Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of high-salt wastewater evaporation and salt separation technology, specifically relating to a mixed solution of ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate for evaporation, crystallization and salt separation treatment. Background Technology
[0002] The production process of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries can be simplified as follows: first, iron phosphate is produced; then, iron phosphate is sintered with lithium carbonate, glucose, etc., to produce lithium iron phosphate. The production of iron phosphate generates a large amount of wastewater. Depending on the raw materials used, the production process of iron phosphate can be broadly divided into the ammonia method and the sodium method. The main difference is that the ammonia method uses ammonia water, while the sodium method uses sodium hydroxide. Due to increased competition in the iron phosphate industry in recent years, manufacturers tend to favor the lower-cost ammonia method. The ammonia method for iron phosphate production produces mother liquor and wash water containing ammonium sulfate, which may contain a small amount of monoammonium phosphate. After pretreatment and membrane concentration, the mother liquor is sent to an evaporation and crystallization system to produce ammonium sulfate byproducts for sale, while the distilled water is reused and miscellaneous salts are shipped out.
[0003] Currently, the main process for treating ferric phosphate and ammonium sulfate wastewater is "pretreatment + reverse osmosis + evaporation crystallization". Generally, the reverse osmosis process concentrates the wastewater's TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) to about 15%, and this portion of the wastewater is then sent to the evaporation crystallization system. Conventional evaporation crystallization systems produce ammonium sulfate as a byproduct, but rarely can they separate the salts to produce monoammonium phosphate. Therefore, when the phosphate content in the wastewater increases, the quality of the ammonium sulfate byproduct inevitably fails to meet external sales standards, and the amount of impurities increases, reducing the byproduct revenue for ferric phosphate producers, which is unacceptable in the current economic environment.
[0004] In view of this, providing a process for the separate crystallization of monoammonium phosphate, improving the stability of ammonium sulfate byproduct quality, reducing the amount of mixed salts produced, and realizing the evaporation, crystallization, and salt separation of ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate has become an urgent problem to be solved at this stage.

[0038] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a salt separation system for evaporation and crystallization of a mixture of ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate, which includes: a preheating unit 1, an ammonium sulfate evaporation and concentration unit 2, an ammonium sulfate evaporation and crystallization unit 3, a heat recovery and exchange unit 4, an ammonium sulfate post-treatment unit 5, a monoammonium phosphate cooling and crystallization unit 6, a monoammonium phosphate post-treatment unit 7, and a miscellaneous salt treatment unit 8.
[0039] The preheating unit 1 includes a feed tank 11, a water pump 12, a distilled water preheater 13, and a steam preheater 14. A mixture of ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate is fed into the feed tank 11 as raw water. The raw water is then pumped by the water pump 12 into the distilled water preheater 13 and the steam preheater 14. The distilled water preheater 13 has a first heat exchange chamber for receiving distilled water to preheat the raw water initially. The steam preheater 14 has a second heat exchange chamber for receiving steam to preheat the raw water a second time. The raw water is generally preheated to 90-100°C. Both the distilled water preheater 13 and the steam preheater 14 use plate heat exchangers.
[0040] The ammonium sulfate evaporation and concentration unit 2 includes a falling film evaporator 21, a falling film circulating pump 22, a falling film separator 23, and a falling film transfer pump 24. The falling film evaporator 21 is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with two interfaces: a hot side and a cold side. The hot side is compressor outlet steam or live steam, and the cold side is circulating liquid. The medium on the hot side is high-temperature steam, which heats the heat exchange tubes of the falling film evaporator to transfer heat to heat the circulating liquid on the cold side. The temperature of the steam on the hot side is about 105°C, and the temperature of the circulating liquid on the cold side is about 90°C. In this example, the falling film circulating pump 22 draws the circulating liquid from the bottom of the falling film evaporator 21 and returns it to the top of the evaporator 21, entering the cold side of the evaporator. The wastewater undergoes heat exchange and evaporation with the hot-side steam in the heat exchange tubes, requiring the concentrated liquid to be free of crystalline salts. Generally, after the concentrated wastewater reaches a TDS of 45%-50%, it is transported to the ammonium sulfate evaporation and crystallization unit 3 via the falling film transfer pump 24. The falling film transfer pump 24 typically operates at a variable frequency, its operating frequency interlocked with the liquid level in the ammonium sulfate evaporation and crystallization unit 3. The secondary steam generated from evaporation and concentration enters the falling film separator 23, which has a built-in demister. The secondary steam after passing through the falling film separator 23 enters the gas scrubbing tower 42 in the recovery heat exchange unit 4. The condensate generated after heat exchange on the hot side of the falling film evaporator 21 is discharged to the condensate tank 43 in the recovery heat exchange unit 4, and then transported by the condensate pump 44 to the first heat exchange chamber of the distilled water preheater 13 to preheat the raw water, achieving energy recovery.
[0041] The ammonium sulfate evaporation and crystallization unit 3 includes a forced circulation crystallization separator 31, a forced circulation evaporator 32, a forced circulation pump 33, and an ammonium sulfate discharge pump 34. A falling film transfer pump 24 delivers 45-50% concentrated liquid to the crystallization separator 31. The liquid circulates and exchanges heat in the forced circulation evaporator 32 via the forced circulation pump 33, and after heating, it flashes and evaporates in the crystallization separator 31 to achieve ammonium sulfate crystallization. The forced circulation evaporator 32 is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with two interfaces: a hot side and a cold side. The hot side receives compressor outlet steam or live steam, while the cold side receives circulating liquid. The medium on the hot side is high-temperature steam, which heats the heat exchange tubes of the forced circulation evaporator 32 to transfer heat to heat the circulating liquid on the cold side. The steam temperature on the hot side is approximately 105°C, and the circulating liquid temperature on the cold side is approximately 97°C. In this example, the forced circulation pump 33 is an axial flow pump with a design head of 2.8~4m and an outlet pressure of 0.25~0.32MPa. The outlet of the forced circulation pump 33 is connected to the cold side of the forced circulation evaporator 32. After heat exchange, it returns to the forced circulation crystallizer 31 for flash crystallization. The secondary steam generated at the top enters the gas scrubbing tower 42 in the recovery heat exchange unit 4. The concentrated salt slurry (solid content 5%~15%) at the bottom of the crystallizer 31 is transported to the post-ammonium sulfate post-treatment unit 5 via the ammonium sulfate discharge pump 34.
[0042] The heat recovery unit 4 includes a compressor 41, a gas scrubbing tower 42, a condensate tank 43, and a condensate pump 44. The compressor 41 is a centrifugal steam compressor that pressurizes and heats the secondary steam generated by the falling film evaporator 21 and the forced circulation evaporator 32 to increase its calorific value. The steam is then returned to the falling film separator 23 and the forced circulation crystallizer 31 as a heat source for evaporation, concentration, and crystallization of the circulating liquid. The secondary steam generated by the falling film separator 23 and the forced circulation crystallizer 31 is defoamed by the gas scrubbing tower 42 before entering the compressor 41, which increases the temperature of the secondary steam by 18-20°C. The secondary steam exiting the compressor 41 returns to the falling film evaporator 21 and the forced circulation evaporator 32 for heat exchange and condensation before entering the condensate tank 43. The condensate is then pumped by the condensate pump 44 to the first heat exchange chamber of the distilled water preheater 13 to exchange heat with the raw water. After the condensate temperature drops to 50-60°C, it is discharged outside the system. If a lower condensate temperature is required, consider adding a condensate cooling plate, which can further reduce the condensate temperature to below 45℃.
[0043] The ammonium sulfate post-processing unit 5 includes an ammonium sulfate thickener 51, an ammonium sulfate centrifuge 52, an ammonium sulfate mother liquor tank 53, and an ammonium sulfate mother liquor pump 54. The ammonium sulfate thickener 51 is equipped with a stirrer to increase the solid-liquid ratio of the concentrated salt slurry. One end of the thickener is connected to the ammonium sulfate discharge pump 34 of the ammonium sulfate evaporation and crystallization unit, and the other end is connected to the ammonium sulfate centrifuge 52. The ammonium sulfate centrifuge 52 is a solid-liquid separation device, which can be a two-stage pusher centrifuge, a horizontal screw centrifuge, etc. It can centrifuge and dehydrate ammonium sulfate to a moisture content of 3%~5%. Generally, the wet salt after centrifugation will be dried again in a fluidized bed dryer to a moisture content of less than 0.5% to obtain ammonium sulfate. After centrifugation, the ammonium sulfate mother liquor flows by gravity to the ammonium sulfate mother liquor tank 53, and is then transported to the ammonium sulfate strong circulation crystallization separator 31 by the ammonium sulfate mother liquor pump 54. When the monoammonium phosphate content in the mother liquor rises to the set concentration, the ammonium sulfate mother liquor pump 54 transports the ammonium sulfate mother liquor to the low-temperature flash crystallizer 61 in the monoammonium phosphate post-treatment unit 6 for low-temperature flash crystallization.
[0044] The monoammonium phosphate cooling crystallization unit 6 includes a low-temperature flash crystallizer 61, a flash circulation pump 62, a steam condenser 63, a vacuum pump 64, and a phosphate discharge pump 65. The vacuum pump 64 draws negative pressure into the low-temperature flash crystallizer 61, and the ammonium sulfate mother liquor pump 54 transports the high-temperature ammonium sulfate mother liquor (temperature 95~100℃) to the low-temperature flash crystallizer 61. Under negative pressure conditions, flash crystallization occurs. Since the solubility of monoammonium phosphate decreases rapidly with decreasing temperature, monoammonium phosphate is crystallized and produced in the low-temperature flash crystallizer 61. In this example, the flash circulation pump 62 is an axial flow pump with a head of 2.5~3.5m. It extracts the circulating liquid from the low-temperature flash crystallizer 61 and returns it to the crystallizer to circulate and flash-cool the mother liquor. The generated secondary steam is cooled by the steam condenser 63, which is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The hot side inlet is for secondary steam, and the hot side outlet is connected to the vacuum pump 64. The cold side is circulated with circulating water. After the secondary steam is condensed in the steam condenser 63, it enters the condensate tank. The remaining tail gas is extracted by the vacuum pump 64 and discharged into the atmosphere. The brine slurry in the low-temperature flash crystallizer 61 is discharged to the ammonium phosphate thickener 71 in the monoammonium phosphate post-treatment unit 7 via the ammonium phosphate discharge pump 65.
[0045] The monoammonium phosphate (MAP) post-processing unit 7 includes a MAP thickener 71, a MAP centrifuge 72, a MAP mother liquor tank 73, and a MAP mother liquor pump 74. The MAP thickener 71 is equipped with a stirrer to increase the solid-liquid ratio of the concentrated MAP slurry. One end of the thickener is connected to the MAP mother liquor pump 74 of the MAP cooling and crystallization unit, and the other end is connected to the MAP centrifuge 72. The MAP centrifuge 72 is a solid-liquid separation device, and can be a two-stage pusher centrifuge, a horizontal screw centrifuge, a scraper centrifuge, etc. It can centrifuge and dehydrate MAP to a moisture content of 3%~5%. Generally, the centrifuged wet salt will be further dried and dehydrated in a fluidized bed dryer to a moisture content of less than 0.5%, yielding MAP. After centrifugation, the ammonium phosphate mother liquor flows by gravity to the ammonium phosphate mother liquor tank 73, and is then transported by the ammonium phosphate mother liquor pump 74 to the low-temperature flash crystallizer 61 of the monoammonium phosphate cooling crystallization unit 6. When the content of impurities in the ammonium phosphate mother liquor rises to the design concentration, the ammonium phosphate mother liquor pump 74 transports the ammonium phosphate mother liquor to the impurities treatment unit 8.
[0046] The mixed salt processing unit 8 includes a mother liquor dryer 81; the mother liquor dryer 81 is a scraper drum dryer or a rake dryer. After the ammonium phosphate mother liquor enters the mother liquor dryer 81, the mother liquor dryer 81 dries the ammonium phosphate mother liquor and outputs mixed salt.
[0047] This invention provides a system for the evaporation, crystallization, and salt separation of a mixture of ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate: the mixture, used as raw water, is heated to 90-100°C after passing through a distilled water preheater 13 and a steam preheater 14. The preheated raw water then enters a falling film evaporator 21, where it is concentrated at 90°C. After the raw water is concentrated to a TDS of 40-45%, it is transported to an ammonium sulfate crystallizer 31 via a falling film transfer pump 24. The raw water is heated to approximately 97°C in the crystallizer 31 to produce ammonium sulfate crystals, which are then transported to an ammonium sulfate thickener 51 via an ammonium sulfate discharge pump 24. After passing through an ammonium sulfate centrifuge... After centrifugation, ammonium sulfate wet salt is obtained. The ammonium sulfate mother liquor after centrifugation is returned to the ammonium sulfate crystallizer 31 via the ammonium sulfate mother liquor pump 54. When the concentration of monoammonium phosphate reaches the design value, the mother liquor is transported to the low-temperature flash crystallizer 61 via the ammonium sulfate mother liquor pump 54. The monoammonium phosphate slurry produced by low-temperature crystallization is transported to the ammonium phosphate thickener 71 via the ammonium phosphate discharge pump 65. After passing through the ammonium phosphate centrifuge 72, monoammonium phosphate wet salt is obtained. When the content of impurities in the ammonium phosphate mother liquor rises to the design concentration, the ammonium phosphate mother liquor pump 74 transports the ammonium phosphate mother liquor to the mother liquor dryer 81 in the impurity salt treatment unit to obtain impurity salt. The technical solution adopted by this utility model is for the combined treatment of mixed liquids containing ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate, which can obtain qualified ammonium sulfate crystals, monoammonium phosphate crystals, and mixed salts, and can effectively improve the by-product efficiency of wastewater treatment systems.
[0048] The workflow of the above-mentioned ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate mixed solution evaporation crystallization salt separation treatment system includes the following steps:
[0049] (1) Preheat the raw water containing the mixture of ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate to 90~100℃;
[0050] (2) The evaporation temperature of the ammonium sulfate evaporation and concentration unit 2 and the ammonium sulfate evaporation and crystallization unit 3 is set to 80-85℃. The secondary steam enters the compressor 41 after being defoamed by the gas scrubbing tower 42.
[0051] (3) The ammonium sulfate evaporation and concentration unit 2 and the ammonium sulfate evaporation and crystallization unit 3 generate secondary steam (steam temperature 80-85℃). After being heated by the compressor 41, the secondary steam temperature is raised to 100-105℃ and then returned to the falling film evaporator 21 and the forced circulation evaporator 32 to exchange heat with the circulating liquid.
[0052] (4) After the ammonium sulfate is evaporated and concentrated, the concentration of the mixture reaches 45%-50%. Then it is discharged to the ammonium sulfate evaporation and crystallization unit 3 to produce ammonium sulfate salt. After passing through the post-treatment unit, the wet ammonium sulfate salt and centrifugal mother liquor are produced. The ammonium sulfate mother liquor is discharged to the monoammonium phosphate cooling and crystallization unit 6. Due to the decrease in temperature, the solubility of monoammonium phosphate decreases. Monoammonium phosphate is cooled to 40°C and then crystallized (freezing crystallization can be considered when the concentration of monoammonium phosphate is high). After passing through the post-treatment unit, the wet monoammonium phosphate salt and centrifugal mother liquor are produced.
[0053] (5) The centrifuged mother liquor of monoammonium phosphate is discharged to the mother liquor dryer 81. The mother liquor dryer 81 is a scraper drum dryer or a rake dryer. After the mother liquor enters the mother liquor dryer 81, it produces mixed salts.
[0054] Compared with existing technologies, this invention can stably produce monoammonium phosphate byproducts by evaporating and crystallizing ammonium sulfate, cooling and crystallizing monoammonium phosphate, and drying the mother liquor to produce impurities. It can also ensure the stability of the quality of ammonium sulfate byproducts, reduce the amount of impurities, and increase the economic benefits of the byproducts ammonium sulfate and monoammonium phosphate.
