Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of industrial wastewater treatment and relates to a device for recycling ammonium sulfate in the process of treating glyphosate mother liquor. Background Art
[0002] Glyphosate mother liquor is a type of wastewater generated during the production of glyphosate technical. Its composition is complex, primarily containing organic phosphorus, organic nitrogen, and sodium chloride. Our company currently uses wet oxidation technology to treat this organic wastewater. The organic matter in the wastewater undergoes an oxidation reaction under high temperature and high pressure to produce an oxidation liquid (organic amines are oxidized to ammonia, and large-molecule organic matter is oxidized to small-molecule organic matter and carbon dioxide). At high temperature, some low-molecular organic matter and ammonia enter the tail gas, where they are absorbed by dilute sulfuric acid to produce tail gas absorption wastewater with high COD and ammonia nitrogen content. The oxidation liquid then enters a steam stripping tower to further remove ammonia nitrogen, resulting in dilute ammonia water with high COD and ammonium carbonate content. This treatment is difficult, so a new technology is urgently needed to effectively treat both wastewaters to recover nitrogen resources and improve resource utilization. Utility Model Content
