Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of silicone wastewater treatment, and more specifically, to a wastewater treatment system for inorganic silicone production. Background Technology
[0002] The main raw materials for silicone production are water glass and sulfuric acid, and the main energy source is steam. First, a solution of sulfuric acid and sodium silicate of a certain concentration and temperature is prepared. After a synthesis reaction, a silicone gel solution is formed. The silicone gel undergoes an aging process to expand pores and stabilize the structure. Then, it is acid-soaked and washed with water to remove sodium sulfate, sulfuric acid and other impurities from the gel. Finally, the gel is retrieved and dried using steam heat exchange.
[0003] In existing processes, during the glue preparation process, the prolonged preparation time makes it easy for silica gel to precipitate in the receiver water, generating a large amount of neutral wastewater containing silica gel precipitate. During acid soaking, a sulfuric acid solution with a mass concentration of 3-4.5% is required, which, after replacement, generates 1-2% low-concentration sulfuric acid wastewater. During washing, a large amount of hot water is required, generating a large amount of 0.5-1% low-concentration sulfuric acid wastewater. At the glue discharge stage after glue scooping, a large amount of weakly acidic wastewater with low conductivity is generated. Traditional processes generally use lime neutralization followed by flocculation and sedimentation for these four types of wastewater, and finally filter the precipitate, with the filtrate meeting the standards for discharge.
[0004] For example, Chinese Patent No. CN202211234250.2 discloses a wastewater recycling device and treatment method for silicone production, published on December 9, 2020. It discloses a wastewater recycling and supply mechanism, which includes a base and a liquid storage impeller. The liquid storage impeller is positioned above the base, and its front and rear ends are rotatably connected to the base via impeller supports. A discharge chamber is located at the center of the liquid storage impeller, and an acid mixing chamber, a water mixing chamber, and a neutralization chamber are arranged around the discharge chamber. A partition is provided between the discharge chamber, acid mixing chamber, water mixing chamber, and neutralization chamber. Waterproof electrically controlled valves are installed between the acid mixing chamber, water mixing chamber, and neutralization chamber and the discharge chamber.
[0005] While the above solution addresses the aforementioned wastewater treatment problem, it is inefficient in treating silica gel wastewater. Furthermore, the sequential discharge of wastewater from each stage of the silica gel wastewater treatment process leads to low efficiency. Additionally, it fails to clean and perform secondary filtration of the formed flocs, thus failing to maximize their utilization. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0046] Example 1:
[0047] Please see Figure 1 An inorganic silicone wastewater treatment system includes S1: First, the silicone wastewater in the waste liquid tank 13 is discharged into the pretreatment tank 1 for the first step of centrifugal stirring and filtration to remove precipitates and other impurities from the silicone wastewater.
[0048] S2: After being filtered in step 1, the silica gel wastewater is discharged into pH adjustment tank 2. The silica gel wastewater is neutralized by the acid and alkali solution in acid and alkali storage tank 23, and the pH sensor is used to monitor and ensure that the acid and alkali index is neutral.
[0049] S3: The neutralized silica gel wastewater is discharged into the flocculation sedimentation tank 3. After the silica gel wastewater enters the flocculation sedimentation tank 3, flocculant is introduced into the flocculation sedimentation tank 3 from the flocculant storage tank 24 to flocculate and precipitate the suspended solids in the silica gel wastewater. During the flocculation sedimentation process, the centrifuge device 33 stirs the flocculants, causing them to settle and accumulate in the lower tank of the centrifuge device 33. The silica gel wastewater above, after the suspended solids have been removed, flows upward through the filter screen and the water filtration device, and is discharged into the water filtration tank 6 through the water pumping pipe 5.
[0050] S4: Following S3, the amount of flocculent material in the lower tank of the centrifuge increases, which compresses the trigger mechanism in the circuit system 34 to open the circuit system, allowing the lower tank plate to fall into the sludge tank 4. The flocculent material is then isolated by the second sludge screen 41, and the silica gel wastewater passes through the sludge tank 4 into the water filter tank 6.
[0051] S5: Following S4, the treated silica gel wastewater is discharged into the filtration tank 6 and undergoes final filtration through the filter plate 61 in the middle of the filtration tank 6. At the same time, disinfectant water is introduced into the disinfection storage tank 62 above the filtration tank 6 to perform final disinfection treatment on the silica gel wastewater, which is finally discharged from the drain outlet 7.
[0052] Working principle:
[0053] In this invention, the silica gel wastewater first undergoes a pretreatment filtration process in a pretreatment tank, followed by pH neutralization in a pH adjustment tank. The neutralized wastewater is then discharged into a flocculation sedimentation tank, where flocculant is added from a flocculant reserve tank to react with the wastewater and generate flocs. These flocs are then centrifuged and separated from the treated wastewater. The upper portion of the wastewater in the sedimentation tank is filtered through a first screen to remove the flocs, ensuring complete separation. The upper water is then pumped into a filtration tank. When the flocs at the bottom of the sedimentation tank reach a certain weight, they press a spring-loaded rod, forcing the lower plate to open and allowing the flocs to be discharged. These discharged flocs are then intercepted by a second screen, thus cleaning the flocs and separating the treated wastewater. The separated wastewater is then discharged into the filtration tank for further filtration. Finally, add disinfectant to the water filter tank, and it can be discharged from the drain outlet.
