Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of concentrated wastewater recovery and utilization, and in particular to a reverse osmosis concentrated wastewater recovery device. Background Art

[0002] Reverse osmosis (RO) concentrated water is often recycled and reused in lithium carbonate production systems. The process of preparing pure water with the reverse osmosis (RO) process produces concentrated water, which contains various organic and inorganic pollutants. If it is discharged directly, it may pollute the soil, surface water, ocean, etc.; if it is discharged into the municipal sewage treatment system, the excessively high total dissolved solids are also very unfavorable to the growth of activated sludge. The highly concentrated RO concentrated water and the chemicals introduced by the cleaning agent and scale inhibitor are directly discharged into the environment, which will inevitably have an adverse effect. Therefore, finding an economical and efficient RO concentrated water treatment method is of great significance to environmental protection.

[0003] In actual production, the 150T reverse osmosis system runs continuously and produces about 1680m3 per day. 3 (About 70m 3 / h) concentrated drainage is discharged through sewage pipes, resulting in serious waste of water resources. In order to reduce water resource waste and reduce costs, 70T reverse osmosis equipment has been used for secondary recycling of concentrated drainage. However, the reverse osmosis equipment currently only has an antiscalant dosing device. According to the full analysis data of concentrated drainage, the calcium and magnesium ion content in the water is high, with calcium ions of 274.1mg / L and ions of 205.4mg / L, which is the main reason for the blockage of reverse osmosis membrane and the decrease in recovery rate. Utility Model Content

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the reverse osmosis equipment needs to be finally cleaned, the cleaning water pump transports the cleaning liquid in the cleaning solution tank to the security filter, and after filtration, it is transported to the reverse osmosis equipment by the high-pressure pump for cleaning.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The present application discloses a reverse osmosis concentrated drainage recovery device. Figure 1A reverse osmosis concentrated drainage recovery device includes a concentrated drainage tank 1, a heater 2, an impurity filter 3, a plate heat exchanger 4, a hydrochloric acid dosing tank 5, a scale inhibitor dosing tank 6, a bag filter 7, a security filter 8, a high-pressure pump 9 and a reverse osmosis device 10, wherein the concentrated drainage tank 1, the heater 2, the impurity filter 3, the plate heat exchanger 4, the bag filter 7, the security filter 8, the high-pressure pump 9 and the reverse osmosis device 10 are connected in sequence through pipelines, and the hydrochloric acid dosing tank 5 and the scale inhibitor dosing tank 6 are connected to the concentrated drainage pipeline respectively through pipelines, and each official road is provided with an electric control valve and / or a butterfly valve and / or a check valve and / or a ball valve according to actual needs. In this application, in order to speed up the process flow, the filtration system formed by the scale inhibitor dosing tank 6, the bag filter 7, the security filter 8, the high-pressure pump 9 and the reverse osmosis device 10 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of filtration systems are arranged in parallel. One outlet end of the reverse osmosis equipment 10 is connected to the raw water pool 11, and there are multiple water use points in the raw water pool 11. A hydraulic pump 21 is arranged between the water use points and the raw water pool 11. Under the action of the hydraulic pump 21, the produced water in the raw water pool 11 can be transported to multiple water use points; the other outlet end of the reverse osmosis equipment 10 is connected to the concentrated water collection tank 12.

[0035] Since the osmotic membrane used in the reverse osmosis equipment 10 is expensive and easy to be clogged, in order to facilitate timely cleaning of the reverse osmosis equipment 10, the inlet end of the reverse osmosis equipment 10 is also connected to a reverse osmosis cleaning device 13 and an acid-base cleaning device 14. The reverse osmosis cleaning device 13 and the acid-base cleaning device 14 are arranged in parallel to perform acid-base cleaning and clean water cleaning on the reverse osmosis equipment 10 respectively.

[0036] When selecting the permeable membrane, after comparative analysis, it was found that Dow's anti-pollution membrane was used in concentrated wastewater recovery, which was prone to clogging, high in price, and had a long procurement cycle, seriously affecting production efficiency; while the domestic PURO-YR2 membrane was a polyamide composite membrane specially used for industrial wastewater desalination, with the characteristics of low operating pressure, high water output, and high desalination rate, and it was cost-effective and easy to maintain. Therefore, the domestic PURO-YR2 membrane was selected in this application.

[0037] In order to prevent the damage of high pressure to the permeable membrane, a 45kW inverter was added and the original high-pressure pump 9 industrial frequency soft start control was transformed into variable frequency starting control.

[0038] In the lithium carbonate production system, the concentrated wastewater itself has a temperature. After being heated and precipitated by the heater 2, the temperature of the concentrated wastewater is even higher. Therefore, thermometers 20 are provided at the inlet and outlet ends of the plate heat exchanger 4 to facilitate the operator to monitor the temperature of the concentrated wastewater before and after passing through the plate heat exchanger 4 at any time, so as to timely adjust the temperature of the cold flow in the plate heat exchanger 4, thereby reducing the temperature of the concentrated wastewater entering the plate heat exchanger 4 to the set temperature.

[0039] A pH detector 19 is provided on the concentrated drainage pipeline between the hydrochloric acid dosing tank 5 and the scale inhibitor dosing tank 6, so that the operator can know the pH value of the concentrated drainage to which hydrochloric acid is added in time, so as to make timely adjustments.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 The acid-base cleaning equipment 14 includes an acid-base cleaning tank 140 and an acid-base water pump 141. One end of the acid-base water pump 141 is connected to the outlet end of the acid-base cleaning tank 140, and the other end is connected to the clean water inlet end of the reverse osmosis equipment 10. When the reverse osmosis equipment 10 needs to be cleaned with acid and alkali, the acid-base water pump 141 transports the acid-base cleaning water in the acid-base cleaning tank 140 to the reverse osmosis equipment 10 for cleaning.

[0041] In order to save water and reuse water resources, a raw water pipeline 15 and / or a cleaning water production pipeline 16 are provided at the inlet end of the acid-base cleaning tank 140. The raw water pipeline 15 is connected to the raw water pool 11, and the cleaning water production pipeline 16 is connected to the cleaning water production outlet end of the reverse osmosis device 10. That is, the water in the raw water pool 11 or the water produced by the clean water cleaning of the reverse osmosis device 10 can be led to the acid-base cleaning tank 140, thereby realizing the reuse of raw water.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 The reverse osmosis cleaning device 13 includes a cleaning solution tank 130 and a cleaning water pump 131. One end of the cleaning water pump 131 is connected to the outlet of the cleaning solution tank 130, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the security filter 8. The outlet of the cleaning water produced by the reverse osmosis device 10 is connected to the inlet of the cleaning solution tank 130. When the reverse osmosis device 10 needs to be cleaned with clean water, the cleaning water pump 131 transports the cleaning solution in the cleaning solution tank 130 to the security filter 8, and then transports it to the reverse osmosis device 10 through the high-pressure pump 9 for clean water cleaning. The clean water produced by cleaning can be returned to the cleaning solution tank 130 again for reflux flushing. When the cleaning solution in the cleaning solution tank 130 needs to be replaced, it only needs to be discharged and then added with new water.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 The hydrochloric acid dosing tank 5 is provided with a tap water pipe 17 and a hydrochloric acid pipe 18, and a stirring structure 51 is provided in the hydrochloric acid dosing tank 5. When adding hydrochloric acid to the hydrochloric acid dosing tank 5, tap water is first introduced from the tap water pipe 17, and then hydrochloric acid is slowly added while stirring with the stirring structure 51 to prevent the hydrochloric acid from volatilizing. In order to prevent hydrochloric acid from corroding the equipment, in this application, the tap water pipe 17, the hydrochloric acid pipe 18 and the hydrochloric acid dosing tank 5 are all made of corrosion-resistant PVC material.

[0044] The hydrochloric acid reacts with the calcium and magnesium ions in the concentrated wastewater to form calcium chloride and magnesium chloride precipitates, which are then filtered out by the bag filter 7 and the security filter 8.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
