Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of packing materials, and more particularly to a suspension packing material with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] While the rapid development of modern industrial technology has brought immense convenience to people, it has also exacerbated environmental degradation. In response to the increasingly severe environmental problems, strengthening wastewater treatment and raising emission standards are imperative.

[0003] In the biological contact oxidation method for wastewater treatment, a variety of suspended packing materials have been developed for wastewater treatment. However, most of them are made of plastic injection molding, but their surfaces are smooth and only serve to load the internal spongy packing material. Microorganisms have difficulty attaching and forming films on them.

[0004] The Chinese patent document with patent number "CN205500896U" discloses a suspended packing material for wastewater treatment, in which the outer shell of the packing material only serves a load-bearing function. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a suspension packing material with a self-cleaning function.

[0006] The innovation of this invention lies in the fact that the outer shell of the suspended filler is not only a carrier, but can also serve as a microbial carrier. Moreover, it is easy to detach after reaching a certain thickness, without clogging the pores and affecting the function of the internal spongy filler as a microbial carrier.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0008] A self-cleaning suspension filler includes spheres, each sphere comprising an upper hemisphere and a lower hemisphere, the upper and lower hemispheres being detachably connected. The spheres are characterized by comprising the following raw materials in the indicated mass fractions: polyethylene 68.8%-69.8%, ethylene and vinyl acetate copolymer 19.0%-19.5%, calcium sulfate 5.0%-6.0%, calcium carbonate 2.0%-2.5%, diatomaceous earth 1.6%-2.0%, activated carbon 0.8%-1.2%, colorant 0.7%-0.8%, and antioxidant 0.1%-0.2%.

[0009] Furthermore, the polyethylene is linear low-density polyethylene.

[0010] Furthermore, the vinyl acetate content in the ethylene and vinyl acetate copolymer is 5%-30%.

[0011] Furthermore, the activated carbon powder is composed of a mixture of wood-based activated carbon powder and coal-based activated carbon powder, with a weight ratio of wood-based activated carbon powder to coal-based activated carbon powder of 5 to 10:1.

[0012] Furthermore, the colorant is carbon black, iron oxide red, cyan iron blue, red iron blue, or iron oxide brown.

[0013] Furthermore, the antioxidant is at least one of butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, and tert-butylhydroquinone.

[0014] Furthermore, a first fixing chuck is provided on the outer surface of the upper hemisphere, and a second fixing chuck is provided on the outer surface of the lower hemisphere. The first fixing chuck and the second fixing chuck are fixedly connected by hexagonal screws. A blade structure is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first fixing chuck by screws. A bent portion is provided at the middle part of the blade structure. The upper surface of the blade structure is coated with a first smooth coating structure, and the lower surface of the blade structure is coated with a second smooth coating structure. The surface of the blade structure is provided with a streamlined curved surface structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the surface of the blade structure is provided with a first threaded slot, and the surfaces of the first fixing chuck and the second fixing chuck are provided with a second threaded slot.

[0016] Furthermore, the bending part is a flexible metal structure made of copper or aluminum that can be bent and deformed; the surfaces of the upper and lower hemispheres are provided with honeycomb groove structures, and microbial sponge block fillers are placed inside the upper and lower hemispheres.

[0017] Furthermore, the method for preparing the sphere includes the following steps:

[0018] (1) Take the materials according to the formula and mix them evenly to obtain the premix;

[0019] (2) Heat the premix to a molten state to obtain a molten material;

[0020] (3) Press the molten material into shape through a mold.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] 1. The suspended filler shell in this invention is not only a carrier, but can also serve as a microbial carrier. Moreover, it is easy to detach after reaching a certain thickness, without clogging the pores or affecting the function of the internal spongy filler as a microbial carrier.

[0023] 2. In this invention, linear low-density polyethylene with a density of 0.918–0.935 g / cm³ is used. 3The main structural material is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with a density of 0.935–0.947 g / cm³. 3 As an auxiliary framework material, the density of the suspension is controlled within the range of 0.96–0.97 g / cm³. 3 Its density is lower than that of water. During application, even after microorganisms adhere to the suspended packing material, its density remains less than that of water. Under the action of stirring or aeration, it can suspend in water, exhibiting excellent fluidity. Because linear low-density polyethylene is used as the main skeleton material, its surface tension is low. When microorganisms adhere to the suspended packing material to a certain thickness, they easily detach from the surface, giving the suspended packing material a self-cleaning function. Using ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer as an auxiliary skeleton material not only imparts excellent bonding properties during processing, enhancing the mechanical strength of the self-cleaning biological packing material for durability, but also significantly increases the adhesion and hydrophilicity between the suspended packing materials.

[0024] 3. The inorganic chemicals added in this invention, including calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and diatomaceous earth, significantly increase the hydrophilicity of the suspended packing material, which is beneficial to the aggregation of microorganisms.

[0025] 4. The addition of antioxidants in this invention greatly improves the anti-aging and anti-oxidation properties of the suspended packing, and extends the service life of the self-cleaning suspended packing.

[0026] 5. The suspended packing material made by mixing the components and their synergistic effect in this invention enhances the hydrophilicity of the biological packing material. During use, the suspended packing material and sewage can be in close contact, and activated sludge can easily adhere to the surface of the suspended packing material, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the packing material.

[0027] 6. In this invention, by installing multiple blade structures on the outside of the suspended ball packing structure and by designing and protecting the blades in a multi-functional way, the suspended ball packing can rotate better during aeration, and can easily and quickly remove the biological layer on the internal sponge block, thus achieving the advantages of good degradation effect and high sewage purification efficiency.

[0028] 7. In this invention, a bending part is provided in the middle of the blade structure. The tilt angle of the blade can be adjusted by manually bending the bending part to optimize the blade rotation effect.

[0029] 8. In this invention, by providing a smooth coating structure on both outer surfaces of the blade structure, the friction between the blade structure and the water flow during rotation can be effectively reduced, thereby accelerating the rotation speed. Attached Figure Description
