Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water treatment and resource utilization technology, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for the resource utilization of mine water. Background Technology

[0002] Mine water is groundwater generated during coal mining. It is produced in large quantities and has complex quality, containing a large amount of dissolved salts, including monovalent ions (such as Na+, K+, Cl-) and divalent ions (such as Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42-). Direct discharge not only wastes water resources but also pollutes surrounding water bodies and soil. If recycled, its high salt content leads to severe scaling problems in subsequent treatment processes, especially in reverse osmosis systems. Scaling reduces membrane permeate flux and separation efficiency, increasing operating costs and maintenance complexity.

[0003] Currently, commonly used technologies for mine water concentration treatment include multi-stage reverse osmosis and evaporation crystallization. However, when treating high-salinity mine water, single reverse osmosis technology poses a significant risk of scaling in the second and subsequent reverse osmosis units due to the high hardness of the feed water (high content of divalent ions), requiring the addition of large amounts of scale inhibitors. This not only increases treatment costs but may also introduce new pollutants. On the other hand, directly using evaporation crystallization to treat mine water results in extremely high energy consumption and poor economic efficiency due to the large water volume and relatively low salt concentration.

[0004] Nanofiltration, a membrane separation technology situated between ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, exhibits a high rejection rate for divalent ions but a lower rejection rate for monovalent ions, enabling effective separation of these two types of ions. Bipolar membrane electrodialysis, on the other hand, can directly convert salt solutions into corresponding acids and bases, offering advantages such as being green and highly efficient. Rationally coupling these technologies with reverse osmosis and evaporative crystallization holds promise for solving scale inhibition problems in mine water concentration processes and achieving efficient recovery and utilization of salt resources. However, mature and systematic technical solutions for this coupling process have not yet been developed. Summary of the Invention

Polyaluminum chloride coagulant was added to the mine water at a dosage of 30 mg / L. After thorough stirring, the water was allowed to settle in a sedimentation tank for 1.5 hours. The effluent from the sedimentation tank was then filtered through a quartz sand filter at a filtration rate of 8 m / h. The filtered effluent was then placed in a disinfection tank and disinfected with sodium hypochlorite at a dosage of 2 mg / L, resulting in pretreated effluent with a suspended solids content ≤5 mg / L and a COD of 0.5 mg / L. cr ≤20mg / L, the microbial indicators meet the Class I water quality standards of the "Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard".

[0053] Step 2: First-stage reverse osmosis treatment The pretreated effluent obtained in step 1 is fed into a primary reverse osmosis system using spiral wound reverse osmosis membrane elements. The operating pressure is 2.0 MPa, the temperature is 23℃, and the water recovery rate is 65%, yielding primary reverse osmosis desalinated water and primary reverse osmosis concentrate. The total salt content of the primary reverse osmosis desalinated water is ≤70 mg / L, and it can be directly used as recycled water in coal mine production. The total salt content of the primary reverse osmosis concentrate is 9800 mg / L, of which Na... + 1350mg / L, K + 210 mg / L, Ca2+ 680 mg / L, Mg 2+ 320 mg / L, Cl - 1750 mg / L, SO4 2- 2300mg / L.

[0061] Step 3: Nanofiltration separation The first-stage reverse osmosis concentrate obtained in step 2 was fed into a nanofiltration system using a high ion-selective nanofiltration membrane. The operating pressure was 1.5 MPa, the temperature was 25°C, and the water recovery rate was 80%. Separation was performed to obtain nanofiltration desalinated water and nanofiltration concentrate. Analysis showed that the nanofiltration desalinated water mainly contained monovalent ions, including Na+. + 2400mg / L, K + 380 mg / L, Ca 2+ 35 mg / L, Mg 2+ 20 mg / L, total divalent ion content 55 mg / L; nanofiltration concentrate mainly contains divalent ions, including Ca 2+ 4900 mg / L, Mg 2+ 2320 mg / L, SO4 2- 16200 mg / L, total divalent ion content 23420 mg / L.

[0062] Step 4: Secondary Reverse Osmosis Deep Concentration The nanofiltration desalinated water obtained in step 3 is fed into a secondary reverse osmosis system using disc tube reverse osmosis membrane elements. The operating pressure is 6.0 MPa, the temperature is 25℃, and the water recovery rate is 85%, yielding secondary reverse osmosis desalinated water and secondary reverse osmosis concentrate. The total salt content of the secondary reverse osmosis desalinated water is ≤120 mg / L, and it can be combined with the primary reverse osmosis desalinated water as recycled water. During the operation of the secondary reverse osmosis system, only a small amount of antiscalant (5 mg / L) is added, which allows it to operate stably without significant scaling. The total salt content of the secondary reverse osmosis concentrate is 95000 mg / L, mainly consisting of monovalent salts.

[0063] Step 5: Resource Utilization of Secondary Reverse Osmosis Concentrate Evaporation and Crystallization The secondary reverse osmosis concentrate obtained in step 4 is fed into a multi-effect evaporator crystallizer at an operating temperature of 110℃ and an evaporation rate of 18 kg / (m³). 2 •h), sodium chloride crystals are obtained by evaporation and crystallization, with a crystal purity of ≥99%, which can be used as food-grade salt raw material; the steam generated by evaporation and crystallization is condensed to obtain condensate water with a total salt content of ≤60mg / L, which can be used as recycled water.

[0064] Step 6: Soften and then concentrate the nanofiltration concentrate. The nanofiltration concentrate obtained in step 3 is fed into a concentrate softening treatment system. After the scale-causing ions are removed from the permeate, it is concentrated again using a three-stage reverse osmosis unit.

[0065] Step 7: Bipolar membrane acid and alkali production Water concentrated by a three-stage reverse osmosis unit is fed into a bipolar membrane electrodialysis system. The membrane stack uses a combination of homogeneous ion exchange membranes and bipolar membranes, with an operating voltage of 50V and an operating current density of 100A / m³. 2 The process converts divalent salts in nanofiltration concentrate into a mixed alkaline solution of sulfuric acid, calcium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide. The resulting sulfuric acid has a concentration of 1.8 mol / L, and the calcium hydroxide-magnesium hydroxide mixed alkaline solution has a concentration of 1.5 mol / L. The sulfuric acid can be used in the production of surrounding chemical enterprises, and the mixed alkaline solution can be used as an auxiliary treatment for coagulation in mine water pretreatment, thus realizing the recycling of resources.
