Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for treating toxic heavy metals in tin-containing wastewater by utilizing chemical flocculation precipitation combined with multi-stage anaerobic treatment. Background Art

[0002] Tin is a silver-grey metal with a very low content in natural water bodies. The concentration of tin in river water is 10 -3 Tin can cause odor and reduce transparency in water. The World Health Organization considers tin to be non-toxic to human health at concentrations commonly found in drinking water. However, excessive consumption or inhalation of inorganic tin can cause digestive system disorders and neurological damage. In recent years, the rapid development of fields such as tin plating, mirror manufacturing, and printed circuit board manufacturing has drawn attention to the discharge of tin-containing wastewater. If discharged without treatment, tin ions may be converted into organic tin, which poses even more serious hazards.

[0003] At present, the main methods for treating tin-containing wastewater at home and abroad are chemical precipitation, ion exchange, membrane separation and biological methods. Chemical precipitation is based on the solubility product principle, which makes the elements in water form insoluble salts and then separate from the liquid phase for removal. It is simple to operate and economical to apply. It is suitable for treating large amounts of wastewater with high salt content. However, when used alone, the removal rate is low, solid-liquid separation is difficult, and the amount of sludge is large, which increases the difficulty of subsequent treatment processes. Ion exchange is to make Sn 2+ Tin is removed by exchanging with exchangeable ions on the ion exchanger or undergoing physical and chemical adsorption with the adsorbent. The ion exchange method has high resin stability, high selectivity for metal ions, good separation effect, and small sludge volume. However, it is affected by competing ions and raw water quality, making resin recycling difficult. Membrane separation technology uses selective permeable membranes and pressure differences as a driving force to achieve solid-liquid separation. It has the advantages of good effluent quality, stable process, no phase change of materials, and energy saving. However, it has high requirements for raw water quality and is restricted by membrane pollution. It usually needs to be used in combination with other processes or the addition of agents to alleviate membrane pollution. Biological treatment methods include phytoremediation and microbial methods. Phytoremediation relies on plants and microorganisms growing in their root systems to jointly purify the environment. Microbial methods use microorganisms as biological adsorbents to adsorb metal elements to remove tin. Currently, there is little research on relying on animals to remove heavy metals. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for treating toxic heavy metals in tin-containing wastewater by combining chemical flocculation and precipitation with multi-stage anaerobic treatment, so as to solve the problems of existing tin-containing wastewater treatment, such as the difficulty in treatment, the complexity of the overall treatment steps, the high treatment cost, and the large amount of sludge generated in traditional treatment methods.

[0005] A device for treating toxic heavy metals in tin-containing wastewater by utilizing chemical flocculation and precipitation combined with multi-stage anaerobic treatment comprises an inlet pump, a coagulant storage tank, a coagulant dosing pump, a coagulation and stirring tank, an electric stirrer, a lift pump, a multi-stage anaerobic reactor, an aeration device, and an outlet pump. The coagulation and stirring tank is provided with an electric stirrer. The multi-stage anaerobic reactor is divided into five biological treatment chambers, which are, from left to right, a first anaerobic biological treatment zone, a second anaerobic biological treatment zone, a third anaerobic biological treatment zone, a facultative biological treatment zone, and an aerobic biological treatment zone. The aeration device is provided in the aerobic biological treatment zone. The outlet of the inlet pump is connected to the water inlet of the coagulation and stirring tank. The outlet of the coagulant storage tank is connected to the feed port of the coagulation and stirring tank via a coagulant dosing pump. The outlet of the coagulation and stirring tank is connected to the water inlet of the first anaerobic biological treatment zone via a lift pump. The effluent of the aerobic biological treatment zone is discharged via the outlet pump.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0007] This utility model removes other metallic impurities and easily degradable tin ions from tin-containing wastewater by adding precipitants, coagulants, and flocculants during the coagulation stage. Furthermore, a sulfate-based multi-stage anaerobic biological treatment enhances the removal of recalcitrant heavy metal compounds, such as organotin. Sulfate-reducing bacteria in the acclimated sludge are utilized to degrade the complex structure of recalcitrant heavy metal compounds while simultaneously removing organic matter and the readily degradable heavy metal tin ions after conversion through biochemical reactions. This device efficiently treats recalcitrant tin-containing wastewater without leaving significant amounts of toxic and harmful heavy metal ions. Furthermore, the device biologically recovers the heavy metal tin from the tin-containing wastewater into the sludge, which can then be further processed to recover the heavy metal tin, achieving resource recovery and utilization. This utility model helps reduce the complexity of tin-containing wastewater treatment and paves the way for heavy metal recovery and subsequent treatment of tin-containing wastewater. This utility model not only effectively removes heavy metals from tin-containing wastewater, but also occupies a small footprint, does not cause environmental pollution or human poisoning, and has a low investment cost. It helps circuit board manufacturers reduce costs and increase efficiency, improve the overall treatment efficiency of tin-containing wastewater, reduce treatment costs, and reduce the discharge of toxic heavy metals.
