Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of purifying liquid, by use of a sorbent for adsorbing or absorbing impurities present in the liquid.
  • the liquid is subjected to filtration, in which the sorbent is held on the upstream side of the filtering element, letting pure liquid permeate the filtering element and be obtained as the filtrate.
  • Known filtering devices on the market include filter cartridges or bags, i n whi ch liquid is forced with high pressure through the filter, whereby solid impurities remain in the filter material.
  • Devices of this type are very simple and their cost of acquisition is low, but they require continuous maintenance, and additionally, the filters are easily clogged and of- ten need be frequently replaced, which brings about high service and maintenance costs.
  • filtering aid which is coated onto a surface of a filtering element to retain various impurities, while liquid permeates the coat of filtering aid and the filtering element for being obtained as purified filtrate.
  • This precoat technique has been successfully used to remove finely-divided impurities, which tend to escape other conventional purifying methods.
  • filtering aid precoats reference is made to WO 2013/1 17812, which describes rotary drum or disc filters aimed at removal of lime sludge from white and green liquor of chemical pulping processes. As the coat layer gets clogged, scrapers are used to remove the glogged surface, and liquid sprays are employed to wash the filtering element before the used precoat is replaced by a new one.
  • WO 2013/054000 Another example is WO 2013/054000, in which an autogenous precoat is formed and used for clarifying a liquid containing extremely small solid particles.
  • the technique is intended for use in chemical and process industry, as well as metallurgy plants.
  • Clarification filtering refers to removing finely divided solids from a liquid flow. Particularly it concerns liquids, where the amount of solids com- pared to the amount of the liquid to be filtered is small (from 0.1 mg/l to 10 g/l) and where also the particle size of the solids is very small (from 0.1 to 50 ⁇ ). This has traditionally been an especially difficult range for filtering. Except for process industry clarification filtering is used for example in mining, in food and pharmaceutical industries, in pretreat- ment of ballast water of ships and in production of clean water.
  • Cross-flow filtration is another known clarification filtration method.
  • cross-flow filtration liquid which contains finely divided particulate material, is fed tangentially across the surface of the filtering element, in other words, not perpendicularly to the surface. Due to the high speed of the liquid flow there is generated a shearing force, which makes part of the liquid to penetrate through the filtering element and separate as a purified filtrate, while the rest, holding the solid impurities, is removed as a retentate and may be recirculated to filtration.
  • An advantage of the cross-flow method is that any filter cake building up, that might block the surface of the filtering element, is flushed away during the filtering process, thus extending notably the operational life time of the filtering element.
  • a method and an apparatus operating on the cross-flow filtration principle are disclosed in EP 1 044 713 A1.
  • the fil- tering element is brought to rotational movement and the liquid flow to be filtered is fed to the outside of the filtering element in a direction substantially opposed to the direction of movement of the mantle surface, the liquid being filtered through the element mantle to the inside of the element.
  • An improved filtering device utilizing the cross-flow principle is described i n WO 2012/104493.
  • the filtering element is stationary and thus cheaper to manufacture.
  • the liquid to be filtered hits the outer surface of the filter element with an adequate speed and tangentially over the total cylindrical surface of the element, whereby efficient filtering is guaranteed at increased capacity and lower operating costs.
  • cross-flow filtering over the precoat technique is the self-cleaning aspect of the filter element surface, which avoids the re- generation phase of a precoat, which necessitates interrupting the process for the renewals.
  • a drawback is that the cross-flow technique has been limited to clarification treatment of liquids with finely-divided solids. There is even a need to treat liquids, which are oily or carry dissolved metals and which cross-flow techniques have so far been unable to han- die.
  • the purpose of the invention is to solve the above problem by introducing a new method based on the cross-flow principle, which is able to purify liquids with oils, flocculated material as well as metal ions as impuri- ties.
  • the solution according to the invention is a method, which uses a finely-divided particulate sorbent and comprises the steps of (i) mixing the liquid to be purified with the sorbent to form a suspension, in which impurities are adsorbed or absorbed by the sorbent particles, so as to form a premixed suspension, (ii) directing a flow of said suspension to pass by a surface of a porous filtering element, whereby (iii) part of the liquid penetrates through the filtering element and is removed through a filtrate outlet as purified liquid filtrate, and (iv) the sorbent, together with the rest of the liquid travels towards at least one retentate outlet, and is removed through said at least one outlet, while (v) the filtering element is cylindrical,
  • the sorbent used in the invention is generally similar to the filtering aid material used in known precoat techniques, but as distinguished from the prior art it is not coated onto the filtering element surface but cap- tures the impurities before the filtration step, hits the filtering element surface in a substantially tangential flow, and is allowed to run along the surface towards the retentate outlet as a carrier of the impurities adhered thereto.
  • the main categories of impurities the method is particularly fit to treat are oils, which do not dissolve or mix with the liquid that is being purified, flocks, which without use of the sorbent according to the invention would block the cross-flow filtering, and would also clog any precoat prema- turely, and dissolved metals, which previous cross-flow and precoat techniques are both unable to remove. Even organic impurities may be removed by the process.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that in addition to purification due to the sorbent, any finely-divided particulate impurities present in the liq- uid being treated are removed as well, in accordance with the teachings of e.g. WO 2012/104493, which is incorporated by reference as part of the present description. The result is clarification of the liquid as taught in said reference.
  • Suitable sorbent materials for use in the invention are porous minerals, such as diatomaceous earth and perlite, which are known as useful precoat materials for filtration, and kaolin, magnesite, talc and ferric precipitates, which are described as particulate adsorbents in WO 201 1/042592, Fl 20120013 A and Fl 122917 B.
  • Diatomaceous earth is particularly effective for removal of oil from an aqueous medium.
  • Active carbon is useful as a sorbent in the invention also, e.g. for separation of Au from cyanide solutions and for removal of organic impurities from drinking water.
  • Suitable particle size of the sorbent is in the range of about 5 to 50 ⁇ , and suitable consistency of the premixed suspension is in the range of of 0.5 to 2 %, preferably about 1 %.
  • Another group of useful sorbent materials are solid biophosphonates, which are used to capture dissolved metals in particular from aqueous liquids. Such materials are known and have been described e.g. in WO 2012/131 170 A1 . Metals are complexed with biophosphonates within different pH ranges, for instance Al at pH 1 -2, and several others, e.g.
  • Biophosphonate particles may be very small, in the range of 1 to 5 ⁇ , and are difficult to separate from the liquid phase by conventional filtration, but may be effectively used according to the cross-flow filtering techniques of the present invention.
  • the pore size of the filtering element is preferably about 20 ⁇ at most.
  • the particle size of the sorbent should be the same or, prefer- ably, larger than the pore size of the filtering element.
  • the filtering element is cylindrical, preferably a stationary cylinder, with a circular cross-section, and the suspension flow is directed substantially tangentially to the surface of the filtering element.
  • Rotating the cylindrical filtering element according to the teachings of EP 1044713 A1 may be contemplated as an alternative, however.
  • the suspension may be fed centrally with respect to the length of the cylindrical filtering element, for instance through a number of oblique apertures in an outer cylinder as described in WO 2012/104493, and the re- tentate is removed from outlets at the opposite ends of the filtering ele- ment.
  • the high pressure of the feed flow drives the sorbent to travel as a spiral flow along the periphery of the filtering element towards the outlets, while the cross-flow phenomenon keeps the surface of the element from being blocked by the solids.
  • the retentate which consists of the sorbent, the impurities adhered thereto, as well as part of the liquid as carrier, may be circulated back and used for forming the premixed suspension. As the amount of impurities in the sorbent grows, it may be discarded or regenerated for reuse in the process.
  • adjusting the pH of the premixed suspension may allow the sorbent to adsorb or absorb dissolved metals selectively, so that another metal remains dissolved and ends up in the filtrate.
  • the pH of the circulated retentate it may then be possible to release the metal(s) to the liquid phase and thereby regenerate the sorbent. For instance, reduction of the pH to 3 or less by addition of strong acid lets bisphosphonate used to capture Fe, Co or Ni be regenerated, or increasing the pH to 3 or more by addition of a base does the same if biophosphonate has been used to capture Al.
  • the same cross-flow filtering equipment may be used as for the liquid purification process prop- er.
  • the liquid phase containing the redissolved metals passes through the filtering element and is removed through the filtrate outlet. The metals can then be recovered, if valuable.
  • Particularly harmful elements which can be removed from aqueous liq- uids by use of the invention, include As, Sb and U.
  • Elements removable by use of the invention, which are particularly valuable and therefore desirable for recovery, include noble metals such as Au and Pt, and rare earth metals.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically an arrangement for purifying impure liquid, including means for mixing the same with a sorbent and subsequent filtration,
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a filtering apparatus useful in the invention, along the longitudinal axis thereof. Detailed description of the Invention

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de purification de liquides, qui contiennent des impuretés telles que de l'huile ou des métaux dissous. Le liquide est d'abord mélangé avec un sorbant particulaire finement divisée pour former une suspension, dans laquelle les impuretés sont adsorbées ou absorbées par les particules de sorbant, pour former une suspension prémélangée. Un flux de cette suspension est ensuite dirigé pratiquement tangentiellement vers une surface d'un élément de filtration poreux (7), moyennant quoi une partie du liquide pénètre dans l'élément de filtration et est enlevé par une sortie de filtrat en tant que filtrat liquide purifié (8). Le flux tangentiel maintient l'élément de filtration (7) non bloqué et le sorbant, avec le reste du liquide, se déplace le long de la surface de l'élément de filtration pour être retiré par une sortie de rétentat (9). Le procédé est également utile pour la clarification du liquide par élimination d'impuretés solides finement divisées.
