Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of fine chemical technology, and in particular to a method for recycling and reusing wastewater from hydrotalcite production. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization, the adverse impacts of human activities on the ecological environment are becoming increasingly prominent, with water pollution being a particularly serious problem. Industrial wastewater that is not treated according to environmental standards and is directly discharged into natural water bodies not only disrupts the ecological balance of aquatic bodies and pollutes soil and groundwater, but also, due to the various harmful organic pollutants it contains (such as persistent organic pollutants and other pollutants), accumulates through the food chain and endangers human health. In recent years, these pollutants have been frequently detected in various types of water bodies, including surface water and wastewater treatment plant effluent, posing a dual threat to the ecological environment and public health.
[0003] Among industrial wastewater pollution, the hazards of hydrotalcite production wastewater are particularly prominent: this type of wastewater is highly alkaline, and direct discharge will cause a severe imbalance in the pH value of the receiving water body, damaging the living environment of aquatic organisms. At the same time, the residual raw materials and reaction byproducts contained in the wastewater will further aggravate the pollution load of the water body. Traditional treatment processes usually adopt the process of "acid neutralization → COD oxidation → alkaline incineration", which is not only cumbersome and complicated to operate, but also has many drawbacks: the acid neutralization process is prone to generating secondary pollutants such as salts, and the subsequent oxidation and incineration processes consume a lot of energy and emit a large amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. This increases the treatment costs of enterprises (including reagent costs, energy consumption costs, equipment operation and maintenance costs, etc.) and contradicts the concept of low-carbon and environmental protection, making it difficult to meet the requirements of current green development.
[0004] With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the growing acceptance of green production concepts, efficient and environmentally friendly industrial wastewater treatment technologies are receiving increasing attention. Addressing the challenges in treating wastewater from hydrotalcite production, there is an urgent need to develop a new treatment technology that simplifies the process, enables resource recovery (such as recovering effective components from wastewater to prepare finished products or byproducts), has low treatment costs, high treatment efficiency, and eliminates secondary pollution. This technology can not only completely solve the wastewater pollution problem but also achieve resource recycling. Summary of the Invention
