Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chlor-alkali industry technology, specifically a device for the resource utilization of salt mud in the chlor-alkali industry. Background Technology

[0002] The chlor-alkali industry is a chemical industrial process that produces caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), chlorine, and hydrogen by electrolyzing saturated brine. The salt mud generated during the chlor-alkali production process is classified as solid waste. The amount of mud produced by the ion-exchange membrane production unit varies depending on the type of salt used, generally ranging from 10 kg to 60 kg per ton of caustic soda produced. The salt mud contains a large amount of salts such as calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and sodium chloride. Salt mud is highly susceptible to soil pollution and impacts the ecological environment. Its disposal requires proper three-proof treatment, which increases the production costs of enterprises.

[0003] Patent application number 201510478757.6 discloses a system and method for treating salt mud, a byproduct of chlor-alkali production. This system first treats the chlor-alkali calcium carbonate salt mud with hydrochloric acid to remove carbonate ions. The generated carbon dioxide is then transported to an absorption tower to react with caustic soda to produce soda ash for brine purification. The solution can be further purified by adding caustic soda to adjust the pH, precipitating acid-insoluble substances and magnesium ions. After pressure filtration, a clear calcium chloride solution is obtained, which can be used as a refrigerant in membrane denitrification refrigeration units and sold externally. The waste residue and acid-insoluble residue obtained after pressure filtration are sent to cement plants, and magnesium hydroxide is calcined at high temperature to obtain magnesium oxide, achieving zero emissions of pollutants.

[0004] The patent application with application number 201510478757.6 only recovers calcium ions from calcium carbonate, but does not recover magnesium ions from magnesium hydroxide or sodium chloride, resulting in incomplete recycling. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a resource utilization device for salt mud in the chlor-alkali industry, so as to solve the problem that the existing chlor-alkali industry salt mud treatment system only recovers calcium ions from calcium carbonate, and does not recover magnesium ions from magnesium hydroxide or sodium chloride, resulting in incomplete recovery.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a device for the resource utilization of salt mud in the chlor-alkali industry, comprising: The washing pool is used to wash the salt mud, so that the sodium chloride in the salt mud melts. The first filter press is used to separate the solution containing sodium chloride from the dry salt mud. The calcium chloride production unit includes a reaction tank for reacting limestone and hydrochloric acid, and a neutralization tank for adding alkali to neutralize the limestone; the reaction tank is used to receive the separated dry salt mud.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes the raw salt dissolving tank of the chlor-alkali industrial production equipment; the raw salt dissolving tank receives the separated solution containing sodium chloride.

[0008] Furthermore, a mixer is installed in the washing tank, which is connected to the material inlet of the first filter press via a pipe, and the filtrate outlet of the first filter press is connected to the raw salt dissolving tank via a pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the calcium chloride production unit also includes a second filter press, which is connected to a neutralization tank via a pipeline; the neutralization tank is connected to a reaction tank via a pipeline.

[0010] Furthermore, a first filter press is set on a filter press platform, and a conical sludge collection hopper for recovering dry salt mud is provided below the first filter press. The outlet of the sludge collection hopper faces the inlet of the auger, and the outlet of the auger faces the reaction tank.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device not only recovers calcium ions from calcium carbonate, but also recovers and utilizes sodium chloride and magnesium hydroxide, thus achieving more thorough recovery.

[0012] This invention recovers calcium ions from calcium carbonate for use in a calcium chloride production system to produce calcium chloride; recovers sodium chloride for use in the raw salt dissolving tank of chlor-alkali industrial production equipment, thus recycling solid waste generated in the chlor-alkali industry within the original system; and recovers magnesium hydroxide for use in the calcium chloride production system to co-precipitate with iron impurities in the calcium chloride production system, thereby removing iron impurities.

[0015] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] Example 1 like Figure 1As shown, a device for the resource utilization of salt mud in the chlor-alkali industry includes: Washing tank 1 is used to wash the salt mud, so that the sodium chloride in the salt mud melts; First filter press 2 is used to separate the solution containing sodium chloride from the dry salt mud; first filter press 2 is a chamber filter press; The calcium chloride production unit 4 includes a reaction tank 401 for reacting limestone and hydrochloric acid, and a neutralization tank 402 for neutralizing with alkali; the reaction tank 401 is used to receive the separated dry salt mud.

[0017] The washing tank 1 is equipped with a mixer 101, which is a top-entry paddle mixer; the washing tank 1 is connected to the material inlet of the first filter press 2 through a pipeline, and a conveying pump is installed on the pipeline.

[0018] Example 2 like Figure 1 As shown, a chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device differs from the chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device in Example 1 only in that: It also includes a raw salt dissolving tank 3 for chlor-alkali industrial production equipment; the raw salt dissolving tank 3 receives the separated solution containing sodium chloride; the filtrate outlet of the first filter press 2 is connected to the raw salt dissolving tank 3 via a pipeline.

[0019] Example 3 like Figure 1 As shown, the chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device differs from the chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device in Example 2 only in that: The calcium chloride production unit 4 also includes a second filter press 403, which is a diaphragm filter press. The second filter press 403 is connected to a neutralization tank 402 via a pipeline. The neutralization tank 402 is connected to a reaction tank 401 via a pipeline.

[0020] Example 4 like Figure 1 As shown, the chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device differs from the chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device in Example 3 only in that: The first filter press 2 is set on the filter press platform. Below the first filter press 2 is a conical mud collection hopper 6 for recovering dry salt mud. The bottom outlet of the mud collection hopper 6 faces the inlet of the screw conveyor 5, and the outlet of the screw conveyor 5 faces the reaction tank 401.

[0021] Example 5 A method for the resource utilization of chlor-alkali industrial salt mud, using the chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device in Example 1, includes the following steps: S1. The salt mud mainly contains CaCO3, Mg(OH)2, and NaCl, and also contains a small amount of insoluble substances such as mud, sand, and silicates. Add the salt mud to washing tank 1 and pass demineralized water into washing tank 1. Stir thoroughly to wash the salt mud and dissolve the sodium chloride in the salt mud into the demineralized water. S2. The mixture of salt mud and demineralized water in washing tank 1 is fed into the first filter press 2 to separate the solution containing sodium chloride from the dry salt mud. S3. The dry salt mud is fed into the reaction tank 401 of the calcium chloride production unit 4, which is used for the reaction of limestone and hydrochloric acid. S4. Limestone and hydrochloric acid are present in reaction tank 401. The main component of limestone is calcium carbonate, and limestone contains iron impurities. Calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride solution. The reaction equation is: CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2↑. Calcium carbonate in the dry salt mud reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride solution, and magnesium hydroxide in the salt mud reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride. S5. Pass the mixture in reaction tank 401 into neutralization tank 402, add calcium hydroxide, adjust the pH of neutralization tank 402 to 9-9.5, magnesium ions in the solution will form magnesium hydroxide and begin to precipitate; iron impurities in the solution will form Fe(OH)3, and magnesium hydroxide will co-precipitate with iron impurities during precipitation. S6. Separate the precipitates of magnesium hydroxide and Fe(OH)3.

[0022] The principle behind the co-precipitation of magnesium hydroxide with iron impurities is: The newly formed magnesium hydroxide precipitate is an amorphous, loose, gel-like precipitate with a very large specific surface area and extremely high surface energy; this high surface energy strongly adsorbs other ions or molecules in the solution to lower its own energy. Iron ions (Fe2+) in the solution... 3+ ) or its preliminary hydrolysis products (such as Fe(OH) 2+ The iron will be effectively adsorbed on the surface of the magnesium hydroxide precipitate particles; as the magnesium hydroxide precipitate particles grow and settle, they act like countless "small brooms" to "sweep" iron impurities in the solution during the settling process and wrap them inside the precipitate. This process is also called "sweeping coprecipitation".

[0023] Example 6 Example 6 also provides a method for the resource utilization of salt mud from the chlor-alkali industry, which differs from the method in Example 5 only in that: In step S6, the mixture in the neutralization tank 402 is passed into the second filter press 403 to separate magnesium hydroxide and Fe(OH)3 precipitates and other insoluble substances; the filtrate obtained by pressure filtration is used as a calcium chloride liquid product, or the calcium chloride filtrate is concentrated and dried to produce calcium chloride solid.

[0024] Example 7 Example 7 also provides a method for the resource utilization of salt mud from the chlor-alkali industry, which differs from the method in Example 6 only in that: In step S3, a solution containing sodium chloride is introduced into the raw salt dissolving tank 3 of the chlor-alkali industrial production equipment.

[0025] The chlor-alkali industrial salt mud resource utilization device in the above embodiment not only recovers calcium ions from calcium carbonate, but also recovers and utilizes sodium chloride and magnesium hydroxide, thus achieving more thorough recovery.

[0026] The above embodiments recover calcium ions from calcium carbonate for use in the calcium chloride production system to produce calcium chloride; recover sodium chloride for use in the raw salt dissolving tank of the chlor-alkali industry production equipment, thus applying the solid waste generated by the chlor-alkali industry to the original system for recycling; and recover magnesium hydroxide for use in the calcium chloride production system to co-precipitate with iron impurities in the calcium chloride production system, thereby removing the iron impurities.
