Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and relates to the treatment of organic wastewater containing heavy metal ions, and particularly to a treatment device for organic wastewater containing complexed nickel and phosphorus. Background Technology
[0002] During the lithium battery recycling process, wastewater containing heavy metal ions is generated. Due to the use of various chemical reagents, such as complexing agents and chelating agents, the heavy metal ions in the wastewater are complexed and chelated to form stable complexed compounds that cannot be removed by simple chemical precipitation or physical adsorption methods.
[0003] Existing treatment methods for this type of industrial wastewater include catalytic oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, and resin exchange. However, since single oxidation treatment technologies (such as Fenton and ozone) have limitations, the actual treatment process tends to enhance the effects of complex breaking, heavy metal removal, and impurity removal through synergistic technology to improve the applicability of the synergistic process and the high efficiency of target pollutant removal.
[0004] In the lithium battery recycling process, a type of organic wastewater containing complexed nickel and phosphorus is often generated. The nickel in this wastewater often forms complexed nickel with organic complexing agents such as EDTA and citric acid, while the phosphorus often exists in the form of organophosphates, such as phosphate esters used as electrolyte additives or binders, or other phosphorus-containing organic decomposition products. When complexed nickel and organophosphates coexist in the same wastewater, they may compete for oxidants (e.g., ·OH radicals, ozone, etc.), causing the oxidant to preferentially treat one type of pollutant while neglecting the other, resulting in uneven oxidation treatment. Furthermore, the nickel ions released after complex breakdown may encounter phosphate ions released by hydrolysis, potentially forming nickel phosphate precipitates, leading to equipment blockage or unclear effluent. Therefore, the treatment of organic wastewater containing complexed nickel and phosphorus presents certain technical challenges.
[0005] In summary, there is a need to develop a treatment device for organic wastewater containing complexed nickel and phosphorus. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a treatment device for organic wastewater containing complexed nickel and phosphorus. The device comprises a pretreatment module, a primary complex-breaking module, a deep impurity removal module, and a deep oil removal module connected in sequence. After the wastewater containing complexed nickel and phosphorus passes through the pretreatment and primary complex-breaking stages and enters the deep impurity removal module, it first passes through a flocculation sedimentation tank to remove most of the oil and heavy metals, resulting in oil- and heavy metal-containing sludge. Then, it undergoes advanced ozone oxidation in a third reaction tank for further complex-breaking and impurity removal. Finally, the wastewater passes through the deep oil removal module to achieve final purification. This treatment device has advantages such as simple process design, wide applicability, strong treatment effect, and low treatment cost. It enables efficient recycling of wastewater and reduces water waste.

The flocculant storage tank 12 and the precipitant storage tank 13 are used to introduce flocculant and precipitant into the flocculation sedimentation tank 9, respectively. The slurry from the flocculation sedimentation tank 9 enters the first solid-liquid separator 10 for solid-liquid separation. The resulting liquid phase enters the third reaction tank 11.

[0034] The processing device described in this embodiment includes the following components during actual operation: The organic wastewater containing complexed nickel and phosphorus first enters the first reaction tank 1. At the same time, compressed air and collected ozone mixed gas from the compressed air-ozone storage tank 2 are introduced into the bottom of the first reaction tank 1, and dilute acid from the dilute acid storage tank 4 is added to adjust the pH value. The complexes in the wastewater are pre-oxidized by the mixed gas, and some oil is carried to the surface of the wastewater by the bubbles. As the oil flows out through the internal overflow port of the first reaction tank 1, it is collected in the air flotation oil storage tank 3 through the bottom pipe, thus achieving the purpose of pre-oxidation and pre-oil removal simultaneously. The pretreated wastewater is transported through pipelines to the primary complex-breaking module. The pretreated wastewater is first transported through pipelines to the second reaction tank 6, and ferrous sulfate solution from the first complex-breaking agent storage tank 7 and hydrogen peroxide from the second complex-breaking agent storage tank 8 are added simultaneously for feeding and reaction. The hydrogen peroxide feeding pipeline extends below the liquid surface, close to the bottom of the second reaction tank 6, to improve the utilization efficiency of hydrogen peroxide. The wastewater after initial complex breaking is transported through pipelines to the deep impurity removal module. The wastewater after initial complex breaking is first transferred through pipelines to the flocculation sedimentation tank 9. Lime slurry from the precipitant storage tank 13 is added to adjust the pH value, and then PAM from the flocculant storage tank 12 is added. The resulting slurry is separated by a plate and frame filter press. The slag, represented by material C, can be discharged for treatment. The liquid is transferred to the third reaction tank 11. At the same time, ozone from the ozone generator 14 is introduced from the bottom for deep complex breaking and impurity removal. The ozone tail gas generated during the process is collected and stored in the tail gas collection tank 15 for secondary use to improve ozone utilization. After the reaction is completed, lime slurry from the precipitant storage tank 13 is added again to adjust the pH value and further remove nickel. After deep impurity removal, the wastewater is transported through pipelines to the deep oil removal module. The wastewater is first transferred to the activated carbon tank 16, where it undergoes adsorption by the activated carbon to achieve deep oil removal. Meanwhile, the purified wastewater is stored in the recycled water storage tank 17 and can be reused as bottom water in the preparation of the first complex-breaking agent (ferrous sulfate solution), flocculant, and precipitant, thus realizing the recycling of wastewater.
[0035] In this embodiment, ozone can be collected by the exhaust gas collection tank and reused for pretreatment, which can save the investment in ozone exhaust gas treatment equipment; the outlet of the compressed air-ozone storage tank is connected to the bottom gas inlet of the first reaction tank.
