Description

Catalytic oxidation treatment method for neutralizing wastewater by 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride
Technical Field
The invention relates to a catalytic oxidation treatment method of 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride neutralized wastewater, belonging to the technical field of chemical treatment and chemical industry.
Background
3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine, DCB for short, is an important intermediate for producing organic pigments of the dichlorobenzidine series, and the yield of series of organic pigments mainly manufactured by the intermediate accounts for about 25 percent of the total amount of the organic pigments, so the intermediate is widely applied to the production of coloring slurry and pigment dyeing slurry of coloring and pigment printing slurry such as printing ink, paint, rubber, plastic and the like. The commercial product is generally in the form of a hydrochloride salt having the formula:
Figure 59200DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
the production of 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride is carried out by taking o-nitrochlorobenzene as basic raw material, reducing in alkaline medium to generate 2,2Dichlorohydrazobenzene (DHB), then 2,2-dichlorohydrazobenzene is transposed in an acidic medium to give 3,3-dichlorobenzidine. In the reduction process, the catalytic hydrogenation method has the advantages of high product yield, good quality, less three wastes and the like, and is the mainstream of industrial production at present. The transposition process has two functions of sulfuric acid transposition and hydrochloric acid transposition, wherein the sulfuric acid transposition has the advantages of quick reaction, standing for layering and easy further purification, but the process is complex and the yield is low because the sulfate solubility of the 3,3 '-dichlorobenzidine is high and the 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine is required to be converted into hydrochloride after rearrangement; the transposition process of hydrochloric acid is simple, easy to operate and high in yield, and has the defects of material viscosity, large mass transfer resistance and slow reaction, but the problem of material viscosity can be improved by adding an auxiliary agent, so that the continuous reaction is ensured to be carried out without interruption. The two transposition processes have application in industrial production.
The process for producing 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride by adopting a catalytic hydrogenation method and a hydrochloric acid transposition process comprises the steps of hydrogenation, separation, transposition, dissolution and decoloration, salting out, filtration, neutralization, secondary filtration product recovery and the like. The waste water produced in the production process comprises waste alkali liquid separated after hydrogenation and neutralization waste water produced after neutralization, wherein the pH value of the waste alkali liquid is about 14, the pH value of the neutralization waste water is about 2, and the COD values of the waste alkali liquid and the neutralization waste water are about 15000 ppm. The neutralization wastewater contains macromolecular organic matters with the mass fraction of 1-2%, and the macromolecular organic matters mainly comprise 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine, reduction by-products o-chloroaniline and the like, so that direct biochemical treatment cannot be carried out. The wastewater is one of industrial organic wastewater which is extremely difficult to treat.
At present, several treatment methods for 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride wastewater produced by sulfuric acid transposition are reported in China. The process method for comprehensively utilizing the waste sulfuric acid of patent CN 1629131A, 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride utilizes 2,2The sulfate generated after the transposition of the dichlorohydrazobenzene has the characteristic of small solubility in the mother liquor, is directly filtered, and then the waste acid is continuously used, so that the discharge amount of the waste acid is reduced by 80 percent. However, the organic substances produced by the waste acid can be gradually accumulated, thereby affecting the product quality. In patent CN 1752032A, in the process of treating and recycling mixed acid generated by industrial wastewater 3, 3-dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride, magnesium-containing ore is adopted to react with sulfuric acid, so that magnesium sulfate is extracted while the acidity of the wastewater is reduced, but the method cannot effectively reduce the content of organic matters in the wastewater; patent CN 101372381A, a 3, 3' -dichlorobenzidine hydrochloride wastewater resource treatment method and a device thereof, which treat wastewater through steps of evaporation, rectification, decoloration, filtration, cooling, crystallization, separation and the like, can recover hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid therein, and obtain an o-chloroaniline sulfate byproduct. However, the method has complex process, and units such as evaporation, rectification and the like have large energy consumption, so the method has high difficulty in industrial application in the aspect of economy.
