[0003] Using the ammonia-soda process for alkali production, approximately 3.6 million cubic meters of ammonia-soaked calcium chloride solution are discharged annually in the Jilantai area of ​​Inner Mongolia alone. Each cubic meter of calcium chloride solution contains 920-950 kg of water, 125-135 kg of calcium chloride, and 55-65 kg of sodium chloride. Currently, the treatment method for this ammonia-soaked calcium chloride solution involves constructing large-scale calcium chloride ponds, discharging the solution into these ponds for natural evaporation through sun exposure, recovering the precipitated sodium chloride crystals, and using a nearby calcium chloride plant to produce calcium chloride products from the concentrated calcium chloride solution. However, a significant amount of water cannot be recovered.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] A comprehensive resource utilization system for denitrification of salt lake brine using ammonia-calcium distillate, such as... Figure 1As shown, it includes a reaction device 1, a clarification device 2, a filter press 3, a calcium ammonia stripping solution storage device 7, and a nitrate-rich brine storage device 4; the outlets of the calcium ammonia stripping solution storage device 7 and the nitrate-rich brine storage device 4 are both connected to the inlet of the reaction device 1 via pipelines; the outlet of the reaction device 1 is connected to the inlet of the clarification device 2, and the purified brine outlet of the clarification device 2 is connected to the inlet of the crude brine tank of the salt lake and / or the salt production system; the calcium sulfate turbid liquid outlet of the clarification device 2 is connected to the inlet of the filter press 3. The ammonia-calcium stripping solution in storage device 7 and the nitrate-rich brine in storage device 4 are added to reaction device 1. This allows SO42- in the nitrate-rich brine of the salt lake to combine with Ca2+ in the ammonia-calcium stripping solution to form calcium sulfate precipitate. After the reaction, the reaction solution is sent to clarification device 2. After multi-stage filtration in clarification device 2, calcium sulfate is removed. The remaining clarified brine meets the standards for high-quality intercrystalline brine and is either discharged into the waterway via the brine discharge ditch, or pumped to dynamically replenish the salt lake; or pumped into the crude brine tank of the salt production system for salt production. The calcium sulfate is dehydrated by pressure filtration device 3 and then used for backfilling and storage in the mined-out area.

[0024] In one specific embodiment, the clarification device 2 includes at least two clarification pools 2.1. The number of clarification pools 2.1 is determined based on the final clarified brine indicators obtained after filtration reaching the high-quality intercrystalline brine indicators. A sand filter dam 2.2 is provided between two adjacent clarification pools 2.1, and there is a height difference between the two adjacent clarification pools 2.1. This allows the brine in the clarification pools 2.1 to utilize the hydraulic gradient difference, flowing from the higher clarification pool 2.1 through the sand filter dam 2.2 and into the lower clarification pool 2.1, achieving the filtration purpose. The outlet of the reaction device 1 is connected to the inlet of the highest clarification pool 2.1; the lowest clarification pool 2.1 is connected to the inlet of the crude brine tank of the salt lake and / or the salt production system; the calcium sulfate turbid liquid outlet of each clarification pool 2.1 is connected to the inlet of the filter press device 3. The clarification pools 2.1 can be constructed using the mined-out areas near the salt lake, reducing construction costs, making reasonable use of land resources, and facilitating the subsequent filling and storage of calcium sulfate in the mined-out areas.

[0025] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sand filter dam 2.2 includes two side slope masonry layers 2.3 and a middle sand filter layer 2.4. The slope masonry layers 2.3 are constructed by staggered joints of several woven bags filled with coarse sand; the sand filter layer 2.4 is formed by filling the spaces between the two side slope masonry layers 2.3 with fine sand. The slope masonry layers 2.3 ensure that brine can pass through and achieve primary filtration while reinforcing the dam body, while the sand filter layer 2.4 is used to filter calcium sulfate precipitates. The sand filter dam 2.2 is 1.5 meters wide at the top, 2.5 meters wide at the bottom, and 1.2 meters high, while the width of the slope masonry layers 2.3 is less than 0.5 meters.

[0026] In one specific embodiment, the bottom and walls of the clarification tank 2.1 are both covered with two layers of polyvinyl chloride geomembrane for seepage prevention. The thickness of a single layer of membrane is 0.5 mm. Adjacent polyvinyl chloride geomembranes are laid in a staggered manner and welded together. Several clay bricks are placed at intervals above the polyvinyl chloride geomembrane laid on the bottom of the tank for pressing the membrane.

[0027] In one specific embodiment, a clear liquid tank 5 is provided between the lowest clarification tank 2.1 and the salt lake to store clarified brine that meets the standards for high-quality intercrystalline brine. The lowest clarification tank 2.1 and the clear liquid tank 5 are connected by a pipeline; the clear liquid tank 5 is connected to the inlet of the crude brine tank of the salt lake and / or the salt production system.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the reaction device 1 can be a reaction tank or a reactor. The total volume of the reaction tank is greater than 600 m³, ensuring that the residence time of the reaction liquid is greater than 40 min.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the filter press 3 is a desulfurized gypsum belt filter or a vacuum belt filter.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the ammonia-free calcium solution storage device 7 is a calcium solution buffer tank.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, it also includes a freezing tank 6, with the salt lake connected to the inlet of the freezing tank 6. The outlet of the rich brine in the freezing tank 6 is connected to the inlet of the rich brine storage device 4. The overflow outlet of the lean brine in the freezing tank 6 is connected to the inlet of the crude brine tank of the salt-making system via an overflow pipe. In winter, the rich brine in the salt lake is first pumped into the freezing tank 6. Taking advantage of the low winter temperature, sodium sulfate crystallizes and precipitates. The lean brine after sodium sulfate precipitation flows out through the overflow outlet and is pumped to the crude brine tank of the salt-making system for salt production. The remaining concentrated sodium sulfate is pumped to the rich brine storage device 4 to react with the ammonia-calcium stripping solution, removing calcium ions from the ammonia-calcium stripping solution and recovering the water from the ammonia-calcium stripping solution for salt lake replenishment. In other seasons, the rich brine in the salt lake is directly pumped into the rich brine storage device 4 for purifying and recovering the ammonia-calcium stripping solution.

[0032] By utilizing sodium sulfate, an impurity in the salt lake brine, to remove calcium ions from the ammonia-calcium stripping solution, the brine is purified while being recycled. The purified brine is then reused. By processing sodium sulfate and ammonia-calcium stripping solution at a 1:1 ratio, the sodium sulfate produced can process approximately 95,000 m³ of ammonia-calcium stripping solution annually. This significantly reduces the discharge of ammonia-calcium stripping solution, alleviates pressure on the calcium solution storage, extends the operating cycle of the calcium solution pool, and meets the environmental protection requirements of green mining.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
