Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bromonitrile production technology, and in particular to a wastewater treatment system for bromonitrile production. Background Technology
[0002] Brominnitrophenol is a novel bactericide and preservative, primarily used in cosmetics and leather preservation. It is also used as a bactericide in agriculture and medicine. Furthermore, it is a broad-spectrum and highly effective industrial bactericide used to prevent the growth and reproduction of bacteria and algae in papermaking, industrial circulating cooling water, metalworking lubricants, pulp, wood, coatings, and plywood, and is widely used in paper mill pulp and circulating cooling water systems. Currently, industrially, nitromethane, formaldehyde, and bromine are mainly used as raw materials. The crude brominnitrophenol is obtained through carbonyl methylation, bromination, and neutralization separation, followed by crystallization to obtain purified brominnitrophenol. However, actual production generates a large amount of wastewater, such as during aqueous phase separation after the reaction, during distillation and recrystallization of the mother liquor, and during rinsing of reaction equipment. This wastewater contains residual raw materials, products, and oil, and is corrosive; direct discharge would cause environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a wastewater treatment system for brominnitrophenol production to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0011] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] The wastewater treatment system for bromonitrile production includes a flocculation device connected to a wastewater conveying pipeline. The outlet of the flocculation device is connected to a neutralization tank, the outlet of the neutralization tank is connected to an adsorption tank, the outlet of the adsorption tank is connected to an anaerobic treatment device, the outlet of the anaerobic treatment device is connected to an ion exchange resin device, the outlet of the ion exchange resin device is connected to a reverse osmosis membrane treatment device, and the outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane treatment device is connected to a wastewater discharge pipeline. In actual production, wastewater collected during the production of bromonitol is pumped through a wastewater pipeline to the flocculation equipment. After reacting with the flocculant, the wastewater forms flocculated sediment (removing suspended solids, colloidal substances, and some organic matter). The wastewater then flows through a pipeline into a neutralization tank, where it is adjusted to neutral pH before entering an adsorption tank. Adsorption by the adsorption layer effectively removes pigments, organic matter, and heavy metal ions. The wastewater then flows through a pipeline into an anaerobic treatment unit, where further treatment removes organic matter, toxic substances, and sulfates. Next, it enters an ion exchange resin treatment unit, where heavy metal cations and anions are effectively removed. Finally, it undergoes reverse osmosis membrane treatment, which effectively removes dissolved salts, small molecule organic matter, and microorganisms, reducing environmental pollution. Once the wastewater meets discharge standards, it is discharged through a wastewater discharge pipeline. This wastewater treatment system is rationally designed, effectively treating wastewater and reducing environmental pollution.
[0013] The flocculation equipment includes a main body, inside which are interconnected a first reaction chamber, a second reaction chamber, and a settling chamber. The first reaction chamber has an inlet on one side and a dosing port on the top, while the second settling chamber has a dosing port on the top. A first partition separates the first and second reaction chambers, and a second partition separates the second reaction chamber and the settling chamber. An outlet is located at the bottom of the first partition and at the top of the second partition. Each of the first, second, and settling chambers has a rotating shaft inside, one end of which is connected to a motor. Multiple stirring plates are mounted on the rotating shaft. The settling chamber has multiple corrugated plates inside, a conical bottom, a drain pipe at the bottom, and an outlet on one side of the upper part of the settling chamber. Wastewater enters the first reaction chamber, where reagents are added and the wastewater is stirred by a rotating shaft and agitator plates. After sufficient reaction, the wastewater enters the second reaction chamber, where reagents are added again and the wastewater is stirred by a rotating shaft and agitator plates. After sufficient reaction, the wastewater enters the settling chamber, where the formed flocculent sediments accumulate at the bottom. With further stirring by the rotating shaft and agitator plates, the flocculent sediments are discharged through a drain pipe, while the wastewater passing through the corrugated plate is discharged from the outlet. This flocculation equipment, with its reasonable design, effectively settles suspended solids and particulate matter in wastewater, facilitating subsequent effective wastewater treatment.
[0014] The neutralization tank comprises a tank body and a cover. An inlet is located on one side of the tank body, a pH adjuster inlet is located at the top, and a drain outlet is located on one side of the lower part. Inside the tank body is a rotating shaft, one end of which is connected to a motor. Multiple stirring rods are mounted on the shaft, and each stirring rod has multiple triangular stirring blocks. Wastewater treated by the flocculation equipment enters the tank body, and a pH adjuster is added. After the motor starts, it drives the rotating shaft, the stirring rods, and the triangular stirring blocks to mix the wastewater and the pH adjuster. Once the pH of the wastewater is determined to be neutral using pH test strips, the wastewater is then transferred to the next treatment device. This neutralization tank design is reasonable and facilitates the adjustment of the wastewater's pH to neutral.
[0015] The adsorption tank comprises a tank body with an inlet pipe on one side and an outlet pipe on the other. Inside the tank body are perforated first, second, and third partition plates. A diatomaceous earth adsorption layer lies between the first partition plate and the tank body; an activated carbon adsorption layer lies between the first and second partition plates; and an alumina adsorption layer lies between the second and third partition plates. A water storage area is formed between the third partition plate and the tank body. After entering the tank body, wastewater first undergoes adsorption treatment by the diatomaceous earth adsorption layer, then passes through the first partition plate, followed by adsorption treatment by the activated carbon adsorption layer, then through the second partition plate, then through the alumina adsorption layer, and finally through the third partition plate into the water storage area, before being discharged through the outlet pipe. This adsorption tank design is reasonable. Through the synergistic effect of the diatomaceous earth, activated carbon, and alumina adsorption layers, it can effectively remove some organic matter, pigments, and metal ions, reducing wastewater pollution to the surrounding environment.
[0016] The anaerobic treatment equipment consists of a main body with an inlet and an outlet at the top and an outlet on one side of the lower part. Inside the main body is a hollow cylinder containing a microbial layer. A stirring shaft is located at the top of the cylinder, with a motor connected to one end. A mounting base with multiple stirring rods is mounted on the stirring shaft. When wastewater enters the main body, the motor starts, driving the stirring shaft and multiple stirring plates to rotate, ensuring full contact between the wastewater and the microbial layer. The microbial layer effectively degrades the organic matter in the wastewater. The generated gas is then discharged through the outlet to other treatment equipment (not included in the protected content and therefore not described in detail) for further treatment. This anaerobic treatment equipment is rationally designed and can effectively degrade organic matter in wastewater, reducing wastewater pollution to the surrounding environment.
[0017] The ion exchange resin treatment equipment comprises cation exchange resin treatment equipment, anion exchange resin treatment equipment, and chelating resin treatment equipment connected in series. This combined resin treatment equipment can effectively remove metal cations, anions, and heavy metal ions, reducing wastewater pollution to the surrounding environment. Attached Figure Description
