2, film concentrate softens: waste water is after reverse osmosis deaslination, and salt quality concentration reaches 3~6% in concentrated water, and hardness enrichment rises It is high.
3,5mg/L is less than using resin tenderizer control hardness, to meet the water inlet requirement of electrodialytic membranes.
4, film minimizing softens: 90% or more wastewater flow rate reduction or salt quality concentration reach 12~20% after film minimizing, adopt Sofening treatment is carried out to minimizing waste water with membrane reactor technique, control hardness is less than 1mg/L, to ensure evaporation and crystal process not Fouling.
For step 1, the mode for removing the calcium ions and magnesium ions in waste water is mainly that the side of precipitating is reacted and passed through by dosing Formula removal, dosing here can choose sodium carbonate+sodium hydroxide, lime+sodium carbonate, lime+flue gas, calcium and magnesium complexing agent It is combined etc. different dosings;Additional amount can determine sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, stone according to the content of the calcium ions and magnesium ions in waste water The dosage of ash, calcium and magnesium complexing agent, can usually determine additional amount by the way of slightly above stoichiometric ratio.For lime+ Flue gas, reaction principle are:
Milk of lime and sodium sulphate reaction generate sodium hydroxide, and the carbon dioxide reaction in sodium hydroxide and flue gas generates carbon Sour sodium, sodium carbonate act on calcium ion generate indissoluble substance calcium carbonate again.Reaction is carried out in two steps:
The first step
MgSO4+Ca(OH)2→Mg(OH)2↓+CaSO4(slightly soluble)
Na2SO4+Ca(OH)2→CaSO4(slightly soluble)+2NaOH
Second step
2NaOH+CO2→Na2CO3+H2O
Na2CO3+ CaSO4→CaCO3↓+ Na2SO4
Precipitating is magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate and a part of calcium sulfate obtained in reaction, and the main component in solution It is sodium chloride and sodium sulphate.
After precipitation reaction using above-mentioned intermittent reaction formula, can get rid of in waste water the overwhelming majority calcium and magnesiums from Son, and the fluctuation of concentration of the calcium ions and magnesium ions in the waste water of source can be effectively reduced, and can be effectively avoided calcium and magnesium from Son during reverse osmosis concentration in the scale problems on reverse osmosis membrane surface so that the concentration process of reverse osmosis membrane is achieved, Can simultaneously be effectively reduce operating load when ion exchange resin removes hard;In addition, due to during precipitation reaction, it is raw At flocculent deposit during can coat organic pollutant in a part of waste water, this can be to avoid falling in membrane reactor The irreversible membrane fouling of organic pollutant that occurs in the process of running of seperation film, make seperation film only by recoil mode just Long-term running stability can be improved.There are many include but is not limited to use mechanical stirring sedimentation basin or highly dense for the mode of precipitating Sedimentation basin is spent, in addition it can assist other modes being separated by solid-liquid separation to remove precipitating, there are many include the mode of separation of solid and liquid But it is not limited to using filter types such as sand filtration, multimedium, filtering cloth filtering pool or film filterings.
In step 2, mainly the waste water after preliminary remove firmly is concentrated using reverse osmosis membrane, salt quality is dense in concentrated water Degree reaches 3~6%, and hardness enrichment increases, and is less than 5mg/L using resin tenderizer control hardness, to meet the water inlet of electrodialytic membranes It is required that can also be to avoid the scale problems in evaporating concentration process.Acetic acid fibre can be used in reverse osmosis membrane in the utility model Tie up the high molecular materials such as plain quasi polymer, polyamide, polyester, polyimides, polyvinyl, the operating pressure of reverse osmosis membrane It can control the range in 1.0MPa~10MPa,
For step 1 and step 2, softening depends on the hardness of water with the sequencing of reverse osmosis process.When next The water hardness is higher than 1200mg/L(with calcium carbonate) using first softening the technique being concentrated afterwards, when carrying out the water hardness 600~1200 Mg/L(is with calcium carbonate) it can be combined according to the actual situation using softening with concentration technology, it is lower than 600 when carrying out the water hardness Mg/L(is with calcium carbonate) after-tack is preferably first concentrated.
For step 3, the calcium ions and magnesium ions in waste water can further be got rid of using the purpose of ion exchange resin, when making 5mg/L is less than using resin tenderizer control hardness, to meet the water inlet requirement of electrodialytic membranes, while can also be to avoid subsequent Evaporating concentration process in fouling occur.Resin softening can be using techniques such as cation bed, weak acid beds.
For step 4, wastewater reduction processing is can be handled with electric dialyzator or evaporation concentration device, electrodialysis Current density be 40A/m2~500A/m2;Evaporation process can be multiple-effect evaporation or MVR evaporation.
For step 4, the precipitation method are carried out using membrane reactor in the utility model and remove calcium ions and magnesium ions, membrane reactor is film The new technology that process and reaction process combine.The step of being provided simultaneously with reaction and separation.With series of advantages: reaction It is combined into single unit process with separation, reduces the expense of the processes such as separation;In this step, it is carried out on one side using reactor Precipitation reaction, while being removed the precipitating of generation in real time using seperation film, then reaction solution is back in reactor.Used here as Seperation film, can be using inoranic membrane or organic membrane filter;Tubular ultra-filtration membrane can be used in organic membrane filter or doughnut is super Filter membrane.Membrane reactor goes out the water hardness and is generally below 1mg/L, can basis need to adjust membrane reactor water outlet hardness.
By the match selection to softening method in technique of zero discharge, reagent consumption amount, targeted hardness can be reduced Removing control, can be improved the reliability of engineering operation.
In addition, containing after biochemical treatment, above-mentioned removing are handled firmly for waste water obtained in pulping and papermaking processes NaCl and Na2SO4Equal inorganic salts, and NaCl and Na in water2SO4Concentration proportion be not able to satisfy respectively crystallization obtain NaCl And Na2SO4Requirement when, the utility model by nanofiltration membrane be used for in high-salt wastewater monovalent salt and divalent salts ratio adjust Section, meets NaCl and Na2SO4The requirement crystallized respectively recycles the mother liquor of crystallization process, reduces mother liquor amount, improves The efficiency that sodium chloride and sulfate crystal process salt utilize.High-purity is finally obtained while realizing brine waste zero emission Monovalent salt and divalent salts realize the resource utilization of water and inorganic salts.The utility model involved in nanofiltration membrane, be defined as The film of " preventing the pressure drive membrane less than the particle of 2nm and the macromolecular of dissolution ", can be used cellulose acetate based polymer, The high molecular materials such as polyamide, sulfonated polysulfone, polyacrylonitrile, polyester, polyimides and polyvinyl.In the utility model Reverse osmosis membrane, the high scores such as cellulose acetate quasi polymer, polyamide, polyester, polyimides, polyvinyl can be used Sub- material.The operating pressure of nanofiltration membrane can control in 0.5~4.0MPa, and the operating pressure of reverse osmosis membrane can control The range of 1.0MPa~10MPa.Film deploys workshop section: including multistage nanofiltration system or ion exchange membranous system, to from film concentrate Workshop section or film minimizing workshop section's waste water carry out the concentration allotment of sodium chloride and sodium sulphate, are divided into rich sodium chloride waste water and rich sodium sulphate Waste water.Workshop section is deployed, concentrated water sodium sulfate concentration is higher than 8%, between preferred concentration 12%~20%.Mainly chlorination processed in salt manufacturing workshop section Sodium crystal system, Sulphuric acid sodium crystal system, the rich sodium chloride waste water from film allotment workshop section enter chlorination processed after concentrate again Sodium system obtains industrial product salt, returns to Sulphuric acid sodium crystal system after mother liquor drop COD;Sulfur-rich acid from film allotment workshop section Sodium waste water enters Sulphuric acid sodium system and obtains sodium sulphate product, returns to sodium chloride crystal system processed after mother liquor drop COD;Na2SO4 Crystal system mother liquor is re-fed into NaCl crystal system after concentration and carries out crystallization treatment, NaCl crystal system mother liquor overrich Na is re-fed into after contracting2SO4Crystal system carries out crystallization treatment.Since the concentration of monovalence and divalent salts in waste water can occur not Disconnected fluctuation, and then influence whether the process of subsequent nanofiltration, crystallization, so that technological parameter needs are constantly adapted to The variation of salinity in water, therefore will lead to that operating process is unstable, purity of crystal salt cannot reach requirement.Meanwhile NaCl and Na2SO4During crystallizing respectively, the NaCl and Na in feed liquid are crystallized2SO4Concentration than differ it is bigger, more be conducive to knot Brilliant process forms the crystal salt of high-purity.Such as: NaCl and Na during being crystallized to NaCl, in crystal solution2SO4 Concentration proportion be C1(NaCl)/C1(Na2SO4), when by Na2SO4Mother liquor (the densimeter for mainly containing NaCl obtained after crystallization For C2And C (NaCl),2(NaCl)> C1(NaCl)) it further adds after concentration to NaCl during being crystallized, i.e., The concentration on the molecule of ratio can be made to increase, improve concentration proportion;It could be aware that according to numerical value calculating, as 10 < C1 (NaCl)/C1(Na2SO4) < 100 when fluctuation, makes molecular concentration increase that the fluctuating range of whole ratio can be made obvious in ranges Reduce, plays the effect for stabilizing fluctuation.Similarly Na2SO4Crystallization process in, the concentration proportion of a divalent salts is C1 (Na2SO4)/C1(NaCl), what is obtained after crystallizing NaCl mainly contains Na2SO4Mother liquor concentrations after, the C that will obtain2 (Na2SO4) concentrate is back to Na2SO4Crystallization process in after, due to C2(Na2SO4)> C1(Na2SO4), similarly play Stabilize the effect of crystallization process fluctuation of concentration.Therefore, by the mother liquor after crystallization using the further concentrate of reverse osmosis membrane it It is returned again to afterwards to the crystal system of upper level, can effectively make NaCl and Na2SO4Concentration ratio fluctuation numerical value reduce, inhibit Instable generation during crystallization.
