Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of phosphorus recovery and treatment in wastewater, and particularly relates to a method and device for improving phosphorus recovery by CaP crystallization in wastewater using micro-bubbles. BACKGROUND

[0002] Phosphorus is a key factor leading to water eutrophication, and is also a non-renewable and scarce resource. Traditional methods for phosphorus recovery in wastewater, such as chemical precipitation, biological phosphorus removal, and adsorption, essentially only separate phosphorus from the liquid phase, and do not achieve true phosphorus recovery. Chemical crystallization, represented by calcium phosphate crystallization, separates phosphorus from the liquid phase in the form of a poorly soluble phosphate salt, which is true phosphorus recovery.

[0003] The phosphorus concentration in wastewater is relatively high, and when a homogeneous crystallization phosphorus recovery scheme is used, the calcium phosphate crystallization nucleation process is quickly completed once the crystallization agent Ca 2+ The calcium phosphate microcrystals are small in size and have poor sedimentation separation performance, and it is difficult to achieve solid-liquid separation within a limited sedimentation time, which results in a limited calcium phosphate phosphorus recovery rate despite a very high calcium phosphate crystallization rate in wastewater.

[0004] To improve the phosphorus recovery rate of chemical crystallization, a technical solution that can be used is to change the homogeneous crystallization mode to an induced crystallization mode, and to add seed crystals to the phosphorus-containing wastewater to control the particle size of the seed crystals by induced crystallization, improve the particle size of the crystallization product, and achieve the effect of improving the sedimentation performance of the crystallization product. Chinese Invention Patent (CN104973723A) discloses an induced crystallization reactor and a connected solid-liquid separation device, which uses calcite as seed crystals to induce the recovery of phosphorus in wastewater in the form of calcium phosphate crystals, thereby improving the phosphorus recovery rate. Chinese Invention Patent (CN110395822B) discloses a phosphorus recovery method using seed crystals to force calcium phosphate agglomeration crystallization, which improves the phosphorus recovery effect. However, induced crystallization requires the use of a fluidized bed as a reactor, and the seed crystals fed into the fluidized bed are prone to loss during operation, which leads to a continuous decline in the crystallization effect. Currently, there is no treatment for the loss of seed crystals.

[0005] Blowing aeration can strengthen the mass transfer process of a poorly soluble salt crystallization system, promote the agglomeration of crystal nuclei, and thus improve the crystallization rate. Chinese Invention Patent (CN103723874A) discloses a method for efficiently recovering phosphorus from wastewater, which uses blowing aeration to improve the phosphorus recovery rate. However, blowing aeration still cannot effectively solve the problem of poor sedimentation performance of the product in the homogeneous crystallization mode of a poorly soluble salt, and even accelerates the loss of seed crystals in the induced crystallization mode.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new method for recovering phosphorus in wastewater. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, which are exemplary and intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0025] In the present application, in the case of describing a value as a range, it should be understood that such disclosure includes the disclosure of all possible sub-ranges within the range, and the specific numerical values falling within the range, regardless of whether the specific numerical values or specific sub-ranges are explicitly indicated.

[0026] In the present application, the words "comprise" and "include" and their various variants mean that other elements or whole bodies that can be allowed but are not specifically described can be included.

[0027] In the present application, the term "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone.

[0028] In the present application, "CaP crystallization" refers to calcium phosphate crystallization, which is abbreviated as CaP crystallization.

[0029] The present application is based on the discovery and understanding of the inventors on the following facts and problems: The inventors found that when calcium phosphate is used to recover phosphorus in wastewater, although the crystallization rate of phosphorus is high, the recovery rate is often limited. The main reasons are as follows: when a homogeneous crystallization mode is used, the nucleation process of calcium phosphate crystallization cannot be effectively controlled, and a large amount of calcium phosphate microcrystals that are difficult to settle and difficult to separate from the liquid are generated, which weakens the phosphorus recovery effect; when a seed-induced crystallization mode is used, although the control of the nucleation process can be achieved, and the particle size of the crystallization product can be controlled, the seed is easy to be lost from the fluidized bed, which leads to a rapid decrease in the phosphorus recovery rate. Therefore, the key to improving the phosphorus recovery effect of calcium phosphate crystallization in wastewater is to promote the agglomeration and growth of microcrystals, so as to obtain a calcium phosphate crystallization product with controllable particle size and easy solid-liquid separation.

[0030] Based on this, the present application uses the air floatation, stirring and shearing effects of the micro-bubbles released by the high-pressure dissolved gas water to obtain a calcium phosphate crystalline product with controllable particle size and easy solid-liquid separation. First, by controlling the stirring intensity and nucleation reaction time of the calcium phosphate nucleation reaction zone, the effects of improving the yield of calcium phosphate microcrystals and inhibiting the agglomeration of calcium phosphate microcrystals are achieved simultaneously, thereby creating good conditions for the air floatation separation of calcium phosphate microcrystals by micro-bubbles. Second, the micro-bubbles released by the high-pressure dissolved gas water flocculate with the calcium phosphate microcrystals, and the calcium phosphate microcrystals rapidly rise to the floating dregs area at the top of the crystallization air floatation tank under the air floatation effect of the micro-bubbles, thereby realizing efficient and rapid solid-liquid separation. Finally, the calcium phosphate microcrystals gathered in the floating dregs area are agglomerated and matured in the floating dregs area due to the stirring effect of the micro-bubbles and the shearing effect caused by the breaking of the micro-bubbles, thereby obtaining a calcium phosphate crystalline product with a particle size of more than 500 μm. In addition, the particle size of the calcium phosphate crystalline product can be adjusted by controlling the scraping period (i.e. the agglomeration and maturation time) of the floating dregs area surface dregs scraper. The longer the dregs scraper period, the larger the particle size of the calcium phosphate crystalline product.

[0031] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for improving the recovery of phosphorus by CaP crystallization in wastewater by using micro-bubbles, which comprises the following steps: (1) After adjusting the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater to alkaline, the wastewater is mixed with a calcium salt and enters a nucleation reaction zone to perform a nucleation reaction, thereby obtaining wastewater containing calcium phosphate microcrystals, and the wastewater flows into an air floatation zone through a guide area; (2) High-pressure dissolved gas water in a pressure dissolved gas tank is pumped into a perforated pipe at the bottom of the air floatation zone, the perforated pipe releases the high-pressure dissolved gas water to generate micro-bubbles, and then the calcium phosphate microcrystals in the wastewater in the air floatation zone flocculate into groups with the micro-bubbles and float to a floating dregs area with the micro-bubbles; (3) The calcium phosphate microcrystals in the floating dregs area are agglomerated and matured under the stirring and shearing effects caused by the breaking of the micro-bubbles, thereby obtaining calcium phosphate crystals with a target particle size, and the calcium phosphate crystals are scraped to a floating dregs tank by a dregs scraper to realize the recovery of phosphorus; the remaining wastewater after the recovery of phosphorus is discharged through a drainage port at the bottom of the air floatation zone.

[0032] In some embodiments, in the step (1), the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater is adjusted to 9.0-11.0. The inventors have found through research that when the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater is controlled in the range of 9.0-11.0, not only is the generation rate of calcium carbonate microcrystals relatively fast, but also the generated calcium carbonate microcrystals are suitable for air floatation separation; if the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater is lower than 9.0, PO4 3- and Ca 2+ will be sent to the air floatation zone before crystallization; and when the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater is higher than 11.0, part of the calcium phosphate microcrystals will settle before being sent to the air floatation zone; And / or, the calcium salt is one or a mixture of both of CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2, wherein Ca(OH)2 is advantageous in that it can not only provide Ca 2+ , but also adjust the pH of the reaction system, and it is low in price, but because the solubility of Ca(OH)2 is limited, when the phosphorus concentration in the wastewater is high, a higher concentration of Ca 2+ is required, that is, CaCl2 is preferred; And / or, the reaction temperature of the nucleation reaction is room temperature, and the reaction time is 30-60 s; and the inventors have found that if the reaction time of the nucleation reaction is less than 30 s, PO4 3- and Ca 2+ crystallization is not sufficient; but if the reaction time of the nucleation reaction is more than 60 s, part of the calcium phosphate microcrystals begin to agglomerate, which weakens the subsequent air floatation efficiency, therefore, the inventors control the reaction time of the nucleation reaction in the range of 30-60 s.

[0033] In some embodiments, in step (2), the dissolved gas pressure of the pressure dissolved gas tank is 0.3-0.5 MPa, so that the diameter of the micro-bubbles generated is about 30 μm; And / or, the gas-water volume ratio in the air floatation zone is 10-15%:1, which can ensure that the calcium phosphate microcrystals in the wastewater obtain a good air floatation effect.

[0034] In some embodiments, in step (2), the hydraulic retention time of the air floatation zone is 1-20 min.

[0035] In some embodiments, in step (3), the agglomeration and maturation time is ≥6 h, so that the average particle size of the recovered calcium phosphate crystals can be stabilized at more than 500 μm, the solid-liquid separation effect is better, and thus the recovery effect of phosphorus in the wastewater is improved.

[0036] Further, the specific process of step (3) is as follows: the calcium phosphate microcrystals obtained in step (2) are gathered in the dross area under the action of air floatation, and then under the stirring action of the micro-bubbles and the shearing action caused by the breakage of the micro-bubbles, part of the microcrystals agglomerate into larger crystal nuclei, that is, the agglomeration process; another part of the microcrystals dissolve, and the generated crystal-forming ions (PO4 3- and Ca 2+ ) occur surface crystallization on the surface of the aforementioned crystal nuclei, that is, the maturation process. Then, by adjusting the agglomeration and maturation time of the microcrystals in the dross area, the particle size of the crystallization product is controlled. When the average particle size of the crystallization product reaches a preset value, a surface dross scraper is started to scrape the crystallization product to a dross discharge tank, and thus the recovery and utilization of phosphorus is realized.

[0037] In the second aspect, as Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application also proposes a device for improving CaP crystallization and phosphorus recovery of sewage by using microbubbles, which is used to implement the method of the first aspect and comprises a lye storage tank 1, a calcium salt storage tank 2, a crystallization air flotation tank 3, a pressure dissolved air tank 4, a slag scraper 5 and a slag tank 6; the crystallization air flotation tank 3 is internally provided with a nucleation reaction zone 301, a flow guide zone 302 and an air flotation zone 303 in sequence along the length direction, and the top of the air flotation zone 303 is provided with a slag zone 304; the bottom of the air flotation zone 303 is provided with a plurality of parallel arranged perforated pipes 3031, the inlet of the perforated pipe 3031 is communicated with the outlet of the pressure dissolved air tank 4; the outlet of the lye storage tank 1 is communicated with the bottom inlet of the nucleation reaction zone 301, and the outlet of the calcium salt storage tank 2 is communicated with the bottom inlet of the nucleation reaction zone 301.

[0038] It should be noted that the alkali solution in the lye storage tank 1 is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can store lye according to actual needs, for example, the alkali solution in the lye storage tank 1 can use NaOH solution, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the height ratio of the air flotation zone 303 to the slag zone 304 is 3:1; and the length-height ratio of the air flotation zone 303 is not less than 4. By controlling the length-height ratio of the air flotation zone and the height ratio of the air flotation zone to the slag zone, sufficient air flotation time can be ensured, and the stability of the water flow can be ensured.

[0041] In some embodiments, the nucleation reaction zone 301 and the flow guide zone 302 are separated by a baffle 305, the flow guide zone 302 and the air flotation zone 303 are separated by a perforated plate 306, and the middle and lower parts of the perforated plate 306 are provided with a plurality of water holes. By providing the flow guide zone, the downward flow can be adjusted to a stable horizontal flow; and the provision of the flow guide zone can also avoid the short flow phenomenon between the nucleation reaction zone and the air flotation zone.

[0042] In some embodiments, the nucleation reaction zone 301 is provided with a stirring mechanism 3011, and the stirring speed of the nucleation reaction zone 301 is 300-500 rpm. The mechanical stirring promotes the mixing of phosphate ions and calcium salt in the sewage, and then promotes the nucleation reaction to generate calcium phosphate microcrystals.

[0043] In some embodiments, a water pump 7 is arranged on the connecting pipeline between the outlet of the pressure dissolved air tank 4 and the inlet of the perforated pipe 3031, and is used to pump the high-pressure dissolved air water in the pressure dissolved air tank 4 into the perforated pipe 3031.

Claims

1. A method for improving CaP crystalline phosphorus recovery from wastewater using microbubbles, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: (1) After adjusting the pH of the phosphorus-containing wastewater to alkaline, it is mixed with calcium salt and enters the nucleation reaction zone to carry out the nucleation reaction, resulting in wastewater containing calcium phosphate microcrystals, which then flows into the flotation zone after passing through the guide zone. (2) The high-pressure dissolved air water in the pressure dissolved air tank is pumped into the perforated pipe at the bottom of the air flotation zone. The perforated pipe releases the high-pressure dissolved air water and generates microbubbles. Then, the calcium phosphate microcrystals in the wastewater in the air flotation zone flocculate with the microbubbles and float to the scum zone with the microbubbles. (3) The calcium phosphate microcrystals in the scum zone agglomerate and mature under the shearing action caused by the stirring and rupture of the microbubbles, and obtain calcium phosphate crystals of the target particle size. They are then scraped into the scum tank by the scum scraper to realize phosphorus recovery. The remaining wastewater after phosphorus recovery is discharged through the bottom drain of the flotation zone.
