Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of process circulating cooling water treatment, and in particular to an industrial circulating cooling water treatment system and method. Background Art
[0002] In urban water use, industrial water accounts for about 60-80% of the total water use, while industrial cooling water accounts for 70-80% of the total industrial water use. However, relevant data show that the average reuse rate of industrial water in my country is 40-50%. my country's urban industrial water consumption per 10,000 yuan of output value is 340 cubic meters. High water consumption and low reuse rate are prominent problems in the utilization of water resources in my country's industrial system. Saving industrial cooling water and making the maximum use of limited water resources are the top priorities of water conservation in the industrial field. The use of circulating cooling water technology is the main method of water conservation in the industrial field.
[0003] In the operation of industrial circulating cooling water systems, the concentration ratio is an important technical indicator for determining the status of the system. When using circulating cooling water treatment technology, when the concentration ratio reaches 2.0 times, more than 95% of fresh water can be saved compared with direct current water. In order to increase the concentration ratio of circulating water, the method of adding slow-release antiscalants is often used. In recent years, some companies have also adopted electrochemical methods. However, conventional technologies have many shortcomings. For example, the concentration ratio is low, usually around 3; the dosage is large, not only slow-release antiscalants need to be added, but also sulfuric acid needs to be added regularly to reduce alkalinity, as well as oxidizing and non-oxidizing bactericides; electrochemical treatment of circulating water has problems such as low removal rate, difficulty in removing the generated scale, complex structure, short maintenance cycle, large maintenance workload, and system paralysis and abandonment.

[0027] Corresponding to the aforementioned application function realization device embodiment, the present application also provides an industrial circulating cooling water treatment method and corresponding embodiments.
[0028] An industrial circulating cooling water treatment method comprises the following steps: S101, after the control system detects that the water volume in the circulating water pool meets the processable water volume, the control system controls the lift pump to transport cooling water to the electrochemical reaction tank; S102, start the scale resistance meter on the cooling water delivery main pipeline, convert electrical energy into magnetic energy through the scale resistance meter, continuously perform electrical-magnetic conversion, form an induction field in the water, prevent ions from forming scale, and slowly remove old scale; When the scale resistance meter is working, due to electromagnetic induction, electric-magnetic conversion is continuously carried out around the pipe, forming an induction field in the water, thereby preventing ions from forming scale. The scale resistance meter does not contact water, is not restricted by pipe materials, does not change the chemical composition, and does not interfere with other electronic equipment. The power supply is AC 220V, and the maximum power does not exceed 100W.
[0029] S103, after the circulating cooling water enters the electrochemical reaction tank, it enters the gap between the anode and cathode plates respectively, and electrolyzes the cooling water under the action of the DC electric field. The control system detects the pH value of the cooling water in the electrochemical reaction tank. After the electrolysis is completed, high-concentration alkaline water is formed on the cathode plate side, and the generated scale particles enter the sedimentation tank with the cationic water for precipitation, and high-concentration acidic water is formed on the anode plate side, and enters the circulating water tank for sterilization operation; Specifically, after the circulating cooling water enters the electrochemical reaction tank, it enters the gap between the anode and cathode plates respectively, and electrolysis of the cooling water is performed under the action of the DC electric field, including: Under the action of the DC electric field, the cooling water undergoes a hydrogen evolution reaction on the cathode region, separating the hydrogen ions in the bicarbonate and the hydrogen ions in the water. The reaction formula is: ; ; ; A large amount of active oxidizing substances, such as hydroxide ions, negative oxygen ions, chloride ions, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine and hypochlorous acid, are precipitated at the anode. The reaction formula is: ; ; ; ; The ions in the circulating water between the anode and cathode plates pass through the selective permeable membrane at the bottom of the composite membrane plate, forming high-concentration alkaline water in the cathode area and high-concentration acid washing water in the anode area.
[0030] Calcium and magnesium ions combine with negative ions near the cathode to produce scaling products such as calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide, causing scale to precipitate; the strong oxidizing substances produced near the anode kill the bacteria and algae in the circulating cooling water. The large amount of strong oxidizing substances in the anode water can have a very good bactericidal effect on the bacteria and algae in the circulating cooling water, replacing traditional bactericides and saving chemicals.
[0031] With the movement of cooling water, the fine scale particles contained in the alkaline water combine with the metal ions with flocculation effect released by the soluble metal on the upper part of the composite membrane plate to form large scale particles that are easy to precipitate. After the cathode water passes through the sedimentation tank, it returns to the circulating water tank; the flocculation process is that the metal electrode generates cations under the action of the electric field, which includes many physical and chemical phenomena when entering the water body. From the generation of ions to the formation of flocs, there are three consecutive stages: under the action of the electric field, the anode generates electrons to form "micro-flocculants" iron or aluminum hydroxide; suspended particles and colloidal pollutants in the water lose stability under the action of the flocculant; the destabilized pollutant particles and micro-flocculants collide with each other and combine into large flocs visible to the naked eye. Since the product of the electrolytic reaction in the electroflocculation process is only ions, no oxidant or reductant needs to be added, and no or little pollution is generated to the environment. It is an environmentally friendly water treatment technology.

The water inlet of the chemical backwash system is connected to the anode outlet pipe to store acidic water, clean the cathode of the electrochemical reaction tank, and return it to the circulating water pool after being neutralized with anionic water to complete the cooling water treatment.
8. The industrial circulating cooling water treatment method according to claim 7, characterized in that: After the circulating cooling water enters the electrochemical reaction tank, it enters the gap between the anode and cathode plates respectively, and electrolyzes the cooling water under the action of the DC electric field, including: Under the action of the DC electric field, the cooling water undergoes a hydrogen evolution reaction on the cathode region, precipitating hydrogen ions in the bicarbonate and hydrogen ions in the water; A large amount of active oxidizing substances, such as hydroxide ions, negative oxygen ions, chloride ions, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine gas and hypochlorous acid, are precipitated at the anode; The ions in the circulating water between the anode and cathode plates pass through the selective permeable membrane at the bottom of the composite membrane plate, forming high-concentration alkaline water in the cathode area and high-concentration acid washing water in the anode area. Calcium and magnesium ions combine with negative ions near the cathode to produce calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide scaling products, causing scale precipitation; strong oxidizing substances produced near the anode kill bacteria and algae in the circulating cooling water; With the movement of cooling water, the fine scale particles contained in the alkaline water combine with the metal ions with flocculation effect released by the soluble metal on the upper part of the composite membrane plate to form large scale particles that are easy to precipitate. After the cathode water passes through the sedimentation tank, it returns to the circulating water tank; The anode water returns to the circulating water pool to adjust the pH value of the circulating water pool, and achieve the purpose of anti-corrosion, sterilization and algae removal, realizing environmentally friendly circulating cooling water treatment.
9. The industrial circulating cooling water treatment method according to claim 7, characterized in that: The step of electrolyzing cooling water under the action of a DC electric field further comprises: The suspended matter in the cooling circulating water passes through the strong acid and strong alkaline environment inside the electrochemical reaction tank alternately, and the surface charge is destroyed and unstable, and it is deposited to the bottom of the reaction chamber and discharged during the flushing process of the chemical backwash system, thereby reducing the suspended matter in the cooling water.
