Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a system for treating arsine production waste liquid. Background Technology
[0002] The domestic chip market is expanding rapidly, and the demand for arsine, an essential specialty gas in chip manufacturing, is also increasing. Currently, a relatively stable arsine production process involves reacting zinc arsenide with concentrated sulfuric acid under heating conditions. At the end of the reaction, the concentrations of both zinc arsenide and concentrated sulfuric acid decrease simultaneously. Adding more concentrated sulfuric acid would drastically increase the production cost of this portion due to diminishing marginal utility. Therefore, the residual zinc arsenide-sulfuric acid mixture is discharged as waste liquid. Under previous production processes, this waste liquid was treated as hazardous waste after adding an oxidant to oxidize the remaining zinc arsenide, which was costly. Utility Model Content

[0039] The filter includes a filter body 401, with a filter inlet 402 at the upper end of the filter body 401, which is connected to the outlet 304 of the intermediate water tank. A filter cylinder 409 is installed inside the filter body 401, with a pressure chamber connected to the upper end of the filter cylinder 409. The pressure chamber is connected to the outlet of the sedimentation tank body 201. The filter inlet 402 is connected to the pressure chamber at the upper end of the filter cylinder 409.

The residue collection tank body 501 is equipped with a residue collection tank discharge valve 502 at its lower end.
[0041] A process for treating arsine production waste liquid includes the following steps:
[0042] Step 1: Collect the arsine production waste liquid into the collection reactor;
[0043] Step 2: Add alkaline solution to the collecting reactor and start stirring. The alkaline solution reacts with the sulfuric acid in the waste liquid.
[0044] Step 3: Monitor the pH value in the collection reactor. When the threshold is reached, introduce the liquid in the collection reactor into the sedimentation tank for solid-liquid separation.
[0045] Step 4: After separation, the liquid is filtered to obtain a zinc sulfate solution.
[0046] In this embodiment, after the arsine production line completes its production and discharges waste liquid into the collection reactor, the agitator is turned on to add alkaline solution to consume the unreacted sulfuric acid. After observing that the pH value reaches a certain value, the addition of alkaline solution is stopped. After stirring and stabilizing for a period of time, the mixture is pumped to the sedimentation tank for solid-liquid separation. The sludge is manually discharged into the residue collection tank after sedimentation. Filter bags are installed in the residue collection tank to naturally filter the discharged residue. The clear liquid at the bottom of the collection tank is returned to the sedimentation tank. After the residue in the filter bags is collected to a certain extent, it is removed and stored and disposed of as hazardous waste at a designated location.
[0047] The supernatant in the sedimentation tank is discharged into the intermediate water tank, and then pumped to a precision filter. The precision filter uses filter bags and cartridges to filter the liquid. When the pressure transmitter on the filter reaches a certain pressure, it sends feedback to the control system to adjust the pump's operating frequency and maintain a certain pressure. After filtration is complete, nitrogen purging is initiated to remove residual moisture and any possible arsine gas using high-pressure nitrogen. The clear liquid discharged from the precision filter, after passing testing, can be used as an industrial zinc sulfate solution.
[0048] After a period of operation, the filter bags in the precision filter need to be replaced. Before opening the top cover, the pressure relief valve needs to be opened, and a portable detector should be used to check for the presence of harmful gases. Then, loosen the quick-release nut, rotate the top cover lifting device, open the top cover, remove the filter bag that needs to be replaced, replace it with a new filter bag, close the top cover, tighten the quick-release nut, and it is ready for the next use. The removed filter bags contain arsenic-containing sludge and should be disposed of as hazardous waste.
