Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, and particularly relates to a device for recovering phosphorus from excess sludge. Background Art

[0002] To effectively recover phosphorus from sludge, it is necessary to release phosphorus in the sludge (solid phase) into the liquid phase as much as possible. The efficient release of phosphorus is a key step in phosphorus recovery.

[0003] The existing phosphorus release technologies mainly include:

[0004] ① Physical cracking method: By means of hydrothermal hydrolysis, ultrasonic waves, mechanical ball milling, etc., the microbial cells in the sludge are broken, and the phosphorus-containing substances inside and outside the cells are released into the liquid phase. Sludge hydrothermal hydrolysis needs to be carried out under high temperature and high pressure conditions (150 - 190°C, 0.7 - 1.1 MPa), and is usually used as a pretreatment process in combination with the anaerobic digestion process. The equipment is complex, the operation and maintenance are difficult, the investment and energy consumption are high, and the treatment of the malodorous gas generated is difficult. At present, there are only a few engineering application cases; although the ultrasonic cracking has high efficiency, short reaction time (10 - 60 min) and simple equipment, due to the too high power consumption, it is mostly in the laboratory research stage at present, and the actual engineering application needs to overcome the defect of too high power consumption.

[0005] ② Chemical cracking method: Adding chemical agents such as acids, alkalis, H2O2, ozone, etc. to the excess sludge to destroy the microbial cell structure and release the phosphorus-containing substances inside and outside the cells into the liquid phase. The acid-base cracking method has the characteristics of simple process and mature technology, but the existing methods of full-scale acid-base cracking of sludge or oxidation by H2O2, ozone, etc. have high chemical consumption costs and are still difficult to realize engineering application.

[0006] ③ Biological phosphorus release method: Phosphorus is released through anaerobic digestion or enzyme-promoted biological enhanced phosphorus release, etc. The enzyme-promoted biological enhanced phosphorus release technology has high chemical agent costs and is currently in the laboratory research stage; anaerobic digestion is the most widely used sludge disposal technology in engineering applications at present, with the advantages of mature technology and low operating costs. However, this method has a slow phosphorus release rate, a long required time (the sludge needs to be anaerobically digested for 20 - 30 days), a large volume of the reaction device, and high construction investment. If it is necessary to increase the anaerobic phosphorus release rate and shorten the anaerobic phosphorus release time, a sufficient amount of carbon source is required, while the available carbon source in the excess sludge discharged from the biochemical system has basically been consumed in the front-end biochemical system, and a large amount of carbon source needs to be added externally to meet the requirements.

[0007] ④Sludge incineration - wet leaching process: The sludge is dehydrated, dried and then incinerated into ash, and then acid and alkali are used to leach phosphorus. The phosphorus in the sludge incineration ash mainly exists in the form of being combined with metals such as Ca, Mg, Fe, and Al in the ash, and cannot be absorbed and utilized by plants. Moreover, the heavy metal substances in the sludge still remain in the ash after incineration, and it is necessary to separate the phosphorus from the heavy metals in the sludge ash and convert the phosphorus into a form that plants can use. The process flow is complex and the cost of phosphorus recovery is high.

[0008] ⑤Combined cracking method: Combined technologies such as hydrothermal hydrolysis - acid leaching, acidification - microwave radiation, ultrasonic - ozone, and ultrasonic - alkali hydrolysis are used to destroy the microbial cell structure in the sludge, and release the phosphorus - containing substances into the liquid phase. Compared with single technologies, the combined technologies can combine the advantages of various technologies, which is the development trend of the technology in this field.

[0009] Due to the high cost of existing sludge phosphorus release and phosphorus recovery technologies and equipment or the complexity of the system, the sludge from sewage treatment plants is mostly disposed of by direct landfill or incineration after being concentrated and dehydrated, and the phosphorus in the sludge is not recycled resourcefully.

[0028] Applying the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. The device for recovering phosphorus from excess sludge of the present invention comprises a sludge thickening unit, a sludge cracking unit, a sludge dewatering unit and a phosphorus recovery unit. The sludge thickening unit comprises a first body having a first accommodation cavity, and the first body is provided with an excess sludge inlet, a thickened sludge discharge outlet and a supernatant discharge outlet; the sludge cracking unit comprises a first housing, a first stirring assembly, a first sludge inlet pipe and a first sludge outlet pipe, and 10%-20% of the thickened sludge discharged from the thickened sludge discharge outlet is subjected to cracking treatment by the sludge cracking unit and then returned to the sludge thickening unit; the sludge dewatering unit comprises a second body having a second accommodation cavity, and the second body is provided with a second sludge inlet pipe, a second sludge outlet pipe and a sludge dewatering liquid output pipe; both the supernatant discharge outlet and the sludge dewatering liquid output pipe are connected to the phosphorus recovery unit for phosphorus recovery. The overall structure is concise. The present invention performs alkali cracking on 10%-20% of the thickened sludge, and then uses the COD (carbon source) released by the cracking as the carbon source for the polyphosphorus microorganisms (polyphosphorus bacteria) in the total amount of excess sludge entering the thickening tank. Anaerobic phosphorus release occurs in the anaerobic environment of the sludge thickening tank without adding an external carbon source. Through the new scheme of phosphorus release by alkali cracking of a small amount of thickened sludge + anaerobic biological phosphorus release of the total amount of excess sludge, low-cost and high-efficiency phosphorus release of the total amount of excess sludge is achieved.

[0030] 2. In the present invention, the sludge thickening unit is a gravity thickening tank, adopting a conventional gravity thickening tank in the prior art. When recovering phosphorus from the excess sludge of an existing sewage treatment plant, only a sludge cracking component (only cracking 10%-20% of the total amount of thickened sludge), a phosphorus recovery unit and a supporting control system need to be added, and the pipelines are correspondingly modified, then the high-efficiency phosphorus release of the sludge and the high-efficiency recovery of phosphorus resources of the existing sewage treatment plant can be achieved economically and conveniently.

[0031] 3. In the present invention, the sludge cracking unit comprises a first housing, a first stirring assembly, a first sludge inlet pipe and a first sludge outlet pipe, with a concise structure. Moreover, the equipment investment and operation cost (agent consumption, power consumption) of the sludge cracking unit are only equivalent to 10%-20% of the existing alkali cracking process for the total amount of sludge. The occupied area of the equipment can also be saved; the addition of the carbon source in the cracked sludge enables the anaerobic biological phosphorus release time of the sludge in the gravity thickening tank to be shortened to 6 hours, which is only 1 / 80 of the time required for the traditional sludge anaerobic digestion process (anaerobic digestion time is 20-30 days), greatly reducing the equipment investment and operation cost for sludge phosphorus release and phosphorus recovery.

[0032] 4. The phosphorus recovery unit in the present invention includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, a water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe, a discharge pipe, a perforated plate assembly, and an inclined plate assembly. The effects are as follows: ①. This phosphorus recovery unit makes full use of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the wastewater itself to achieve efficient hydraulic vortex crystallization, which is more energy-saving and has lower operating costs than conventional mechanical mixing crystallization; the integration of crystallization and precipitation separation makes the device structure compact and saves floor space. ②. An inclined plate assembly is provided in the water rising channel B, which increases the precipitation area of fine phosphorus crystal particles in the wastewater, shortens the precipitation time, and at the same time changes the water flow of the plate from a turbulent state to a laminar state, improving the recovery efficiency of phosphorus crystal particles in the wastewater.

[0064] Preferably, in this embodiment, the pH value in the sludge cracking unit 2 is controlled within the range of 10.8 to 11.5; the pH value in the pH adjustment unit 5 is controlled within the range of 9 to 10; after the sludge whose pH value is adjusted by the pH adjustment unit 5 meets with the excess sludge conveying pipeline 6, the flow-through time of the mixed sludge from the meeting point to the outlet of the excess sludge inlet 1.1 is not less than 3 seconds; the pH value in the phosphorus recovery unit 4 is controlled within the range of 9.5 to 10.

[0065] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the excess sludge is conveyed by the excess sludge conveying pipeline 6 to the excess sludge inlet 1.1 and enters the sludge thickening unit 1 for thickening treatment; the supernatant after thickening treatment is discharged through the supernatant discharge port 1.3 and enters the phosphorus recovery unit 4 for phosphorus recovery; the thickened sludge after thickening treatment is discharged through the thickened sludge discharge port 1.2, and a part of the thickened sludge enters the sludge cracking unit 2 through the first connecting pipeline G1 (a second flowmeter L2 and a first electric valve F1 are provided on this pipeline) for sludge cracking treatment, and further undergoes pH adjustment by the pH adjustment unit 5, and after being lifted by the lift pump T, it returns to the excess sludge conveying pipeline 6 through the fourth connecting pipeline G4 to be mixed with the excess sludge and then circulates to the sludge thickening unit 1; another part of the thickened sludge enters the sludge dewatering unit 3 through the third connecting pipeline G3 (a fourth flowmeter L4 and a second electric valve F2 are provided on this pipeline) for sludge dewatering treatment, and the flow rate ratio of the sludge in the two pipelines can be adjusted by controlling the first electric valve F1 and the second electric valve F2.

[0066] Apply the phosphorus recovery unit 4 of the invention. Its working process is as follows: Magnesium ammonium phosphate crystallization (struvite) is used to recover phosphorus in the liquid phase. In continuous flow operation, the pH in the phosphorus recovery unit 4 is controlled at 9.5 - 10. The supernatant from the supernatant discharge port 1.3 of the sludge thickening unit 1 and the sludge dewatering liquid output from the sludge dewatering liquid output pipe 3.4 of the sludge dewatering unit 3 are mixed to form wastewater containing orthophosphate. After being mixed with the medicaments (the medicaments are magnesium salts, ammonium salts, and alkalis) in the pipeline mixer H, it enters the cylinder body 4.2 of the phosphorus recovery unit 4 through the water inlet pipe 4.3 (specifically: it overflows from the end of the water inlet pipe 4.3 to form a hydraulic jump and mixes into the upper part of the water flow descending channel A in the inner cylinder body 4.2.1). The orthophosphate in the influent water and the crystal-forming ions (magnesium ions, ammonium ions) in the medicaments contact and mix under the action of the hydraulic jump to form magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals (crystal nuclei). The wastewater flows through the perforated plate assembly 4.6 in sequence in the water flow descending channel A under the action of gravity to reach the bottom of the water flow descending channel A. When flowing through the perforated plate, micro-vortices are formed at both ends of the round hole channel. The orthophosphate that has not formed crystals in the wastewater and the crystal-forming ions (magnesium ions, ammonium ions) in the medicaments contact and mix under the action of the vortices to continue forming magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals. The fine crystals further grow. The water flow and the tiny crystal particles slowly flow upward from the bottom outlet of the water flow descending channel A into the water flow ascending channel B under the action of gravity. The crystal particles with larger particle sizes sink into the crystal aggregation area C under the action of gravity. The wastewater flowing into the wastewater ascending channel flows through the inclined plate assembly 4.7 during the ascending process. The tiny crystal particles precipitate on the inclined plate assembly and sink to the crystal aggregation area C. The clarified wastewater overflows to the water outlet channel 4.8 located in the upper part of the outer cylinder body 4.1.1, and then flows out through the water outlet pipe 4.4 to the next sewage treatment unit. The struvite crystals precipitated in the crystal aggregation area are regularly discharged to a separately provided dehydration and separation device through the discharge pipe 4.5.

[0067] Apply the phosphorus recovery unit 4 of this embodiment. The effects are as follows: ① The invention makes full use of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the wastewater itself to achieve efficient hydraulic vortex crystallization, which is more energy-saving and has lower operating costs than conventional mechanical mixing crystallization; the crystallization and precipitation separation are integrated, and the device structure is compact, saving floor space. ② The inclined plate assembly is provided in the water flow ascending channel B, increasing the precipitation area of the fine phosphorus crystal particles in the wastewater, shortening the precipitation time, and at the same time, the water flow of the plate changes from a turbulent state to a laminar state, improving the recovery efficiency of the phosphorus crystal particles in the wastewater.

[0068] In addition, a control system is provided in this embodiment. The control system consists of on-line detection instruments, cables, and an electric control cabinet containing a programmable logic controller (PLC). The on-line detection instruments include a first flowmeter L1 arranged on the surplus sludge conveying pipeline 6, a second flowmeter L2 arranged on the first connecting pipeline G1, a third flowmeter L3 arranged on the pipeline connected to the supernatant discharge port 1.3, a fourth flowmeter L4 arranged on the third connecting pipeline G3, an orthophosphate on-line detector P1 arranged near the supernatant discharge pipe, a pH value on-line detector P2 arranged in the phosphorus recovery unit, a first pH controller A6 and a second pH controller B6 arranged in the sludge cracking component; the cables and the electric control cabinet containing a programmable logic controller (PLC) both adopt existing mature equipment, which can supply power to the on-line detection instruments and communicate with the on-line detection instruments. The PLC controls the operation of external dosing equipment and other equipment according to the data detected by the on-line monitoring instruments and the preset control logic.

[0069] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment specifically is as follows:

[0070] The surplus sludge rich in phosphorus (Q_surplus, water content 99.2%) discharged from the sewage treatment biochemical system is mixed with the cracked sludge (Q_cracked after) whose pH has been adjusted by the pH adjustment unit 5 and discharged from the sludge cracking unit 2 through the surplus sludge conveying pipeline 6 and then enters the sludge thickening unit 1. The surplus sludge rich in phosphorus undergoes sludge thickening in the sludge thickening unit 1 under the action of the carbon source provided by the cracked sludge and simultaneously undergoes anaerobic biological phosphorus release effect, releasing the phosphorus in the solid phase into the liquid phase. The low-phosphorus sludge after thickening and biological phosphorus release is discharged from the bottom of the gravity thickening tank. A part of the thickened sludge (Q_cracked) enters the sludge cracking unit 2 through the first connecting pipeline G1 for sludge cracking, and the sludge (Q_cracked after) after cracking enters the pH adjustment unit 5 for pH adjustment and then all returns to the sludge thickening unit 1; another part of the thickened sludge (Q_dewatering) is discharged into the sludge dewatering unit 3 through the third connecting pipeline G3 for dewatering treatment. In this embodiment, the flow rate or mass ratio of the total amount of sludge entering the sludge cracking unit to the thickened sludge is Q_cracked:(Q_cracked + Q_dewatering)=0.2; the high-concentration phosphorus-containing supernatant generated by the sludge thickening unit 1 is discharged into the phosphorus recovery unit 4 to recover phosphorus; the sludge dewatering liquid generated by the sludge dewatering unit is mixed with the supernatant of the sludge thickening unit and then discharged into the phosphorus recovery unit 4 together for phosphorus recovery, and the dry sludge is transported out for disposal; the low-phosphorus water discharged from the phosphorus recovery unit can be returned to the biochemical tank at the front end of the sewage treatment system.

[0071] In this embodiment, after the sludge is cracked by alkali, substances such as COD (carbon source), ammonia nitrogen, organic nitrogen, orthophosphate, and organic phosphorus are released into the aqueous phase and converted into cracked sludge (Q after cracking). The test data of the main components of the sludge before concentration (Q remaining) and after cracking (Q after cracking) are shown in Table 1. The mass of the cracked sludge (Q after cracking) is equal to the sum of the mass of the concentrated sludge (Q cracked) and the masses of the alkali and acid reagents added during the cracking process. The cracked sludge (Q after cracking) is discharged into the inlet of the gravity thickening tank. The sludge cracking step in this embodiment simultaneously achieves five technical effects:

[0072] ① It realizes the phosphorus release from the sludge during cracking for the residual phosphorus in the sludge, releases orthophosphate from the solid phase to the liquid phase, and creates conditions for the subsequent phosphorus recovery unit to recover phosphorus;

[0073] ② The high-concentration COD (carbon source) released by the sludge cracking returns to the sludge thickening tank and serves as the carbon source for the anaerobic biological phosphorus release of the excess sludge, eliminating the need for additional external carbon source, achieving "treating waste with waste", and saving the cost of sludge phosphorus release;

[0074] ③ The sludge cracking releases ammonia nitrogen, reducing the dosage of reagents such as ammonium salts (such as ammonium chloride) added in the subsequent phosphorus recovery unit to recover struvite, and further saving the cost of phosphorus recovery;

[0075] ④ After the sludge is cracked, its dewatering performance can be improved, reducing the dosage of sludge dewatering agents in the subsequent sludge dewatering unit, which is beneficial to enhancing the treatment efficiency of the subsequent sludge dewatering unit and reducing the cost of sludge dewatering;

[0076] ⑤ The cracked sludge is adjusted to a pH of 9 - 9.5 by adding acid in the pH adjustment unit 5. After mixing with the excess sludge (Q remaining), in this solution, the pH of the mixed sludge entering the sludge thickening tank can be between 8 - 8.5, forming a suitable pH condition for anaerobic biological phosphorus release in the sludge thickening tank.

[0077] Table 1 Main components of the sludge before and after concentration

[0078]

[0079] Note: In the table, the concentration of the sludge before concentration (Q remaining, referring to the excess sludge entering the sludge thickening unit through the excess sludge conveying pipeline 6) MLSS = 8 g / L, and the concentration of the sludge after concentration and cracking (Q after cracking) MLSS = 20 g / L. In this embodiment, the volume of the sludge after concentration and cracking (Q after cracking) is only about 8% of the volume of the excess sludge Q remaining entering the sludge thickening tank. The component data of the sludge are all measured by centrifuging the sludge and taking the supernatant.

[0080] The surplus sludge before concentration (Q_surplus) and the cracked sludge (Q_cracked) are mixed before entering the sludge thickening unit 1 and then enter the sludge thickening unit 1. Compared with the conventional gravity thickening process, in addition to achieving the physical thickening effect of sludge in the sludge thickening unit 1, the following technical effects are also achieved in this embodiment:

[0081] ① The surplus sludge (Q_surplus) and the cracked sludge (Q_cracked) are mixed before entering the sludge thickening unit. The mixing process and the pipeline transportation process enable the microorganisms in the surplus sludge (Q_surplus) to rapidly adsorb the organic components in the cracked sludge (Q_cracked), creating conditions for the microorganisms to further absorb the adsorbed organic matter into the microbial cells in the thickening tank, overcoming the defect of low mass transfer efficiency between the organic matter and the microbial cells caused by small fluid disturbance in the sludge thickening tank, and enabling more organic components in the cracked sludge to enter the microbial cells in the surplus sludge to achieve anaerobic phosphorus release;

[0082] ② The phosphorus-rich microorganisms in the surplus sludge (such as polyphosphate-accumulating organisms) release the phosphorus in the cells into the water (in the form of orthophosphate, PO4 3- ) under the anaerobic conditions in the sludge thickening unit 1 under the action of the COD (carbon source) provided by the cracked sludge, achieving anaerobic biological phosphorus release from all the surplus sludge. The concentration of orthophosphate (PO4 3- , calculated as phosphorus) in the supernatant after thickening treatment can reach 50 - 60 mg / L, creating conditions for subsequent phosphorus recovery;

[0083] ③ The organic nitrogen and organic phosphorus contained in the cracked sludge are converted into ammonia nitrogen and orthophosphate (PO4 3- ) under the action of the anaerobic environment in the sludge thickening tank and the anaerobic microorganisms in the surplus sludge. The conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia nitrogen can save the dosage of ammonia nitrogen agents in the subsequent phosphorus recovery unit, and the conversion of organic phosphorus into orthophosphate can further improve the phosphorus recovery efficiency (organic phosphorus cannot be recovered by struvite crystallization).

[0084] The test data of the main components of the sludge before thickening, the inlet of the sludge thickening unit, and the supernatant of the outlet of the sludge thickening unit are shown in Table 2. This embodiment has a significant effect on sludge phosphorus release, and most of the phosphorus exists in the form of orthophosphate and can be recovered by the subsequent phosphorus recovery unit 4.

[0085] Table 2 Main components of the sludge before thickening, the inlet of the sludge thickening tank, and the outlet of the sludge thickening tank

[0086]

[0087] Note: In the table, the sludge concentration MLSS before sludge thickening (Q remaining, referring to the excess sludge entering the sludge thickening unit through the excess sludge conveying pipeline 6) is 8 g / L. The data before sludge thickening are the data measured by centrifuging the sludge and taking the supernatant; the sludge concentration of the mixed liquid at the inlet of the sludge thickening tank is approximately 8.8 g / L. In this embodiment, the volume of the thickened sludge is 40% of the volume of the sludge before thickening (Q remaining). The proportion of the thickened sludge (Q cracking) entering the cracking unit in the total volume of the thickened sludge (Q cracking + Q dewatering) is 20%. The reagent NaOH added to the sludge cracking unit is added in solid form. The density of the sludge after cracking is similar to the density of the sludge before cracking (Q cracking). The volume of the sludge after cracking (Q after cracking) accounts for 8% of the volume of the sludge before sludge thickening (Q remaining); the composition of the mixed liquid at the inlet of the sludge thickening tank is measured by taking the supernatant obtained by centrifuging the mixed liquid.

[0088] In this embodiment, the phosphorus recovery unit 4 uses magnesium ammonium phosphate crystallization (struvite) to recover phosphorus in the liquid phase. The wastewater containing orthophosphate from the sludge thickening unit 1 and the sludge dewatering unit 3 is mixed with reagents (the reagents are magnesium chloride, ammonium chloride, and sodium hydroxide) in the pipeline mixer H and then enters the phosphorus recovery unit 4. The dosing amounts of the magnesium chloride and ammonium chloride reagents are determined according to Mg:NH 4+ :P = 1.3:1.3:1 (molar ratio), and the pH of the crystallization reaction is controlled at 9.5 - 10. In this embodiment, the recovery rate of orthophosphate by the phosphorus recovery unit is greater than 80%, and the recovered product is struvite. The low-phosphorus liquid discharged from the phosphorus recovery unit can be returned to the biochemical tank at the front end of the sewage treatment system.

[0089] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0090] First, all existing sludge cracking and phosphorus release technologies use cracking of the total amount of excess sludge. In this embodiment, only 10% - 20% of the thickened sludge needs to be cracked with alkali, and then the COD (carbon source) released by its cracking is used as the carbon source for the polyphosphorus microorganisms (polyphosphorus bacteria) in the total amount of excess sludge entering the thickening tank. Anaerobic phosphorus release occurs in the anaerobic environment of the sludge thickening tank without adding an external carbon source. Through the new scheme of a small amount of thickened sludge alkali hydrolysis and phosphorus release + anaerobic biological phosphorus release of the total amount of excess sludge, low-cost and high-efficiency phosphorus release of the total amount of excess sludge is achieved. In this embodiment, the equipment investment and operating costs (reagent consumption, power consumption) of the sludge cracking unit are only equivalent to 10% - 20% of the existing total sludge alkali hydrolysis and phosphorus release process, and the equipment floor area can also be saved; the addition of the carbon source in the cracked sludge enables the anaerobic biological phosphorus release time of the sludge in the gravity thickening tank to be shortened to 6 h, which is only 1 / 80 of the time required for the traditional sludge anaerobic digestion process (anaerobic digestion time 20 - 30 d), greatly reducing the equipment investment and operating costs for sludge phosphorus release and phosphorus recovery.

[0091] II. In the existing physical phosphorus release by cracking (ultrasonic wave, hydrothermal hydrolysis, mechanical ball milling) and chemical phosphorus release by cracking (acid, alkali) technologies, a part of the phosphorus and nitrogen elements released into the liquid phase exist in the forms of organic phosphorus and organic nitrogen. It is difficult to recycle organic phosphorus. In this embodiment, the sludge after chemical cracking is returned to the thickening tank. Under the action of the anaerobic environment in the thickening tank and anaerobic bacteria in the excess sludge, the organic phosphorus and organic nitrogen released during the cracking process are converted into orthophosphate and ammonia nitrogen that can be recycled by the subsequent phosphorus recovery unit, which can further improve the phosphorus recovery rate and reduce the chemical cost of adding ammonia nitrogen to the phosphorus recovery unit.

[0092] III. At present, most urban sewage treatment plants in China adopt the technical route of sludge gravity thickening + sludge dewatering for excess sludge, and sludge thickening tanks and sludge dewatering facilities have been built. In this embodiment, the sludge thickening unit adopts an existing conventional gravity thickening tank. When recovering phosphorus from the excess sludge of an existing sewage treatment plant, only a sludge cracking unit, a pH value adjustment unit, a phosphorus recovery unit, and a control system need to be added, and the pipeline needs to be correspondingly modified, then the sludge phosphorus resource recovery of the existing sewage treatment plant can be economically and conveniently realized.

[0093] IV. The phosphorus recovery unit in this embodiment includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, a discharge pipe, a perforated plate assembly, and an inclined plate assembly. The effects are as follows: ①. This phosphorus recovery unit makes full use of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the wastewater itself to achieve efficient hydraulic vortex crystallization, which is more energy-saving and has a lower operating cost than conventional mechanical stirring crystallization; crystallization and precipitation are integrated, and the device structure is compact, saving floor area; ②. There are multiple perforated plate assemblies with different porosities in the water flow descending channel A. The perforated plates with different porosities can form micro-vortices with different intensities when the wastewater flows through, so that the wastewater realizes hydraulic classification during the flow process, enabling the orthophosphate in the solution to fully contact and mix with the crystal-forming ions (Mg 2+ , NH4 + ions) and making the crystal particles present a fluidized state, and self-induced crystallization can be achieved without adding external crystal seeds; ③. There is an inclined plate assembly in the water flow ascending channel B, which increases the precipitation area of fine phosphorus crystal particles in the wastewater, shortens the precipitation time, and at the same time the water flow of the plate changes from a turbulent state to a laminar state, improving the recovery efficiency of phosphorus crystal particles in the wastewater.

[0094] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
