Description

  The present invention purifies soil containing gravel, sand and fine-grained soil and contaminated with harmful metals and / or compounds thereof with washing water containing a chelating agent and cleaning the gravel, sand and fine-grained soil. The present invention relates to a soil purification system classified into soil.

  In recent years, sites of production facilities that use harmful metals such as chromium, lead, cadmium, selenium, mercury and / or their compounds (hereinafter collectively referred to as “hazardous metals”) as raw materials or materials, or the vicinity thereof The problem is soil contamination due to illegal soil dumping of industrial waste containing toxic metals and the like. Then, the soil contaminated with toxic metal (hereinafter referred to as “toxic metal-contaminated soil”) is insolubilized, for example, toxic metal at the position where the toxic metal-contaminated soil actually exists (hereinafter referred to as “original position”). Effective purification, such as by containment or electrical repair, is quite difficult. For this reason, the toxic metal-contaminated soil is generally removed from the original position by excavation and purified at an external soil purification facility.

  Conventionally, as a method for purifying toxic metal-contaminated soil at such off-site soil purification facilities, a cleaning method that removes toxic metals by washing toxic metal-contaminated soil with washing water or washing liquid has been widely used. Yes. Thus, the applicant of the present application removes harmful metals by washing the soil contaminated with harmful metals with washing water containing a chelating agent, while using a solid phase adsorbent to remove harmful metals, etc. from the washed water after washing. Various closed system type soil remediation facilities that regenerate and reuse wash water or chelating agents by removing water and do not discharge wash water out of the facility have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 5).

Japanese Patent No. 576094 Japanese Patent No. 5771342 Japanese Patent No. 5771343 Japanese Patent No. 6022102 Japanese Patent No. 6026700

  By the way, in the soil remediation facilities disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 related to the applicant of the present application, the soil contaminated with harmful metals and the like and the washing water containing the chelating agent are mixed and stirred, and are adhered to the soil. Hazardous metals and the like are separated from the soil and captured by the chelating agent, and the soil is classified to generate gravel and the like.

  Washing water containing a chelating agent is attached to the gravel thus produced, but gravel containing a chelating agent is not preferable as a civil engineering / building material. In addition, the chelating agent in the soil remediation facility is reduced by the amount taken away by the gravel. Therefore, even if the chelating agent is repeatedly used while being regenerated, it is necessary to replenish the chelating agent in an amount corresponding to the chelating agent carried away by gravel. For this reason, in a soil remediation facility that purifies a large amount of contaminated soil (for example, 1000 tons / day), a considerable amount of chelating agent must be constantly replenished, which increases the cost of soil treatment. is there.

  Therefore, in the soil purification facilities disclosed in Patent Documents 4 to 5 related to the applicant of the present application, the gravel discharged from the trommel and adhering to the cleaning liquid containing the chelating agent is washed with rinsing water and the chelating agent from the gravel. To be removed. Then, the cleaning wastewater containing the chelating agent is evaporated to the atmosphere by the evaporating sand in the sand container, the chelating agent is left and accumulated in the evaporating sand, and the evaporating sand containing the chelating agent is introduced into the soil treatment system. Thus, the chelating agent is recovered (so-called Shioda method). However, since a large amount of rinsing water is required to clean the gravel to which the cleaning liquid containing the chelating agent adheres, a very large area sand container is required to evaporate a large amount of cleaning wastewater. For this reason, there exists a problem that a large site is required for installation of the collection | recovery equipment of a chelating agent.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and purifies soil contaminated with harmful metals with washing water containing a circulating chelating agent, while separating gravel from the soil. For a closed system type soil remediation facility that has been reused, the chelating agent is prevented from being taken away by gravel, and the site area for the recovery of the chelating agent is greatly reduced. It is an object to be solved to provide a means for enabling this.

  A soil purification system according to the present invention made to solve the above problems includes a soil washing classification unit, a chelating agent recovery unit, a mixing unit, a chelating agent regeneration unit, a rinsing water generation unit, and a washing water supply unit. And. Here, the soil washing classifying unit contains soil containing gravel, sand and fine-grained soil and contaminated with harmful metals or the like (hazardous metal and / or compound thereof) or these ions with washing water containing a chelating agent. Wash and purify and classify (separate) into gravel, sand and fine-grained soil. The chelating agent recovery unit removes and recovers the chelating agent adhering to the gravel by washing the gravel separated by the soil washing classification unit with rinsing water that does not contain the chelating agent.

  The mixing unit mixes the cleaning water discharged from the soil cleaning classification unit and the cleaning waste water generated by the cleaning of the gravel in the chelating agent recovery unit, and generates mixed water obtained by mixing the cleaning water and the cleaning waste water. . The chelating agent regeneration unit receives the mixed water from the mixing unit, and removes the harmful metal from the chelating agent capturing the harmful metal in the mixed water to regenerate the chelating agent. The rinsing water generating unit receives a mixed water discharged from the chelating agent regeneration unit and uses a reverse osmosis membrane to separate a reverse osmosis membrane separation device that separates the concentrated water in which the chelating agent is concentrated and the permeated water not containing the chelating agent. The permeated water is supplied to the chelating agent recovery section as rinse water. The washing water supply unit receives the concentrated water discharged from the rinse water generation unit, and supplies (returns) the washing water as washing water to the soil washing classification unit.

  In the soil purification system according to the present invention, the mixing unit has a mixing tank that receives and mixes the cleaning water discharged from the soil cleaning classification unit and the cleaning wastewater discharged from the chelating agent recovery unit. preferable. Further, the washing water supply unit includes a storage tank that stores the concentrated water discharged from the rinse water generation unit as washing water, and a pump and a pipeline that supply (return) the washing water in the storage tank to the soil washing classification unit. It is preferable to have.

  In the soil purification system according to the present invention, it is preferable that the soil washing classification unit includes a mixing device, a first classification device, a second classification device, a sedimentation separation device, and a filtration device. In this case, the mixing device mixes and stirs the soil containing the gravel, sand and fine-grained soil and the washing water, and removes the harmful metal adhering to the soil from the soil and captures it by the chelating agent. . The first classifying device receives a mixture containing soil and washing water discharged from the mixing device, and separates gravel from the mixture. The second classifying device receives a mixture containing sand, fine soil, and washing water discharged from the first classifying device, and separates the sand from the mixture. The sedimentation separator separates the mixture containing the fine-grained soil discharged from the second classifier and the washing water into supernatant water and sludge containing the fine-grained soil by sedimentation. The filtration device filters the sludge discharged from the sedimentation separator to produce a filter cake and a filtrate.

  The chelating agent regenerating part has a complex forming power higher than that of the chelating agent, and has a solid-phase adsorbing material that adsorbs harmful metals in the mixed water or these ions when coming into contact with the mixed water received from the mixing part, It is preferable to have a chelating agent regenerator that regenerates the chelating agent by removing harmful metals and the like or these ions from the chelating agent in the mixed water. The chelating agent recovery unit preferably has a gravel rinsing device that sprays or jets rinsing water on the gravel separated by the first classifier to wash away the chelating agent held in the gravel.

  According to the soil purification system according to the present invention, the pebbles separated by the soil washing classification unit are permeated water containing no chelating agent generated by the rinse water generating unit (reverse osmosis membrane separation device) in the chelating agent collecting unit. It is washed with (rinse water) and the chelating agent adhering to the gravel is removed and collected. Therefore, high-quality gravel that does not contain a chelating agent can be obtained. Then, the cleaning wastewater containing the chelating agent generated by the gravel cleaning in the chelating agent recovery unit is sequentially introduced into the chelating agent regeneration unit and the rinse water generation unit via the mixing unit. Thus, the chelating agent in the washing wastewater is returned to the soil washing classification unit along with the concentrated water (washing water) of the reverse osmosis membrane separator, and is not discharged outside the soil purification system. Therefore, the loss of the chelating agent outside the soil purification system is reliably prevented.

  On the other hand, the installation area of the rinse water generator (reverse osmosis membrane separator) is very small. In addition, the mixing unit and the washing water supply unit have a very small installation area. Therefore, a very large site is not required for the installation of the chelating agent recovery facility. Therefore, the chelating agent can be prevented from being taken out of the soil purification system by gravel, and the site area of the facility for recovering the chelating agent can be extremely reduced.

Remove and recover the chelating agent.

  The mixing unit 7 mixes the cleaning water discharged from the soil cleaning and classifying unit 2 with the cleaning waste water generated by cleaning the gravel, sand and / or fine-grained soil in the chelating agent recovery unit 4. To produce mixed water. The chelating agent regeneration unit 3 receives the mixed water from the mixing unit 7 and removes the harmful metal from the chelating agent capturing the harmful metal in the mixed water to regenerate the chelating agent. The rinsing water generation unit 5 receives the mixed water discharged from the chelating agent regeneration unit 3 and separates the concentrated water in which the chelating agent is concentrated and the permeated water not containing the chelating agent by the reverse osmosis membrane. The apparatus 1110 (refer FIG. 7) is provided, and permeated water is supplied to the chelating agent collection | recovery part 4 as rinse water. The washing water supply unit 8 receives the concentrated water discharged from the rinse water generation unit 5 and supplies (returns) the washing water as washing water to the soil washing classification unit 2.

  In the mixing unit 7, the supernatant water (washing water) discharged from the sedimentation separator 14 and the washing waste water discharged from the chelating agent recovery unit 4 are mixed to generate mixed water. This mixed water is introduced into the chelating agent regeneration unit 3. The chelating agent regeneration unit 3 has a solid-phase adsorbent that has a higher complexing power than the chelating agent and adsorbs harmful metals in the mixed water when contacted with the mixed water, and removes harmful metals from the chelating agent in the mixed water. A chelating agent regeneration device 41 (see FIG. 3) that removes and regenerates the chelating agent is provided. The solid-phase adsorbent has a multipoint interaction by coordinating bonds and hydrogen bonds in which a cyclic molecule is supported on a carrier and a chelate ligand is modified on the cyclic molecule, and harmful metals, etc. or these ions are selectively selected. It is something to capture. In addition, since toxic metals and the like adsorbed on the solid phase adsorbent or these ions can be removed by an acid solution (for example, dilute nitric acid, dilute sulfuric acid), the solid phase adsorbent is regenerated and reused. Or it is easy to use repeatedly.

  In the soil purification system 1, the rinse water production | generation part 5 has the reverse osmosis membrane separation apparatus 110 (refer FIG. 7) so that it may demonstrate later. The reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 receives the mixed water discharged from the chelating agent regeneration unit 3 and separates it into permeated water and concentrated water by the reverse osmosis membrane.

It has the pump 112 and the pipe line 113 which supply (return) (refer FIG. 7).

  Hereinafter, the specific configuration and function of the soil washing classification unit 2 will be described with reference to FIG. In the soil washing and classifying unit 2, toxic metals or the like (toxic metals and / or compounds thereof) or soil (contaminated soil) collected by excavation of the ground contaminated with these ions is received by the input hopper 21. Then, the soil in the charging hopper 21 is introduced into the mixer 22 and mixed with the cleaning water containing the chelating agent in the mixer 22. Here, the soil includes gravel, sand, and fine-grained soil (for example, silt or clay having a particle size of 0.075 mm or less). In the mixer 22, harmful metals or the like adhering to the soil are separated from the soil and captured by the chelating agent.

  A mixture of soil and washing water generated by the mixer 22 (hereinafter referred to as “soil / washing water mixture”) is transferred to a wet mill breaker 23. As the mill breaker 23, for example, a rod mill can be used. The mill breaker 23 applies impact force, shear force, friction force, etc. to gravel or sand. At that time, harmful metals attached to or contained in gravel or sand are peeled off or removed and separated into the washing water. Hazardous metals and the like released from the soil surface or these ions are captured by the chelating agent in the wash water. The mixer 22 and the mill breaker 23 correspond to the mixing device 11 in FIG.

  Examples of the chelating agent include EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), HIDS (3-hydroxy-2,2′-iminodisuccinic acid), IDS (2,2′-iminodisuccinic acid), MGDA (methylglycine diacetic acid), EDDS ( Ethylenediaminediacetic acid) or sodium salt of GLDA (L-glutamic acid diacetic acid) can be used. The chelating agent captures (chelates) toxic metals or the like ions adhering to the soil. When treating the soil, a chelating agent suitable for the treatment is selected according to the type of harmful metal or the like contained in the soil. The higher the concentration of the chelating agent in the washing water, the higher the trapping amount of harmful metals or these ions, but practically the range of 0.005 to 0.1 mol / liter, preferably 0.01 to 0. .05 mol / liter is set.

  The soil / washing water mixture discharged from the mill breaker 23 is introduced into the trommel 24. Although not shown in detail, the trommel 24 is a wet sieving device having a receiving tank capable of storing cleaning water, and a substantially cylindrical drum screen arranged to be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane. The drum screen can be rotated around its central axis by a motor. Further, the cleaning water can be sprayed into the drum screen. The trommel 24 corresponds to the first classifying device 12 in FIG.

  When the mixture of soil and washing water flows through the rotating drum screen of the trommel 24, the soil particles finer than the mesh of the drum screen pass through the mesh of the drum screen together with the washing water, and go out of the drum screen to the receiving tank. Get inside. On the other hand, soil particles coarser than the mesh of the drum screen are discharged out of the drum screen via the opening end on the lower side of the drum screen. In the trommel 24, the soil particles in the soil / washing water mixture rub against each other, so that harmful metals remaining on and adhered to the surface of the soil particles are peeled off and separated into the washing water. Harmful metals and the like released from the wash water or these ions are captured by the chelating agent in the wash water.

  In this embodiment, the mesh diameter (opening) of the drum screen of the trommel 24 is set so that soil particles having a particle diameter of less than 2 mm pass through the mesh of the drum screen. Therefore, in the trommel 14, soil particles having a particle diameter of 2 mm or more, that is, gravel is separated or collected from the soil / wash water mixture. The gravel separated by the trommel 24 is transferred to the gravel rinsing device 16 (see FIGS. 1 and 4). Note that the mesh size (opening) of the drum screen of the trommel 24 is not limited to the above, and is arbitrarily set according to the particle size of the relatively large particle of the particle to be obtained. be able to.

  A soil / washing water mixture containing soil particles having a particle size of less than 2 mm and washing water contained in a receiving tank of the trommel 24 is introduced into a cyclone 25 (liquid cyclone). The cyclone 25 is a mixture of soil and washing water, a fine soil having a relatively small particle size (for example, less than 0.075 mm) and washing water, and a soil particle having a relatively large particle size (for example, 0.075 mm or more). To separate. A mixture of fine-grained soil and washing water (hereinafter referred to as “fine-grained soil-containing water”) is discharged from the upper end of the cyclone 25, and soil particles having a relatively large particle size are discharged from the lower end of the cyclone 25. . The fine-grained soil contained in the fine-grained soil-containing water is, for example, silt or clay having a particle diameter of less than 0.075 mm. The cyclone 25 corresponds to the second classifier 13 in FIG.

  On the other hand, soil particles having a relatively large particle size discharged from the lower end of the cyclone 25 are introduced into a sand clean 26 (rinse washing device). The soil particle having a relatively large particle size is, for example, sand having a particle size of 0.075 to 2 mm. The sand clean 26 causes the washing water to flow at a predetermined pressure and an amount of water to perform a rinsing washing process on soil particles having a relatively large particle size, that is, sand, and remove remaining floating matters or foreign matters. The soil particles, that is, the sand having a relatively large particle size subjected to the rinsing treatment, are transferred to the sand rinsing device 17 (see FIGS. 1 and 5), and the attached chelating agent is removed. This sand is used or sold as recycled sand.

  The fine-grained soil-containing water discharged from the cyclone 25 is introduced into the PH adjustment tank 27. Further, the washing water discharged from the sand clean 26 is also introduced into the PH adjustment tank 27 and mixed with the fine-grained soil-containing water. In the pH adjusting tank 27, the pH (hydrogen index) of the fine-grained soil-containing water uses a pH adjusting agent such as an acidic liquid (for example, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.) and an alkaline liquid (for example, an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution). Thus, the pH is adjusted to be almost neutral or a predetermined pH (for example, pH 7 to 8).

  The fine-soil-containing water whose pH has been adjusted in the pH adjustment tank 27 is introduced into the aggregation tank 28. In the agglomeration tank 28, a polyaluminum chloride liquid (PAC), a polymer flocculant, and a pH adjuster (an acidic liquid or an alkaline liquid) are added to fine-grained soil-containing water. As a result, a large number of flocs in which water-insoluble metal hydroxide and fine-grained soil are mixed are generated in the aggregation tank 28. At that time, water-polluting substances in the washing water are adsorbed on or attached to the floc. The polyaluminum chloride liquid and the polymer flocculant may be added to the fine-grained soil-containing water by the PH adjustment 27 instead of the flocculation tank 28.

  The fine-soil-containing water in the agglomeration tank 28 is introduced into the thickener 30 after the suspended matter is removed by the suspended matter collection device 29. The thickener 30 sinks water-insoluble flock or fine-grained soil by gravity in a state where the fine-grained soil-containing water is almost stationary, and has a sludge layer (solid content ratio: 5 to 10%) located at the bottom. It forms a supernatant water (wash water) which is located in the upper part and hardly contains flock or fine-grained soil. The floating oil floating on the surface of the supernatant water is removed by overflowing a small amount of the supernatant water from the upper part of the thickener 30. The thickener 30 corresponds to the sedimentation separator 14 in FIG.

  Sludge staying or precipitating in the lower portion of the thickener 30 is pulled out by a sludge pump or the like, transferred to the intermediate tank 31, and temporarily stored in the intermediate tank 31. The sludge in the intermediate tank 31 is transferred to the filter press 32 intermittently or continuously. The filter press 32 pressure-filters the sludge received from the intermediate tank 31, and produces | generates a filter cake and a filtrate. The filtration pressure of the filter press 32 is set so that the moisture content of the filter cake is 30 to 40%, for example. The filtrate of the filter press 32 is returned to the thickener 30. The filter cake or fine soil discharged from the filter press 32 is transferred to the fine soil rinsing apparatus 18 (see FIGS. 1 and 6), and the adhering chelating agent is removed. The filter press 32 corresponds to the filtration device 15 in FIG.

  On the other hand, the supernatant water (wash water) in the thickener 30 is introduced into the wash water tank 33 and stored. When the washing water tank 33 is full, the spare water tank 34 is used. The cleaning water stored in the cleaning water tank 33 is mixed with the cleaning waste water in the mixing unit 7 (see FIG. 1) and then introduced into the chelating agent regeneration unit 3 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). When the cleaning water stored in the cleaning water tank 33 decreases due to evaporation or the like, the cleaning water tank 33 is appropriately replenished with tap water, industrial water or the like.

  Hereinafter, specific configurations and functions of the mixing unit 7 and the chelating agent regeneration unit 3 will be described with reference to FIG. The mixing unit 7 has a mixing tank 42. The mixing tank 42 includes cleaning water discharged from the cleaning water tank 33 (see FIG. 2) and cleaning waste water discharged from the chelating agent recovery unit 4 (see FIG. 1). And are mixed almost completely to produce mixed water.

  The chelating agent regeneration unit 3 regenerates the chelating agent as a means for regenerating the chelating agent, in which a solid column adsorbent particle or a packed column (packing) in which the solid adsorbent is fixed is packed. A device 41 is provided. In addition, the chelating agent regeneration unit 3 includes a mixed water tank 43 that temporarily stores the mixed water in which the chelating agent has been regenerated, an acid liquid storage tank 44 that stores an acid liquid, and a water storage tank 45 that stores water. It has been.

  Then, when regenerating the chelating agent, the mixed water stored in the mixing tank 42 is transferred to the chelating agent regenerating apparatus 41, while the mixed water in which the chelating agent is regenerated by the chelating agent regenerating apparatus 41 is transferred to the mixing water tank 43. A pump 46 and a series of a plurality of pipes 47 to 50 are provided. In addition, a pump 51 and a pipe line 52 are provided to supply the mixed water stored in the mixed water tank 43 to the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 (see FIG. 7), which is a component of the rinse water generator 5. Yes.

  Further, the chelating agent regeneration unit 3 transfers the acid solution stored in the acid solution storage tank 44 to the chelating agent regeneration device 41 when the solid-phase adsorbent is regenerated, while the acid discharged from the chelating agent regeneration device 41. A pump 53 and a plurality of pipes 54 and 55 for returning the liquid to the acid liquid storage tank 44 are provided. The chelating agent regeneration unit 3 transfers water stored in the water storage tank 45 to the chelating agent regeneration device 41 when the solid phase adsorbent regenerated with the acid solution is washed with water. A pump 56 and a plurality of pipes 57 and 58 for returning the water discharged from the water storage tank 45 are provided.

  Valves 61, 62, 63, and 64 for opening and closing the corresponding pipelines are provided in the pipelines 47, 48, 54, and 57 for transferring the mixed water, acid solution, or water to the chelating agent regeneration device 41, respectively. Has been. On the other hand, valves 49, 50, 55, and 58 for discharging mixed water, acid solution, or water from the chelating agent regeneration device 41 have valves 65, 66, 67, and 68 for opening and closing the corresponding pipe lines, respectively. It is installed. By switching the open / closed state of these valves 61 to 68, either the mixed water, the acid solution or the water can be supplied / discharged to / from the chelate regeneration device 41. Note that the opening and closing of these valves 61 to 68 are automatically controlled by a controller (not shown).

  Hereinafter, an example of the operation method of the chelating agent regeneration unit 3 will be described. In addition, the driving | operation method demonstrated below is a mere illustration, and of course, the driving | running method of the chelating agent reproduction | regeneration part 3 which concerns on this invention is not limited to the following. When the chelating agent is regenerated, the valves 61, 62, 65, 66 provided in the pipes 47-50 are opened, while the other valves 63, 64, 67, 68 are closed, and the pump 46 is operated. Is done. Thereby, the mixed water in the mixing tank 42 flows through the chelating agent regeneration device 41 and is transferred to the mixed water tank 43.

  Thus, in the chelating agent regenerator 41, the mixed water containing the chelating agent capturing toxic metals and the like is brought into contact with the solid phase adsorbent (solid phase adsorbent particles) having a higher complexing power than the chelating agent. As a result, harmful metals and the like captured by the chelating agent are separated from the chelating agent and adsorbed or extracted by the solid phase adsorbent. Thereby, while harmful metals etc. are removed and collect | recovered from mixed water, a chelating agent will be in the state which can capture | acquire harmful metals etc. again.

  A solid-phase adsorbent having a higher complexing power than a chelating agent is a solid material such as a gel, and is generally coordinated with a chelating agent when contacted with an aqueous solution containing a chelating agent capturing a metal. It has a strong binding force other than a covalent bond to such an extent that the metal ions can be detached from the chelating agent and transferred to the solid phase adsorbent. Examples of such a solid-phase adsorbent include a material in which a cyclic molecule is densely supported on a carrier such as silica gel or a resin and a chelate ligand is modified on the cyclic molecule. When such a solid-phase adsorbent is used, a plurality of various bonds and interactions such as coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds occur due to adjacent cyclic molecules and chelate ligands, resulting in multipoint interactions, and metal ions In contrast to this, a chemical bond stronger than that of a chelating agent is generated, and metal ions can be selectively taken in by the properties of the cyclic molecule.

  As the chelating agent is regenerated, the amount of adsorption of toxic metals and the like in the solid phase adsorbent increases with time, but there is an upper limit on the adsorption capacity of the solid phase adsorbent. For this reason, the solid phase adsorbent is regenerated when the amount of adsorption of harmful metals or the like in the solid phase adsorbent reaches a saturated state or the vicinity thereof. That is, an acid solution (for example, dilute nitric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, etc.) is allowed to flow through the chelating agent regenerator 41 with the mixed water removed, and harmful metals adsorbed on the solid-phase adsorbent are removed with the acid solution. Regenerate the solid-phase adsorbent. Thus, while the toxic metal and the like are recovered by the acid solution, the solid phase adsorbent is regenerated and becomes capable of adsorbing or extracting the toxic metal and the like or these ions again. The solid phase adsorbent is regenerated with an acid solution and then washed with water to remove a small amount of acid solution adhering to the solid phase adsorbent.

  When the amount of adsorption of toxic metal or the like of the solid phase adsorbent in the chelating agent regenerator 41 reaches a saturated state or in the vicinity thereof and the solid phase adsorbent is regenerated with an acid solution, the pipelines 54, 48, 49, 55 The valves 63, 62, 65, and 67 interposed in are opened, while the other valves 61, 64, 66, and 68 are closed, and the pump 53 is operated. As a result, the acid solution in the acid solution storage tank 44 flows through the chelating agent regenerator 41 and returns to the acid solution storage tank 44. Before starting the regeneration operation of the solid-phase adsorbent, the mixed water in the chelating agent regeneration device 41 is removed. If a plurality of chelating agent regeneration devices 41 are arranged in parallel, the chelating agent can be continuously regenerated even when the supply of mixed water to some of the chelating agent regeneration devices 41 is stopped. . Whether or not the amount of harmful metal adsorption of the solid-phase adsorbent reaches a saturated state or in the vicinity thereof can be determined by detecting the content of harmful metal or the like in the mixed water discharged from the chelating agent regeneration device 41. it can.

  The time for which the acid solution is allowed to flow in the chelating agent regenerator 41 is preferably set according to the size or shape of the chelating agent regenerator 41, the size of the solid-phase adsorbent particles, and the like. The acid solution circulates between the acid solution storage tank 44 and the chelating agent regeneration device 41 and flows. At that time, the solid phase adsorbent in the chelating agent regenerating apparatus 41 comes into contact with the acid solution, and harmful metals and the like adsorbed on the solid phase adsorbent are separated into the acid solution. That is, while the harmful metal and the like are recovered by the acid solution, the solid-phase adsorbent is regenerated to be able to adsorb the harmful metal and the like again.

  When the solid-phase adsorbent is washed with water after the regeneration of the solid-phase adsorbent with the acid solution, the valves 64, 62, 65, 68 provided in the pipes 57, 48, 49, 58 are opened. The other valves 61, 63, 66 and 67 are closed, and the pump 56 is operated. As a result, the water in the water storage tank 45 flows through the chelating agent regeneration device 41 and returns to the water storage tank 45. Before starting the washing operation of such a solid-phase adsorbent, the acid solution in the chelating agent regenerator 41 is removed. Water circulates between the water storage tank 45 and the chelating agent regeneration device 41 and flows. At that time, the solid phase adsorbent in the chelating agent regeneration device 41 comes into contact with water, and the acid solution adhering to the solid phase adsorbent is washed. Thereafter, the regeneration of the chelating agent is resumed.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration and function of the chelating agent recovery unit 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.
As shown in FIG. 4, the gravel rinsing device 16 that forms a part of the chelating agent recovery unit 4 includes a belt conveyor 74, a gravel supply device 75, a rinse water spraying device 76, and a washing waste water receiving tank 77. .

  The belt conveyor 74 is a substantially cylindrical drive roller 78 coaxially attached to a shaft 78a that is rotationally driven by an electric motor (not shown), and a substantially coaxially attached shaft 79a that is not connected to a drive source. A cylindrical driven roller 79, a ring-shaped or endless conveying belt 80 wound around the driving roller 78 and the driven roller 79, a number of supporting rollers 81 for supporting or guiding the conveying belt 80, and a belt conveyor And a guide plate 82 for guiding the gravel discharged from 74. The gravel rinsing device 16 scatters or jets rinse water on the gravel discharged from the trommel 24 (see FIG. 2) that forms part of the soil washing classifying unit 2, and is held or attached to the gravel. Rinse and remove.

  The driving roller 78 and the driven roller 79 have the same diameter and are arranged at the same height. The conveyor belt 80 is formed of a porous material, mesh material, fibrous material, or cloth material that can be curved in a ring shape that allows rinsing water to pass but not gravel. The rinse water spraying device 76 sprays rinse water on the gravel transported by the transport belt 80 in an area having a predetermined length (for example, 1 to 2 m) in the moving direction of the transport belt 80. The amount of rinse water sprayed from the rinse water spray device 76 is preferably set so that almost all of the wash water adhering to the gravel can be washed away. For example, two to three times as much rinse water as the amount of washing water adhering to the gravel is sprayed. As a specific example, for example, when transporting gravel having a water content ratio of 15% at 20 tons per hour (dry basis), 6 to 9 tons of rinse water is sprayed per hour.

  The gravel supply device 75 supplies gravel discharged from the trommel 24 (see FIG. 2) onto the conveyor belt 80 in the vicinity of the driven roller 79 at a predetermined flow rate. The gravel supplied in this way is transported by the transport belt 80, falls downward via the guide plate 82 at a position corresponding to the drive roller 78, and is stored in a gravel storage (not shown). Rinsing water is sprayed from the rinse water spraying device 76 to the gravel transported by the transport belt 80, and the rinse water moves downward through the gaps between the gravel particles and passes through the transport belt 80 to be washed waste water receiving tank. Flow down to 77.

  At that time, the washing water containing the chelating agent adhering to the gravel is washed downward by the rinse water and falls or flows into the washing waste water receiving tank 77, but a part of the rinse water is held in the gap between the gravel particles. The That is, the washing water containing the chelating agent held or attached to the gravel is replaced with rinsing water that does not contain the chelating agent. That is, the chelating agent contained in or adhering to the gravel is washed away by the rinse water and accommodated in the washing waste water receiving tank 77 together with a part of the rinse water. The cleaning wastewater containing the chelating agent accommodated in the cleaning wastewater receiving tank 77 is introduced into the cleaning wastewater tank 83 (see FIG. 7). Thus, clean gravel containing little chelating agent and contaminants is stored in the gravel storage (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 5, the sand rinsing device 17 that forms part of the chelating agent recovery unit 4 includes a belt conveyor 84, a sand supply device 85, a rinsing water spray device 86, and a cleaning waste water receiving tank 87. . Here, the belt conveyor 84 is coaxially attached to a substantially cylindrical drive roller 88 that is coaxially attached to a shaft 88a that is rotationally driven by an electric motor (not shown), and a shaft 89a that is not connected to a drive source. A substantially cylindrical driven roller 89, a ring-shaped or endless conveying belt 90 wound around the driving roller 88 and the driven roller 89, and a number of supporting rollers 91 that support or guide the conveying belt 90. And a guide plate 92 for guiding the sand discharged from the belt conveyor 84. The sand rinsing device 17 sprays or sprays rinsing water on the sand discharged from the sand clean 26 (see FIG. 2) forming a part of the soil washing classifying unit 2, and is held or adhered to the sand. Wash away the chelating agent.

  The driving roller 88 and the driven roller 89 have the same diameter and are disposed at the same height. The conveyor belt 90 is formed of a porous material, mesh material, fibrous material, or cloth-like material that can be curved in a ring shape that allows rinsing water to pass but not sand particles. The rinse water spraying device 86 sprays rinse water on the sand transported by the transport belt 90 in an area having a predetermined length (for example, 1 to 2 m) in the moving direction of the transport belt 90. The amount of rinse water sprayed from the rinse water spray device 86 is preferably set so that almost all of the wash water adhering to the sand can be washed away. For example, two to three times as much rinse water as the amount of washing water adhering to the sand is sprayed. As a specific example, for example, when sand having a water content of 20% is transported at 35 tons (dry basis) per hour, 14 to 21 tons of rinse water is sprinkled per hour.

  The sand supply device 85 supplies the sand discharged from the sand clean 26 onto the transport belt 90 in the vicinity of the driven roller 89 at a predetermined flow rate. The sand thus supplied is conveyed by the conveying belt 90, falls downward through the guide plate 92 at a position corresponding to the driving roller 88, and is stored in a sand storage (not shown). Rinsing water is sprayed from the rinsing water spraying device 86 onto the sand transported by the transport belt 90, and the rinsing water moves downward through the gaps between the sand particles, passes through the transport belt 90, and is a washing waste water receiving tank. Flow down to 87.

  At that time, the washing water containing the chelating agent adhering to the sand is washed down by the rinsing water and falls or flows into the washing waste water receiving tank 87, but a part of the rinsing water is held in the gap between the sand particles. The That is, the washing water containing the chelating agent held or adhered to the sand is replaced with rinsing water not containing the chelating agent. That is, the chelating agent contained in or adhering to the sand is washed away by the rinse water and accommodated in the washing waste water receiving tank 87 together with a part of the rinse water. The cleaning wastewater containing the chelating agent accommodated in the cleaning wastewater receiving tank 87 is introduced into the cleaning wastewater tank 83 (see FIG. 7). Thus, a sand storage (not shown) stores clean sand that is substantially free of chelating agents and contaminants.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the fine-grain soil rinsing device 18 that forms a part of the chelating agent recovery unit 4 includes a pulverizer 93 and a pulverized soil cleaner 94. The crusher 93 crushes the filter cake (fine-grained soil) discharged from the filter press 32 (see FIG. 2) to generate granular or powdery crushed soil (fine-grained soil). The crushed soil washing machine 94 sprays or jets rinsing water on the crushed soil generated by the pulverizer 93 to remove and recover the chelating agent held in the crushed soil.

  The crusher 93 breaks the filter cake discharged from the filter press 32 (see FIG. 2) into a large number of filter cake pieces having a particle diameter of, for example, several mm (for example, 1 to 3 mm) by a blade 95 that rotates at high speed. Crush. As the crusher 93 for crushing the filter cake in this way, for example, a “dehydrated cake crusher” related to Taiheiyo Kiko Co., Ltd. it can.

  The crushed soil washing machine 94 includes a belt conveyor 96, a crushed soil receiving unit 97, a rinse water spraying device 98, and a washing waste water receiving tank 99. Here, the belt conveyor 96 is coaxially attached to a substantially cylindrical drive roller 100 that is coaxially attached to a shaft 100a that is rotationally driven by an electric motor (not shown), and a shaft 101a that is not connected to a drive source. A substantially cylindrical driven roller 101, a ring-shaped or endless conveying belt 102 wound around the driving roller 100 and the driven roller 101, and a number of supporting rollers 103 that support or guide the conveying belt 102. , And a guide plate 104 for guiding the crushed soil discharged from the belt conveyor 96.

  The driving roller 100 and the driven roller 101 have the same diameter and are arranged at the same height. The conveyor belt 102 is formed of a porous material, mesh material, fibrous material, or cloth material that can be curved in a ring shape that allows rinsing water to pass but does not allow pulverized soil particles to pass through. The rinsing water spraying device 98 sprays rinsing water onto the crushed soil transported by the transport belt 102 in an area having a predetermined length (for example, 1 to 2 m) with respect to the moving direction of the transport belt 102. The amount of rinse water sprayed from the rinse water spray device 98 is preferably set so that almost all of the wash water adhering to the crushed soil can be washed away. For example, two to three times as much rinse water as the amount of washing water adhering to the crushed soil is sprayed. As a specific example, for example, when transporting crushed soil having a water content ratio of 40% at 25 tons per hour (dry basis), 20 to 30 tons of rinse water is sprinkled per hour.

  The crushed soil receiving unit 97 supplies the crushed soil discharged from the pulverizer 93 onto the conveying belt 102 in the vicinity of the driven roller 101 at a predetermined flow rate. The crushed soil supplied in this way is transported by the transport belt 102, falls downward via the guide plate 104 at a position corresponding to the driving roller 100, and is stored in a fine grain soil storage (not shown). The Rinse water is sprayed from the rinse water spraying device 98 to the crushed soil transported by the transport belt 102, and the rinse water moves downward through the gaps between the particles of the crushed soil and passes through the transport belt 102 for cleaning. It flows down to the waste water receiving tank 99.

  At that time, the washing water containing the chelating agent adhering to the crushed soil is washed downward by the rinse water and flows down to the washing waste water receiving tank 99. Here, a part of rinse water is hold | maintained in the clearance gap between the particles of crushed soil. That is, the washing water containing the chelating agent held or attached to the crushed soil is replaced with rinsing water. That is, the chelating agent contained in or adhering to the crushed soil is washed away by the rinse water and accommodated in the washing waste water receiving tank 99 together with the rinse water (part). The cleaning wastewater containing the chelating agent accommodated in the cleaning wastewater receiving tank 99 is introduced into the cleaning wastewater tank 83 (see FIG. 7). Thus, a fine soil containing no chelating agent is stored in a fine soil reservoir (not shown).

  Hereinafter, the structure and function of the rinse water production | generation part 5 and the washing water supply part 8 are demonstrated, referring FIG. The rinse water generator 5 has a reverse osmosis membrane separator 110. Mixed water in the mixed water tank 43 is introduced into the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 by a pump 51 and a pipe line 52. In this embodiment, the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 receives all the mixed water discharged from the chelating agent regeneration unit 3. The reverse osmosis membrane separator 110 pressurizes the introduced mixed water with an attached high-pressure pump (not shown) (for example, 0.5 to 1.5 MPa), and the chelating agent is concentrated by the reverse osmosis membrane. The concentrated water thus produced and the permeated water containing no chelating agent are generated (separated). Then, the concentrated water is introduced into the storage tank 111 forming a part of the washing water supply unit 8 via the pipe line 109.

  On the other hand, the permeated water discharged from the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 is supplied to the chelating agent recovery unit 4 as rinse water. Specifically, the permeated water is not shown in detail, but through a pump and a pipe, a rinse water spraying device 76 of the gravel rinsing device 16, a rinse water spraying device 86 of the sand rinsing device 17, and fine granules It is supplied as rinse water to the rinse water spraying device 98 of the soil rinse device 18 (see FIGS. 4 to 6). The cleaning wastewater discharged from the chelating agent recovery unit 4 is introduced into the cleaning wastewater tank 83 and temporarily stored. Then, the cleaning wastewater in the cleaning wastewater tank 83 is transferred to the mixing tank 42 (see FIG. 3) by the pump 116 and the pipe line 117. In the chelating agent recovery unit 4, gravel, sand, or fine-grained soil is washed with 2 to 3 times the rinse water that is attached to or retained by the washing water. It is considerably lower than the chelating agent concentration in water (approximately 1/2 to 1/3).

In the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110, the concentration of the chelating agent of the concentrated water with respect to the mixed water is determined based on the flow rate of the mixed water supplied to the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 and the permeated water generated by the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 ( Or the flow rate of concentrated water). For example, when the flow rate of the mixed water is 510 m ³ / hr and the flow rate of the permeated water is 60 m ³ / hr (the flow rate of the concentrated water is 450 m ³ / hr) (see FIG. 9), the chelating agent of the concentrated water is concentrated. The degree is 1.13 times (510/450 = 1.13). Thus, since the concentration degree of the chelating agent of concentrated water is very small, the water permeation rate of a reverse osmosis membrane becomes comparatively large. For this reason, the area of a reverse osmosis membrane can be made comparatively small, or the supply pressure of mixed water can be made comparatively low.

  The reverse osmosis membrane of the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 is, for example, a three-layer structure in which a polysulfone support layer and a crosslinked aromatic polyamide dense layer are laminated on the surface of a polyester nonwoven fabric (thickness: 100 to 120 μm). Can be used. The dense cross-linked aromatic polyamide layer has a large number of pores having a pore diameter of about 0.5 to 1.5 nm, and is very thin (for example, 0.2 to 0.25 μm) a semipermeable membrane. The polysulfone support layer is a relatively thick (for example, 40 to 50 μm) porous membrane for supporting or protecting a very thin crosslinked aromatic polyamide dense layer to prevent breakage thereof.

The reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 is of a spiral type and has a plurality of reverse osmosis membrane elements in which a reverse osmosis membrane wound in a spiral shape is accommodated in a cylindrical container. It is practical that each reverse osmosis membrane element has, for example, a total length of about 1 to 2 m and an outer diameter of about 0.2 to 0.4 m. For example, the effective membrane area of a reverse osmosis membrane in a commercially available reverse osmosis membrane element of this type having a total length of about 1 m and an outer diameter of about 0.2 m (for example, manufactured by Authentec Co., Ltd., Nakatsugawa, Gifu Prefecture) is About 40 m ² . In the case of this reverse osmosis membrane element, permeation when the concentration of the chelating agent of the concentrated water is set to 1.1 to 1.2 by supplying washing water having a chelating agent concentration of about 1 mass% at a pressure of about 1 MPa. The amount of water produced is estimated at about 1.5 m ³ / hr. Therefore, for example, when generating permeated water of 60 m ³ per hour under the above conditions, 40 reverse osmosis membrane elements may be connected in parallel. When reverse osmosis membrane elements are arranged horizontally in multiple stages (for example, 8 rows and 5 stages), the area of the site required for the installation is about 10 to 20 m ² .

  The concentrated water discharged from the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 is introduced as washing water into the storage tank 111 via the pipe line 109. The washing water in the storage tank 111 is supplied (returned) to the mixer 22, the trommel 24, and the sand clean 26 that constitute the soil washing classification unit 2 by the pump 112 and the pipe line 113 that constitute the washing water supply unit 8. ) When it is necessary to increase the chelating agent concentration of the cleaning water for some reason, the chelating agent is supplied (supplemented) from the chelating agent supplementing unit 6 to the storage tank 111.

  Then, the cleaning wastewater containing the chelating agent generated by cleaning the gravel, sand and / or fine-grained soil in the chelating agent recovery unit 4 passes through the mixing tank 42 and the chelating agent regeneration unit 3 (chelating agent regeneration device 41). And introduced into the reverse osmosis membrane separator 110. For this reason, the chelating agent in the washing wastewater is finally returned to the soil washing classification unit 2 along with the concentrated water or washing water, and is not discharged outside the soil purification system. Therefore, the loss of the chelating agent outside the soil purification system is reliably prevented. Further, as described above, since the concentration of the chelating agent of the concentrated water with respect to the mixed water is very small, the water permeation rate of the reverse osmosis membrane becomes relatively large, and the discharge pressure of the high pressure pump of the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110 correspondingly. Or the total surface area of the reverse osmosis membrane can be reduced. The installation of the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110, the mixing tank 42, the storage tank 111, etc. does not require a very large site.

  As described above, the soil purification system 1 is a completely closed system that circulates and uses wash water and does not discharge waste water outside the soil purification system. Moreover, in the soil purification system 1, the chelating agent contained in the washing water is not discharged outside the soil purification system but is repeatedly used while being regenerated. For this reason, the running cost of the soil purification system 1 can be made very low.

In FIG. 8, the soil at the main point of the soil purification system 1 when the soil cleaning classification unit 2 cleans and classifies 100 tons of soil per hour with, for example, cleaning water containing 1.0% by mass of a chelating agent. An example of the flow rates of water and chelating agent is shown. In this example, the total flow of washing water supplied to the soil washing classifying unit 2 is 450 m ³ / hr, and 100 tons of soil is 20 tons of gravel, 35 tons of sand, and 25 tons of fine-grained soil. And 20 tons of water, the water content is 25%. The water content of gravel discharged from the trommel 24 is 15%, the water content of sand discharged from the sand clean 26 is 20%, and the fine-grained soil (filter cake) discharged from the filter press 32 is The water content is 40%. As is apparent from FIG. 8, in this example, 0.2 ton of chelating agent per hour is taken away from the soil washing classification unit 2 by gravel, sand and fine-grained soil. However, these chelating agents are recovered by the chelating agent recovery unit 4, the mixing unit 7, the chelating agent regeneration unit 3, the rinse water generation unit 5 (reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110), and the washing water supply unit 8. Is returned to the soil cleaning classifying unit 2 and is not discharged outside the soil purification system.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the flow rate and chelating agent concentration of the cleaning water, mixed water, rinsing water, cleaning waste water, chelating agent, etc. in the chelating agent recovery unit 4 and the rinsing water generation unit 5 in the case of FIG. In this example, 60 m ³ / hr permeated water is generated from the mixed water supplied at 510 m ³ / hr with a pressure of about 1 MPa. The total effective membrane area of the reverse osmosis membrane of the reverse osmosis membrane separator 110 is about 1600 m ² . Therefore, for example, 40 reverse osmosis membrane elements (length of about 1 m, outer diameter of about 0.2 m) having an effective membrane area of each reverse osmosis membrane of about 40 m ² may be connected in parallel. As is clear from FIG. 9, all of the chelating agent (0.2 tons per hour) removed from the soil washing classification unit 2 by gravel, sand, and fine-grained soil is returned to the soil washing classification unit 2.

  As mentioned above, according to the soil purification system 1 which concerns on this invention, the gravel, sand, and / or fine-grained soil discharged | emitted from the soil washing classification | category part 2 are the permeated water of the reverse osmosis membrane separation apparatus 110 in the chelating agent collection | recovery part 4 ( Rinsing water) removes the chelating agent adhering to the gravel, sand and / or fine-grained soil. Therefore, high-quality gravel, sand and / or fine-grained soil containing no chelating agent can be obtained. And since the washing waste water containing the chelating agent produced by washing the gravel, sand and / or fine-grained soil in the chelating agent recovery unit 4 is not discharged outside the soil purification system, it is possible to reliably prevent the chelating agent from being lost. it can.

  On the other hand, the installation areas of the reverse osmosis membrane separation device 110, the mixing tank 42, the storage tank 111 and the like are very small. Therefore, a very large site is not required for the installation of the chelating agent recovery facility. Therefore, the chelating agent can be prevented from being taken out of the soil purification system by gravel, sand and / or fine-grained soil, and the site area of the facility for recovering the chelating agent can be extremely reduced.
