Softening treatment method of high-salinity wastewater
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a softening treatment method of high-salinity wastewater.
Background
In recent years, modern coal chemical industry such as coal gas, coal olefin, coal oil and the like in China is rapidly developed, and a plurality of large-scale coal chemical engineering projects are built in northwest and north China areas with rich coal resources. However, because of the lack of water resources in the regions, the nation requires that the coal chemical engineering project forcefully promotes the recycling of the water, and the near zero emission of the wastewater is realized. The high cost of wastewater treatment becomes one of the important factors restricting the development of coal chemical engineering projects.
The first step of the treatment process of near zero emission of the high-salinity wastewater in the coal chemical industry is generally to add chemicals to soften and remove hardness so as to prevent scaling and blockage of the subsequent process. Commonly used softening agents are sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, and the like. According to the operation experience of part of established projects, because the adding amount is large, the cost of the softening agent is high and accounts for about 20 percent of the treatment cost of the whole high-salinity wastewater near zero emission, and the low-cost softening is an important means for reducing the treatment cost of the wastewater.
Patent CN106186433A discloses a method for load flocculation and hardness removal of saline wastewater, which comprises the following steps: selecting the gray calcareous soil for developing the quaternary loess matrix to construct a heavy medium carrier; adding heavy media carriers into the salt-containing wastewater, and uniformly stirring; then adding a softening agent into the salt-containing wastewater, and continuously stirring; adding coagulant aid into the salt-containing wastewater, and uniformly stirring; and sending the salt-containing wastewater into a clarification tank for sedimentation. According to the invention, the limestone soil type developed by the quaternary loess mother material is selected to construct the heavy medium carrier, and meanwhile, a plurality of reagents such as a softening agent, a coagulant aid and the like are added, so that the softening cost is still high.
Patent CN104973717A discloses a method for advanced treatment of salt-containing wastewater, wherein a magnesium agent or iron salt is selected for desiliconization of wastewater, and the conditions of the magnesium agent desiliconization are as follows: the pH value of the magnesium agent desiliconization is 10.1-10.3, and alkali is added into a treatment system to ensure the pH value; adding a coagulant when the magnesium agent or the iron salt is desilicated, wherein the dosage of the coagulant is as follows: when the magnesium agent is used for desiliconization, the used coagulant is iron salt, and the addition amount of the iron salt is 0.2-0.35 mmol/L; water temperature: heating to 25-40 deg.C by a heater including a heat exchanger; then enters a high-density sedimentation tank, namely a clarifier, for clarification. In the method, due to the introduction of the magnesium agent or the iron salt, the usage amount of the softener and the coagulant which need to be added is increased, and the softening cost is still higher.

Ferrous salt is added in the step (2), hexavalent chromium can be reduced into trivalent chromium, and insoluble substances are formed through hydrolysis; on the other hand, insoluble substances can be promoted to form flocs and generate insoluble precipitates to be removed. And simultaneously, the excessive added iron can be further removed by utilizing the high pH value condition of the softened effluent of the high-salinity wastewater.
In the invention, the flocculant in the step (2) is PAM, and the adding amount is generally 0.1-2mg/L, preferably 0.5-1 mg/L.

After the treatment, the removal rate of the total chromium is more than 85 percent, the removal rate of suspended matters is more than 92 percent, and the supernatant is colorless and transparent and can be directly used for the subsequent softening treatment of the high-salinity wastewater.
In the invention, the supernatant obtained in the step (2), alkali, coagulant and flocculant are added into high-salt wastewater for softening treatment, wherein the alkali is at least one of sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and the like, and the pH of the wastewater is adjusted to 10-11.5; the coagulant is inorganic coagulant, such as at least one of aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride, ferrous sulfate, aluminum potassium sulfate, sodium aluminate, ferric sulfate, polyaluminium chloride (PAC), etc., and the addition amount is 20-100 mg/L; the flocculant is organic polymer flocculant, such as Polyacrylamide (PAM), and the addition amount is 0.5-5 mg/L.

Comparative example 1
The difference from example 1 is that: the 10 percent waste sodium carbonate solution is directly used for softening treatment of high-salinity wastewater (i.e. flocculation, sedimentation and separation are omitted). Two main problems are found in the experimental process: (1) insoluble substances in the waste sodium carbonate solution block equipment and pipelines of a sodium carbonate feeding system. (2) The quality of the recycled water and the crystallized salt generated by a subsequent near zero emission system can be influenced when Cr in the waste sodium carbonate solution enters high-salinity water, and particularly the identification of the quality of the crystallized salt can be influenced.
Comparative example 2
The difference from example 1 is that: the waste sodium carbonate is pretreated by fresh water to obtain a 10% waste sodium carbonate solution. Compared with the softened effluent, the obtained supernatant has higher Fe concentration, and has certain influence on the quality of the water fed into a sodium carbonate feeding system and a subsequent process.
Comparative example 3
The difference from example 1 is that: only ferrous salt is added into the 10 percent waste sodium carbonate solution. Can remove chromium in the waste alkali and can coagulate and precipitate most insoluble substances. However, in the experimental process, insoluble substances are found to be small in floc, the sedimentation rate is slow, and part of the insoluble substances float to the surface of the solution to form scum, so that the solid-liquid separation time is long, and a slag scraping device is possibly required to be additionally configured.
Comparative example 4
The difference from example 1 is that: the wastewater is softened without adding the supernatant after treatment. In the experimental process, the calcium ion removal effect is found to be poor due to the insufficient alkalinity of the wastewater.
Comparative example 5
The difference from example 1 is that: the softening treatment of the high-salinity wastewater does not add alkali to adjust the pH value. The effect of removing magnesium ions is found to be poor in the experimental process.
