange membrane electrolysis device 36. After passing through the secondary nanofiltration membrane device 29, the nanofiltration permeate is successively treated by the activated carbon adsorption tower 37 and the macroporous adsorption resin tower 38. The solution enters the permeate tank 39 and is finally sent to the salt dissolution tank 2 by the permeate transfer pump 40 as a solution to dissolve salt residue. This achieves the separation and purification of mixed sodium chloride and sodium sulfate waste salts, resulting in a product with an inorganic pollutant content of less than 0.2% by mass, and high purity sodium sulfate decahydrate and sodium chloride products. Specifically, the dehydrated sodium sulfate product meets the T / ZGZS0303-2023 standard for "Regenerated Industrial Salt - Sodium Sulfate", and its sodium chloride content is not higher than 0.5% by mass. Meanwhile, the activated carbon adsorption tower 37 and macroporous resin adsorption tower 38 require backwashing after a period of use to restore their adsorption performance; the ultrafiltration membrane device 28, the secondary nanofiltration membrane device 29, and the nanofiltration membrane device 34 also require backwashing after a period of use to restore their filtration performance.
[0029] Secondly, this application proposes a separation and purification method suitable for mixed sodium chloride and sodium sulfate waste salts. This method employs the separation and purification system for mixed sodium chloride and sodium sulfate waste salts described in the first aspect. Therefore, this separation and purification method significantly improves the quality of the obtained product.

The residence time is 2 hours, and the amount of calcium hydroxide added is Mg. 2+ 1.05 times the molar mass. Then, the solution in the magnesium removal reaction tank 6 is pumped into the fluoride and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8, the heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9, and the sulfur removal reaction tank 10 via brine pump #2 7, respectively, and reacted with the calcium chloride (added at 2.94 times the amount of F) pumped into the fluoride and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8. - +1.8x PO4 3 The reaction process involves: 1 hour of reaction of sodium sulfide and sodium carbonate (sodium sulfide added at 1.2 times the molar amount of heavy metal ions and sodium carbonate added at 1.1 times the molar amount of calcium ions) pumped into heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9; 1 hour of reaction of ferric chloride (added at 1.0 times the molar amount of sulfide) pumped into desulfurization reaction tank 10; and 1 hour of reaction of ferric chloride. Each reaction produces calcium chloride and calcium phosphate precipitates (reaction products in fluorine and phosphorus removal reaction tank 8), heavy metal precipitates and calcium carbonate precipitates (reaction products in heavy metal and calcium removal reaction tank 9), and ferric sulfide precipitates (reaction products in desulfurization reaction tank 10).
[0038] The sludge sediment from magnesium removal reactor 6, along with the sludge sediment from fluoride and phosphorus removal reactor 8, heavy metal and calcium removal reactor 9, and sulfur removal reactor 10, is pumped into sludge tank 12 via sludge pump 11. The sludge in sludge tank 12 is then pumped into brine filter press 14 via sludge pump 2 (the resulting filter residue is outsourced for processing). The filtrate enters sludge filter press 15 and is then pumped into salt dissolution tank 2 via sludge pump 3. The solution after passing through the desulfurization reaction tank 10 enters the buffer tank 17, and is then pumped into the brine filter press 19 by the brine pump 18 (the resulting filter residue is processed externally). The filtrate enters the filtrate tank 20, and is then pumped into the flocculation tank 22 by the brine pump 21, which contains coagulant aids (polyaluminum chloride and polyacrylamide, with polyaluminum chloride added at 15 mg / L and polyacrylamide added at 2 mg / L). After a certain period of flocculation, the solution flows by gravity into the sedimentation tank 23 for sludge sedimentation. The settled sludge is then pumped into the sludge tank 12 by the sludge pump 24. The solution flowing out of the sedimentation tank 23 enters the pH adjustment tank 25, which contains hydrochloric acid. After the pH is adjusted to 7-8 in the adjustment tank for a period of time, the solution flows by gravity into the intermediate water tank 26.
[0039] The solution in the intermediate water tank 26 is sequentially passed through an ultrafiltration membrane device 28 containing an ultrafiltration membrane and a secondary nanofiltration membrane device 29 containing a secondary nanofiltration membrane to remove some soluble organic matter and some dissolved salts. The nanofiltration concentrate is stored in a concentrate tank 30. The concentrate is then pumped into a cryogenic crystallizer 32 by a transfer pump 31 (the operating conditions of the cryogenic crystallizer 32 include: operating temperature -2℃, 101.3 kPa, crystallization time 2h, 50 rpm). The sodium sulfate decahydrate and sodium chloride solution precipitated from the freeze-drying process flow together into a centrifuge. Solid-liquid separation is performed at unit 33, and the separated solid is sodium sulfate decahydrate. The mother liquor after separation is sent to nanofiltration membrane unit 34 containing a nanofiltration membrane for further separation. The nanofiltration concentrate is recycled into the cryogenic crystallizer 32. The nanofiltration permeate passes through a secondary brine treatment unit 35 (mainly containing chelating resin, operating parameters include: countercurrent, flow rate 10 BV / h, temperature 40℃, operating pressure 0.1 MPa) with added sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Finally, it passes through an ion-exchange membrane electrolysis unit 36 (operating parameters include: operating temperature 85℃, current density 4 KA / m³). 2Sodium chloride is produced by a process with a cell voltage of 3.0V / single cell. The nanofiltration permeate after passing through a two-stage nanofiltration membrane device 29 sequentially enters an activated carbon adsorption tower 37 (operating conditions include: co-current flow, empty bed contact time of 15 min, filtration rate of 8 m / h, operating temperature of 30℃, and operating pressure of 0.1 MPa) and a macroporous adsorption resin tower 38 (operating conditions include: counter-current flow, empty bed contact time of 20 min, filtration rate of 5 m / h, operating temperature of 30℃, and operating pressure of 0.2 MPa). The resulting solution then enters a permeate tank 39 and, via a permeate water transfer pump 40, finally enters a salt dissolving tank 2 to dissolve salt residue. This process achieves the separation and purification of mixed sodium chloride and sodium sulfate waste salts.
[0040] After treatment: the purity of sodium chloride is 99.4%, the TOC content is 2.56 ppm, and other impurities are 0.6%; the sodium sulfate decahydrate content in Glauber's salt is 99.6%, the TOC content is 3.28 ppm, and other impurities are 0.4%. The treated sodium chloride meets the requirements of Grade I industrial dry salt (sodium chloride content ≥98.5%, moisture ≤0.5%, other impurities ≤1%). The dehydrated Glauber's salt meets the requirements of "Regenerated Industrial Salt Sodium Sulfate" (T / ZGZS0303-2023), as shown in Table 1.
[0041] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides a separation and purification system and method suitable for mixed sodium chloride and sodium sulfate waste salts, which differs from Example 1 only in that: (1) The order of setting the magnesium removal reaction tank, fluorine removal and phosphorus removal reaction tank, heavy metal removal and calcium removal reaction tank and sulfur removal reaction tank in the chemical impurity removal module is different. The order adjustment is as follows: "magnesium removal reaction tank - heavy metal removal and calcium removal reaction tank - sulfur removal reaction tank - fluorine removal and phosphorus removal reaction tank".
[0042] After treatment: the TOC content in sodium chloride was 12.6 ppm, and the other impurities were 4.2%; the TOC content in sodium sulfate decahydrate in Glauber's salt was 16.8 ppm, and the other impurities were 3.6%; as shown in Table 1.
