Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sludge treatment, and in particular to a flocculation-electroosmosis-solidification integrated sludge treatment method. Background Art

[0002] The traditional disposal methods of engineering waste sludge mainly include mud dumping and landfilling. Although they can handle a large amount of waste sludge, they have a series of problems such as environmental pollution, occupation of a large amount of land, long time consumption and high cost, which seriously violates the strategic goal of "green and low-carbon development" and has been gradually abandoned. The use of stabilization and solidification technology to effectively treat engineering waste sludge and use solidified waste sludge for embankment reinforcement, artificial island casting and roadbed filling not only avoids secondary pollution of dredged sludge, but also realizes the recycling of waste sludge. Therefore, stabilization and solidification technology has become the primary way to treat engineering waste sludge. General solidification technology uses the physical and chemical reaction of curing agents (such as cement, fly ash, alkali slag, flocculants, phosphogypsum, etc.) with water, clay minerals and pollutants in waste sludge to achieve the purpose of converting water, stabilizing pollutants and improving strength. It has the advantages of wide applicability and high construction efficiency. However, this single solidification technology faces two major problems when applied: ① The effectiveness of the curing agent is greatly reduced when it comes into contact with water, and the curing effect is not ideal; ② High-water content waste sludge requires a large amount of curing agent, and the treatment cost is too high. These problems have greatly restricted the application of single solidification technology in high-water content waste mud, and are the key technical bottlenecks that urgently need to be solved in the current engineering waste mud stabilization and solidification technology. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0004] The present invention provides a flocculation-electroosmosis-solidification integrated sludge treatment method, comprising:

[0005] (1) collecting sludge on site, filtering and removing impurities on the surface of the sludge to obtain pretreated sludge;

[0006] (2) Pour the pretreated sludge into a mixing barrel, add tap water at a constant speed in batches while stirring with a mixer until the required water content is reached; add flocculant into the mixing barrel, stir evenly, and let stand for 6 hours;

[0007] (3) filling the sludge obtained after dewatering in step 2 into an electroosmosis device for electroosmosis treatment, the electroosmosis time being 6-24 hours;

[0008] (4) Adding a solidifying agent to the sludge treated by flocculation and electroosmosis to ensure the formation of a stable bulk structure and reduce the release of harmful substances; performing a strength test on the formed bulk structure to ensure the formation of a stable bulk structure and obtain recyclable sludge.

[0009] Furthermore, the flocculant includes polyacrylamide and chitosan.

[0010] Furthermore, the polyacrylamide is 0.2% to 0.35% of the mass of the pretreated sludge; the chitosan is 1‰ to 2‰ of the mass of the pretreated sludge. Polyacrylamide and chitosan physically interact with the sludge particles through charge neutralization and the "adsorption and bridging" effect of long molecular chains, wherein the long chain structure is cemented with the soil particles in the sludge to form large aggregates, which allow the sludge particles to quickly flocculate into agglomerates, and the spatial structure between the sludge particles is changed through the flocculation effect, and the aggregates collide with each other and accelerate the sinking under the action of gravity. Both polyacrylamide and chitosan have flocculation effects, but their mechanisms of action are different. Polyacrylamide is mainly based on adsorption and bridging effects, while chitosan is mainly based on charge neutralization and adsorption and bridging effects.

[0011] Furthermore, the curing agent is a composite curing agent.

[0012] Furthermore, the curing agent includes carbide slag and wood ash.

[0013] Furthermore, the carbide slag accounts for 10% to 15% of the mass of the pre-treated sludge; and the wood ash accounts for 15% to 18% of the mass of the pre-treated sludge.

[0014] Furthermore, the electroosmosis device includes a soil sample tank, a water collection tank, an electrode plate and a DC power supply, the electrode plate includes an anode plate and a cathode plate arranged on both sides of the soil sample tank, and the anode plate and the cathode plate are respectively connected to the DC power supply through wires; the electroosmosis treatment refers to turning on the DC power supply to allow the water in the solidified sludge to flow from the anode to the cathode and be discharged.

[0015] Furthermore, when the soil sample tank is an indoor model box, a GW GPS3303c DC power supply with a limit value of 30V and 3A and a cross-sectional area of ​​1mm 2 of copper wire.

[0016] Furthermore, when the soil sample tank is an outdoor open space, a DC power supply with a limit of 240V and 1A and a cross-sectional area of ​​5mm 2 of copper wire.

[0017] Furthermore, the electrode plate is made of an iron electrode plate or a copper electrode plate with a size of 100 mm×100 mm.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) The present invention utilizes the charge neutralization and molecular long chain "adsorption bridging" effect of polyacrylamide, wherein the long chain structure is bonded with the soil particles in the sludge to form large aggregates, which collide with each other and sink faster under the action of gravity. Electroosmosis uses the electric field to drive ions to move in the soil, which helps to separate water and solid particles; in addition, the particle structure of the sludge changes, and larger pores are formed between the flocs, which is beneficial to the subsequent dehydration process. The sludge is solidified into a solid structure by adding a curing agent, reducing the adverse effects on the environment. By improving the particle structure and electrical properties of the sludge, the electroosmosis process is facilitated to proceed smoothly and the electroosmosis dehydration efficiency is improved; the electroosmosis process further compacts the flocculated flocs, promotes the discharge of water, and makes the curing agent more evenly distributed in the sludge under the action of the electric field, thereby enhancing the curing effect; the three work synergistically to significantly improve the effect and efficiency of sludge treatment.

[0020] (2) The polyacrylamide and chitosan in the present invention reduce the viscosity of the sludge and enhance its fluidity, thereby facilitating transportation and subsequent processing operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
