[0037] This utility model relates to a recovery process based on the aforementioned coal chemical wastewater sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, and sodium nitrate resource recovery system, comprising the following steps:

[0038] S1, Pretreatment softening

[0039] High-salinity wastewater from coal chemical plants is fed into pretreatment softening unit 1, where liquid alkali is added to adjust the pH to 11-13, causing magnesium ions in the wastewater to precipitate as magnesium hydroxide. Sodium carbonate is then added, causing calcium ions to precipitate as calcium carbonate. After softening, the pH of the wastewater is adjusted to 6-8 using concentrated sulfuric acid, resulting in softened high-salinity wastewater from coal chemical plants. Coal chemical wastewater generally contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions, as well as trace amounts of other metal ions. Softening pretreatment removes most of the calcium and magnesium ions. The sludge from the softening pretreatment is pressed into sludge cakes using a plate and frame filter press. This sludge is considered general solid waste, resulting in low treatment costs.

[0040] S2, Evaporation and Concentration

[0041] The coal chemical high-salt softened wastewater in step S1 is sent to the evaporation and concentration device 2 for evaporation and concentration to increase the salt content, and a coal chemical high-salt wastewater concentrate is obtained.

[0042] S3, single-stage evaporation crystallization

[0043] The coal chemical high-salt wastewater concentrate from step S2 is sent to the first evaporation crystallization system 3 to precipitate sodium sulfate. The crystallization slurry is then separated by centrifugation to obtain sodium sulfate solid and evaporation mother liquor.

[0044] This invention can roughly control the purity of the precipitated sodium sulfate product by controlling the concentration of sodium chloride in the liquid phase of the evaporation system.

[0045] The material is further evaporated and concentrated in the first evaporation and crystallization device 31 until crystallization. The crystallized slurry is pumped to the first centrifuge 32 for centrifugation to obtain sodium sulfate solid. In order to further ensure the purity of sodium sulfate, the precipitated sodium sulfate enters the first washing tank 33 for washing to further improve the purity. The washing waste liquid is returned to the first evaporation and crystallization device 31 for further evaporation and crystallization. The washing slurry is centrifuged in the second centrifuge 34 to obtain pure sodium sulfate. After drying in the first drying system 35, sodium sulfate (sodium sulfate) is obtained as a by-product.

[0046] This invention controls the sodium chloride content in the first evaporation crystallization device 31 by discharging the mother liquor, which can ensure the purity of sodium sulfate obtained by evaporation crystallization. Generally, the sodium chloride content in the evaporation mother liquor is controlled at about 20-24%. When the sodium chloride content in the system is high, part of the mother liquor is discharged to the first freezing crystallization device 4.

[0047] S4, single-freeze crystallization

[0048] The mother liquor from step S3 is sent to the first freezing crystallization device 4, and the temperature is controlled from -5°C to -10°C to allow sodium sulfate in the mother liquor to crystallize out. Sodium sulfate decahydrate and freezing mother liquor are obtained by centrifugation.

[0049] The mother liquor discharged from the first evaporation crystallization system 3 has a high sodium chloride content, as well as a small amount of sodium sulfate and some sodium nitrate. In the first freezing crystallization device 4, this mother liquor is frozen to -5°C to -10°C. The sodium sulfate in the material can basically crystallize out in the form of sodium sulfate decahydrate. The sodium sulfate decahydrate is obtained by centrifugation by the third centrifuge 7. The obtained sodium sulfate decahydrate is transported to the first evaporation crystallization device 3 and processed together with other materials. Sodium sulfate is obtained by evaporation and crystallization. The frozen mother liquor is transported to the second evaporation crystallization system 5.

[0050] S5, Secondary evaporation crystallization

[0051] The frozen mother liquor from step S4 is sent to the second evaporation crystallization system 5 for evaporation crystallization treatment, so that sodium chloride in the frozen mother liquor precipitates out; sodium chloride and hot mother liquor are obtained by separation.

[0052] The mother liquor after freezing treatment by the first freezing crystallization device 4 contains virtually no sodium sulfate, but mainly sodium chloride and some sodium nitrate. The mother liquor is evaporated by the second evaporation crystallization system 5, and the sodium chloride will continuously crystallize out. The slurry is then centrifuged by the fourth centrifuge 52 while it is still hot to obtain sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is then obtained by washing in the second washing tank 53, centrifuging by the fifth centrifuge 54, and drying by the second drying device 55.

[0053] As evaporation continues, sodium nitrate in the material is continuously enriched. When its concentration reaches 40-50%, the hot mother liquor obtained by centrifugation in the fourth centrifuge 52 is transported to the second freezing crystallization device 6.

[0054] S6, Secondary Freezing Crystallization

[0055] The hot mother liquor in step S5 is cooled and crystallized to precipitate sodium nitrate crystals; sodium nitrate can be obtained by centrifugation.

[0056] The hot mother liquor in the second evaporation crystallization system 5, in which the sodium nitrate concentration has been enriched to 40-50%, is cooled to approximately 10-20 degrees Celsius, causing some sodium nitrate to crystallize out. This crystallizes and precipitates out after centrifugation in the sixth centrifuge 8, yielding sodium nitrate, which is then dried in the third drying unit 9.

[0057] After drying, it can be reused. The centrifuged mother liquor is then returned to the second evaporation and crystallization unit 51 for further processing.

[0058] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
