Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a method for treating pickling wastewater from stainless steel production and recovering and utilizing fluoride ions. Background Technology
[0002] Pickling is an essential step in the production of stainless steel, used to remove oxide scale and impurities from the surface to ensure surface quality and subsequent processing performance. However, the pickling process generates a large amount of pickling wastewater, which contains not only high concentrations of fluoride ions but also Fe²⁺. + Fe³ + Cr³ + Ni² + It contains various heavy metal ions, along with a certain amount of oil pollution. If discharged directly, it will cause serious pollution to water bodies, soil and other ecological environments, and endanger human health.
[0003] Currently, there are many methods for treating stainless steel pickling wastewater, such as chemical precipitation, adsorption, and ion exchange. Chemical precipitation is widely used due to its simple operation and low cost, but traditional chemical precipitation methods suffer from problems such as incomplete removal of fluoride ions, large amounts of precipitated sludge, and ineffective recovery of fluoride resources. Although adsorption and ion exchange methods can achieve deep fluoride removal, the regeneration costs of adsorbents and ion exchange resins are high, and the treatment capacity is limited, making them unsuitable for large-scale industrial wastewater treatment.
[0004] In addition, during the fluoride ion recovery process, traditional crystallization equipment is prone to problems such as difficulty in crystal sedimentation, equipment blockage, and low crystallization efficiency, resulting in low purity of calcium fluoride products that cannot meet the requirements of industrial applications.
[0005] Therefore, a method for treating pickling wastewater from stainless steel production and recovering fluoride ions is proposed. This method, which achieves efficient recovery and utilization of fluoride ions, is stable in operation, and has low cost, has significant practical significance and application value. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a method for treating and recovering fluoride ions from pickling wastewater in stainless steel production. This invention employs a multi-step process involving pretreatment, primary precipitation, fluidized bed induced crystallization with calcium fluoride, secondary precipitation, and deep defluorination. This synergistic treatment effectively removes oil, heavy metal ions, and fluoride ions from the pickling wastewater, ensuring that the treated wastewater meets discharge standards and achieving wastewater purification. To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows: According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for treating pickling wastewater from stainless steel production and recovering fluoride ions is provided, comprising a pickling wastewater pretreatment reaction, a primary precipitation reaction, a calcium fluoride crystallization fluidized bed structure and induced crystallization control, seed crystal storage, a secondary precipitation reaction, a deep defluorination reaction, and an online control system.
[0007] Preferably, the pretreatment reaction of the pickling wastewater adopts the air flotation separation method to remove oil from the pickling wastewater. Specifically, the pickling wastewater is introduced into the pretreatment tank, and a large number of micro bubbles are generated by the air flotation equipment. The oil adheres to the surface of the bubbles and floats to the water surface. The oil is removed by the oil skimming device, thereby reducing the impact of oil on the subsequent treatment process.
[0008] Preferably, the primary sedimentation reaction specifically involves: introducing pretreated acidic wastewater (after oil removal) into a primary sedimentation tank; adding lime slurry to adjust the pH to 3-4; simultaneously activating the aeration device for thorough aeration for 30-60 minutes; then adding polyacrylamide (PAM) as a coagulant at a dosage of 2-5 mg / L; stirring thoroughly; and finally coagulation and sedimentation for 1-2 hours. This step removes a large amount of Fe²⁺ from the pickling wastewater. + Fe³ + Cr³ + In addition to other possible metal ions, this reduces the load on subsequent processing steps.
[0009] Preferably, the main body of the calcium fluoride crystallization fluidized bed structure is a cylinder with a conical bottom, made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene), which has advantages such as corrosion resistance, high strength, and long service life. The equipment internally includes a cylindrical overflow weir, a crystallization settling component, an acid washing control system, a blower system, a circular aeration disc, a reflux pump, an acid dosing pump, an observation port, an online pH sensor, an online liquid level sensor, and a total outlet for the packing material. The circular overflow weir is used to control the effluent water level and ensure stable equipment operation; the crystallization settling component promotes the crystallization of calcium fluoride. The system facilitates sedimentation of the wastewater, improving crystallization efficiency; the acid pickling control system is used to unclog the equipment through acid pickling; the blower system works in conjunction with the circular aeration disc to provide aeration and prevent packing caking; the reflux pump controls the wastewater return flow; the acid dosing pump adds acid solution; the equipment observation port allows operators to easily observe the internal operation of the equipment; the online pH sensor and online liquid level sensor are used to detect the pH value and liquid level of the wastewater in the equipment in real time, respectively, and transmit the detection data to the online control system; the equipment packing's main discharge port is used to discharge calcium fluoride crystals that meet the particle size requirements.
[0010] Preferably, the operation process and crystallization induction control of the calcium fluoride crystallization fluidized bed are as follows: The effluent from the primary precipitation reaction is introduced into the calcium fluoride crystallization fluidized bed. First, lime slurry is added to the influent to adjust the pH to 5-6.5. After stirring evenly, the effluent enters through the equipment inlet. The reflux flow rate is controlled at 150-300% using a reflux pump, and the upward flow velocity of the wastewater within the equipment is controlled at 0.01-0.05 m / s. Uniform seed crystals of 100-500 μm are used for crystallization induction. The seed crystals are added to the crystallization fluidized bed and react fully with the wastewater. The blower system is intermittently activated as needed for equipment operation, and aeration is performed through circular aeration discs at an aeration intensity of 0.5-1.0 m³ / (m²·h) to prevent packing caking. When a significant increase in reflux pressure is detected, the acid washing control system is activated, and acid solution is added through the acid dosing pump ⑧ for acid washing to resolve system blockage issues.
[0011] Preferably, the seed crystal storage specifically involves the following: During the operation of the calcium fluoride crystallization fluidized bed, the seed crystals continuously grow as the reaction proceeds, and the particle size gradually increases. When the seed crystal particle size is ≥1-2mm, it needs to be discharged externally. During operation, the particle size of the packing material in the tower is monitored weekly. When the particle size reaches 1mm or more, it is discharged in batches through the main outlet of the equipment packing material, with each discharge accounting for 10%. The discharged large seed crystal particles can be crushed to 100-500μm by a slurry pump and then reused in the system as inducing seed crystals. The portion of the seed crystals that have grown is transported to the packing material storage tank for storage. After acid treatment, the stored seed crystals yield calcium fluoride products with a purity >80%, meeting industrial application standards.
[0012] Preferably, the secondary precipitation reaction specifically involves: introducing the effluent from the calcium fluoride crystallization fluidized bed into the secondary sedimentation tank, adding quicklime to the tank to adjust the pH value of the wastewater to 9-10, stirring evenly, and then carrying out coagulation and sedimentation for 1-1.5 hours. This step can remove residual nickel and other heavy metal ions from the wastewater.
[0013] Preferably, the deep defluorination reaction specifically involves: introducing the effluent from the secondary precipitation reaction into a deep defluorination tank, adding a defluorinating agent (such as polyaluminum chloride, activated alumina, etc.) to the tank, with a dosage of 50-100 mg / L, adjusting the pH of the wastewater to 7-8, stirring evenly, and then carrying out coagulation and sedimentation for 1-2 hours. The fluoride ion concentration of the treated wastewater meets the discharge standards and can be discharged to the wastewater treatment center for further disposal.
[0014] Preferably, the online control system is connected to an online pH sensor, an online liquid level sensor, and various dosing devices, reflux pumps, fans, and other equipment. It collects operating parameters such as pH value, liquid level, and reflux pressure of the wastewater in real time, and automatically adjusts the operating status of each device according to the preset parameter range. For example, it adjusts the dosage of lime slurry, PAM, and defluorinating agent, controls the reflux flow rate of the reflux pump, and turns the fan system on or off, thereby realizing the automated operation and stable control of the entire treatment process.
[0015] Preferably, all sludge generated by the process (including primary sedimentation sludge, secondary sedimentation sludge, deep defluorination sedimentation sludge, and unqualified sludge discharged from the calcium fluoride crystallization fluidized bed) must be transported to a sludge thickening tank for thickening, and then dewatered by a plate and frame filter press before being discharged to a professional sludge treatment facility for harmless disposal to avoid secondary pollution.
[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention describes a method for treating and recovering fluoride ions from pickling wastewater in stainless steel production.
