TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of produced water resource utilization, and particularly relates to an adsorption / segmented cyclic concentration desorption method and device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the importance of lithium resources and the increase in market demand, oil and gas field produced water lithium extraction has attracted more and more attention at home and abroad due to its advantages of good implementation of industrial foundation, pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and good resource utilization effect. Oil and gas field produced water lithium extraction is still in its infancy, and current pilot tests have proved that the effective technical route for oil and gas field produced water lithium extraction is "pretreatment + enrichment and concentration (adsorption-membrane separation) + precipitation". The adsorption method for lithium extraction generally uses lithium selective adsorbents such as resin-based aluminum oxide adsorbents, lithium aluminum oxide intercalation adsorbents, aluminum oxide adsorption ion exchange resins, or aluminum oxide-based adsorbents.
[0003] Aluminum-based adsorbents have the characteristics of good cycle stability, low energy consumption, fast adsorption rate, and long service life, and can be used for lithium extraction from magnesium sulfate type brine and chloride type brine. It is a lithium adsorbent that is widely used in industrial applications, but aluminum-based adsorbents generally use clean water for desorption, and the concentration of lithium is generally about 10 times. However, the concentration of lithium ions in oil and gas field produced water is relatively low, with an average concentration of about 35-40 mg / L. Therefore, the concentration of lithium obtained by using aluminum-based adsorbents is relatively low, which puts a heavy burden on the subsequent membrane concentration scale and energy consumption. Titanium-based adsorbents have the characteristics of high adsorption capacity and can use acid solution for cyclic desorption to achieve high lithium desorption liquid. However, the specific adsorption of lithium by titanium-based adsorbents depends on Li-H exchange, which is generally suitable for alkaline brine systems, but not for chloride type oil and gas field produced water.
[0004] Therefore, in order to maximize the advantages of titanium-based adsorbents and efficiently extract lithium resources from chloride type oil and gas field produced water, it is urgent to develop a method and corresponding device for high-efficiency adsorption and desorption of lithium ions in chloride type oil and gas field produced water, which can overcome the defects of titanium-based adsorbents not being suitable for chloride type oil and gas fields, in order to develop oil and gas field produced water lithium extraction technology and obtain high lithium desorption liquid. SUMMARY

[0033] The adsorption / sectional cyclic concentration desorption unit is connected to the pre-treatment unit and is used for adsorbing the target ions and sectional cyclic concentration desorption of the pre-treated produced water to obtain a desorption liquid rich in target ions; wherein the concentration of the target ions is not less than 1 g / L.

[0035] Preferably, the produced water refers to chloride type produced water; and / or the content of bicarbonate in the produced water is not higher than 150 mg / L.
[0036] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] In view of the problem that the specific adsorption of lithium by the existing titanium-based adsorbent depends on Li-H exchange and is not suitable for chloride type oil and gas field produced water, and there is a lack of methods and devices suitable for efficient lithium extraction from chloride type oil and gas field produced water, the present application provides an adsorption / sectional cyclic concentration desorption method and device. Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following advantages:
[0038] 1. A pre-treatment step for the produced water is provided, and the bicarbonate produced by the reaction of liquid caustic or lime water with excess carbon dioxide gas in the produced water adjusts the pH of the produced water to not less than 7.5, providing a suitable alkaline produced water environment for the subsequent lithium adsorption process of the titanium-based adsorbent, overcoming the defect that the titanium-based adsorbent depends on Li-H exchange and is more suitable for alkaline environment but not suitable for chloride type oil and gas field produced water which is itself acidic, which is beneficial to maximize the advantages of high lithium adsorption capacity of the titanium-based adsorbent, and further beneficial to realize efficient lithium extraction from chloride type oil and gas field produced water.
[0039] 2. On the basis of setting the pretreatment step for produced water, the present application also designs the special desorption mode of segmented cycle concentration desorption. Unlike the conventional acid liquid cycle desorption, the lithium ions desorbed are not discharged in time due to the mixed cycle use of acid liquid and desorption liquid, which produces concentration inhibition effect on the subsequent cycle desorption process and reduces the lithium desorption efficiency. In the segmented cycle concentration desorption designed by the present application, for the multiple groups of adsorption devices reaching the adsorption end point, only the acid liquid or the acid liquid and the leaching liquid produced by the first internal channel leaching of the last group of adsorption devices are used to perform one surface layer desorption, so as to desorb a large amount of ions adsorbed on the surface layer of the titanium-based adsorbent into the desorption liquid for separate storage; after the surface layer desorption, the leaching liquid produced by the second to last internal channel leaching of the last group of adsorption devices is used to perform not less than one internal channel leaching, so as to make the residual lithium ions in the internal channel of the titanium-based adsorbent migrate from the channel of the titanium-based adsorbent by using the concentration gradient. In the above-mentioned segmented cycle concentration desorption process, since the acid liquid does not contain lithium ions, the lithium ions contained in the leaching liquid combined with the acid liquid are also very few compared with the desorption liquid, so that the concentration inhibition effect caused by the existence of lithium ions in the surface layer desorption process is almost avoided, and thus a large amount of lithium ions can be desorbed with high desorption efficiency; and the leaching liquid or water as the washing liquid for internal channel leaching can make the residual lithium ions in the internal channel of the titanium-based adsorbent migrate by using the concentration gradient on the basis of the surface layer desorption, so as to realize the almost complete desorption of lithium ions; the combination of the surface layer desorption and the internal channel leaching realizes the efficient extraction and high recovery rate of lithium in the produced water of the chloride type oil and gas field. In addition, the combination of the leaching liquid and the acid liquid for surface layer desorption also realizes the recycling of the leaching liquid, which is conducive to reducing the amount of acid liquid used in the surface layer desorption process and saving the lithium extraction cost.
[0040] 3. It is also preferred to set the carbon dioxide recovery step, one is to collect the carbon dioxide escaped from the produced water in the pretreatment process, and inject it into the produced water in the pretreatment step, for reacting with lime water or liquid alkali to introduce bicarbonate; two is that in the lithium ion adsorption process of the titanium-based adsorbent, hydrogen ions and bicarbonate react to generate carbon dioxide gas, the present application also collects the part of carbon dioxide generated in the lithium ion adsorption process, and injects it into the produced water in the pretreatment step, for reacting with lime water or liquid alkali to introduce bicarbonate, which realizes the carbon dioxide recovery and recycling in the whole process of lithium adsorption / desorption, and is more low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0049] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments, but the embodiments of the present application are only exemplary descriptions, and the embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the present application in any case.
[0050] The titanium-based adsorbent has the characteristics of high adsorption capacity and high lithium desorption liquid by acid liquid circulation desorption. However, the specific adsorption of lithium by the titanium-based adsorbent depends on Li-H exchange, and is generally suitable for the alkaline brine system, but not suitable for the chloride type oil and gas field produced water. In order to maximize the advantages of the titanium-based adsorbent, it is urgent to develop an adsorption and desorption device and method which can overcome the defects of the titanium-based adsorbent not suitable for the chloride type oil and gas field, so that the titanium-based adsorbent can efficiently adsorb and desorb lithium ions in the chloride type oil and gas field produced water, and obtain high lithium desorption liquid.

For chloride-type oil and gas field produced water, the target ion particularly refers to lithium ion. The adsorption / sectional cyclic concentration desorption method provided by the present application is first based on the specific adsorption principle of titanium-based adsorbent for lithium ion and the characteristics that the titanium-based adsorbent is suitable for alkaline brine system, combined with the characteristics that chloride-type oil and gas field produced water is acidic, a pretreatment step for adjusting pH is designed before adsorption / desorption, bicarbonate is generated by the reaction of liquid caustic or lime water with carbon dioxide to introduce bicarbonate into the produced water to play a buffering role, so as to maintain the pH of the produced water not lower than 7.5 in the subsequent adsorption step, to create suitable conditions for the specific adsorption of titanium-based adsorbent for lithium ion. On the other hand, the adsorption / sectional cyclic concentration desorption method provided by the present application uses a specially designed sectional cyclic concentration desorption in the desorption stage, which is different from the traditional acid liquid circulation desorption. The sectional cyclic concentration desorption can overcome the inhibitory effect of the target ion previously desorbed on the concentration of the target ion existing in the subsequent desorption process in the traditional acid liquid circulation desorption, improve the desorption efficiency, and obtain target ion-rich desorption liquid with higher concentration as much as possible.

[0221] Result evaluation
[0222] The lithium recovery effects of the adsorption / desorption methods implemented in the above examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 and 2 are arranged in table 1.
[0223] Table 1. Lithium recovery effects of various adsorption / desorption methods
[0224]
[0225] As shown in table 1, examples 1 to 3 utilize the adsorption / segmented cyclic concentration desorption device provided by the present application, and implement the adsorption / segmented cyclic concentration desorption method provided by the present application. The introduction of bicarbonate ions is combined with segmented cyclic concentration desorption, and good recovery effects of lithium in the lithium-extraction water are achieved: the adsorption recovery rate of lithium is all above 80%, and even reaches 94%, the concentration of lithium ions in the lithium ion-rich desorption solution is not less than 1 g / L, and the desorption recovery rate of lithium corresponding thereto is also all above 80%, and even reaches 95%.
[0226] Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 found that Comparative Example 1 used acid liquid circulation desorption method for lithium desorption, unable to exclude the concentration inhibition effect of lithium ions in the recycled desorption solution, affecting the lithium desorption effect, showing that the lithium ion concentration in the lithium ion-rich desorption solution decreased significantly, and the desorption recovery rate of the example was only 60%. While Example 1 uses a segmented cycle concentration desorption method for lithium desorption, combined with one surface desorption and at least one internal channel leaching, avoiding the concentration inhibition effect caused by the presence of desorbed lithium ions during the desorption process, showing obvious advantages in improving the lithium desorption recovery rate and the lithium concentration in the lithium ion-rich desorption solution, reaching a lithium desorption recovery rate of 95%, and the lithium ion concentration in the lithium ion-rich desorption solution reaching 1 g / L, and also realizing the recycling of the leaching solution produced by internal channel leaching, reducing the lithium recovery cost.
[0227] Comparative Example 2 also uses a segmented cycle concentration desorption method to desorb lithium, but it does not introduce bicarbonate to adjust the pH of the produced water before lithium adsorption, which cannot provide a suitable adsorption environment for the titanium-based adsorbent, affecting the adsorption effect of the titanium-based adsorbent on lithium, showing that the lithium adsorption recovery rate is significantly lower than that of Example 1, only 50%, and the decrease in lithium adsorption recovery rate also affects the lithium desorption recovery rate and the lithium ion concentration in the lithium ion-rich desorption solution achieved in the subsequent segmented cycle desorption stage.
