Abstract
Description
Technical Field:
[0001] The utility model relates to a metal ore wastewater treatment system, specifically to a concentrated brine treatment system. Background Art:
[0002] The mining concentrated brine of metal ore contains substances such as chloride ions, calcium ions, sodium ions, bicarbonate radicals, soluble silica, and magnesium ions. The traditional treatment method is to add lime, sodium carbonate, PFS, and PAM to remove hardness in the form of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide, remove calcium ions and magnesium ions in the form of sludge, and then further treat the concentrated brine to produce sodium salt products. The above treatment process consumes a large amount of chemicals, and the chemical cost is relatively high. Moreover, the separated sludge needs to be entrusted to a professional qualified unit for treatment, which will increase a part of the sludge disposal cost. And, the contents of chloride ions, calcium ions, and sodium ions are relatively high, with the chloride ion concentration being 35467 mg / L, the calcium ion concentration being 10500 mg / L, and the sodium ion concentration being 9800 mg / L. The above treatment can only recover chloride ions and sodium ions, while calcium ions are discharged as solid waste, reducing the utilization rate of effective components. Content of the Utility Model:
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a concentrated brine treatment system.
[0004] The utility model is implemented by the following technical solutions: A concentrated brine treatment system includes an adjustment tank, a reaction tank, a microfiltration membrane separator, a decarbonization tower, a triple-effect evaporator, a sand filter, a thickener, a centrifuge, and a dryer. The upper part of the adjustment tank is connected with a water inlet pipe and a sodium hydroxide feeding pipe. The outlet of the adjustment tank is connected with the inlet of the reaction tank. The upper part of the reaction tank is connected with a sodium aluminate feeding pipe and a flocculant feeding pipe. The outlet of the reaction tank is connected with the inlet of the microfiltration membrane separator. The liquid phase outlet of the microfiltration membrane separator is connected with the inlet of the decarbonization tower. The side part of the decarbonization tower is connected with a blast pipe. The outlet of the decarbonization tower is connected with the inlet of the triple-effect evaporator. The mother liquor outlet of the triple-effect evaporator is connected with the inlet of the sand filter. The outlet of the sand filter is connected with the inlet of a calcium chloride storage tank. The crystal slurry outlet of the triple-effect evaporator is connected with the inlet of the thickener. The solid phase outlet of the thickener is connected with the inlet of the centrifuge. The solid phase outlet of the centrifuge is connected with the inlet of the dryer. The outlet of the dryer is connected with a sodium chloride discharge pipe.
[0005] Further, the solid phase outlet of the microfiltration membrane separator is connected with the inlet of a sludge thickening tank. The solid phase outlet of the sludge thickening tank is connected with the inlet of a filter press.
[0006] Further, the liquid phase outlet of the sludge thickening tank and the liquid phase outlet of the filter press are both connected with the inlet of the reaction tank.
[0007] Further, the liquid phase outlet of the thickener and the liquid phase outlet of the centrifuge are both connected to the inlet of the triple-effect evaporator.
[0008] Advantages of the present utility model: In the present utility model, sodium hydroxide is first put into the adjustment tank, then sodium aluminate and a flocculant are added to the reaction tank, and then separation is carried out through a microfiltration membrane separator to remove total silicon in the concentrated brine; then carbon dioxide and bicarbonate ions soluble in the solution are removed in the decarbonization tower, and finally sodium chloride is separated by triple-effect evaporation. The remaining mother liquor is a saturated calcium chloride solution, which can be used for industrial production. The present utility model can effectively recover sodium ions, calcium ions and chloride ions in the concentrated brine, and only a small amount of medicaments are used in the silicon removal stage, which can effectively reduce the use of medicaments and reduce the medicament cost. Moreover, calcium ions are recovered in the form of calcium chloride, reducing the amount of sludge, and thus the sludge treatment cost can be reduced. In addition, the produced saturated calcium chloride solution can generate economic benefits. Therefore, the present utility model can effectively reduce the treatment cost of concentrated brine, improve economic benefits, and at the same time improve the utilization rate of effective components.
