Acid precipitation coupled Electrodialysis to improve separation of chloride and organics in pulping crystallization mother liquor

Add time:08/17/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Inefficient separation of inorganic salts and organic matters in crystallization mother liquor is still a problem to industrial wastewater treatment since the high salinity significantly impedes organic pollutants degradation by oxidation or incineration. In the study, acidification combined electrodialysis (ED) was attempted to effectively separate Cl− ions from organics in concentrate pulping wastewater. Membrane's rejection rate to total organic carbon (TOC) was 85% at wastewater intrinsic pH = 9.8 and enhanced to 93% by acidifying it to pH = 2 in ED process. Negative-charged alkaline organic compounds (mainly lignin) could be liberated from their sodium salt forms and coagulated in acidification pretreatment. Neutralization of the organic substances also made their electro-migration less effective under electric driving force and in particular improved separation efficiency of chloride and organics. After acid-ED coupled treatment (pH = 2 and J = 40 mA/cm2) [TOC] remarkably reduced from 1.315 g/L to 0.048 g/L and [Cl−] accumulated to 130 g/L in concentrate solution. Recovery rate of NaCl was 89% and the power consumption was 0.38 kWh/kg·NaCl. Irreversible fouling was not caused as electric resistance of membrane pile maintained stably. In a conclusion, acidic-ED is a practical option treat salinity organic wastewater when current techniques including thermal evaporation and pressure-driven membrane separation present limitations.
