Abstract

A desulfurization wastewater zero discharge treatment method and system suitable for multiple working conditions. A tail flue of a boiler and a bottom outlet of a wastewater drying tower are both communicated with an inlet of a dust collector; an outlet of the dust collector is communicated with flue gas inlets of a wastewater concentration tower and a desulfurization absorption tower; the wastewater concentration tower is communicated with the desulfurization absorption tower; the desulfurization absorption tower is communicated with a chimney; the desulfurization absorption tower is communicated with a gypsum cyclone; the gypsum cyclone is communicated with a filtrate water tank; the gypsum cyclone is communicated with a gypsum dewatering machine; the gypsum dewatering machine is communicated with a gas liquid separating tank; and a flue gas port of the tail flue of the boiler is communicated with the flue gas inlet of the wastewater drying tower.

Claims (11)

1. A method for zero discharge treatment of desulfurization wastewater suitable for multiple working conditions, comprising following steps:

recovering heat from high-temperature flue gas generated by a boiler ( 1 ) through an economizer ( 2 ) and an air preheater ( 3 ), feeding the high-temperature flue gas into a dust collector ( 4 ) for dust removing, then flowing the high-temperature flue gas into a desulfurization absorption tower ( 6 ) to remove acidic pollutants, and discharging the high-temperature flue gas through a chimney ( 7 ); separating a gypsum slurry generated by the desulfurization absorption tower ( 6 ) in a gypsum cyclone ( 9 ), wherein a separated overflow slurry is fed into a filtrate water tank ( 13 ) by the gypsum cyclone ( 9 ), and a separated underflow slurry enters a gypsum dehydrator ( 10 ) for dehydration by the gypsum cyclone ( 9 ); and filtering, by a filter cloth of the dehydrator, a water from the separated underflow slurry in the gypsum dehydrator ( 10 ), and feeding the filtered water into a gas-liquid separation tank ( 11 ) for gas-liquid separation, wherein a separated drainage water is fed into a wastewater collection tank ( 15 ) by the gypsum dehydrator ( 10 );

under a condition that a concentration of HCl in the high-temperature flue gas is less than a preset HCl concentration value, when an amount of a drainage water currently output by the gas-liquid separation tank ( 11 ) is greater than an amount of the desulfurization wastewater required to be discharged, dividing a drainage water collected by the wastewater collection tank ( 15 ) into two paths, wherein one path of the drainage water passes through the filtrate water tank ( 13 ) and enters the desulfurization absorption tower ( 6 ), and the other path of the drainage water is fed into a wastewater drying tower ( 27 ) through a spray water tank ( 25 ); at the same time, pumping, by a flue gas port, the high-temperature flue gas to the wastewater drying tower ( 27 ) for steam drying treatment, evaporating a water in the drainage water into the high-temperature flue gas, and directing the high-temperature flue gas output from the wastewater drying tower ( 27 ) to the dust collector ( 4 ) for dust removal;

under conditions that the concentration of HCl in the high-temperature flue gas is greater than or equal to the preset HCl concentration value, and a concentration ratio of SO 2 to HCl in the high-temperature flue gas is greater than or equal to a preset ratio, when the amount of the drainage water currently output by the gas-liquid separation tank ( 11 ) is greater than or equal to the amount of the desulfurization wastewater required to be discharged, feeding part of the drainage water in the wastewater collection tank ( 15 ) into a wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ), feeding a remaining wastewater in the wastewater collection tank ( 15 ) into the filtrate water tank ( 13 ) and then into the desulfurization absorption tower ( 6 ); at the same time, directing a path of the high-temperature flue gas output from the dust collector ( 4 ) to the wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ) for countercurrent contact with a desulfurization wastewater in the wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ) to reduce the desulfurization wastewater in the wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ) and increase solid content thereof; treating the high-temperature flue gas in the wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ) through a mist eliminator ( 19 ) before entering the desulfurization absorption tower ( 6 ), and feeding a slurry at a bottom of the wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ) into a thick slurry tank ( 22 ), feeding a slurry in the thick slurry tank ( 22 ) into the spray water tank ( 25 ) after being clarified by a clarifier ( 24 ) and then feeding a slurry in the spray water tank ( 25 ) to the wastewater drying tower ( 27 ) for evaporation and drying treatment; and

under conditions that the concentration of HCl in the high-temperature flue gas is greater than or equal to the preset HCl concentration value, and the concentration ratio of SO 2 to HCl in the high-temperature flue gas is less than the preset ratio, when the amount of the drainage water currently output from the gas-liquid separation tank ( 11 ) is less than the amount of the desulfurization wastewater required to be discharged, transporting all the drainage water in the wastewater collection tank ( 15 ) to the wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ), and then feeding part of the separated overflow slurry from the filtrate water tank ( 13 ) into the thick slurry tank ( 20 ); evaporating, reducing, and concentrating two parts of the slurry in the wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ), and then directing the two parts of the slurry to the clarifier ( 24 ); sending a supernatant from the clarifier ( 24 ) to the spray water tank ( 25 ), and then to the wastewater drying tower ( 27 ) for evaporation and drying.

2. The method for zero discharge treatment of desulfurization wastewater suitable for multiple working conditions according to claim 1 , wherein the preset HCl concentration value is 7-13 ppm.

3. The method for zero discharge treatment of desulfurization wastewater suitable for multiple working conditions according to claim 1 , wherein a preset ratio of the concentration ratio of SO 2 to HCl in the high-temperature flue gas is 20-30.

4. The method for zero discharge treatment of desulfurization wastewater suitable for multiple working conditions according to claim 1 , wherein the high-temperature flue gas pumped by a flue gas port is taken after the economizer ( 2 ) and before the air preheater ( 3 ).

5. The method for zero discharge treatment of desulfurization wastewater suitable for multiple working conditions according to claim 1 , wherein salts formed by the evaporation of the wastewater in the wastewater drying tower ( 27 ) enter the dust collector ( 4 ) with the high-temperature flue gas and are collected.

6. The method for zero discharge treatment of desulfurization wastewater suitable for multiple working conditions according to claim 1 , wherein the drainage water in the wastewater collection tank ( 15 ) enters the wastewater concentration tower ( 18 ) as washing water of the mist eliminator ( 19 ).

7. The method for zero discharge treatment of desulfurization wastewater suitable for multiple working conditions according to claim 1 , wherein the desulfurization wastewater required to be discharged is clarified and tempered in the clarifier ( 24 ).
