Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, and relates to a method for coagulation and flocculation sedimentation, in particular a method for coagulation and flocculation sedimentation treatment of wastewater by using an internal circulation fluidized bed. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coagulation and flocculation is an important step in the water treatment process, and the purpose is to coagulate the pollutants such as suspended solids, organic matter, heavy metal ions, etc. in water into larger particles through chemical reactions, so as to facilitate subsequent separation and removal. The coagulant generally uses aluminum or iron salts, and the flocculant generally uses high molecular polymers.
[0003] Both coagulation and flocculation are to coagulate pollutants into larger particles through chemical reactions and physical actions. Coagulation is to attract small particles and make them into larger aggregates through interaction forces, while flocculation is to make particles collide with each other in liquid phase through interaction forces to form larger particles, which are then removed by rising or sinking.
[0004] The coagulation and flocculation sedimentation treatment process can be divided into a coagulation stage, a flocculation stage and a sedimentation stage. The coagulation stage is rapid coagulation of the reagent and wastewater, and small alunite flowers are formed in a very short time, and the water flow is usually in a turbulent state. The flocculation stage is a stage in which the alunite flowers become larger and thicker, and appropriate turbulent state is required. The sedimentation stage is the process of flocculation settling, and slow water flow is required. In order to improve the sedimentation efficiency, inclined pipes or guide pipes are often used. The traditional coagulation and flocculation sedimentation reaction needs a coagulation tank for coagulation treatment, a flocculation tank for flocculation reaction, and a sedimentation tank for sedimentation reaction. The number of equipment is large, the land occupation is large, the treatment process is long, and the foreign countries have developed a reaction device with the functions of flocculation and sedimentation in one, but these products have the disadvantages of uneven water distribution, complex equipment, high investment cost, etc. SUMMARY
