Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and in particular to an activated carbon filter backwash water recovery device and a recovery method. Background Art

[0002] Activated carbon filter backwash water recovery is an important water treatment technology that can effectively recover and reuse the wastewater generated during the backwash process of the activated carbon filter. The recovery method is to mix the backwash water with the raw water. The advantages of this recovery method are simplicity and reduced recovery costs. However, the activated carbon filter backwash water contains a large amount of microorganisms, organic matter and particulate matter. Direct mixing of backwash water with raw water may cause problems such as increased dissolved organic matter content in coagulated water and microbial leakage.

[0003] The existing technology generally filters the wastewater before mixing it with raw water. The conventional filtration mode is primary filtration-sedimentation-ultrafiltration, wherein the primary filtration step can filter out large particles of impurities in the wastewater, and the sedimentation step adds flocculants to the sedimentation tank to promote the aggregation of suspended particles and microorganisms in the wastewater to form flocs and settle to the bottom of the sedimentation tank. Ultrafiltration uses membrane separation technology, and the pore size of the membrane is usually around 0.01 microns, which can intercept small particles of impurities in the wastewater. The three steps work synergistically to ensure the quality of recycled water.

[0004] However, this filtering mode has the following problems:

[0005] 1. In the sedimentation step, the formation and sedimentation of floccules usually takes 1-1.5 hours, which results in the discontinuity of the entire filtration mode and the inability to form a continuously operating wastewater filtration system.

[0006] 2. During the ultrafiltration step, there are still a large number of small particle impurities in the wastewater. Long-term use of the ultrafiltration membrane can easily lead to clogging of the ultrafiltration membrane, especially when there are viscous impurities in the wastewater, the clogging problem of the ultrafiltration membrane is more serious.

[0007] In view of this, how to provide an activated carbon filter backwash water recovery device that can fully or partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems is an issue that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an activated carbon filter backwash water recovery device and a recovery method to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solution: The present invention provides an activated carbon filter backwash water recovery device, comprising:

[0010] A sedimentation cylinder, defining a sedimentation chamber therein;

[0011] A support column is vertically arranged in the middle of the precipitation chamber;

[0012] An auxiliary sedimentation plate is vertically arranged between the support and the inner side wall of the sedimentation cylinder to divide the sedimentation chamber into an inner chamber and an outer chamber, and the auxiliary sedimentation plate is made of a permanent magnet; the sedimentation cylinder has a first water inlet and a first water outlet connected to the sedimentation chamber, and backwash water can enter the inner chamber and the outer chamber from the first water inlet and flow upward, and floccules in the backwash water can be adsorbed on the front and back sides of the auxiliary sedimentation plate. When the backwash water flows to the top of the inner chamber and the outer chamber, the backwash water does not contain floccules and can flow out from the first water outlet.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] An auxiliary sedimentation plate made of permanent magnets assists in the adsorption of floccules during the process of backwash water moving from the first water inlet to the first water outlet. When the backwash water flows out from the first water outlet, the floccules are all settled or adsorbed on the front and back sides of the auxiliary sedimentation plate. Compared with the prior art, the sedimentation step time is greatly reduced, and the sedimentation process can be continuous, and the continuous operation of primary filtration-sedimentation-ultrafiltration can be achieved.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes: a flocculant delivery mechanism, which is arranged near the first water inlet and is used to deliver flocculants into the sedimentation chamber; the inner side walls of the support and the sedimentation cylinder are 10-15 cm away from the auxiliary sedimentation plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0017] The flocculant delivery mechanism is arranged near the first water inlet. When the backwash water enters the sedimentation chamber, it can be quickly mixed with the flocculant, so that the floccules can be fully coagulated in the early stage of sedimentation and completely coagulated when rising to the corresponding height of the auxiliary sedimentation plate, thereby ensuring that the floccules can be adsorbed on the auxiliary sedimentation plate.

[0018] In addition, the pillar is arranged in the middle of the sedimentation chamber, which reduces the radial width of the sedimentation chamber. The auxiliary sedimentation plate is vertically arranged between the pillar and the inner side wall of the sedimentation cylinder, and the auxiliary sedimentation plate is 10-15cm away from the inner and outer chambers. When the backwash water flows, it is located in the inner chamber and the outer chamber. The distance between the floccules and the auxiliary sedimentation plate is small, which can ensure that the distance between the floccules in the backwash water and the auxiliary sedimentation plate is close enough, which is conducive to the auxiliary sedimentation plate to quickly and comprehensively adsorb the floccules. The pillar limits the inner chamber and the outer chamber to the outside of the pillar. The inner diameter corresponding to the inner chamber and the outer chamber is larger, so the inner chamber and the outer chamber can ensure sufficient cross-sectional area to ensure the flow volume of the backwash water.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0020] A bottom plate, the auxiliary sedimentation plate is arranged on the bottom plate, the bottom plate is located above the first water inlet and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sedimentation cylinder.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0022] An inner cleaning ring adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the inner chamber and correspondingly arranged above the inner chamber;

[0023] An outer cleaning ring adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the outer chamber and correspondingly arranged above the outer chamber;

[0024] The long-axis cylinder is fixedly connected to the top surfaces of the inner cleaning ring and the outer cleaning ring, and is used for driving the inner cleaning ring and the outer cleaning ring to move up and down.

[0025] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0026] The auxiliary sedimentation plate is arranged on the bottom plate. On the one hand, the bottom plate provides a stable support effect for the auxiliary sedimentation plate. On the other hand, the arrangement of the bottom plate makes any position of the inner and outer surfaces of the auxiliary sedimentation plate within the cleaning range of the inner cleaning ring and the outer cleaning ring. When the long-axis cylinder drives the inner and outer cleaning rings to move downward, the flocs adsorbed on the inner and outer surfaces of the auxiliary sedimentation plate can be pushed to the bottom of the sedimentation chamber, completing the self-cleaning operation of the auxiliary sedimentation plate. At the same time, it also helps the flocs to gather at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber, which is convenient for centralized treatment later.

[0027] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0028] An ultrafiltration cartridge defines an ultrafiltration chamber therein;

[0029] A water inlet cylinder is arranged in the middle of the ultrafiltration chamber, the water inlet cylinder has a second water inlet and a second water outlet, the second water inlet is connected to the first water outlet, and the second water outlet is connected to the ultrafiltration chamber;

[0030] An ultrafiltration membrane is disposed between the water inlet cylinder and the inner side wall of the ultrafiltration cylinder;

[0031] A bubble flushing mechanism, connected to the air supply mechanism, is used to blow bubbles toward the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane;

[0032] A drain port is connected to the ultrafiltration chamber and is located above the ultrafiltration membrane; the backwash water enters the water inlet cylinder through the first water outlet and the second water inlet, flows downward along the water inlet cylinder and flows into the ultrafiltration chamber from the second water outlet, passes through the ultrafiltration membrane and is discharged from the drain port;

[0033] The sewage outlet is connected with the ultrafiltration chamber, and the connection point is close to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber.

[0034] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0035] Backwash water passes through the ultrafiltration membrane from bottom to top to realize ultrafiltration operation. Most of the impurities trapped can be separated from the ultrafiltration membrane by gravity and settle to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber, and some impurities are trapped on the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane. During the ultrafiltration process, the bubble flushing mechanism continuously blows bubbles to the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane. The bubbles can separate the trapped non-viscous impurities from the ultrafiltration membrane and then settle to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber. Compared with the existing technology, the self-cleaning function of the ultrafiltration membrane can be realized.

[0036] Furthermore, the water inlet cylinder and the inner wall of the ultrafiltration cylinder are spaced 15-20 cm apart.

[0037] The bubble flushing mechanism is used to use bubbles to flush the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane. Unlike other flushing media, bubbles have their own characteristics. Bubbles are greatly affected by water resistance when moving in water and cannot move horizontally over long distances. In order to ensure that the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane can be fully and comprehensively flushed, this application limits its width to 15-20cm to ensure that the bubbles output by the bubble flushing mechanism can fully cover all positions on the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane.

[0038] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0039] A self-cleaning mechanism, connected to the water supply mechanism, for spraying clean water onto the upper surface of the ultrafiltration membrane;

[0040] A sewage valve, arranged on the sewage outlet, for opening and closing the sewage outlet;

[0041] A drain valve is arranged on the drain outlet and is used for opening and closing the drain outlet.

[0042] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0043] The self-cleaning mechanism can realize the backwashing function of the ultrafiltration membrane when the sewage valve is open and the drain valve is closed, so that clean water passes through the ultrafiltration membrane from top to bottom, and the impurities trapped under the ultrafiltration membrane are further washed downward, thereby improving the self-cleaning effect of the ultrafiltration membrane.

[0044] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0045] A lifting mechanism, wherein the top outer edge of the water inlet cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the ultrafiltration cylinder through a connecting block, and the lifting mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the connecting block;

[0046] A clamp, arranged on the lifting mechanism;

[0047] The electric heating ring is arranged between the inner wall of the water inlet cylinder and the ultrafiltration cylinder and clamped on the clamp. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the electric heating ring to approach or move away from the ultrafiltration membrane. When the electric heating ring is close to the ultrafiltration membrane, the electric heating ring can heat the ultrafiltration membrane.

[0048] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0049] When there are sticky impurities in the backwash water, the sticky impurities can firmly adhere to the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane. It is difficult to separate the sticky impurities from the ultrafiltration membrane by relying on bubble flushing or clean water backwashing.

[0050] The present application heats the ultrafiltration membrane by an electric heating ring at a position close to the upper surface of the ultrafiltration membrane. After the viscous impurities are heated, the viscosity is generally reduced. At this time, bubble flushing or clean water backwashing can easily separate the viscous impurities from the ultrafiltration membrane, further improving the self-cleaning effect of the ultrafiltration membrane. Under normal conditions, the electric heating ring is moved by the lifting mechanism to a position away from the ultrafiltration membrane, which does not affect the backwash water flow and will not be corroded.

[0051] Furthermore, the clamp is a U-shaped ring, there are at least two lifting mechanisms and they are arranged on both sides of the water inlet cylinder, the top of the U-shaped ring is connected to the lifting mechanism, and the electric heating ring is welded in the through groove of the U-shaped ring.

[0052] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0053] Compared with other clamps, the U-shaped ring has a smaller contact area with the electric heating ring, which can prevent the clamp's own structure from hindering the heat exchange between the electric heating ring and the ultrafiltration membrane.

[0054] The present invention also provides an activated carbon filter backwash water recovery method, using the activated carbon filter backwash water recovery device, comprising the following steps:

[0055] S1: Backwash water enters the sedimentation chamber from the first water inlet, and the flocculant delivery mechanism delivers flocculant into the sedimentation chamber. The flocculant and backwash water are mixed to form flocs. The backwash water is divided into the inner chamber and the outer chamber, and flows from bottom to top along the height direction of the auxiliary sedimentation plate. After 10-15 minutes, the backwash water flows from the first water inlet to the first water outlet, and the flocs are all adsorbed on the front and rear sides of the auxiliary sedimentation plate or settled to the bottom of the sedimentation chamber;

[0056] S2: The backwash water enters the water inlet cylinder from the first water outlet and the second water inlet and flows downward, and enters the ultrafiltration chamber from the second water outlet; the backwash water passes through the ultrafiltration membrane from bottom to top to intercept the impurities and settle them to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber, and the backwash water is discharged from the drain port;

[0057] S3: The bubble flushing mechanism blows bubbles to the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane, so that the impurities trapped on the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane are separated from the ultrafiltration membrane and settled to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber;

[0058] S4: When sticky impurities adhere to the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane, the lifting mechanism moves the electric heating ring to a position close to the upper surface of the ultrafiltration membrane through the clamp, and heats the ultrafiltration membrane through the electric heating ring to reduce the viscosity of the sticky impurities; close the drain valve and the drain port, open the sewage valve to connect the sewage port with the ultrafiltration chamber, and the self-cleaning mechanism sprays clean water on the upper surface of the ultrafiltration membrane. The clean water passes through the ultrafiltration membrane from top to bottom to separate the sticky impurities from the ultrafiltration membrane and settle to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber.

[0059] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0060] 1. When the backwash water enters the sedimentation chamber, it quickly mixes with the flocculant to form flocs. The flow time of the backwash water from the first water inlet to the first water outlet is set to 10-15 minutes. When the backwash water flows to the first water outlet, all the flocs in the backwash water are adsorbed on the front and back sides of the auxiliary sedimentation plate or settle to the bottom of the sedimentation chamber. In combination with the primary filtration and ultrafiltration steps, the continuity of the primary filtration-sedimentation-ultrafiltration process can be achieved.

[0061] 2. Backwash water passes through the ultrafiltration membrane from top to top to achieve ultrafiltration. During the process, the bubble flushing mechanism blows bubbles to the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane, separating the impurities trapped on the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane from the ultrafiltration membrane and settling them to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber, reducing the impurities trapped on the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane.

[0062] 3. The electric heating ring can approach the upper surface of the ultrafiltration membrane and heat the ultrafiltration membrane. Combined with the bubble flushing mechanism and the self-cleaning mechanism, it can separate the sticky impurities from the ultrafiltration membrane, ensuring that the ultrafiltration membrane is not blocked during long-term use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0072] The existing technologies for recycling backwash water from activated carbon filters are as follows:

[0073] Patent application CN107445340A discloses an activated carbon filter backwash water recovery device and recovery method, which includes the following structure:

[0074] Flocculant dosing tank

[0075] The flocculant dosing tank in the device is responsible for loading flocculants, which is a key step in pre-treating the backwash water of the activated carbon filter to facilitate the subsequent treatment process.

[0076] Backwash water collection tank

[0077] The pool is the core part of the recovery system, and it has three main interfaces: backwash water inlet, flocculant injection port and collection pool outlet. The backwash water inlet is directly connected to the backwash water drain pipe of the activated carbon filter tank for receiving backwash water; the flocculant injection port is connected to the flocculant injection pool through a pipeline for adding flocculants; the collection pool outlet is connected to the water inlet of the ultrafiltration membrane pool for conveying flocculated water.

[0078] Ultrafiltration membrane pool

[0079] The ultrafiltration membrane pool is equipped with an ultrafiltration membrane assembly, and the top is provided with an ultrafiltration membrane outlet and an ultrafiltration membrane backwash inlet. The ultrafiltration membrane outlet is responsible for conveying the treated clean water to the clean water pool, while the ultrafiltration membrane backwash inlet is connected to the backwash outlet of the clean water pool through a backwash pump to form a cycle.

[0080] Ozone generator

[0081] The ozone generator is responsible for generating ozone and transporting it through pipelines to the ozone aeration disk in the ultrafiltration membrane pool for pre-oxidation treatment of water to improve water quality and reduce membrane pollution.

[0082] clear pool

[0083] The clear water tank is used to store water after ultrafiltration and ozone pre-oxidation treatment, which can be safely reused.

[0084] The activated carbon filter backwash water recovery method is as follows:

[0085] Collecting backwash water

[0086] One minute after the activated carbon filter backwash begins, the backwash water is collected because the initial backwash water contains a large amount of impurities and microorganisms and is not suitable for recycling.

[0087] Microflocculation treatment

[0088] The collected backwash water is subjected to micro-flocculation treatment in the backwash water collection tank by adding flocculants and stirring with a mechanical stirring device to promote the coagulation of suspended matter in the water.

[0089] Sedimentation treatment

[0090] The microflocculated water is allowed to settle to separate the agglomerated particles.

[0091] Ozone pre-oxidation

[0092] The supernatant after precipitation is subjected to ozone pre-oxidation treatment to further remove organic matter and microorganisms in the water.

[0093] Ultrafiltration

[0094] The supernatant after ozone pre-oxidation enters the ultrafiltration membrane assembly for ultrafiltration to remove smaller particles and microorganisms.

[0095] Water reuse

[0096] The effluent after ultrafiltration enters the clean water tank. The water quality meets the reuse standard and can be directly reused or used after further treatment.

[0097] It can be seen that the existing patent still uses the static sedimentation method in the precipitation step, and no ultrafiltration membrane self-cleaning mechanism is provided in the ultrafiltration step, which fails to solve the current problem.

[0098] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0113] The present invention also provides an activated carbon filter backwash water recovery method, using an activated carbon filter backwash water recovery device, comprising the following steps:

[0114] S1: After the initial filtration, the backwash water enters the sedimentation chamber from the first water inlet 101. The flocculant delivery mechanism delivers flocculant into the sedimentation chamber. The flocculant and the backwash water are mixed to form flocs. The backwash water is divided into the inner chamber 103 and the outer chamber 104, and flows from bottom to top along the height direction of the auxiliary sedimentation plate 4. After 10 minutes, the backwash water flows from the first water inlet 101 to the first water outlet 102 (this time can be controlled by controlling the flow rate of the backwash water entering the first water inlet 101). The flocs are all adsorbed on the front and rear sides of the auxiliary sedimentation plate 4 or settled to the bottom of the sedimentation chamber.

[0115] S2: The backwash water enters the water inlet cylinder 12 from the first water outlet 102, the fluid pipeline 14, and the second water inlet 1201 and flows downward, and enters the ultrafiltration chamber 1101 from the second water outlet 1202; the backwash water passes through the ultrafiltration membrane 15 from bottom to top to intercept the impurities and settle them to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber 1101, and the backwash water is discharged from the drain port 18;

[0116] S3: The bubble flushing mechanism blows bubbles to the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane 15, so that the impurities trapped on the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane 15 are separated from the ultrafiltration membrane 15 and settled to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber 1101;

[0117] S4: When sticky impurities adhere to the lower surface of the ultrafiltration membrane 15, the lifting mechanism 22 moves the electric heating ring 24 to a position close to the upper surface of the ultrafiltration membrane 15 through the clamp 25, and heats the ultrafiltration membrane 15 through the electric heating ring 24 to reduce the viscosity of the sticky impurities; close the drain valve, close the drain port 18, open the sewage valve to connect the sewage port 19 with the ultrafiltration chamber 1101, and the self-cleaning mechanism sprays clean water on the upper surface of the ultrafiltration membrane 15. The clean water passes through the ultrafiltration membrane 15 from top to bottom to separate the sticky impurities from the ultrafiltration membrane 15 and settle them to the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber 1101 (the water inlet valve at the first water inlet 101 can also be closed).

[0118] S5: When a large amount of flocs accumulate at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber, open the slag discharge valve to discharge the flocs from the slag discharge port; when a large amount of impurities accumulate at the bottom of the ultrafiltration chamber 1101, open the sewage discharge port 19 to discharge the impurities from the sewage discharge port 19.

[0119] Example 2

[0120] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the distances between the auxiliary sedimentation plate 4 and the inner wall of the support 3 and the sedimentation cylinder 1 are the same, which is 10 cm. After 15 minutes, the backwash water flows from the first water inlet 101 to the first water outlet 102 .

[0121] Example 3

[0122] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the interval between the inner side wall of the water inlet cylinder 12 and the ultrafiltration cylinder 11 is 15 cm.

[0123] The turbidity of the backwash water discharged from the first water outlet 102 in Examples 1 to 3 was tested, and the stratification of the sedimentation chamber was observed. The results showed that there were clear sediments at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber, obvious floccules were adsorbed on the front and rear sides of the auxiliary sedimentation plate, and the upper water body of the sedimentation chamber was clear. The turbidity of the backwash water discharged from the first water outlet 102 was significantly reduced.

[0124] The backwash water (which has the same source as the backwash water in Examples 1 to 3, i.e., backwash water from a certain activated carbon filter) was precipitated in a traditional sedimentation tank for 2 hours, and the turbidity of the outlet of the sedimentation tank was tested. The results showed that the turbidity was significantly reduced. Compared with the turbidity of the backwash water at the first outlet 102 in Examples 1 to 3, the turbidity difference was no more than 2%, which indicates that the embodiments of the present application can achieve continuous precipitation of backwash water.

[0125] The turbidity test data are as follows:

[0126] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Sedimentation tank Turbidity after precipitation 5.8NTU 5.76NTU 5.8NTU 5.78NTU

[0127] The ultrafiltration membrane 15 in Examples 1 to 3 was sampled and tested, and the results showed that there were no obvious impurities remaining on the upper and lower surfaces of the ultrafiltration membrane 15 after bubble flushing, heating by the electric heating ring 24 and backwashing by the self-cleaning mechanism, which indicates that the embodiments of the present application can achieve the self-cleaning function of the ultrafiltration membrane 15 and avoid clogging of the ultrafiltration membrane 15.
