Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically, to a method for treating brine. Background Technology

[0002] Major brine desalination technologies include reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), electrodialysis (ED), multistage flash evaporation, and multi-effect distillation, with RO playing a dominant role. However, a key issue in desalination applications such as RO, NF, and ED is the treatment of concentrated brine byproducts. During desalination, a significant amount of feedwater is discharged as brine. Therefore, effective treatment of the concentrated brine byproducts is necessary to fully utilize water resources and minimize contamination from mixed brine discharge. Membrane desalination also presents with membrane fouling. For example, concentrated acids (such as HCl or H₂SO₄) and alkalis (such as NaOH) are commonly used in membrane systems to adjust the pH during operation or as cleaning agents in the cleaning cycle. However, due to cost and transportation issues, the acids and alkalis required for membrane systems are not readily available. Therefore, the ability to produce acids or alkalis on-site at the desalination plant is crucial for the normal operation of brine desalination in remote areas. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0019] This disclosure provides a method for treating brine, comprising the following steps: S1. The mixed brine to be treated is fed into the reverse osmosis unit for reverse osmosis treatment to obtain the first concentrated brine and fresh water. S2. The first concentrated brine is introduced into an electrodialysis device for first electrodialysis treatment to obtain a second concentrated brine; the conductivity of the second concentrated brine is 35~75 mS / cm. S3. The second concentrated brine is introduced into the salt chamber of a selective bipolar membrane electrodialysis device for a second electrodialysis treatment; wherein, in the direction from anode to cathode, the selective bipolar membrane electrodialysis device includes a first monovalent selective cation exchange membrane, a first bipolar membrane, a first anion exchange membrane and a second monovalent selective cation exchange membrane arranged in sequence at intervals, so that an alkali chamber, an acid chamber and the salt chamber are formed between two adjacent membranes in sequence.

Optionally, the alkaline solution is mixed with the mixed salt solution obtained in the salt chamber to carry out a precipitation reaction; and optionally, the mixed acid solution obtained in the acid chamber is used to clean the reverse osmosis device.

[0020] This disclosure provides a method for treating brine. The method involves first efficiently concentrating a low-concentration mixed brine solution through reverse osmosis and a first electrodialysis treatment to obtain a high-concentration second concentrated brine solution. This second concentrated brine solution has a certain range of conductivity, making it more suitable for subsequent second electrodialysis treatment. The second concentrated brine solution is then introduced into a selective bipolar membrane electrodialysis device for second electrodialysis treatment, yielding high-concentration alkali, mixed acid, and mixed salt solutions. This allows for the recycling and reuse of acids and alkalis. For example, the alkali solution can be directly used for the precipitation reaction of the mixed salt solution containing divalent ions obtained from the second electrodialysis treatment, and the mixed acid solution can be used to clean the equipment within the process system. The highly efficient impurity removal and salt separation process and green, harmless acid and alkali production provided by this disclosure significantly reduce the discharge of high-salt wastewater and significantly improve the utilization rate of salt resources, realizing the resource utilization of concentrated mixed salt water. Furthermore, the entire process provided by this disclosure does not involve the addition of impurity removal agents or the discharge of saline wastewater. The process operation is simple, and it has significant environmental and economic benefits.

[0021] According to this disclosure, the process principle of the brine treatment method includes: first, subjecting the low-concentration mixed brine to reverse osmosis treatment to concentrate and increase the salt concentration, obtaining a first concentrated brine and fresh water. The obtained fresh water can be used in the subsequent electrodialysis process of a selective bipolar membrane electrodialysis device, improving resource utilization; then, introducing the first concentrated brine into the electrodialysis device for a first electrodialysis treatment to further concentrate the brine, obtaining a salt solution with a higher salt content (second concentrated brine), and the fresh water obtained from the first electrodialysis treatment can be returned to the reverse osmosis device for further treatment, improving utilization efficiency; finally, introducing the second concentrated brine into the selective bipolar membrane electrodialysis device, the high-concentration brine... Concentrated brine enters the salt chamber of a selective bipolar membrane electrodialysis device. Using a monovalent selective cation exchange membrane, monovalent cations (sodium and potassium ions) and divalent cations (calcium and magnesium ions) in the second concentrated brine entering the salt chamber are separated. (Monovalent cations, such as sodium and potassium ions, can flow through the monovalent selective cation exchange membrane to the cathode to form an alkaline solution with hydroxide ions in the alkali chamber; while divalent cations, such as calcium and magnesium ions, are retained, resulting in a divalent mixed salt in the salt chamber, which can be used for subsequent precipitation reactions.) Through this process, mixed acid and high-purity alkali are obtained in the acid and alkali chambers of the selective bipolar membrane electrodialysis device, respectively.

Performing the first electrodialysis treatment according to the process conditions provided in this embodiment, especially according to the preferred process conditions, yields a salt solution (second concentrated brine) with a higher salt content for subsequent treatment, improving the treatment effect of the subsequent second electrodialysis treatment.
