BACKGROUND

[0002] The leather-making industry not only brings economic benefits and meets people's needs, but also causes serious pollution to the environment, especially to water resources. Chrome tanning is one of the important methods for tanning leather. Since chrome tanning can endow leather with excellent properties, most of the leather is tanned with chrome. However, in the traditional tanning process, the effective utilization rate of chrome is relatively low, generally only 60%-70%, and the remaining 30%-40% of the chrome remains in the wastewater, with a chromium content of 2000-5000 mg / L as Cr2O3. The discharge of chrome tanning wastewater not only causes great waste of resources, but also causes serious pollution to the ecological environment. Therefore, the treatment of chrome tanning wastewater has always been a problem that must be solved in the leather-making industry.

[0003] At present, several common methods for treating chrome tanning wastewater include alkali precipitation, recycling, extraction, and chemical method. The first two methods are relatively mature, but have limitations: first, the alkali precipitation method requires a large area, a large amount of chemicals, and is difficult to stabilize and meet the standards; second, it produces a large amount of waste chromium residue, which may cause secondary pollution if not properly treated; third, the metal chromium cannot be effectively recovered, resulting in waste of resources.

[0025] The wastewater collection tank (1) is connected to a wastewater manifold that discharges chromium tanning waste liquid filtered by a 3-5mm bar screen into the tank.

[0026] The MCR membrane tank (3) is equipped with a backwashing device, and the MCR membrane tank (3) contains an MCR membrane with a pore size of 0.1-0.4μm. Acid can be used to backwash the MCR membrane as needed, effectively preventing clogging, extending its service life, and reducing maintenance or replacement costs.

[0027] The primary ion exchange column (5) and the secondary ion exchange column (8) are composed of multi-stage ion exchange columns. The top of the ion exchange column is equipped with a pressure gauge (15) and a compressed air inlet (16). The inside is filled with an amphoteric ion exchange fiber containing two functional groups, -COOH and -NH2. In order to reduce the resistance of liquid flow, the ion exchange column adopts a multi-layer filling structure. Each layer is separated by a porous sieve plate (14). The porous sieve plate (14) has small holes with a diameter of 2-4 mm evenly distributed on it.

[0028] The relay pool (6) is provided with a dosing device for adding sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid into the pool, a pH meter and an aeration stirring device.

[0029] The acid storage barrel (9) and the alkali storage barrel (10) are provided with aeration stirring devices.

[0031] Adjusting valves capable of controlling the flow of liquid in the pipes are arranged on all the pipes.

[0032] The utility model discloses a method for extracting basic chromium sulfate from chrome tanning waste liquid by ion exchange technology, which is simple and convenient to operate and does not cause secondary pollution. First, insoluble impurities in the waste liquid are filtered out by a pretreatment system, and then the impurity-removed chrome tanning waste liquid is adsorbed by a first ion exchange column, and then the adsorbed waste liquid is added into a relay barrel, and acid is added to adjust the pH value of the waste liquid, and then the adjusted waste liquid is continuously added into a second ion exchange column for standard treatment, and the total chromium concentration in the effluent is always less than 0.5 mg / L, which fully meets the standard.

[0033] The utility model discloses a product can according to the actual situation of wastewater, set up multiple ion exchange column parallel, series mode operation, at the same time for reducing the resistance of liquid flow, the ion exchange fiber column inside adopts multilayer filling structure. The amphoteric ion exchange fiber filled in the ion exchange column is a fibrous ion exchange material developed on the basis of ion exchange resin. The ion exchange fiber is an ion exchanger with fibrous material as the skeleton, and ion exchange groups mostly exist on the filament surface. In the ion exchange process, the ion exchange fiber reduces the penetration process of ions in the particles relative to the ion exchange resin, greatly improving the ion exchange speed. The amphoteric ion exchange fiber has the characteristics of large specific surface area, fast exchange speed, high regeneration efficiency, strong anti-pollution ability and the like, and also has selective adsorption function for trivalent chromium. The amphoteric ion exchange fiber contains ionizable weak acid and weak alkaline groups such as carboxyl and amine groups on the filament surface, which can ionize in the solution and produce exchangeable ions. Trivalent chromium ions exist in the form of basic chromium sulfate in the solution within a certain pH range, and can exchange with the ions ionized from the amphoteric ion exchange fiber, so as to be adsorbed on the fiber surface. Relative to sodium ions, calcium ions and magnesium ions, the amphoteric ion exchange fiber has stronger selective adsorption capacity for trivalent chromium ions, reducing the influence of other ions on the adsorption of trivalent chromium by the amphoteric ion exchange fiber, so as to achieve the adsorption and purification effect. After the amphoteric ion exchange fiber is saturated, the basic chromium sulfate concentrate is obtained through regeneration and is returned to the pickling and tanning processes, meeting the normal tanning production requirements.
