Technical Field

[0002] The treatment of high-concentration brine in chemical industries has always been a technical challenge. Traditional treatment methods are not only energy-intensive and inefficient, but also have low resource recovery rates, placing a heavy burden on enterprise operations and causing significant environmental impacts. Existing treatment systems often struggle to completely remove hardness ions and organic matter at the front end, increasing the difficulty of subsequent steps. Concentration and separation units frequently experience operational instability due to clogging and wear, while the treatment processes for sodium chloride and sodium sulfate solutions are complex, cumbersome, and inefficient. More importantly, once a system malfunctions, there is often a lack of rapid and effective countermeasures, leading to production interruptions, increased equipment maintenance costs, and shortened equipment lifespan. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of high-concentration brine treatment system that can efficiently remove impurities, achieve efficient resource recovery and utilization, possess strong fault response capabilities, ensure continuous and stable system operation, reduce enterprise operating costs, improve resource utilization, and meet the urgent needs of environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0031] The concentration and separation device in this embodiment also includes a first pipe 45, which is used to transport the product of the secondary nanofiltration 34 to the primary nanofiltration product tank 16.

The fifth pipe 50 is connected to the third-stage evaporator 36, the sixth pipe 51 is connected to the fourth-stage evaporator 37, and the seventh pipe 52 is connected to the aging mother liquor collection tank 28.

[0034] The mother liquor treatment device in this embodiment includes an eighth pipe 49, which is connected to the aging mother liquor collection tank 28.

[0035] RO (reverse osmosis) membranes can filter out ions from water, resulting in virtually no ions in the product water or a significantly reduced ion content (ion filtration efficiency depends on the ion concentration at the inlet water). The clear water is pure water. However, RO membranes are expensive and have small pores that are prone to clogging. In this embodiment, particulate matter and suspended solids in high-concentration brine are first removed by sedimentation tank lining and sand filtration. Then, ultrafiltration (filtration pore size 1–100 nm) is used to remove fine particulate matter. The concentrated brine after ultrafiltration is ready for ion filtration using an RO membrane.

[0036] After ultrafiltration, the concentrated brine in this embodiment still contains a large amount of divalent hardness ions such as magnesium and calcium ions. After removing these hardness ions using the weak acid sodium bed 4, the concentrated brine contains sodium, chloride, and sulfate ions. At this point, the concentrated brine is passed into the secondary reverse osmosis stage 7 of this embodiment. The secondary reverse osmosis stage 7 can use a seawater desalination RO membrane with a larger membrane thickness and higher filtration pressure. In the secondary reverse osmosis stage 7, after reverse osmosis, a large number of water molecules in the concentrated brine are filtered out at the product water end, resulting in a significant increase in the ion concentration at the concentrate end. Since the concentrated water end of the two-stage reverse osmosis 7 is used, the concentrated brine also contains alkaline substances and COD (biological oxygen demand, which is commonly used in water treatment to represent the microorganisms in water). In this embodiment, these substances are removed separately by the decarbonation tower 9 and the activated carbon tower 11, and then residual divalent ions such as calcium ions and magnesium ions are removed by the weak acid chelate bed 13. At this time, the concentrated brine basically only contains high concentrations of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate.

[0037] In this embodiment, concentrated brine containing only sodium chloride and sodium sulfate is treated by first-stage nanofiltration 15. Since the nanofiltration membrane allows sodium ions and water molecules to pass through but does not allow sulfur ions to pass through, it can separate the concentrated brine into sodium chloride solution and sodium sulfate solution. The sodium sulfate solution is produced from the concentrated water side of the first-stage nanofiltration 15 unit, and the sodium chloride solution is produced from the purified water side. The concentration of the sodium sulfate solution is greater than that of the sodium chloride solution.

[0038] In this embodiment, a three-stage reverse osmosis unit 17 is set up to concentrate the sodium chloride solution produced by the first-stage nanofiltration unit 15. Based on pressure control, the concentrated sodium chloride solution is close to the crystallization concentration.

[0039] This embodiment also includes a secondary nanofiltration unit 34, which further purifies and concentrates the sodium sulfate solution produced by the primary nanofiltration unit 15. The filtered sodium chloride solution is then connected to the inlet of the tertiary reverse osmosis (RO) stage 17. The RO stage 17 mixes this portion of the sodium chloride solution with the sodium chloride solution from the primary nanofiltration unit 15 for unified concentration. This embodiment incorporates a secondary nanofiltration unit 34, which further separates the two solutions while reducing the load on the single-stage nanofiltration.

[0040] In this embodiment, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate are separated and then fed into different evaporators for further evaporation and crystallization. The evaporators use hot gas as a heat source and are all two-stage. The crystallized solid-liquid mixture is then fed into a centrifuge for solid-liquid separation. The separated moist solid crystals are fed into a vibrating fluidized bed, which dries the crystals with minimal consumption. The purified and dried sodium chloride and sodium sulfate particles are then collected, thus completing the treatment of the high-concentration brine. This embodiment also utilizes a mother liquor treatment device to filter the centrifuged liquid (mother liquor) to obtain mixed salt. To improve the production efficiency of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, reduce operating costs, increase recovery rate, and shorten the residence time of concentrated solutions and mother liquor, this embodiment flexibly adjusts the flow of the centrifuged liquid based on its concentration gradient, deciding whether to direct it to the primary or secondary treatment inlet of the evaporator, or directly to the filter press. When the concentration is too low, it is fed to the primary treatment inlet; when the concentration is at a medium level, it is fed to the secondary treatment inlet; and when the concentration is higher than a predetermined value, it is directly fed to the filter press to extract the mixed salt. Furthermore, the centrifuged liquid in this embodiment can be split according to the concentration range, further improving flexibility. This embodiment employs a flexible treatment method for the centrifuged liquid, which can increase the yield of pure sodium chloride and sodium sulfate while ensuring operating costs, reducing corrosion of storage containers caused by the retention of concentrated solutions or mother liquor, and thus lowering overall maintenance costs.

[0041] This embodiment adopts the above technical solution, which basically achieves zero discharge of concentrated brine wastewater and efficiently recovers sodium chloride and sodium sulfate from the concentrated brine.

[0042] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
