Abstract

A method for treating a waste liquid comprises: step (A), adding a precursory oxidant to a waste liquid having a temperature of 25-70° C.; wherein, the precursory oxidant is hydrogen peroxide or sodium percarbonate, and in mg/L, a ratio of the precursory oxidant/the total amount of sulfide is 2.20 to 6.37; step (B), mixing an advanced oxidant and the waste liquid after step (A); wherein, the advanced oxidant is sodium persulfate or potassium persulfate, and in mg/L, a ratio of the advanced oxidant/COD after step (A) is 7.63 to 33.27; step (C), using UV illumination method to illuminate the oxidant dissolved in the waste liquid after step (B), and aerated with oxygen-containing gas. By the above-described method, it can achieve the purpose of sulfide conversion and degradation and removal of organic pollution composition under the condition free of the generation of H 2 S.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for simultaneously treating sulfide and organic composition contained in a waste liquid, comprising:
(A) step of sulfur removal by precursory stabilizing conversion under the operating conditions of pH value >12, it is adding a precursory oxidant or the precursory oxidant accompanied by aerating with oxygen-containing gas to a waste liquid containing sulfide and COD having a temperature of 25-70° C., and make it mixed thoroughly and evenly; wherein, the precursory oxidant is hydrogen peroxide or sodium percarbonate, and in mg/L, a ratio of the precursory oxidant/the total amount of sulfide is 2.20 to 6.37; (B) step of sulfur removal by advanced oxidative degradation, it is sufficiently mixing evenly an advanced oxidant and the waste liquid after treatment in the above step (A); wherein, the advanced oxidant is sodium persulfate or potassium persulfate, and in mg/L, a ratio of the advanced oxidant/COD after the above step (A) is 7.63 to 33.27; (C) step of UV illumination, it is using UV illumination method to illuminate the oxidant dissolved in the waste liquid after the above step (B) or UV light to illuminate together with the residual hydrogen peroxide and/or sodium percarbonate in the waste liquid of the above step (A), the oxidant dissolved in the waste liquid is activated, and aerated with oxygen-containing gas.

2 . The method for simultaneously treating sulfide and organic composition contained in a waste liquid according to claim 1 , further comprising:
(D) step of post-treatment, it is recycling the waste liquid after the above steps (A) to (C) as a regenerative lye; or adjusting pH value of the waste liquid that has undergone the above step (C), so that it is connected to a biological treatment unit or discharged directly as an effluent.

3 . The method for simultaneously treating sulfide and organic composition contained in a waste liquid according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfide comprises organic sulfides and inorganic sulfides, and the organic sulfide includes at least any one selected from the group consisting of thiols, thiophenols, thioethers, polysulfides, sulfones, cyclic sulfides, thio heterocyclic compounds, thioaldehydes, thioketones, and thiocarboxylic acids; the inorganic sulfide includes at least any one selected from the group consisting of NaHS, KHS, Na 2 S, K 2 S and dissolved H 2 S.

4 . The method for simultaneously treating sulfide and organic composition contained in a waste liquid according to claim 1 , wherein in the step (C), the oxidant dissolved in the waste liquid after the step (B) is at least any one selected from the group consisting of sodium persulfate or potassium persulfate described in the step (B), hydrogen peroxide or sodium percarbonate remained in the step (A), and a mixture of the above two and oxygen-containing gas.

5 . The method for simultaneously treating sulfide and organic composition contained in a waste liquid according to claim 1 , wherein in the step (C), a wavelength range of UV light in the UV illumination method is between 180 nm and 365 nm.

6 . The method for simultaneously treating sulfide and organic composition contained in a waste liquid according to claim 1 , wherein a treatment time of the step (A) is 0.5 to 1 hour; a treatment time of the step (C) is 1.5 to 7 hours.

7 . The method for simultaneously treating sulfide and organic composition contained in a waste liquid according to claim 1 , wherein a concentration of the sulfide is 20000-35000 mg/L; and a concentration of the COD is 25000-35000 mg/L.

8 . The method for simultaneously treating sulfide and organic composition contained in a waste liquid according to claim 1 , wherein the waste liquid containing sulfide and COD is at least any one selected from the following: petrochemical industry waste lye; oil refinery industry waste lye; pharmaceutical waste water containing sulfides, tanning waste water, aquaculture waste water, domestic sewage or soil groundwater.
