[0054] The application is based on the improvement of high turbidity wastewater pretreatment device. The high turbidity wastewater pretreatment device is arranged along the wastewater pretreatment channel. There are multiple sets of the device in the channel. There is flowing high turbidity wastewater in the channel. Water quality detection instrument and flow monitoring instrument are arranged on the upstream of the wastewater flow direction. Each set of the device includes anode iron screen, adjustable resistor, cathode module and trash screen. Slot is arranged on the side wall of the channel. The anode iron screen, the cathode module and the trash screen are inserted into the slot and contact with the high turbidity wastewater. The cathode module floats on the surface of the high turbidity wastewater and is connected with the slot through sliding and rotating. The anode iron screen is electrically connected with the cathode module through the adjustable resistor to form a primary battery circuit.

[0055] When the anode iron screen of the wastewater pretreatment device contacts with the high turbidity wastewater, the high turbidity wastewater will be used as electrolyte solution. Oxidation reaction occurs in the anode iron screen to generate coagulant containing iron ion, ferrous ion and iron hydroxide. The coagulant can coagulate and settle the suspended matter and macromolecular organic matter in the high turbidity wastewater to reduce the concentration of suspended pollutants. The main body of the cathode module is roller pressed cathode plate. The roller pressed cathode plate is made by laminating and rolling stainless steel mesh, conductive carbon powder and capacitive carbon powder. The stainless steel mesh is connected with the adjustable resistor through the wire. Oxygen in the air passes through the conductive carbon powder on the cathode module and then reduction reaction occurs at the stainless steel mesh.

[0056] The application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 The channel 1 without a wastewater pretreatment device is shown in FIG. 1. A pair of insertion slots are formed on the opposite side walls of the channel 1 from upstream to downstream, which are a first anode iron mesh insertion slot 121, a cathode module insertion slot 11, a second anode iron mesh insertion slot 122, and a trash screen insertion slot 13.

[0058] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the conductive strip 111 is arranged on the opposite side walls of the cathode module insertion slot 11. The conductive strip 111 extends to the top surface of the cathode module insertion slot 11. The conductive strip 111 on the opposite side walls of the cathode module insertion slot 11 is fixedly connected to the wall surface, is flatly attached to the wall surface, and protrudes from the wall surface. The conductive strip 111 on the top surface of the cathode module insertion slot 11 can be flatly attached to the top surface and protrude from the wall surface, or can be raised at an acute angle with the top surface. When the conductive strip 111 is raised at an acute angle with the top surface, it is convenient to connect the lead wire and align the conductive ring 231 to be inserted into the cathode module.

[0059] The conductive strip 111 is made of stainless steel.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 , the main body of the anode iron mesh 3 is an iron mesh, which is inlaid in a semi-enclosed frame formed by the two side frames and the bottom frame. The two side frames are inserted into the first anode iron mesh insertion slot 121 and the second anode iron mesh insertion slot 122.

[0061] The anode iron mesh is preferably 6mm×6mm or 10mm×10mm grid, and the iron wire diameter is 0.6mm-0.8mm. As long as the water passing area is large enough, it does not affect the normal flow of wastewater, does not cause water stagnation, and facilitates the passage of generated coagulation.

[0062] The main body of the trash screen 4 is a net body made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material. This material has corrosion resistance, good water permeability, and does not chemically react with water. The net body is inlaid in a fully enclosed frame formed by the upper, lower, left and right frames. The two side frames and the bottom frame are inserted into the trash screen insertion slot 13.

[0063] The trash screen 4 is preferably a 40-mesh screen, or a 30-mesh screen, which is beneficial to the capture of coagulation.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 , 3 and Figures 7-9 , the cathode module 2 is composed of a rolled cathode plate 21, a rotating shaft 22, and a rotating shaft end 23. The rolled cathode plate 21 is arranged on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft 22 is a closed hollow structure. A pair of lifting rings 24 are arranged on the surfaces close to the two ends of the rotating shaft 22. The lifting rings 24 are used to cooperate with the hook-shaped lifting rod at the front end to lift or lower the cathode module 2.

[0065] The rotating shaft 22 is fixed with a terminal post 221 on the circumferential surface, the terminal post 221 includes an A end above the surface of the rotating shaft 22 and a B end below the surface of the rotating shaft 22, the B end is electrically connected with the conductive ring 231 through the conductive wire buried below the surface of the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating shaft end 23, and the A end is used for electrically connecting with the wire 214. Figure 3 The dashed line indicates that when the buried cathode module 2 is manufactured, the conductive wire is buried below the surface of the rotating shaft (22) and the rotating shaft end (23) in advance.

[0066] The circumferential surface of the rotating shaft end 23 is fixedly connected with the conductive ring 231, the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft end 23 is provided with a groove, the groove width is matched with the diameter of the conductive strip 111, and the conductive ring 231 is embedded in the groove; the conductive ring 231 is made of stainless steel.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 After the cathode module 2 is inserted into the cathode module slot 11, the position relationship diagram of the conductive ring and the conductive strip, after the cathode module 2 is inserted into the cathode module slot 11, it is ensured that the conductive strip (111) and the conductive ring (231) are closely abutted.

[0068] Through the setting of the volume of the closed hollow cavity of the rotating shaft 22, the size and the weight of the cathode module 2, the cathode module 2 is floated on the water surface of the wastewater, and the surface is lifted and lowered with the change of the water level, and the lifting equipment is saved.

[0069] The cathode module 2 is inserted into the cathode module slot 11, when inserted, the rotating shaft end 23 at both ends is inserted into the corresponding cathode module slot 11 on the two side walls of the channel, the rotating shaft 22 and the roller pressing cathode plate 21 arranged on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 22 are located between the two side walls of the channel, and the conductive strip 111 on the cathode module slot 11 is matched with the groove of the rotating shaft end 23, the conductive strip 111 is abutted with the conductive ring 231, the flowing wastewater impacts the roller pressing cathode plate 21 to drive the cathode module 2 to rotate, the conductive strip 111 and the conductive ring 231 are slidingly connected, when there is current in the circuit, the conductive strip 111 and the conductive ring 231 are electrically connected.

[0070] Because of the uneven distribution of water in the channel, the flow rate of water is too fast, which leads to the fact that the coagulant containing iron ions, ferrous ions and iron hydroxide produced by the anode iron mesh 3 cannot fully contact and mix with the suspended solids and macromolecular organic matter in the high turbidity wastewater, reducing the coagulation effect; the rotating cathode module 2 can not only play a role in stirring the wastewater, but also slow down the flow rate of the water, so that the coagulant fully contacts and mixes with the high turbidity wastewater; the rotating cathode module 2 can also increase the oxygen content of the wastewater; in order to make sufficient oxygen contact with the cathode module 2 and have sufficient residence time, the rotating speed of the cathode module 2 cannot be too fast, and it is appropriate to rotate at a speed of 1-3 revolutions per minute; the end 23 of the rotating shaft is made of a friction-resistant material, such as hard rubber.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 4 , the roller-pressed cathode plate 21 includes a capacitor carbon powder 211, a stainless steel mesh 212, a conductive carbon powder 213 and a wire 214; the stainless steel mesh 212 and the wire 214 are electrically connected, and the capacitor carbon powder 211 and the conductive carbon powder 213 are wrapped in the middle of the stainless steel mesh 212, and the roller-pressed cathode plate 21 is formed by rolling, which can be rolled into different shapes according to actual needs, and the inside can be a single unit or a plurality of identical units integrated. If it is a plurality of identical units integrated, the wire 214 of each unit is respectively electrically connected with a total wire, and the total wire is electrically connected with the A end of the terminal post. The conductive carbon powder 211 functions to prevent water and allow air to pass through, so that the capacitor carbon powder 211 can fully contact with oxygen; oxygen can fully contact with the electrons transmitted from the anode iron mesh 3 and the hydrogen ions penetrated from the solution under the catalytic action of the capacitor carbon powder 211 to generate an oxygen reduction reaction.

[0072] The amount of coagulant produced by the anode iron mesh 3 is not suitable for being too much or too little, and the amount of coagulant should be adjusted according to the turbidity and flow rate of the high turbidity wastewater; the adjustable resistor functions to adjust the resistance value according to the water quality and flow rate of the high turbidity wastewater under the condition that water quality detection instruments and flow rate monitoring instruments are arranged on the upstream of the channel, control the anode reaction rate, and adjust the amount of coagulant.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a circuit diagram of a primary cell, and the adjustable resistor is electrically connected between the anode iron mesh 3 of the high turbidity wastewater and the roller-pressed cathode plate 21 to form a primary cell (the arrow in the figure indicates the direction of electron flow in the primary cell).

[0074] The components through which the electrons generated by the anode flow in sequence are: the anode iron mesh 3, the adjustable resistor, the conductive strip 111, the conductive ring 231, the pre-buried conductive wire, the terminal post 221, the wire 214 and the roller-pressed cathode plate 21.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6The circuit block diagram for generating electricity; the conductive strip 111 on the top surface of the cathode module slot 11 and the two anode iron meshes 3 are respectively electrically connected to the positive and negative input terminals of the controller; the controller is electrically connected to the battery; the battery is electrically connected to the inverter; the inverter is electrically connected to the switch; the switch is electrically connected to the electrical equipment; the primary battery charges the battery through the controller, and the battery supplies power to the electrical equipment through the inverter and the switch.

[0076] Each set of devices can be configured with a set of controllers, inverters and batteries, or multiple sets of devices can share a set of controllers, inverters and batteries. Embodiment 1:

[0077] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The roll-pressed cathode plate 21 of the embodiment is a rectangular flat plate, and a plurality of roll-pressed cathode plates 21 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential surface of the shaft 22. The width direction of the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 is consistent with the radial direction of the shaft 22, and is fixedly connected with the circumferential surface of the shaft 22. The length of the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 is slightly shorter than the axial length of the shaft 22.

[0078] The number of roll-pressed cathode plates 21 is determined according to the turbidity and flow of high-turbidity wastewater, the power consumption of electrical equipment, etc. However, in order to balance the rotation of the cathode module 2, there must be at least two roll-pressed cathode plates 21. In this embodiment, the number of roll-pressed cathode plates 21 is four.

[0079] The flat plate type roll-pressed cathode plate in this embodiment has the advantage of being easy to manufacture. Embodiment 2:

[0080] Please refer to Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that one end of the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 in the width direction is a straight plate, and the other end is a curved plate. The overall shape is an arc-shaped plate. Compared with the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 of Embodiment 1, the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 of the arc-shaped plate with the same flow rate, the same number and the same cross-sectional area generates a larger rotational torque than the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 of the flat plate.

[0081] When the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 is fixedly connected with the circumferential surface of the shaft 22, the straight plate end of the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 is fixedly connected with the surface of the shaft 22, and the bending directions of each roll-pressed cathode plate 21 are consistent.

[0082] In this embodiment, the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 is three.

[0083] Except for the above-mentioned differences, the rest is the same as Embodiment 1, which will not be described in detail. Embodiment 3:

[0084] Please refer to Figure 9The difference between the embodiment and the above two embodiments is that the outer shape of the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 is a curved plate spirally wound on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 22. The curved plate has the advantage that the coagulant and the suspended pollutants in the wastewater are not easily adsorbed on the curved plate to form coagulants.

[0085] In the embodiment, the roll-pressed cathode plate 21 is two.

[0086] In addition to the above differences, the rest is the same as the first embodiment, and will not be repeated.

[0087] In addition, as shown in Figure 2 , the trash screen 4 is a straight plate. In order to facilitate the removal of coagulants on the trash screen 4, it is better to use an arched trash screen 4.

[0088] The arched trash screen 4 is described in Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the arched trash screen 4 is installed in the channel 1, the convex direction of the arched trash screen 4 faces upstream of the wastewater flow direction. Part of the coagulants is driven by the water flow and flows along the arched surface to both sides close to the side wall of the channel 1, facilitating the regular salvage and removal of the coagulants by the management personnel using tools.

[0089] The zero-energy high-turbidity wastewater pretreatment method based on the device of the application comprises the following steps:

[0090] Step 1, installing the wastewater pretreatment device: the cathode module 2 is inserted into the cathode module slot 11; the first anode iron screen 3 is inserted into the first anode iron screen slot 121, and the second anode iron screen 3 is inserted into the second anode iron screen slot 122; and the trash screen 4 is inserted into the trash screen slot 13.

[0091] Step 2, circuit connection: the iron screen of the two anode iron screens 3 is electrically connected with the input end of the adjustable resistance; the wire 214 of the cathode module 2 is electrically connected with the output end of the adjustable resistance; the wire 214 of the cathode module 2 and the iron screen of the two anode iron screens 3 are respectively electrically connected with the positive and negative input ends of the controller; the controller is electrically connected with the storage battery; the storage battery is electrically connected with the inverter; the inverter is electrically connected with the switch; and the switch is electrically connected with the electric equipment.

[0092] Step 3, adjusting the working state of the device:

[0093] Step 3-1, detection: in the wastewater upstream of the channel, water quality detection instruments and flow monitoring instruments are arranged to detect the wastewater turbidity and obtain the wastewater turbidity value q; and the wastewater flow is detected to obtain the wastewater flow value Q;

[0094] Step 3-2, setting the resistance value of the adjustable resistance:

[0095] The resistance value of the adjustable resistance is set by using the detected wastewater turbidity q and flow Q to control the yield of the coagulant.

[0096] Step 4, wastewater treatment: wastewater flows through the anode iron net and the cathode module, high turbidity wastewater as electrolyte solution, so that the anode iron net connected by wire, adjustable resistance and cathode module form a closed primary cell circuit; The anode iron net side spontaneously generates a coagulant containing iron ions, ferrous ions and iron hydroxide, which can capture suspended solids and macromolecular organic matter in high turbidity wastewater, allowing it to coagulate and settle, and when the coagulation time is 3h, the settling effect is most sufficient, forming a coagulum;

[0097] Step 5, power generation: while treating wastewater, an oxygen reduction reaction occurs on the roller-pressed cathode plate side, the primary cell circuit generates electricity, and provides electrical energy to the electrical equipment.

[0098] Step 6, pollution blocking and cleaning: the coagulum is intercepted by the pollution blocking net; The pollution blocking net is regularly retracted and replaced, and the coagulum on the net is cleaned.

[0099] In step 3-2, the resistance value of the adjustable resistance is calculated by the following formula:

[0100] R=(U×0.5×MFe×t) / [(0.024×q×Q×t +8.133)×F]

[0101] In the above formula, U is the voltage between the two ends of the adjustable resistance (unit: V), 0.5 is the stoichiometric number (the electron stoichiometric relationship between Fe and Fe2+, 1 mol of electrons corresponds to 0.5 mol of Fe), MFe is the molar mass of iron (unit: 56 g / mol), t is the coagulation time (unit: s), q is the wastewater turbidity (unit: NTU), Q is the wastewater flow (unit: m / s) The wastewater flow is equal to the product of the wastewater flow rate and the cross-sectional area, and F is the Faraday constant (unit: 96485 C / mol). 3

[0102] When the coagulation time is 3h, the settling effect is most sufficient, so the hydraulic retention time is assumed to be t=3h, i.e. t=10800s, and further deduced as:

[0103] R=(U×5400×MFe) / [(259.2×q×Q+8.133)×F]

[0104] Therefore, only the wastewater turbidity and wastewater flow of the wastewater are required to set the resistance value of the adjustable resistance, so that the pollutants can be coagulated and settled efficiently.

[0105] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.​
