図1は、本発明の純水製造装置の一実施形態を示す系統説明図である。FIG. 1 is a system explanatory diagram showing one embodiment of the pure water production apparatus of the present invention.

以下、本発明の実施形態について以下詳細に説明する。本実施形態は本発明を実施する一例であって、本発明は本実施形態に限定されない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. This embodiment is an example of implementing the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

本発明者は、フミン凝集物による再生不良の原因を以下のように考えている。
フミンを含有する市水もしくはこれに相当するろ過水、井水等の原水を陰イオン交換樹脂に通水すると純水製造工程における原水の通水方向の上流側に塩化物イオン、硫酸イオン、硝酸イオンの鉱酸イオンが吸着し下流側にフミンが吸着する。
再生工程において、再生薬剤として、苛性ソーダなどのアルカリを、原水の通水とは逆方向に下流側から上流側に通水を行うと再生効率が向上することが知られている。
原水の通水とは逆方向からの再生薬剤の通薬により、陰イオン交換樹脂の最下流側に吸着されたフミンが脱着する。
脱着されたフミンは再生薬剤に溶解し、フミンが溶解した再生薬剤は、さらに、鉱酸イオンが吸着された陰イオン交換樹脂の上流側を通液する。
再生薬剤が陰イオン交換樹脂の上流側を通液すると、陰イオン交換樹脂の上流側に吸着された前述の鉱酸が一気に脱着することで周囲のpHが7以下の酸性まで低下する。
フミンは酸性で凝集する性質を有しており、このような条件下でフミンが凝集し陰イオン交換樹脂層の閉塞や再生不良が発生する。
そこで、本発明者は、再生処理時の陰イオン交換樹脂からの鉱酸イオンの脱着によるpHの急激な低下を抑制する方法について検討した結果、アルカリなどの再生薬剤の通薬による再生処理工程の前に、陰イオン交換樹脂を、逆洗水又は逆洗空気により逆洗することが有効であることを見出した。
再生薬剤の通薬前に、逆洗水又は逆洗空気による逆洗工程を実施すると、イオン交換樹脂に吸着された鉱酸が分散し、通薬時の急激なpH低下が抑制される。
The present inventor considers the cause of poor regeneration due to humin aggregates as follows.
When city water containing humic acid or equivalent filtered water or raw water such as well water is passed through an anion exchange resin, chloride ions, sulfate ions, and nitric acid are added to the upstream side of the raw water flow direction in the pure water manufacturing process. Mineral acid ions of ions are adsorbed and humin is adsorbed downstream.
In the regeneration process, it is known that the regeneration efficiency is improved by passing an alkali such as caustic soda as a regeneration agent from the downstream side to the upstream side in the opposite direction to the flow of the raw water.
Humine adsorbed on the most downstream side of the anion exchange resin is desorbed by feeding the regenerating agent in the direction opposite to the feeding of the raw water.
The desorbed humin is dissolved in the regenerating agent, and the regenerating agent in which the humin is dissolved is further passed through the upstream side of the anion exchange resin on which the mineral acid ions are adsorbed.
When the regenerating agent passes through the upstream side of the anion exchange resin, the above-mentioned mineral acid adsorbed on the upstream side of the anion exchange resin is desorbed at once, and the surrounding pH is lowered to an acidity of 7 or less.
Humin has the property of aggregating in an acidic environment, and under such conditions, humin agglomerates, causing clogging and poor regeneration of the anion-exchange resin layer.
Therefore, the present inventors investigated a method for suppressing a rapid decrease in pH due to desorption of mineral acid ions from the anion exchange resin during regeneration treatment, and found that the regeneration treatment process by passing a regeneration chemical such as an alkali is applied. Previously, it was found to be effective to backwash the anion exchange resin with backwash water or backwash air.
If the backwashing step with backwashing water or backwashing air is carried out before the regenerating chemical is passed through, the mineral acid adsorbed to the ion exchange resin is dispersed, and a rapid pH drop during feeding is suppressed.

本発明の再生方法では、フミンを含む原水を通水した後の陰イオン交換樹脂を対象とする。
原水に含まれるフミンとは、河川水や湖沼水を起源とする工業用水に含まれる土壌由来の有機物の総称である。このフミンは、地域によって組成が異なることが一般的に知られており、直鎖の炭化水素と多環芳香族化合物(分子量100~10万程度)の難分解性高分子化合物である。フミンには、土壌と同じ褐色のフミン酸やフルボ酸が含まれ、これらはフミン分解生成物(腐植質)とも呼ばれる。質といわれている。フミン質とは植物などが微生物によって分解されるときの最終分解生成物で、直鎖の炭化水素と多環芳香族化合物(分子量100~10万程度)の難分解性高分子化合物である。土壌と同じ褐色のフミン酸やフルボ酸があり腐植質ともいう。
原水に含まれるフミンの濃度は、20μg/L以上であれば特に制限されない。
In the regeneration method of the present invention, an anion exchange resin after passing raw water containing humin is targeted.
Humin contained in raw water is a general term for soil-derived organic matter contained in industrial water originating from river water and lake water. It is generally known that the composition of humin differs depending on the region, and it is a hard-to-decompose high-molecular compound of linear hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic compounds (molecular weight of about 100 to 100,000). Humin contains the same brown humic acid and fulvic acid as soil, and these are also called humic decomposition products (humus). called quality. Humic substances are the final decomposition products when plants and the like are degraded by microorganisms, and are hard-to-decompose high-molecular compounds of linear hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic compounds (molecular weight of about 100 to 100,000). It contains the same brown humic acid and fulvic acid as the soil, and is also called humus.
The concentration of humin contained in raw water is not particularly limited as long as it is 20 μg/L or more.

再生の対象となる陰イオン交換樹脂としては、特に制限されず、強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂及び弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂等が挙げられ、再生効率の点から、弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂を使用することが好ましく、再生薬剤の使用量を削減できる点から、弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂と強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂を併用することがより好ましい。 The anion exchange resin to be regenerated is not particularly limited, and includes strongly basic anion exchange resins and weakly basic anion exchange resins. is preferably used, and it is more preferable to use a combination of a weakly basic anion exchange resin and a strongly basic anion exchange resin from the viewpoint that the amount of regenerating agent used can be reduced.

弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂としては、アンバーライト(登録商標)IRA96SB(商品名、デュポン)、アンバーライト(登録商標)IRA98(商品名、デュポン)、アンバーライト(登録商標)FPA77UPS(商品名、デュポン)のほか、グルカミン基を官能基に持つホウ素選択性アニオン交換樹脂である、アンバーライト(登録商標)IRA743(デュポン社製社)が挙げられる。
強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂としては、アンバーライト(登録商標)IRA400J(商品名、デュポン)、アンバージェット(登録商標)4002(商品名、デュポン)、アンバーライト(登録商標)IRA900J(商品名、デュポン)等が挙げられる。
Examples of weakly basic anion exchange resins include Amberlite (registered trademark) IRA96SB (trade name, DuPont), Amberlite (registered trademark) IRA98 (trade name, DuPont), and Amberlite (registered trademark) FPA77UPS (trade name, DuPont). ), and Amberlite (registered trademark) IRA743 (manufactured by DuPont), which is a boron-selective anion exchange resin having a glucamine group as a functional group.
Examples of strongly basic anion exchange resins include Amberlite (registered trademark) IRA400J (trade name, DuPont), Amberjet (registered trademark) 4002 (trade name, DuPont), and Amberlite (registered trademark) IRA900J (trade name, DuPont). ) and the like.

本発明の再生方法では、フミンを20μg/L以上含む原水を通水後の陰イオン交換樹脂に対し、再生処理を開始する前に、逆洗処理を行う。
逆洗処理は、陰イオン交換樹脂が充填されたイオン交換塔内において、陰イオン交換樹脂に、逆洗水及び/又は逆洗空気を塔底部から塔頂部へ通すことにより実施される。
逆洗処理の時間は、フミンの凝集が発生する陰イオン交換樹脂の体積以上の通水量となる時間とすることが好ましく、具体的には、好ましくは10秒以上、より好ましくは20秒以上、より一層好ましくは25秒以上行われることが好ましい。処理時間の上限は、600秒以下であることが好ましい。
また逆洗処理では、逆洗水及び逆洗空気の流速は、速すぎると、逆洗水及び逆洗空気による混合が不十分な状態で、陰イオン交換樹脂が、陰イオン交換塔の上部に圧密される状態になる可能性があることから、陰イオン交換樹脂の種類に適した流速を設定する必要があるが、逆洗水の流速は1m/h以上10m/h以下の範囲とし、逆洗空気は、陰イオン交換樹脂量の0.1倍/min以上10倍/min以下の空気量とすることが好ましい。
In the regeneration method of the present invention, the anion exchange resin after passing raw water containing 20 μg/L or more of humin is subjected to backwashing before starting the regeneration treatment.
The backwashing treatment is carried out by passing backwash water and/or backwash air through the anion exchange resin from the bottom to the top in the ion exchange tower filled with the anion exchange resin.
The time for the backwashing treatment is preferably a time at which the amount of water passing is equal to or greater than the volume of the anion exchange resin where humin aggregation occurs. More preferably, it is performed for 25 seconds or longer. The upper limit of the processing time is preferably 600 seconds or less.
In the backwashing process, if the flow rate of the backwashing water and the backwashing air is too high, the anion exchange resin will reach the upper part of the anion exchange tower in a state where the backwashing water and the backwashing air are not sufficiently mixed. Since there is a possibility of being compacted, it is necessary to set a flow rate suitable for the type of anion exchange resin. It is preferable that the amount of air for washing is 0.1 times/min or more and 10 times/min or less of the amount of anion exchange resin.

そして逆洗処理が行われる陰イオン交換塔内において、陰イオン交換樹脂を充填した陰イオン交換樹脂充填層の上方に、空間部(以下、これを「フリーボード」ともいう)を有することが好ましい。陰イオン交換塔内に、フリーボードを有することにより、逆洗による陰イオン交換樹脂の流動が円滑に行われる。フリーボードは、陰イオン交換樹脂層の高さの20%以上100%以下にあると、陰イオン交換樹脂の円滑な流動の点とイオン交換塔の設置スペースの点から好ましい。陰イオン交換樹脂は強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂のみ充填されるケース、弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂と強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂が目板等で仕切られ個別に充填されるケース、弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂と強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂が仕切りなく一括で充填されるケースが考えられる。樹脂層高はそれぞれの陰イオン交換樹脂が再生された状態で強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂のみ充填されるケースでは強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂の、弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂と強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂が目板等で仕切られ個別に充填されるケースでは弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂の、弱塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂と強塩基性陰イオン交換樹脂が仕切りなく一括で充填されるケースでは両方の樹脂の層高を基準にフリーボードの高さを計算する。 In the anion exchange tower where backwashing is performed, it is preferable to have a space (hereinafter also referred to as "free board") above the anion exchange resin packed bed filled with anion exchange resin. . By providing a freeboard in the anion exchange column, the anion exchange resin can be smoothly flowed by backwashing. It is preferable that the freeboard is 20% or more and 100% or less of the height of the anion exchange resin layer from the viewpoint of smooth flow of the anion exchange resin and installation space of the ion exchange tower. The anion exchange resin is filled with only the strongly basic anion exchange resin, the case where the weakly basic anion exchange resin and the strongly basic anion exchange resin are separated by a batten etc. and filled separately, the weakly basic A case is conceivable in which the anion exchange resin and the strongly basic anion exchange resin are filled together without partition. In the case where each anion exchange resin is regenerated and only the strongly basic anion exchange resin is packed, the height of the resin bed is the height of the strongly basic anion exchange resin, the weakly basic anion exchange resin and the strongly basic anion exchange resin. In the case where the ion-exchange resin is partitioned by a batten etc. and filled individually, the weakly basic anion-exchange resin and the strongly basic anion-exchange resin are filled together without partitions. Calculate the height of the freeboard based on the layer height of both resins.

本発明の再生方法の対象は、フミンを20μg/L以上含む原水を通水後の陰イオン交換樹脂であるが、陰イオン交換樹脂への原水の通水は、陰イオン交換樹脂の総交換容量に対し、90%以下のアニオン負荷量となるような原水の通水を行うことが好ましい。
フミンを含む原水の通水後、陰イオン交換樹脂では、通水方向の上流側に塩化物イオン、硫酸イオン、硝酸イオンの鉱酸イオンが吸着し、下流側にフミンが吸着している。
陰イオン交換樹脂に再生薬剤の通薬による再生処理を行うと、フミン凝集の原因となる鉱酸イオンの脱着による急激なpHの低下が起こるが、陰イオン交換樹脂に、原水に含まれるイオンが吸着していない未使用の領域が存在すると、脱着した鉱酸イオンの一部が再吸着され、急激なpHの低下が抑制される。
なお、陰イオン交換樹脂の総交換容量に対するアニオン負荷量の下限値は好ましくは20%である。
The object of the regeneration method of the present invention is the anion exchange resin after passing the raw water containing 20 μg/L or more of humin. On the other hand, it is preferable to pass the raw water so that the anion load is 90% or less.
After the raw water containing humin is passed through, the anion exchange resin adsorbs mineral acid ions such as chloride ions, sulfate ions, and nitrate ions on the upstream side in the direction of water flow, and humins on the downstream side.
When the anion exchange resin is regenerated by passing a regenerating agent through it, a rapid drop in pH occurs due to the desorption of mineral acid ions that cause humin aggregation. If there is an unused region that is not adsorbed, some of the desorbed mineral acid ions are re-adsorbed, suppressing a rapid drop in pH.
The lower limit of the anion load amount to the total exchange capacity of the anion exchange resin is preferably 20%.

本発明の再生方法では、逆洗処理の後に、再生薬剤による再生処理を行う。
再生処理に使用される再生薬剤としては、苛性ソーダ、水酸化カリウムもしくはアンモニア等が挙げられる。
また再生薬剤の濃度は、1重量%以上25重量%以下の範囲にあることが好ましい。再生薬剤の濃度が1重量%以上であると、コストや作業時間を増大させることなく、陰イオン交換樹脂の再生処理を十分に行うことができ、また25重量%以下であると、再生薬剤による陰イオン交換樹脂の化学劣化が起こりにくくなり、また再生薬剤が接液するタンク、配管、弁類等の材質選定の制約が少なくなり、より低コストでの実施が可能となる。
In the regeneration method of the present invention, the regeneration treatment with the regeneration chemical is performed after the backwashing treatment.
Caustic soda, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, or the like can be used as the regenerating agent used in the regenerating treatment.
Moreover, the concentration of the regenerating agent is preferably in the range of 1% by weight or more and 25% by weight or less. When the concentration of the regenerating agent is 1% by weight or more, the anion exchange resin can be sufficiently regenerated without increasing the cost or working time. Chemical deterioration of the anion exchange resin is less likely to occur, and restrictions on the selection of materials for tanks, pipes, valves, etc. that are in contact with the regenerative agent are reduced, enabling implementation at a lower cost.

再生薬剤による再生処理の条件は、特に制限されず水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム、アンモニアが用いられ通薬濃度は1%以上10%以下の範囲にあることが好ましい。通薬の流速はイオン交換樹脂の体積比で1m/h/m-樹脂以上10m/h/m-樹脂の範囲にあることが好ましい。通薬量はイオン交換樹脂の体積比で10g/L-樹脂以上1000g/L-樹脂の範囲にあることが好ましい。 Conditions for the regeneration treatment with the regeneration agent are not particularly limited, and it is preferable that sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and ammonia are used and the permeable concentration is in the range of 1% or more and 10% or less. The flow rate of the chemical is preferably in the range of 1 m 3 /h/m 3 -resin to 10 m 3 /h/m 3 -resin in terms of volume ratio of the ion exchange resin. It is preferable that the volume ratio of the ion exchange resin is in the range of 10 g/L-resin to 1000 g/L-resin.

本発明の再生処理では、陰イオン交換塔を備えた純水製造装置において、陰イオン交換塔内に充填された陰イオン交換樹脂の再生を行うが、この純水製造装置は、陰イオン交換塔の前段に、陽イオン交換樹脂を充填した陽イオン交換塔を有することが好ましく、さらに、陰イオン交換塔と、陽イオン交換塔の間に、脱炭酸塔を有することがより好ましい。
純水製造装置が、原水の通水方向の上流から、陽イオン交換塔、脱炭酸塔及び陰イオン交換塔の順で配列される構成を有すると、陽イオン交換塔に、原水を通水することで、陽イオン交換樹脂に陽イオンが吸着させる代わりに、水素イオンHが原水中に放出され、pHが1~2程度に下がる。pHが下がることで原水中の炭酸水素イオンHCO が遊離炭酸COに変化する。COは脱炭酸塔で空気中に90%程度放散されるため、陰イオン交換塔の負荷が低減されることから好ましい。
In the regeneration treatment of the present invention, the anion exchange resin packed in the anion exchange tower is regenerated in a pure water production apparatus equipped with an anion exchange tower. It is preferable to have a cation exchange tower filled with a cation exchange resin in the preceding stage, and more preferably have a decarboxylation tower between the anion exchange tower and the cation exchange tower.
When the pure water production apparatus has a configuration in which a cation exchange tower, a decarboxylation tower, and an anion exchange tower are arranged in this order from the upstream in the flow direction of the raw water, the raw water is passed through the cation exchange tower. As a result, hydrogen ions H 2 + are released into the raw water instead of adsorbing cations to the cation exchange resin, and the pH drops to about 1-2. As the pH drops, the hydrogen carbonate ions HCO 3 - in the raw water change to free carbonic acid CO 2 . About 90% of CO 2 is diffused into the air in the decarboxylation tower, which is preferable because the load on the anion exchange tower is reduced.
