Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to wastewater treatment technology, and more particularly to a semi-coke wastewater treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Semi-coke, also known as semi-coke, is a low-volatile solid carbonaceous product obtained by dry distilling non-caking or weakly caking high-volatile bituminous coal under medium and low temperature conditions, after which coal tar and coal gas are released. It possesses excellent characteristics such as high fixed carbon, high resistivity, high reactivity, high calorific value, and extremely low sulfur, aluminum, and phosphorus content. Semi-coke has a wide range of applications, serving as a raw material in industries such as metallurgy, calcium carbide, fertilizer, and activated carbon, and can also be used as a clean fuel in clean production processes.

[0003] Semi-coke wastewater mainly refers to the wastewater generated during the low-temperature (500-700℃) dry distillation of coal. Its main pollutants are phenols, CO2, H2S, ammonia, various fatty acids, and oils, making it a typical highly polluted and toxic industrial wastewater with high COD and ammonia nitrogen levels. The presence of these substances makes its treatment difficult, leading some companies to treat this wastewater through direct incineration. While this method is simple, the oils, phenols, and ammonia nitrogen in the wastewater are important raw materials in organic chemistry and have high utilization value; direct incineration leads to resource waste.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a semi-coke wastewater treatment device, including a raw water tank 1, an oil separation tank 2, a flocculation tank 3, an intermediate water tank 10, an acid and ammonia removal device 4, a cooler 20, an extraction device 5, and a biochemical treatment device 6 connected in series. Oil separator 2 is also connected to demulsifier metering pump 21 and oil separation collection tank 22 respectively, and flocculation tank 3 is connected to flocculant metering pump 31. The acid and ammonia removal device 4 is also connected to the acid gas collection device 7 and the ammonia gas collection device 8, respectively. The intermediate water tank 10 and the deacidification and deammoniation unit 4 are connected by a transfer pump 30.

[0018] In use, the device of this application transfers the semi-coke wastewater stored in the raw water tank 1 to the oil separation tank 2. A demulsifier (such as a surfactant) is added by the demulsifier metering pump 21 and stirred to break up the emulsified oil droplets in the wastewater. After settling, the oil and water are separated. The separated oil (floating on the liquid surface) is collected in the oil separation collection tank 22, while the water at the bottom is discharged into the flocculation tank 3 through the outlet at the bottom of the oil separation tank 2. A flocculant (such as an aqueous solution of polyacrylamide) is added by the flocculant metering pump 31 to flocculate, adsorbing and settling the fine dust and other solid particles in the wastewater.

[0019] The separated upper wastewater is transferred to the intermediate water tank 10, and then the wastewater is transferred to the deacidification and deammoniation device 4 through the transfer pump 30 for treatment. During the treatment process, the separated acid gas enters the acid gas collection device 7 for treatment and recovery, and the ammonia gas enters the ammonia gas collection device 8 for treatment and recovery.

[0020] The wastewater after deacidification and deammoniation treatment is then fed into cooler 20 to cool down (to about 30°C; multiple coolers 20 can also be connected in series to improve the heat exchange effect). The cooled wastewater is then transferred to extraction device 5 for extraction to extract the organic phenols. The extracted wastewater is then transferred to biochemical treatment device 6 for biochemical treatment and reuse.

[0021] This application provides a semi-coke wastewater treatment device. It employs an oil separation tank 2 to break down and separate emulsified oil droplets in the wastewater, and a flocculation tank 3 to flocculate and settle settleable particulate matter, improving the wastewater's cleanliness. The wastewater is then fed into a deacidification and deammoniation device 4 for deacidification and deammoniation, while the released acid and ammonia gases are recovered and treated in an acid gas collection device 7 and an ammonia gas collection device 8, respectively. The deacidified and deammonerated wastewater is then fed into an extraction device 5 for extraction to separate organic phenols. Finally, the extracted wastewater is fed into a biochemical treatment device 6 for biochemical treatment. This device, through the combined use of the above equipment, recovers acids, ammonia, and organic phenols from semi-coke wastewater, overcoming the resource waste caused by traditional incineration methods.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, a coalescer 32 is also provided between the flocculation tank 3 and the intermediate water tank 10, and the coalescer 32 is also connected to the oil collection tank 22.

[0023] In this application, since the wastewater still contains a small amount of oil droplets, the supernatant of the flocculated wastewater is transferred to the coalescer 32 to further separate the oil droplets from the wastewater, and the separated oil is transferred to the oil collection tank 22 for recovery.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the deacidification and deammoniation device 4 includes a first heat exchanger 41, a second heat exchanger 42 and a deacidification tower 43 connected in series. The bottom outlet of the deacidification tower 43 is connected in sequence to the shell side of the second heat exchanger 42 and the deammoniation tower 44; The bottom outlet of the ammonia removal tower 44 is connected in sequence to the shell side of the first heat exchanger 41 and the tube side of the cooler 20. The acid removal tower 43 is connected to the acid gas collection device 7, and the ammonia removal tower 44 is connected to the ammonia gas collection device 8; The deammonia removal tower 44 is also connected to the alkali storage tank 441.

[0025] In this application, during use, the wastewater in the intermediate water tank 10 is transferred to the first heat exchanger 41 via the transfer pump 30 and preheated to a first temperature (e.g., 50~60℃), and then enters the second heat exchanger 42 for heat exchange to a second temperature (e.g., 110~120℃). The wastewater obtained after heat exchange in the second heat exchanger 42 is transferred to the deacidification tower 43 for distillation and deacidification (the bottom temperature of the tower is 160~165℃).

[0026] The deacidification wastewater from the bottom of the tower is first transferred to the second heat exchanger 42 for heat exchange and cooling to about 130°C. Then it is transferred to the deammoniation tower 44, where alkaline solution (such as a 5-10% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution) is added through the alkaline solution storage tank 441 to adjust the alkali, so that the ammonium ions are converted into free ammonia molecules for evaporation. During the ammonia evaporation process, the temperature of the bottom of the deammoniation tower 44 is controlled at 130-135°C. Ammonia and vapor are evaporated from the top of the tower and then enter the ammonia collection device 8. The deammoniation wastewater (at about 130°C) output from the bottom of the deammoniation tower 44 enters the first heat exchanger 41 to preheat the wastewater from the intermediate water tank 10. At the same time, the deammoniation wastewater is cooled to about 100°C. Then the cooled deammoniation wastewater is fed into the cooler 20 for further cooling (to about 30°C; multiple coolers 20 can be connected in series to improve the heat exchange effect).

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the extraction apparatus 5 includes an extraction tower 51 and a solvent storage tank 52 connected to the extraction tower 51; Extraction tower 51 is also connected to biochemical treatment unit 6 and phenol recovery unit 53 respectively; The phenol recovery unit 53 is also connected to the solvent storage tank 52.

[0028] In this application, the wastewater cooled by the cooler 20 is transferred to the extraction tower 51 and mixed with the solvent (such as ethyl acetate) in the solvent storage tank 52 to extract the organic phenols. The extracted phenol solution enters the phenol recovery device 53 for processing. After processing by the phenol recovery device 53, the solvent and phenol are separated, and the separated solvent is transferred to the solvent storage tank 52 for recycling.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the acid gas collection device 7 includes a condenser 71, an absorption tower 72 and an acid storage tank 73 connected in series. Condenser 71 is also connected to acid storage tank 73; The ammonia collection device 8 includes a multi-stage ammonia condenser 81, an ammonia scrubbing tower 82, an ammonia crystallization tower 83, an adsorption tank 84, an ammonia compressor 85, and an ammonia storage tank 86.

[0030] In this application, during use, the distilled acid gas (vapor mixed with sulfur dioxide) enters the acid gas collection device 7, is cooled and condensed by the condenser 71, and then enters the absorption tower 72 for absorption by clean water. The absorbed acid liquid and the acidic condensate obtained in the condenser 71 are fed together into the acid storage tank 73 for storage.

[0031] In the ammonia collection device 8, the ammonia gas obtained after being condensed by the ammonia condenser 81 is then fed into the ammonia scrubbing tower 82 to remove impurities such as hydrogen sulfide and phenol. It is then further purified by the ammonia crystallization tower 83 and the adsorption tank 84 to obtain clean ammonia gas. The clean ammonia gas is then compressed by the ammonia compressor 85 and fed into the ammonia storage tank 86 for storage.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, the phenol recovery device 53 includes a phenol distillation column 531, a phenol cooler 532, and a crude phenol storage tank 533; The phenol distillation column 531 is also connected to the solvent storage tank 52.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the biochemical treatment device 6 includes a wastewater equalization tank 61, an air flotation tank 62, a hydrolysis acidification tank 63, an IMC tank 64, an A / O tank 65, a secondary sedimentation tank 66, an ozone oxidation tank 67, a sand filter 68, and a clear water tank 69 connected in series.

[0034] A semi-coke wastewater treatment device, the working process of which is as follows: In operation, the semi-coke wastewater stored in the raw water tank 1 is transferred to the oil separator 2. A demulsifier (such as a surfactant) is added through the demulsifier metering pump 21 and stirred to break up the emulsified oil droplets in the wastewater. After settling, the oil and water are separated. The separated oil (floating on the surface of the liquid) is collected in the oil collection tank 22, while the water at the bottom is discharged into the flocculation tank 3 through the outlet at the bottom of the oil separator 2. A flocculant (such as an aqueous solution of polyacrylamide) is added through the flocculant metering pump 31 to flocculate, adsorbing and settling fine dust and other solid particles in the wastewater. Since the wastewater still contains a small amount of oil droplets, the supernatant of the flocculated wastewater is transferred to the coalescer 32 to further separate the oil droplets from the wastewater. The separated oil is then transferred to the oil collection tank 22 for recovery.

[0035] The separated wastewater is transferred to the intermediate water tank 10, and then transferred to the first heat exchanger 41 via the transfer pump 30 to be preheated to the first temperature (e.g., 50~60℃). It then enters the second heat exchanger 42 to be heated to the second temperature (e.g., 110~120℃). The wastewater obtained after heat exchange in the second heat exchanger 42 is transferred to the deacidification tower 43 for distillation and deacidification (the tower bottom temperature is 160~165℃). The distilled acid gas (vapor mixed with sulfur dioxide) enters the acid gas collection device 7, and after being cooled and condensed by the condenser 71, it enters the absorption tower 72 for absorption with clean water. The acid liquid obtained from absorption and the acidic condensate obtained from condensation in the condenser 71 are fed into the acid storage tank 73 for storage.

[0036] The deacidification wastewater from the bottom of the tower is first transferred to the second heat exchanger 42 for heat exchange and cooling to about 130°C, and then transferred to the deammoniation tower 44. Then, alkaline solution (such as a 5-10% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution) is transferred into the alkaline storage tank 441 to adjust the alkali, so that the ammonium ions are converted into free ammonia molecules for evaporation. During the ammonia evaporation process, the temperature of the bottom of the deammoniation tower 44 is controlled at 130-135°C. Ammonia and vapor are distilled from the top of the tower and enter the ammonia collection device 8. After being condensed by the ammonia condenser 81, the ammonia gas is then fed into the ammonia scrubbing tower 82 to remove impurities such as hydrogen sulfide and phenol. Then, it is further purified by the ammonia crystallization tower 83 and the adsorption tank 84 to obtain clean ammonia gas. The clean ammonia gas is then compressed by the ammonia compressor 85 and fed into the ammonia storage tank 86 for storage. The deammoniation wastewater (around 130°C) output from the bottom of deammoniation tower 44 enters the first heat exchanger 41 to preheat the wastewater from the intermediate water tank 10. Simultaneously, the deammoniation wastewater is cooled to around 100°C. The cooled wastewater is then fed into cooler 20 for further cooling (around 30°C; multiple coolers 20 can be connected in series to improve heat exchange efficiency). The cooled wastewater is then transferred to extraction tower 51, where it is mixed with solvent (e.g., ethyl acetate) in solvent storage tank 52 to extract the organic phenols. The extracted phenol solution enters the phenol recovery unit 53 for further processing. This phenol solution first enters the phenol distillation tower 531 for distillation to recover the solvent, which is then returned to solvent storage tank 52. The crude phenol obtained after distillation is cooled by phenol cooler 532 and then transferred to crude phenol storage tank 533 for storage.

[0037] The wastewater extracted in extraction tower 51 is transferred to biochemical treatment device 6 for biochemical treatment. During treatment, the wastewater is transferred to wastewater equalization tank 61 to be mixed and conditioned with biochemically treatable wastewater from other parts of the factory. The conditioned wastewater is then fed into flotation tank 62 for flotation treatment to remove impurities. The flotation wastewater is then transferred to hydrolysis acidification tank 63 for acidification treatment. The treated wastewater is then transferred to IMC tank 64 and A / O tank 65 for biochemical treatment. The treated wastewater enters secondary sedimentation tank 66 to settle particulate matter generated during biochemical treatment. The supernatant is transferred to ozone oxidation tank 67 for ozone oxidation treatment and sterilization. The treated wastewater is then transferred to sand filter 68 for filtration and then transferred to clear water tank 69 for temporary storage and reuse.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
