Abstract

A system and method for cooperatively treating water and gas to reduce pollutants and carbon emission. The system includes a flue gas pre-treatment unit, a wastewater pre-treatment unit, a gas-water cooperative cleaning unit, a remaining water treatment unit, and a circulating cooling evaporation unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for cooperatively treating water and gas, comprising the following steps:
introducing flue gas into a flue gas pre-treatment unit, and subjecting the flue gas to a desulphurization and dust removal treatment to obtain a desulphurized and dust-removed flue gas, and introducing the desulphurized and dust-removed flue gas into a gas-water cooperative cleaning unit,
introducing wastewater into a wastewater pre-treatment unit, and subjecting the wastewater to a carbon source separation, adjusting a pH value of the wastewater after the carbon source separation to 7.0-8.2 to obtain a carbon source-removed wastewater, and introducing the carbon source-removed wastewater into the gas-water cooperative cleaning unit, and subjecting the carbon source-removed wastewater to a gas-water cooperative treatment, to obtain a clean flue gas and a remaining water,
introducing the remaining water into a remaining water treatment unit, and subjecting the remaining water to a desalting treatment to obtain a desalted water, and
introducing the desalted water into a circulating cooling evaporation unit, subjecting the desalted water to a circulating cooling evaporation as a cooling water to obtain a residual water, and introducing the residual water into the wastewater pre-treatment unit.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a volume flow ratio of the desulphurized and dust-removed flue gas introduced into the gas-water cooperative cleaning unit to the carbon source-removed wastewater introduced into the gas-water cooperative cleaning unit is in a range of 2:1 to 10:1.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the desulphurized and dust-removed flue gas has a SO X concentration of not larger than 200 mg/Nm 3 , and a dust concentration of not larger than 20 mg/Nm 3 , and
the carbon source-removed wastewater has an NH 4 + —N concentration of 30 mg/L to 500 mg/L, and a ratio value of chemical oxygen demand to the NH 4 + —N concentration is not greater than 1.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
before introducing into the gas-water cooperative cleaning unit, first introducing the desulphurized and dust-removed flue gas into a first heat recovery device, and recovering heat from the desulphurized and dust-removed flue gas to obtain a first recovered heat and a desulphurized and dust-removed flue gas after recovering heat, and
before introducing into the gas-water cooperative cleaning unit, first introducing the carbon source-removed wastewater into a second heat recovery device, recovering heat from the carbon source-removed wastewater to obtain a second recovered heat and a carbon source-removed wastewater after recovering heat, and
introducing the first recovered heat and second recovered heat into an energy recovery unit for an energy recovery.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the outlet of the flue gas pre-treatment unit is connected to the gas-water cooperative cleaning unit through a first pipeline, wherein the first pipeline is provided with a first heat recovery device thereon, and the first heat recovery device is provided with a first heat outlet,
the water outlet of the wastewater pre-treatment unit is connected to the water inlet of the gas-water cooperative cleaning unit through a second pipeline, wherein the second pipeline is provided with a second heat recovery device, and the second heat recovery device is provided with a second heat outlet, and
the first heat outlet and the second heat outlet are connected to an energy recovery unit, respectively.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the method further comprises the use of a clean energy generation unit, wherein
the clean energy generation unit comprises a solar power generation device or a carbon-source hydrogen generation device, and the carbon-source hydrogen generation device has an inlet connecting to the carbon source outlet of the wastewater pre-treatment unit, wherein the carbon-source hydrogen generation device comprises an electrolytic hydrogen production device; and
the clean energy generation unit is provided with an energy outlet, and the energy outlet is connected to an inlet of the energy recovery unit.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first heat recovery device is an air-source heat pump, and the second heat recovery device is a heat exchanger.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gas-water cooperative cleaning unit is an anammox reactor.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carbon source separation device is provided with a carbon source separation membrane.
