  • Publication number: 20110100917
    Abstract: Provided is a method for recovering high-concentration and high-purity amine from amine-containing waste water generated from nuclear power plants and thermal power plants. The method includes: capturing amine and concentrating waste water using a cation exchange resin; separating amine from the concentrated amine-containing waste water; and carrying out further separation of amine via distillation. The method may be applied to treat amine, which causes an increase in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total nitrogen concentration, drastically at the time of its generation from waste water of nuclear power plants and thermal power plants. In this manner, the method may prevent an increase in load of existing waste water treating plants and avoid a need for modifying the equipment in the existing plants.

  • Patent number: 7550086
    Abstract: Advanced treatment method and system of ethanolamine-containing wastewater are disclosed, which perform physicochemical and biological treatment processes. The method regenerates cation exchange resin that captures ethanolamine discharged from a nuclear power plant or a thermal power station, concentrates the ethanolamine-containing wastewater to reduce the volume of the wastewater, and then treats the highly concentrated ethanolamine-containing wastewater through biological decomposition and denitrification processes. The system for treating ethanolamine-containing wastewater performs the physicochemical process (ion-exchange and resin regenerations) where the waster is concentrated, and then applies the biological process to the small amount of wastewater highly concentrated. The physicochemical process is composed of exchanging ions and eluting/concentrating ethanolamine using sodium hydroxide.
