Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for purifying phosphoric acid waste liquid and recovering phosphoric acid, belonging to the field of water treatment. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the phosphorus chemical industry, lithium iron phosphate battery, and corrosion foil industries have developed rapidly. Currently, the phosphoric acid recovery process faces problems such as low acid recovery rate, low quality of recovered phosphoric acid, and high energy consumption. Patent CN 103030123 A uses a process combining pressure separation membrane and resin to purify and recover waste phosphoric acid. However, the recovered phosphoric acid concentration is low, only about 5%, and the resin removes the high concentration of Al in the waste acid. 3+ The resin needs to be regenerated frequently, and there is still about 10% Al in the recovered acid. 3+ If the waste acid contains multiple heavy metal ions, multiple resins need to be used in combination. Patent CN 111268848 A uses anion exchange membrane and low-temperature evaporation to recover phosphoric acid. Although the removal rate of metal salts is ≥99.6%, the phosphoric acid recovery rate is only 70%, which is a low recovery rate. Patent CN 116621136 A uses anion and cation resins and negative pressure evaporation to recover waste phosphoric acid. Although the phosphoric acid yield is ≥90% and the removal rate of metal ions and other impurities is ≥85%, sulfuric acid is required to regenerate the resin during the recovery process, and the recovery of phosphoric acid produces waste sulfuric acid.

[0003] The waste phosphoric acid recovery processes introduced in the above three patents all have their own shortcomings. There is an urgent need for a clean and efficient phosphoric acid recovery method with high phosphoric acid recovery rate, high metal salt impurity removal rate and low energy consumption.

Through the integration of a pretreatment device, a separation and purification device, an acid dialysis device and an acid concentration device, the efficient removal of metal salt impurities in waste phosphoric acid and the efficient recovery of phosphoric acid are achieved.

[0005] A method for purifying and recovering phosphoric acid from phosphoric acid waste liquid using a full membrane method comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 3: Concentrate the permeate of the nanofiltration membrane to obtain recovered phosphoric acid.

[0009] In the step 2, the dilution end point is 10 wt% to 20 wt%.

[0010] In step 2, when the nanofiltration membrane is used for filtration, one-stage, two-stage or multi-stage filtration is adopted.

[0011] When two or more stages of filtration are used, the concentrated liquid from the next stage of nanofiltration membrane is returned to the previous stage for further filtration.

[0012] The concentrated solution of the first-stage nanofiltration membrane is diluted and then dialyzed using the nanofiltration membrane.

[0013] The diluent used in the dialysis process is fresh water produced in the acid concentration process, and the dilution end point is 10wt% to 20wt%.

[0014] The dialysis process uses a two-stage dialysis, where the concentrated solution from the previous stage is diluted before being dialyzed to the next stage.

[0015] A precipitant is added to the concentrated solution obtained during the dialysis process to precipitate the metal ions; the precipitant is an alkali.

[0016] The ratio of dilute acid to concentrated acid produced by the nanofiltration membrane is greater than 4:1, and the retention rate of divalent and above metal ions in phosphoric acid waste liquid is ≥95%.

[0017] In step 3, the concentration membrane used in the concentration process is an acid-resistant reverse osmosis membrane, which can increase the concentration of phosphoric acid to 25wt% to 35wt%.

[0018] A device for purifying and recovering phosphoric acid from phosphoric acid waste liquid using a full-membrane method, comprising:

[0019] A pre-filter is used to pre-filter the phosphoric acid waste liquid to remove suspended matter and solid particle impurities in the phosphoric acid waste liquid;

[0021] a nanofiltration membrane device connected to the first dilution tank, for performing nanofiltration treatment on the diluted wastewater, allowing phosphoric acid to pass through and retaining divalent or polyvalent metal cations;

[0023] The dialysis device is connected to the interception side of the nanofiltration membrane device and is used to perform dialysis treatment on the concentrated liquid of the nanofiltration to obtain phosphoric acid.

[0024] The osmotic side of the dialysis device is connected to a concentrating device.

[0025] The nanofiltration membrane in the nanofiltration membrane device is single-stage, double-stage or multi-stage.

[0026] The dialysis device is equipped with a nanofiltration membrane.

[0027] The dialysis device also includes a second dilution tank connected to the retention side of the nanofiltration membrane device, which is used to dilute the concentrated solution entering the dialysis device.

[0041] The concentration of phosphoric acid in phosphoric acid waste liquid is about 30wt%, and the main impurities are metal ions such as iron, aluminum, calcium, and magnesium. It also contains a large amount of sulfate ions and a small amount of sodium, potassium, fluorine, chlorine, and arsenic.

[0042] The method for purifying phosphoric acid waste liquid and recovering phosphoric acid by full membrane method of the utility model comprises the following steps:

[0043] First, the phosphoric acid waste liquid passes through a pretreatment system to remove suspended matter and solid particle impurities. The pretreatment system uses a microfiltration or ultrafiltration membrane with an average pore size range of 50-200nm. This step of filtration adopts a cross-flow filtration method. The membrane surface flow rate can be 1-10m / s. The microfiltration or ultrafiltration membrane can be made of inorganic ceramic membrane material and high molecular polymer material.

[0044] Next, the phosphoric acid waste liquid after pretreatment and filtration enters the 1# dilution tank, which also includes a pump, a mechanical stirrer, and a liquid level meter. Pure water is used to dilute the phosphoric acid waste liquid to 10wt%-20wt%.

The function of the secondary separation and purification device is to further remove the impurity metal ions that the primary separation and purification device has not been able to remove. The concentrated acid produced by the secondary separation and purification device is returned to the primary separation and purification device.

[0047] The dilute phosphoric acid produced by the secondary separation and purification device enters the tertiary separation and purification device, which includes a pump, a safety filter and a separation and purification membrane. The function of the tertiary separation and purification device is to further remove the impurity metal ions that cannot be removed by the secondary separation and purification device. 95% of divalent and above metal ions can be removed through the primary, secondary and tertiary separation and purification devices. The concentrated acid produced by the tertiary separation and purification device is returned to the secondary separation and purification device.

[0048] The primary, secondary and tertiary separation and purification devices use nanofiltration membranes that can withstand phosphoric acid corrosion. The membrane types include but are not limited to spiral type and hollow fiber type. The membrane element has a desalination rate of not less than 97%, an operating temperature not exceeding 45°C, and an operating pressure of 0.1-6MPa.

[0049] The dilute phosphoric acid produced by the three-stage separation and purification device enters the acid concentration device, which includes a pump, a safety filter and an acid concentration membrane.

[0050] The acid concentration device uses a reverse osmosis membrane that can withstand phosphoric acid corrosion. The membrane type includes but is not limited to roll type and disc type. The membrane element has a desalination rate of not less than 97%, an operating temperature not exceeding 45°C, and an operating pressure of 0.1-6MPa.

The concentrated acid is diluted with fresh water produced by the acid concentration device to 10wt%-20wt%.

[0052] The phosphoric acid waste liquid diluted in the No. 2 dilution tank enters the primary acid dialysis device, which includes a pump, a safety filter, and an acid dialysis membrane. The function of the primary acid dialysis device is to dialysis and purify the phosphoric acid in the concentrated acid produced by the primary separation and purification device, recover the phosphoric acid and remove the divalent and higher impurity metal ions therein. The dilute acid produced by the primary acid dialysis device enters the acid concentrator for concentration and recovery of phosphoric acid.

[0053] The concentrated acid produced by the primary acid dialysis device enters the 3# dilution tank, which also includes a pump, a mechanical stirrer, and a liquid level gauge. The fresh water produced by the acid concentration device is used to dilute the concentrated acid produced by the primary acid dialysis device to 10wt%-20wt%.

[0054] The phosphoric acid waste liquid diluted in the 3# dilution tank enters the secondary acid dialysis device, which includes a pump, a safety filter, and an acid dialysis membrane. The function of the secondary acid dialysis device is to dialysis and purify the phosphoric acid in the concentrated acid produced by the primary acid dialysis device, recover the phosphoric acid and remove the divalent and higher impurity metal ions therein. The dilute acid produced by the secondary acid dialysis device enters the acid concentrator for concentration and recovery of phosphoric acid.

[0055] The primary and secondary acid dialysis devices use a special nanofiltration membrane that can withstand phosphoric acid corrosion. The membrane types include but are not limited to spiral and hollow fiber types. The membrane element has a desalination rate of not less than 97%, an operating temperature not exceeding 45°C, and an operating pressure of 0.1-6MPa.

[0056] The method of the utility model can not only recover more than 90% of phosphoric acid, but also achieve a removal rate of more than 95% of divalent and higher impurity metal ions in the recovered phosphoric acid, and the recovered high-quality phosphoric acid can be directly used for production.
