Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the high flow treatment and purification of wastewater containing silica. More particularly, the present invention relates to process and apparatus for removing silica from large quantities of wastewater using a combination of filter membranes and organic polymers.
  • CMP chemical mechanical polishing
  • silica is a scale forming material commonly found in cooling water which can foul heat exchangers, pipes, valves, pumps, and boilers. No known inhibitor, chelating agent or dispersant exists which will significantly control silica's tendency to form scale. When the silica concentration in a cooling water system exceeds its solubility limit of roughly about 150 to about 200 milligrams per liter, silica polymerizes to form scale. It may also react with multivalent cations, such as magnesium and calcium, to form scale.
  • Microfiltration systems have been considered to remove silica contaminants from wastewater.
  • traditional microfiltration membranes having a pore size of about 0.5 microns rapidly clog with silica that was precipitated with conventional inorganic coagulants.
  • Such particulates are consistently less than 1.0 micron in size.
  • the inorganic coagulants cannot aid in the precipitation of microfine colloidal silica.
  • the partially formed floe will also deform and block the membrane pores, preventing flow.
  • the present invention is directed to a process for removing silica from large volumes of wastewater.
  • a wastewater stream containing silica is treated with an organic polymer.
  • the coagulant reacts with the silica to form spherical particulates which agglomerate into clusters having a size greater than about 5 ⁇ .
  • a wastewater stream includes raw water containing silica as well as process water streams containing silica.
  • Organic and polymeric coagulants which can be used to achieve the desired particulate formation, such as polyacryl- amides (cationic, nonionic, and anionic) , epi-dma's (epichlo- rohydrin/dimethyla ine polymers having a molecular weight from in the range from 25,000 to 1.5 million, preferably greater than 100,000, and more preferably between 100,000 and 300,000),
  • DADMAC's polydiallydimethylammonium chlorides
  • copolymers of acrylamide and DADMAC natural guar, etc.
  • the stoichiometric ratio of coagulant to silica is preferably optimized to result in acceptable silica removal at minimum coagulant cost.
  • the required coagulant concentration will depend on several factors, including silica contaminant influent concentration, wastewater flow rate, silica contaminant effluent compliance requirement, coagulant/contaminant reaction kinetics, etc.
  • the ratio of silicon to coagulant contaminant is typically in the range from 20:1 to 50:1, depending on the system, an preferably about 40:1.
  • the ratio of silicon to coagulant can be 120:1 or even higher.
  • the optimum mole ratio will also vary depending on the coagulant used. For instance, low molecular weight epi-dma and very high molecular weight epi- dma require from 3 to 5 times the dose to flocculate the silicon.
  • organic coagulants cause the silica to form well defined spherical particles which agglomerate to form particles having a size in the range from about 10 ⁇ to 90 ⁇ .
  • the silica particles are easily separated from microfiltration membranes enabling efficient silica removal without membrane degradation.
  • Small amounts of a supplemental coagulant can optionally be used in combination with the organic and polymeric coagulant to optimize the silica removal.
  • typical supplemental coagulants include, aluminum chlorohydrate ("ACH,” Al n 0H 2n .
  • m Cl m e.g., Al 4 OH 6 Cl 2 with a typical A1:C1 ratio of 2:1
  • sodium aluminate NaA10 2
  • aluminum chloride A1C1,
  • polyaluminum chloride (“PAC,” A1 6 0C1 5 )
  • the typical mole ratio of silica to inorganic coagulant is about 25:1.
  • Treated wastewater is passed through a microfiltration membrane which physically separates the silica contaminant from the wastewater.
  • Suitable microfiltration membranes are commercially available from manufacturers such as W.L. Gore, Koch, and National Filter Media (Salt Lake City, Utah) .
  • one GOR-TEX® membrane used in the present invention is made of polypropylene felt with a sprayed coating of teflon. The teflon coating is intended to promote water passage through the membrane.
  • Such microfiltration membrane material has been found to be useful for many wastewater treatment systems. However, when used in a system for removing fluoride or silica, it has been observed that the coagulated particles adhere to the exterior and interior surface and plug the membrane. Back- flushing was not effective in such cases.
  • the microfiltration membranes are used in a tubular "sock" configuration to maximize surface area.
  • the membrane sock is placed over a slotted tube to prevent the sock from collapsing during use.
  • a net material is placed between the membrane sock and the slotted tube to facilitate flow between the membrane and the slots in the tube.
  • a large number of membrane modules, each containing a number of individual filter socks, are used.
  • the microfiltration membranes preferably have a pore size in the range from 0.5 micron to 5 micron, and preferably from 0.5 micron to 1.0 micron. By controlling the ratio of coagulant to silica contaminant, 99.99% of the precipitated contaminant particles can be greater than 5 microns. This allows the use of larger pore size microfiltration membranes. It has been found that the treated wastewater flow rate through 0.5 to 1 micron microfiltration membranes can be in the range from 150 gallons per square foot of membrane per day ("GFD") to 600 GFD.
  • Solids are preferably removed from the membrane surface by periodically backflushing the microfiltration membranes and draining the filtration vessel within which the membranes are located. The periodic, short duration back flush removes any buildup of contaminants from the walls of the microfiltration membrane socks. The dislodged solid material within the filtration vessel is flushed into a holding tank for further processing of the solids.
  • Wastewater pretreatment chemistry creates insoluble silica contaminant particulates which are efficiently removed by the microfiltration membranes.
  • Figure 1A is a photomicrograph of the precipitated silica particles produced in Example 3 at 24,000x magnification.
  • Figure IB is a photomicrograph of the precipitated silica particles produced in Example 3 at 49,000x magnification.

  • FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of one wastewater microfiltration apparatus for high flow impurity removal.
  • the present invention is directed to a process for removing silica contaminants from large volumes of wastewater.
  • the wastewater is collected and pretreated with one or more organic polymer coagulants such that the silica reacts with the coagulant (s) to form spherical particulates which agglomerate into clusters having a size greater than 5 ⁇ .
  • the chemical coagulants are preferably mixed with the wastewater using reaction vessels or static in-line mixers, although other mixing methods can be used.
  • the treated wastewater is then passed through a microfiltration membrane having a pore size in the range from 0.5 ⁇ to 5 ⁇ to remove the silica contaminant particulates.
  • wastewater flow rates in the range from 150 gallons per square foot of membrane per day ("GFD") to 600 GFD are possible.

  • the microfiltration membranes are preferably provided in a cassette arranged module.
  • the microfiltration membranes provide a positive particle separation in a high recovery dead head filtration array.
  • the dead head filtration operates effectively at low pressures (4 psi to 15 psi, preferably 5 psi to 10 psi) and high flow rates, allowing 100% discharge of the supplied water with no transfer pumps needed. Solids which settle on the wall of the membrane during filtration are periodically backflushed away (and gravity settled) from the membrane surface to ensure a continuously clean filtration area.
  • the individual cassette module design allows for easy replacement of the membrane modules.
  • filter socks useful with the present invention contain a teflon coating on a polypropylene or polyethylene felt backing material. Such socks are available from W.L. Gore.
  • Another presently preferred filter sock manufactured by National Filter Media, Salt Lake City, Utah consists of a polypropylene membrane bonded to a polypropylene or polyethylene felt backing. Membrane "failure" is due primarily to flux loss, not mechanical failure. Many operations deem it more cost-effective to replace the membrane socks instead of cleaning contaminants from the membrane.

  • the membranes manufactured by W.L. Gore and National Filter Media have been found to be robust and free of catastrophic failures at a temperature of 160°F and a pH greater than 13.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'extraire la silice de volumes importants d'eaux usées. Dans ce procédé on traite un flux d'eaux usées contenant de la silice avec un coagulant chimique tel qu'un polymère épichlorhydrine/diméthylamine, de manière à former des particules sphériques qui s'agglomèrent en paquets d'un diamètre supérieur à 5 microns. On passe ensuite les eaux usées traitées à travers une membrane de microfiltration qui sépare physiquement les particules contaminantes de silice des eaux usées. On peut utiliser à cette fin des membranes de microfiltration disponibles dans le commerce comprenant des pores d'une dimension comprise entre 0,5 microns et 5 microns. La vitesse d'écoulement des eaux usées traitées à travers les membranes de microfiltration peut aller de 150 à 600 gallons par pied carré de membrane par jour. Les solides sont éliminés de la surface de la membrane par un rinçage périodique à courant inverse des membranes de microfiltration et les solides sont drainés à intervalles minutés de la cuve de filtration contenant les membranes. Le matériau solide délogé de la cuve de filtration est déversé dans une cuve de rétention pour être soumis à des traitements complémentaires.
