Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial wastewater resource recycling technology, and specifically relates to a copper smelting wastewater separation collection and cascade reuse system. Background Technology

[0002] Copper smelting production is characterized by large water consumption and diverse water quality requirements. The main water-using units in a copper smelter include makeup water for the circulating cooling water system, makeup water for the demineralized water station, water for the acid production process, and makeup water for the slag slow cooling area. The wastewater generated during copper smelting is diverse and complex in composition, resulting in a long wastewater treatment process and high energy consumption.

[0003] Currently, most copper smelters in China have implemented differentiated water supply and drainage, with production wastewater from each process directly discharged to wastewater treatment plants for differentiated treatment. Qualified reclaimed water from these plants is then reused at appropriate points of use. For example, the production wastewater drainage system collects clean wastewater from the demineralized water station and wastewater from various circulating water systems, sending it to the production wastewater treatment plant; the domestic sewage drainage system collects wastewater from all plant facilities, sending it to the domestic sewage treatment plant; and the waste acid and acidic wastewater drainage system collects waste acid from the flue gas acid production process and acidic wastewater from various processes, sending it to the waste acid and acidic wastewater treatment plant. The treated water from each wastewater treatment plant is then reused by different water-using units. However, this approach does not consider cascade utilization, directly discharging wastewater to various wastewater treatment plants, resulting in large wastewater volumes, large-scale wastewater treatment plants, and the need to increase the water recovery rate of the membrane concentration section, increasing the difficulty of wastewater treatment, and raising investment and operating costs, ultimately leading to insignificant environmental benefits.

[0040] The copper smelter's process units are divided into primary water-using units, secondary water-using units, tertiary water-using units, and final water-using units according to the different water quality. The primary water-using units include the demineralized water station, waste heat boiler, plant-wide living facilities, and sulfur dioxide fan cooling unit.

[0042] The demineralized water station and sulfur dioxide fan cooling unit use fresh production water or high-quality recycled water as their water source. All plant living facilities use domestic water supply as their water source, and the waste heat boiler uses demineralized water as its water source. Various circulating water stations are supplied with clean wastewater and direct-flow cooling water, with any shortfall supplemented by fresh production water. Casting circulating water uses general production wastewater from the secondary water-using unit as its water source. Specifically, the slag cooling yard uses high-salt recycled water, with any shortfall supplemented by primary recycled water; the blowing slag granulation unit, acid production section floor washing water, waste acid and acidic wastewater treatment agent preparation water, and flue gas purification process water use primary recycled water; and landscaping and road watering water uses greywater recycled water.

[0043] In this embodiment, the 1300m³ of demineralized water from the first-stage water-using unit is used. 3 / d of water is used for desalination, and 335m³ of water is discharged. 3 / d Clean wastewater is supplied to the boiler circulating water station, equipment circulating water station, oxygen station circulating water station, and waste heat power generation circulating water station for recycling, and then used in an 8500m³ process. 3 / d Fresh water is produced to replenish the water supply, generating 1250m³ 3 / d of general production wastewater; 965m³ of wastewater discharged from the demineralized water station 3 The demineralized water is supplied to waste heat boilers (including smelting waste heat boilers and acid conversion waste heat boilers). Since the impurities in the concentrated water discharged from the demineralized water station are only the enrichment of salt in municipal water and do not contain other pollutants, it can be used as clean wastewater. Its water quality meets the requirements of GB19923-2024 "Urban Wastewater Reuse - Industrial Water Quality" standard and can be directly supplied to the circulating water station for use.

[0044] 1920m 3 The fresh water produced per day is supplied to the cooling unit of the sulfur dioxide fan.

[0047] The waste acid discharged from the flue gas sulfuric acid production section is treated by sulfidation for arsenic removal and lime neutralization at the waste acid treatment station. The resulting acidic wastewater, along with the acidic wastewater from the flue gas sulfuric acid production section and the initial rainwater from the sulfuric acid zone, is then sent to the acidic wastewater treatment station for further treatment. The acidic wastewater treatment station employs a lime-iron salt heavy metal removal-aluminum salt fluoride removal-electrochemical treatment process to remove heavy metals and other impurities from the wastewater and to neutralize the wastewater, yielding 1650m³ of treated wastewater. 3 / d of primary recycled water, the treated primary recycled water meets the requirements of GB 25467-2010 "Emission Standard of Pollutants for Copper, Nickel and Cobalt Industries". The resulting 1650m³3 / d Primary recycled water is supplied to the slag cooling yard (650m) 3 / d), blowing slag granulation unit (100m 3 / d), Sulfuric acid production section floor flushing water unit (10m 3 / d) and flue gas purification process water supply unit (890m 3 / d)
