Description

A method for treating smelting acid wastewater by activating sulfur concentrate Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of smelting wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a method for treating smelting acid wastewater by activating sulfur concentrate. Background Art

[0002] Acid-making workshops for smelting flue gas from copper, lead, zinc and other smelters will produce a large amount of polluted acid wastewater, which has the characteristics of high acidity, high concentration of heavy metals and fluorine, complex composition, large volatility and high toxicity. Therefore, polluted acid is the most difficult to treat among all smelting wastewaters. At present, the main methods for treating polluted acid include lime neutralization method, high concentration mud method, sulfidation method, lime + iron salt (aluminum salt) method, electrochemical method, biological agent method, membrane method and a combination of several of these methods. The "Lead and Zinc Industrial Pollutant Emission Standard GB 25466-2010" and its amendments stipulate that the total thallium emission concentration limit of wastewater from lead and zinc smelting workshops or production facilities is 0.017 mg / L, and COD Cr The direct emission concentration limit is 60mg / L; the "Copper, Nickel and Cobalt Industrial Pollutant Emission Standard GB 25467-2010" stipulates that the COD Cr The direct emission concentration limit is 60mg / L.

[0003] Except for the reverse osmosis membrane, other methods are usually difficult to separate total thallium and COD Cr However, these methods usually have the disadvantages of high treatment costs, poor effects, large amounts of treatment slag and difficulty in recycling, so there is an urgent need to find an economical and efficient treatment method.

[0004] Sulfur concentrate is a by-product of mineral processing of non-ferrous metal ores and can be used as a raw material for sulfuric acid manufacturing enterprises. In 2020, the national output of sulfur concentrate was 13.25 million tons, about 450 yuan / ton. At present, the research on the use of sulfur concentrate to treat wastewater mainly focuses on the use of sulfur concentrate and strong oxidants to remove organic matter, or to prepare flocculants and adsorbents to remove one or two of the elements such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead in the wastewater. However, the research on the use of sulfur concentrate to treat multiple pollutants in dirty acid wastewater has not been reported. Based on this, a method for activating sulfur concentrate is proposed, and the activated sulfur concentrate is used to treat smelting dirty acid wastewater. Most of the metals in the wastewater are removed by precipitation of metal sulfides, and thallium is removed by deep precipitation of TlS and Tl(OH)3, and COD Cr The sulfur concentrate is removed by advanced oxidation reaction through activation of sulfur concentrate, and the treated acid wastewater meets the national emission standards. It can be seen that this method has very important promotion and application value. Technical Solutions

[0007] A. Pretreatment of sulfur concentrate: drying and grinding the sulfur concentrate. The obtained sulfur concentrate powder is washed twice with pure water and anhydrous ethanol respectively before use. The composition of the sulfur concentrate includes: Fe 42.56-48.95%, S 43.28-49.26%, SiO2 ≤ 3.0%, Zn ≤ 1.12%, and Pb ≤ 0.44%.

[0009] C. Treatment of contaminated acid wastewater: add lime milk to the contaminated acid wastewater to adjust the pH value of the wastewater to 2.0-4.0; then add activated sulfur concentrate powder to the contaminated acid wastewater at a rate of 12.0-20.0 g of activated sulfur concentrate powder per 1.0 L of wastewater, supplemented by ultrasonic treatment at a frequency of 25-28 kHz. During this period, the wastewater temperature is maintained at 28-32°C, and the reaction is continuously stirred at a speed of 140-180 r / min for 5-6 hours, and the dissolved oxygen content of the wastewater is maintained at 10.0-15.0 mg / L; then, allow to settle for 30-60 minutes, add lime milk to the supernatant initially obtained after the precipitation, adjust the pH value to 8.0-9.0, continue to allow to settle for 30-60 minutes, and centrifuge the supernatant again to obtain the final treated water.

[0010] Technical principle of the present invention:

[0011] During the oxidation process of sulfur concentrate, dissolved oxygen is adsorbed on the surface of sulfur concentrate and generates H2O2 through a two-electron reduction mechanism, which is then desorbed from the mineral surface into the solution through the Fenton reaction to generate •OH; Fe 2+ Oxidized by O2 to Fe 3+ O2 will be produced at the same time •- , O2 •- Fe 2+Oxidized to Fe 3+ When adding Na2S to activate the sulfur concentrate, more S 2- , polysulfides, etc. The formation of polysulfides will promote the decomposition of H2O2 into •OH, which greatly increases the reaction rate. •OH and O2 in the solution •- Is to remove organic pollutants (ie COD Cr )'s main active ingredient.

[0012] Thallium in acid wastewater + and Tl 3+ There are Tl + Stable existence. Tl in acid wastewater + 、As 3+ 、Hg 2+ 、Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Cu 2+ Most of the generated metal sulfides are precipitated and removed. + In H2O2, •OH and O2 •- Under the combined action of strong oxidation, it is rapidly oxidized into Tl 3+ , with Cd 2+ , Pb 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Cu 2+ 、Fe 3+ Wait together with OH - The metal hydroxide precipitate formed by the reaction is further removed. - It reacts with lime milk to generate CaF2 for precipitation and removal. During the reaction, activated sulfur concentrate produces trivalent iron oxide and hydroxide particles, which produce a coagulation and co-precipitation effect in the process of heavy metal removal, further improving the efficiency of pollutant removal.
