[0002] Hydroxyl coagulants are an important water treatment chemical widely used in the treatment of drinking water, wastewater and various water purification processes.

[0038] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0039] A hydroxy coagulant production process comprises the following steps:
[0040] S1. Material selection:
[0041] Organic components: chitosan, sodium alginate biomass-based materials;
[0042] Inorganic components: polyvalent metal salts such as aluminum salts, iron salts, and calcium salts;
[0043] S2. Dissolving metal salts: First, dissolve aluminum salts in an appropriate amount of water and adjust the pH value of the solution to 4.5-5.5 to ensure that the metal ions are completely dissolved;
[0044] S3, dissolving organic matter: in another container, dissolving chitosan and sodium alginate in an acidic aqueous solution, and controlling the pH value at 5-6;
[0045] S4. Synthesizing a complex: Mix the two solutions and slowly add an appropriate amount of alkaline solution under stirring, wherein the alkaline solution is a sodium hydroxide solution, and adjust the pH value to 6.5-7.5 to promote the complexation reaction between the metal ions and the organic matter;
[0046] S5. Precipitation and separation of flocculants: After the reaction, the obtained composite hydroxy coagulant is separated by filtration, centrifugation and sedimentation to obtain the final product;
[0047] S6. Drying and powdering: Dry the separated product at low temperature to obtain a powdered hydroxy coagulant.
[0048] Specifically, in the S1, material selection, in water with high heavy metal ion concentration, iron salt is selected as the inorganic group.
[0049] Specifically, in S2, when dissolving metal salt and aluminum salt, the solution temperature is controlled at 45° C.-50° C. and stirred at a medium speed of 300 rpm-500 rpm.
[0050] Specifically, the mixing temperature in the S4 synthetic composite is controlled at 20°C-30°C.
[0051] Specifically, the S5, the precipitation and separation of the flocculant, the sedimentation process time is 30 minutes to 60 minutes, the filter mesh number is 0.45 μm, and the centrifugal speed should be adjusted according to the particle size and density. Usually, a speed of 3000rpm-5000rpm has a better effect.
[0052] Specifically, it also includes the optimization of coagulant concentration, which involves determining the pollutant characteristics of different water qualities, determining the optimal concentration range through experiments, and predicting the impact of different concentrations on flocculation results.
[0053] Specifically, the pollutant characteristics of different water qualities are determined by using water quality monitoring instruments and laboratory analysis to obtain the pollutant concentrations in water samples, including suspended solids, grease, dissolved organic matter (COD), heavy metal ions (such as lead, cadmium, copper, etc.). At the same time, the pH value, turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), dissolved oxygen (DO) and other indicators of the water sample are measured to determine the specific type of water quality.
[0054] Specifically, the optimal concentration range was determined through experiments, and multiple concentration gradients were designed for experiments, from low concentration (such as 0.1 g / L) to high concentration (such as 5 g / L), with the interval gradually increasing (such as increasing by 0.5 g / L each time). During the experiment, the removal rate, sedimentation velocity, particle size and other indicators at different concentrations were recorded.
[0055] Different water samples can be used for comparative experiments in the laboratory, and the concentration of the coagulant in the experimental group can be adjusted according to the concentration and type of pollutants.
[0056] Sedimentation velocity and particle size test:
[0057] The flocculent settling rate at different concentrations is measured by sedimentation experiments (such as sedimentation test tubes or sedimentation tanks). The concentration with a faster settling rate corresponds to the optimal flocculant concentration.
[0058] At the same time, the size and shape of the flocs are analyzed by microscope or laser particle size analyzer. Larger flocs help to increase the settling speed and removal rate.
[0059] Implementation effect:
[0060] Gradient experiments can intuitively compare the specific effects of different concentrations on water quality improvement and determine the optimal concentration range.
[0061] By evaluating the removal rate, sedimentation velocity, particle size and other indicators, the concentration of the coagulant is optimized to ensure the best effect under different water quality conditions.
[0062] Specifically, the mathematical model is established to predict the effect of different concentrations on the flocculation effect:
[0063] Objective: To establish a mathematical model based on experimental data, predict the flocculation effect at different concentrations, and apply it to actual process design.
[0064] Optimization measures:
[0065] Data collection and analysis:
[0066] Collect key data in the experiment, such as removal rate, sedimentation velocity, floc size, etc. at different concentrations.
[0067] Regression analysis is performed on these data to establish a mathematical model between reaction rate and coagulant concentration. Commonly used models include first-order reaction kinetic models (such as Langmuir, etc.) and second-order reaction kinetic models.
[0068] Mathematical model establishment:
[0069] First-order reaction kinetic model: often used to describe the reaction process of pollutant removal. For example, assuming that the removal of pollutants follows the first-order reaction rate formula:
[0070]
[0071] Where C is the pollutant concentration and k is the reaction rate constant.
[0072] Concentration-removal rate relationship: Based on experimental data, a relationship between concentration and removal rate can be established, such as obtaining a correlation function between coagulant concentration and suspended solids removal rate through fitting.
[0073] Model validation and application:
[0074] Fit the experimental data to verify the accuracy and applicability of the model. If the model prediction results are highly consistent with the experimental results, they can be applied in actual production.
[0075] In the actual water treatment process, this model is used to predict the optimal coagulant concentration required under different water qualities to achieve efficient water treatment.
[0076] Implementation effect:
[0077] Through mathematical models, the concentration of coagulant required under different water quality conditions can be accurately predicted, reducing the number of experiments and improving production efficiency.
[0078] The application of this model can further reduce the excessive use of coagulant aids, optimize cost control, and improve treatment efficiency.
[0079] The invention discloses an application of a hydroxy coagulant aid, which is mainly used in water treatment and drinking water purification, industrial and urban sewage treatment.
[0080] Assume that the pollutant concentration in a water body is C pollutantThe initial concentration of coagulant added is C coagulant , the pollutant removal rate obtained after the reaction is R. According to the reaction kinetics, the pollutant removal rate R can be expressed as:
[0081]
[0082] Among them, C final is the concentration of residual pollutants in the water after the reaction.
[0083] Assuming that the reaction is first-order kinetics, the removal rate constant k of the pollutant is related to the coagulant concentration C coagulant There is a linear relationship between:
[0084] k=k0·C coagulant
[0085] Where k0 is a constant. Based on the above relationship and experimental data, the optimal concentration of the coagulant can be determined to optimize the preparation process.
