Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は混床を形成しているイオン交換樹脂の再生方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
発電プラントにおいては、復水中の不純物による系統材質の腐食やタービンスケールの防止の点から、給水の水質をより高度に維持する必要がある。このため復水を給水として循環使用するための復水脱塩装置として、高い処理水質が得られる混床式イオン交換脱塩装置が用いられている。
【0003】
混床式イオン交換脱塩装置の処理水質はイオン交換樹脂の再生状態により決定されるが、樹脂の再生状態をより高度にするためには、逆再生をできるだけ生じさせない必要がある。逆再生とは、アニオン交換樹脂の混入したカチオン交換樹脂を塩酸や硫酸など酸溶液で再生する際、アニオン交換樹脂がCl形やSO4形などに再生され、またカチオン交換樹脂の混入したアニオン交換樹脂を水酸化ナトリウムなどのアルカリ溶液で再生する際、カチオン交換樹脂がNa形などに再生されることである。
【0004】
従って、逆再生を生じさせないためには、混床を形成しているイオン交換樹脂を再生するとき、カチオン交換樹脂とアニオン交換樹脂とをできるだけ完全に近い状態に分離し、カチオン交換樹脂中へのアニオン交換樹脂の混入、およびアニオン交換樹脂中へのカチオン交換樹脂の混入を極力減少させる必要がある。
【0005】
復水脱塩装置(混床式イオン交換脱塩装置)は、復水中にイオン交換樹脂の再生剤である酸またはアルカリが混入しないように、脱塩塔と分離再生塔とは完全に分離されており、再生が必要になったときは、その脱塩塔を主系統から切離し、脱塩塔内の樹脂を加圧水と加圧空気により分離再生塔に移送して再生している。
【0006】
図2は復水脱塩装置における従来のイオン交換樹脂の再生工程を示す系統図である。図2において、1は脱塩塔、2はこの脱塩塔1に充填されたイオン交換樹脂、3は分離再生塔、4a、4b、4cは集散水用のストレーナー、4dは薬注用のストレーナー、4eは樹脂コレクター、V1〜V14はバルブである。
【0007】
従来の再生方法では、イオン交換樹脂2の再生は次のようにして行われている。まず、バルブV6、V8を開(他のバルブは閉)の状態にする。このとき、分離再生塔3内は水を抜いて空の状態にしておく。これは、脱塩塔1からの多量の水およびイオン交換樹脂2を受入れるため、分離再生塔3からの排水が追い付かず短時間で満水となって、イオン交換樹脂2の一部が分離再生塔3の上部から流出するのを防止するためである。次にバルブV2、V13、V14を開き、水および空気を脱塩塔1に導入することにより、混床を形成しているイオン交換樹脂2を移送路5を通して分離再生塔3に移送する。このとき分離再生塔3に導入される水は、分離再生塔3の下部および上部の排水路6、7から排出する。
【0008】
移送終了後は、バルブV8、V11が開の状態で分離再生塔3の下部から水を導入し、イオン交換樹脂2を逆洗して、比重差によりアニオン交換樹脂とカチオン交換樹脂とを分離する。分離したアニオン交換樹脂は移送路8を通してアニオン交換樹脂再生塔(図示せず)に移送する。このような逆洗分離は複数回に分けて行う場合もある。
【0009】
分離再生塔3に残った(分離された)カチオン交換樹脂は、バルブV3、V6が開の状態で薬注路9から塩酸、硫酸などの再生剤を注入する薬注工程、ほぼ同量の水を注入する押出工程の後、バルブV6、V10が開の状態で通水する洗浄工程を行って再生する。アニオン交換樹脂はアニオン交換樹脂再生塔(図示せず)において水酸化ナトリウムなどの再生剤により同様に再生する。
【0010】
しかし、上記の従来法では、イオン交換樹脂2の移送開始の際は分離再生塔3は空の状態であり、しかも分離再生塔3の下部の排水路6からも排水するため、流入するイオン交換樹脂2は水流によって分離再生塔3内下部のストレーナー4cに押付けられる。このストレーナー4cは通常20cm程度のピッチで設けられているため、ストレーナー4c間またはその付近に高密度で堆積したイオン交換樹脂2は、ストレーナー4cから水を導入して逆洗しても流動化しにくい状態となる。従って、逆洗の際に分離再生塔3の下部では均一な水流が発生せず、このためイオン交換樹脂2がアニオン交換樹脂とカチオン交換樹脂とに分離されにくい空間が生じ、結果としてカチオン交換樹脂中にアニオン交換樹脂が残留することになる。
【0011】
アニオン交換樹脂が残留した状態でカチオン交換樹脂を塩酸または硫酸等の酸で再生すると、アニオン交換樹脂がR−Cl形またはR−SO4形等に逆再生され、これらの逆再生樹脂が処理水質を悪化させる原因となる。
上記従来の再生方法では、全体のアニオン交換樹脂の0.8〜2%程度が逆再生されている。
【0012】
従来の方法においても、逆洗を長時間行ったり、逆洗分離の回数を増加すればイオン交換樹脂2の分離性は向上するが、この方法では時間がかかるとともに使用する逆洗水の量が増加し、コスト高になる。
【0013】
上記問題点を解決するため、樹脂の分離性を改善する方法が提案されている。例えば、アニオン交換樹脂中のカチオン交換樹脂の分離のために濃厚水酸化ナトリウム溶液を用いて再分離する方法、希薄アンモニア水により樹脂をアンモニウム形にして処理水質への影響を無害化する方法、中間樹脂を再生から除外する方法、中間比重樹脂交換により樹脂の分離性を改善する方法などが知られている。
しかし、これらの方法はいずれも新たな付加設備を必要としたり、より大量のイオン交換樹脂を必要とする。また、これらの技術はアニオン交換樹脂中へのカチオン交換樹脂の混入に対する対策が主であり、カチオン交換樹脂中に混入するアニオン交換樹脂については効果が小さい。
【0014】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、上記問題点を解決するため、新たな設備や薬品を使用せず、しかも短時間に低コストでイオン交換樹脂の分離性を改善することができるイオン交換樹脂の再生方法を提案することである。
【0015】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、混床を形成しているイオン交換樹脂を分離再生塔に移送して分離、再生する方法において、イオン交換樹脂の移送を開始する際、分離再生塔に水を保持しておき、樹脂移送に同伴する水の導入に伴い、分離再生塔内の水を分離再生塔の下部以外の部分から排出することを特徴とするイオン交換樹脂の再生方法である。
【0016】
本発明の方法は、アニオン交換樹脂とカチオン交換樹脂とが混合されて混床を形成しているイオン交換樹脂の再生であればどのようなイオン交換樹脂の再生にも適用できるが、復水脱塩装置に使用されているイオン交換樹脂の再生に適用するのが好ましい。
【0017】
イオン交換樹脂の移送を開始する際の分離再生塔に保持する水の量は特に制限されないが、水深1mないし満水時の水深、好ましくは形成される樹脂層高の50%ないし満水時の2/3の水深とするのが好適である。
樹脂の移送に同伴する水の導入に伴い、分離再生塔内の水を排出する部分は、分離再生塔の下部以外の部分であれば制限はないが、大量の水を排出するために、塔上部に設けられた集散水用ストレーナーのほかに、塔頂部に連絡するガス抜き用の配管等からも排水するのが好ましい。
【0018】
本発明では、分離再生塔に水を保持した状態でイオン交換樹脂の移送を開始し、しかも樹脂移送に同伴する水の導入に伴い、分離再生塔内の水を分離再生塔の下部から排出せず、下部以外の流路のみから排水することにより、流入するイオン交換樹脂がストレーナーに押付けられて流動化しにくくなる状態を防止できる。このとき同時に、分離再生塔内部では保持された水の中を樹脂が沈降するので、沈降の過程で両樹脂の比重差に基づく分離が行われる。この分離は完全なものではないが、次工程の逆洗により容易に分離される状態にあり、分離再生塔を空の状態で移送を開始する従来の方法に比べて分離性は大きく改善される。このため短時間の逆洗によりアニオン交換樹脂とカチオン交換樹脂とを分離することができ、カチオン交換樹脂中へのアニオン交換樹脂の混入を防止することができる。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面により説明する。
図1は復水脱塩装置における本発明のイオン交換樹脂の再生工程を示す系統図である。図1において、図2と同一符号は同一または相当部分を示す。
【0020】
図1においては、脱塩塔1内に混床を形成しているイオン交換樹脂2の再生は次のようにして行う。まずバルブV10またはV11を開き、脱塩水を分離再生塔3に導入し、保有水11とする。保有水11の保有量は水深1m以上、特に分離再生塔3にイオン交換樹脂2を全量移送したときの樹脂層高の50%以上とするのが好ましい。脱塩水の導入が終了すると、バルブV10またはV11は閉じる。
【0021】
次にバルブV1、V2、V8、V13、V14を開き、水および空気を脱塩塔1に導入することにより、混床を形成しているイオン交換樹脂2を移送路5を通して分離再生塔3に移送する。このとき樹脂に同伴する水の導入に伴い、分離再生塔3内の水は、分離再生塔の上部の排水路7、10から排出し、下部の排水路6からは排出しない。このため分離再生塔3に導入された樹脂はストレーナー4cに強く押付けられることはなく、ストレーナー4c間またはストレーナー4c付近に密な状態で堆積することがない。
【0022】
移送終了後は、従来と同様の方法で処理する。すなわちバルブV8、V11が開の状態で分離再生塔3の下部から水を導入し、イオン交換樹脂2を逆洗して比重差によりアニオン交換樹脂とカチオン交換樹脂とを分離する。分離したアニオン交換樹脂はバルブV7を開の状態にして移送路8を通してアニオン交換樹脂再生塔(図示せず)に移送する。このような逆洗分離は複数回に分けて行うこともできる。
【0023】
分離再生塔3に残った(分離された)カチオン交換樹脂は、バルブV3、V6が開の状態で薬注路9から塩酸、硫酸などの酸溶液を再生剤として注入して再生する。アニオン交換樹脂はアニオン交換樹脂再生塔(図示せず)において水酸化ナトリウムなどのアルカリ溶液を再生剤として注入して再生する。
【0024】
このように分離再生塔3に水を保持した状態でイオン交換樹脂2の移送を開始し、しかも樹脂移送に同伴する水の導入に伴い、分離再生塔3内の水を分離再生塔3の下部の排水路6から排水せず、下部以外の流路、例えば排水路7、10のみから排水すると、流入するイオン交換樹脂2がストレーナー4cに押付けられて流動化しにくくなる状態を防止できる。これと同時に、分離再生塔3内部では保持された水の中を樹脂が沈降するので、沈降の過程で両樹脂の比重差に基づく分離が行われる。この分離は完全なものではないが、次工程の逆洗により容易に分離される状態にあり、分離再生塔3を空の状態で移送を開始する従来の方法に比べて分離性は大きく改善される。このため短時間の逆洗によりアニオン交換樹脂とカチオン交換樹脂とを分離することができ、カチオン交換樹脂中へのアニオン交換樹脂の混入を防止することができる。
【0025】
【実施例】
実施例1
図1により説明した方法により樹脂の逆洗分離を行った。脱塩塔1としては塔径3.2mφ、高さ2.5mの円柱状の塔を使用し、カチオン交換樹脂として三菱化学(株)製のDiaion PK228G(商標)6.8m3、アニオン交換樹脂として三菱化学(株)製のDiaion PA312L(商標)3.7m3を用いて混床を形成した。分離再生塔3としては塔径2.3mφ、高さ5.7mの円柱状の塔を用いた。分離再生塔3下部に設けられている集散水用のストレーナー4cのピッチは約20cmである。
【0026】
分離再生塔3には初期水位1mの保有水11を保持した状態で移送を開始した。脱塩塔1内の全樹脂は、12m3/hの水量と加圧空気により30分間で分離再生塔3に移送した。このとき樹脂移送に同伴する水の導入に伴い、分離再生塔3内の水は上部の排水路7、10から排出し、下部の排水路6からは排出しなかった。
【0027】
移送終了後、逆洗分離およびアンモニア交換樹脂の移送を下記の工程により実施した。
分離再生塔3逆洗〔1〕;
逆洗LV:12m/h、時間:30min、V−11、V−8:開

アニオン交換樹脂移送〔2〕;
逆洗LV:20m/h、時間:20min、V−11、V−7:開
【0028】
次に、分離再生塔3内のカチオン交換樹脂中に残留したアニオン交換樹脂の量を測定した結果、約12.1 literであった。この量は全アニオン交換樹脂に対して0.32%であり、後述の比較例1に比べて混入量が少ないことがわかる。
また従来法の比較例1に比べて短時間で、しかも少ない水量で同等の分離能が得られることがわかる。
【0029】
比較例1
図2により説明した方法により樹脂の逆洗分離を行った。使用した脱塩塔1、分離再生塔3、ならびに樹脂およびその量は実施例1と同じである。
分離再生塔3は空の状態で移送を開始した。脱塩塔1内の全樹脂は、12m3/hの水量と加圧空気により30分間で分離再生塔3に移送した。このとき樹脂移送に同伴する水の導入に伴い、分離再生塔3内の水は排水路6、7から排出した。
【0030】
移送終了後、逆洗分離およびアニオン交換樹脂の移送を実施例1と同様にして行った。その結果、分離再生塔3内のカチオン交換樹脂中に残留したアニオン交換樹脂の量は約32.4 literであった。この量は全アニオン交換樹脂に対して0.87%であった。
【0031】
さらに、上記に引続いて、逆洗分離を下記の工程により実施した。
分離再生塔3逆洗〔3〕;
逆洗LV:24m/h、時間:30min、V−11、V−8:開
分離再生塔3逆洗〔4〕;
逆洗LV:12m/h、時間:15min、V−11、V−8:開
【0032】
上記の結果、分離再生塔3内の樹脂層上部に約11 literのアニオン交換樹脂が分離された。この樹脂を除去すれば、最終的にカチオン交換樹脂中に混入するアニオン交換樹脂の量は32.4−11=11.4(liter)となる。この量は全アニオン交換樹脂に対して約0.3%である。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
本発明のイオン交換樹脂の再生方法は、分離再生塔に水を保持した状態で脱塩塔から樹脂を移送し、樹脂に同伴する水の導入に伴い、分離再生塔内の水を分離再生塔の下部以外の部分から排出するようにしたので、新たな設備や薬品を使用せず、しかも短時間に低コストでイオン交換樹脂の分離性を改善することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for regenerating an ion exchange resin forming a mixed bed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a power plant, it is necessary to maintain the water quality of the feed water at a higher level from the viewpoint of corrosion of system materials due to impurities in condensate and prevention of turbine scale. For this reason, as a condensate demineralizer for recirculating and using condensate as feed water, a mixed bed type ion exchange desalination apparatus capable of obtaining high treated water quality is used.
[0003]
The treated water quality of the mixed bed type ion exchange desalting apparatus is determined by the regeneration state of the ion exchange resin, but in order to make the regeneration state of the resin higher, it is necessary to prevent reverse regeneration as much as possible. Reverse regeneration means that when an anion exchange resin is mixed with an acid solution such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, the anion exchange resin is regenerated into a Cl form or SO 4 form, and the anion exchange is mixed with a cation exchange resin. When the resin is regenerated with an alkali solution such as sodium hydroxide, the cation exchange resin is regenerated to Na form or the like.
[0004]
Therefore, in order to prevent reverse regeneration, when regenerating the ion exchange resin forming the mixed bed, the cation exchange resin and the anion exchange resin are separated as close as possible to each other, It is necessary to reduce the mixing of the anion exchange resin and the mixing of the cation exchange resin into the anion exchange resin as much as possible.
[0005]
In the condensate demineralizer (mixed bed ion exchange demineralizer), the desalting tower and separation / regeneration tower are completely separated so that acid or alkali, which is a regenerant of the ion exchange resin, is not mixed in the condensate. When regeneration is required, the desalting tower is disconnected from the main system, and the resin in the desalting tower is transferred to the separation and regeneration tower using pressurized water and pressurized air for regeneration.
[0006]
FIG. 2 is a system diagram showing a conventional ion exchange resin regeneration process in the condensate demineralizer. In FIG. 2, 1 is a desalting tower, 2 is an ion exchange resin packed in the desalting tower 1, 3 is a separation and regeneration tower, 4a, 4b and 4c are strainers for collecting water, and 4d is a strainer for chemical injection. 4e is a resin collector, and V1 to V14 are valves.
[0007]
In the conventional regeneration method, regeneration of the ion exchange resin 2 is performed as follows. First, the valves V6 and V8 are opened (the other valves are closed). At this time, the inside of the separation / regeneration tower 3 is made empty by draining water. This is because a large amount of water and the ion exchange resin 2 from the desalting tower 1 are received, so that the waste water from the separation and regeneration tower 3 cannot catch up and fills up in a short time, and a part of the ion exchange resin 2 is separated and regenerated. This is to prevent the liquid from flowing out from the upper part of 3. Next, the valves V2, V13 and V14 are opened, and water and air are introduced into the desalting tower 1, whereby the ion exchange resin 2 forming the mixed bed is transferred to the separation and regeneration tower 3 through the transfer path 5. At this time, the water introduced into the separation and regeneration tower 3 is discharged from the lower and upper drainage channels 6 and 7 of the separation and regeneration tower 3.
[0008]
After completion of the transfer, water is introduced from the lower part of the separation / regeneration tower 3 with the valves V8 and V11 open, the ion exchange resin 2 is back-washed, and the anion exchange resin and the cation exchange resin are separated by the specific gravity difference. . The separated anion exchange resin is transferred to the anion exchange resin regeneration tower (not shown) through the transfer path 8. Such backwashing separation may be performed in multiple steps.
[0009]
The cation exchange resin remaining (separated) in the separation and regeneration tower 3 is a chemical injection process in which a regenerant such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is injected from the chemical injection path 9 with the valves V3 and V6 open, and approximately the same amount of water. After the extruding step of injecting water, a cleaning step of passing water with the valves V6 and V10 being opened is performed for regeneration. The anion exchange resin is similarly regenerated with a regenerant such as sodium hydroxide in an anion exchange resin regeneration tower (not shown).
[0010]
However, in the above conventional method, when the transfer of the ion exchange resin 2 is started, the separation / regeneration tower 3 is in an empty state, and also drains from the drainage channel 6 below the separation / regeneration tower 3, so that the inflowing ion exchange The resin 2 is pressed against the strainer 4c in the lower part of the separation / regeneration tower 3 by a water flow. Since the strainer 4c is usually provided at a pitch of about 20 cm, the ion exchange resin 2 deposited at a high density between or in the vicinity of the strainers 4c is hardly fluidized even if water is introduced from the strainer 4c and backwashed. It becomes a state. Accordingly, a uniform water flow is not generated in the lower part of the separation / regeneration tower 3 during backwashing, and as a result, a space in which the ion exchange resin 2 is difficult to be separated into the anion exchange resin and the cation exchange resin is generated, and as a result, the cation exchange resin An anion exchange resin remains in the inside.
[0011]
When the cation exchange resin is regenerated with an acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid while the anion exchange resin remains, the anion exchange resin is reversely regenerated to R-Cl type or R-SO 4 type , and these reverse regenerated resins are treated with treated water. Cause it to worsen.
In the conventional regeneration method, about 0.8 to 2% of the entire anion exchange resin is reversely regenerated.
[0012]
Also in the conventional method, if the backwashing is performed for a long time or the number of backwashing separations is increased, the separability of the ion exchange resin 2 is improved. However, this method takes time and the amount of backwashing water to be used is increased. Increasing and costing.
[0013]
In order to solve the above problems, a method for improving the separability of the resin has been proposed. For example, re-separation using concentrated sodium hydroxide solution for separation of cation exchange resin in anion exchange resin, method of making resin in ammonium form with dilute ammonia water, detoxifying the effect on treated water quality, intermediate There are known a method of excluding a resin from regeneration, a method of improving resin separability by exchanging intermediate specific gravity resin, and the like.
However, all of these methods require new additional equipment or a larger amount of ion exchange resin. In addition, these techniques mainly take measures against mixing of the cation exchange resin into the anion exchange resin, and have little effect on the anion exchange resin mixed into the cation exchange resin.
[0014]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for regenerating an ion exchange resin that can improve the separability of the ion exchange resin at a low cost in a short time without using new equipment or chemicals. It is to propose.
[0015]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the method of transferring and separating and regenerating the ion exchange resin forming the mixed bed to the separation and regeneration tower, the present invention holds water in the separation and regeneration tower when starting the transfer of the ion exchange resin, A method for regenerating an ion exchange resin, wherein water in the separation / regeneration tower is discharged from a portion other than the lower part of the separation / regeneration tower with the introduction of water accompanying the resin transfer.
[0016]
The method of the present invention can be applied to the regeneration of any ion exchange resin as long as it is a regeneration of an ion exchange resin in which an anion exchange resin and a cation exchange resin are mixed to form a mixed bed. It is preferably applied to the regeneration of ion exchange resins used in salt devices.
[0017]
The amount of water retained in the separation / regeneration tower at the start of the transfer of the ion exchange resin is not particularly limited, but the water depth is 1 m or when the water is full, preferably 50% of the formed resin layer height or 2 / A water depth of 3 is preferred.
With the introduction of water accompanying the transfer of the resin, there is no restriction on the part that discharges water in the separation and regeneration tower as long as it is a part other than the lower part of the separation and regeneration tower, but in order to discharge a large amount of water, In addition to the collection water strainer provided in the upper part, it is preferable to drain also from a piping for venting gas connected to the top of the tower.
[0018]
In the present invention, the transfer of the ion exchange resin is started with water held in the separation / regeneration tower, and the water in the separation / regeneration tower is discharged from the lower part of the separation / regeneration tower with the introduction of the water accompanying the resin transfer. In addition, by draining only from the flow path other than the lower part, it is possible to prevent the inflowing ion exchange resin from being pressed against the strainer and becoming difficult to fluidize. At the same time, since the resin settles in the retained water inside the separation and regeneration tower, separation based on the specific gravity difference between the two resins is performed during the sedimentation process. Although this separation is not perfect, it is in a state where it can be easily separated by backwashing in the next step, and the separability is greatly improved as compared with the conventional method in which the separation regeneration tower is started to be transferred in an empty state. . For this reason, the anion exchange resin and the cation exchange resin can be separated by short-time backwashing, and mixing of the anion exchange resin into the cation exchange resin can be prevented.
[0019]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a system diagram showing a regeneration process of the ion exchange resin of the present invention in a condensate demineralizer. 1, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 denote the same or corresponding parts.
[0020]
In FIG. 1, regeneration of the ion exchange resin 2 forming a mixed bed in the desalting tower 1 is performed as follows. First, the valve V <b> 10 or V <b> 11 is opened, and demineralized water is introduced into the separation / regeneration tower 3 to obtain retained water 11. It is preferable that the retained water 11 be retained at a depth of 1 m or more, particularly 50% or more of the resin layer height when the entire amount of the ion exchange resin 2 is transferred to the separation and regeneration tower 3. When the introduction of the demineralized water is finished, the valve V10 or V11 is closed.
[0021]
Next, the valves V 1, V 2, V 8, V 13, V 14 are opened and water and air are introduced into the desalting tower 1, whereby the ion exchange resin 2 forming the mixed bed is transferred to the separation / regeneration tower 3 through the transfer path 5. Transport. This time with the introduction of water entrained in the resin, the water in the separation regenerator 3 is discharged from the drainage channel 7 and 10 of the upper portion of the separation regenerator, not discharged from the bottom of the drainage channel 6. Therefore, the resin introduced into the separation / regeneration tower 3 is not strongly pressed against the strainer 4c, and does not accumulate in a dense state between the strainers 4c or in the vicinity of the strainer 4c.
[0022]
After the transfer is completed, it is processed in the same manner as before. That is, water is introduced from the lower part of the separation / regeneration tower 3 with the valves V8 and V11 open, the ion exchange resin 2 is backwashed, and the anion exchange resin and the cation exchange resin are separated by a specific gravity difference. The separated anion exchange resin is transferred to the anion exchange resin regeneration tower (not shown) through the transfer path 8 with the valve V7 opened. Such backwashing separation can be performed in a plurality of times.
[0023]
The cation exchange resin remaining (separated) in the separation and regeneration tower 3 is regenerated by injecting an acid solution such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid as a regenerant from the chemical injection channel 9 with the valves V3 and V6 open. The anion exchange resin is regenerated by injecting an alkaline solution such as sodium hydroxide as a regenerant in an anion exchange resin regeneration tower (not shown).
[0024]
In this way, the transfer of the ion exchange resin 2 is started in a state where the water is held in the separation / regeneration tower 3, and the water in the separation / regeneration tower 3 is removed from the lower part of the separation / regeneration tower 3 with the introduction of the water accompanying the resin transfer. If the drainage channel 6 is not drained, but drains only from the channels other than the lower channel, for example, the drainage channels 7 and 10, it is possible to prevent the inflowing ion exchange resin 2 from being pressed against the strainer 4c and becoming difficult to fluidize. At the same time, since the resin settles in the water retained in the separation / regeneration tower 3, separation based on the specific gravity difference between the two resins is performed in the sedimentation process. Although this separation is not perfect, it is in a state where it can be easily separated by backwashing in the next step, and the separability is greatly improved as compared with the conventional method in which the separation regeneration tower 3 is transferred in an empty state. The For this reason, the anion exchange resin and the cation exchange resin can be separated by short-time backwashing, and mixing of the anion exchange resin into the cation exchange resin can be prevented.
[0025]
【Example】
Example 1
The resin was backwashed and separated by the method described with reference to FIG. A columnar tower having a tower diameter of 3.2 mφ and a height of 2.5 m is used as the desalting tower 1, Diaion PK228G (trademark) 6.8 m 3 manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation as an cation exchange resin, and an anion exchange resin As a mixed bed, Diaion PA312L (trademark) 3.7 m 3 manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation was used. As the separation / regeneration tower 3, a columnar tower having a tower diameter of 2.3 mφ and a height of 5.7 m was used. The pitch of the strainer 4c for collecting water provided at the lower part of the separation and regeneration tower 3 is about 20 cm.
[0026]
Transfer was started in the separation / regeneration tower 3 while retaining the retained water 11 having an initial water level of 1 m. All the resin in the desalting tower 1 was transferred to the separation and regeneration tower 3 in 30 minutes with a water amount of 12 m 3 / h and pressurized air. This time with the introduction of water entrained in the resin transfer, the water in the separation regeneration tower 3 is discharged from the top of the drainage 7,10 was not discharged from the bottom of the drainage channel 6.
[0027]
After completion of the transfer, backwash separation and transfer of the ammonia exchange resin were carried out by the following steps.
Separation and regeneration tower 3 backwash [1];
Backwash LV: 12 m / h, time: 30 min, V-11, V-8: open anion exchange resin transfer [1];
Backwash LV: 12 m / h, time: 30 min, V-11, V-7: open separation regeneration tower 3 backwash [2];
Backwash LV: 20 m / h, time: 30 min, V-11, V-8: open anion exchange resin transfer [2];
Backwash LV: 20 m / h, time: 20 min, V-11, V-7: open
Next, the amount of the anion exchange resin remaining in the cation exchange resin in the separation / regeneration tower 3 was measured and found to be about 12.1 liters. This amount is 0.32% with respect to the total anion exchange resin, and it can be seen that the mixing amount is small as compared with Comparative Example 1 described later.
It can also be seen that the same separation ability can be obtained in a shorter time and with a smaller amount of water than in Comparative Example 1 of the conventional method.
[0029]
Comparative Example 1
The resin was backwashed and separated by the method described with reference to FIG. The desalting tower 1, the separation / regeneration tower 3, and the resin and the amount thereof used are the same as those in Example 1.
The separation and regeneration tower 3 started to be transferred in an empty state. All the resin in the desalting tower 1 was transferred to the separation and regeneration tower 3 in 30 minutes with a water amount of 12 m 3 / h and pressurized air. At this time , the water in the separation / regeneration tower 3 was discharged from the drains 6 and 7 with the introduction of the water accompanying the resin transfer .
[0030]
After completion of the transfer, backwash separation and anion exchange resin transfer were carried out in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, the amount of the anion exchange resin remaining in the cation exchange resin in the separation and regeneration tower 3 was about 32.4 liter. This amount was 0.87% based on the total anion exchange resin.
[0031]
Furthermore, following the above, backwash separation was carried out by the following steps.
Separation and regeneration tower 3 backwash [3];
Backwash LV: 24 m / h, time: 30 min, V-11, V-8: open separation regeneration tower 3 backwash [4];
Backwash LV: 12 m / h, time: 15 min, V-11, V-8: open
As a result, about 11 liters of anion exchange resin was separated on the upper part of the resin layer in the separation / regeneration tower 3. If this resin is removed, the amount of the anion exchange resin finally mixed in the cation exchange resin is 32.4-11 = 11.4 (liter). This amount is about 0.3% based on the total anion exchange resin.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
The method for regenerating an ion exchange resin according to the present invention transfers a resin from a desalting tower while retaining water in the separation and regeneration tower, and separates and regenerates the water in the separation and regeneration tower as the water accompanying the resin is introduced. Since the discharge is performed from the portion other than the lower portion, it is possible to improve the separability of the ion exchange resin in a short time and at a low cost without using any new equipment or chemicals.
