Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of environmental protection, and particularly relates to a water treatment chemical dosing method and a chemical dosing system based on floc detection. Background Art

[0002] In the coagulation sedimentation process, the key to water quality purification lies in the destabilization of colloids and the formation of flocs. Colloidal particles repel each other due to the negatively charged surface, forming a stable suspension system. By adding coagulants (such as Al³⁺, Fe³⁺), the surface charge can be neutralized, causing the colloids to destabilize and aggregate. Coagulation sedimentation is divided into three stages: coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. In the coagulation stage, the coagulant neutralizes the surface charge of the colloid, reducing the Zeta potential and destabilizing it; in the flocculation stage, the destabilized colloidal particles collide and combine to form visible flocs, which is affected by factors such as hydraulic conditions, bridging action, and sweep flocculation; in the sedimentation stage, the gravity sedimentation of the flocs and the solid-liquid separation are achieved.

[0003] Flocs are composed of destabilized colloids, hydrolysis products of coagulants, etc., and have a porous network structure, which can further adsorb pollutants. It is necessary to optimize by adjusting to the optimal range or selecting a suitable chemical combination. In addition, monitoring and evaluation methods such as Zeta potential, turbidimeter, floc imaging analysis, and sedimentation rate test are also needed to optimize the operation plan in real time to achieve efficient and low-cost solid-liquid separation. In summary, the destabilization of colloids and the formation of flocs are the core of coagulation sedimentation, and it is necessary to comprehensively control water quality conditions, chemical selection, and hydraulic parameters.

[0004] The coagulation effect has a decisive impact on the subsequent process control. Achieving effective coagulant dosing control can minimize chemical consumption and improve the effluent water quality on the basis of ensuring the optimal dosing amount. However, as the core link of water treatment, coagulant dosing has always been a major challenge in the water production field due to its inherent large lag and nonlinear characteristics. Traditional control methods, such as mathematical model method, streaming current method, simulated filter bed method, etc., have not been widely used due to their respective defects and insufficient reliability. For example, most water plants still adopt a control strategy based on the influent water flow, combined with manual observation of the floc morphology and the turbidity at the outlet of the sedimentation tank to evaluate the dosing effect, mainly relying on the flow ratio to control the dosage of the coagulant. However, this method cannot achieve precise control and real-time monitoring of water quality. The fixed-programmed flow ratio automatic control system, whose test results only reflect the water quality conditions at the sampling moment, has discontinuity and lag in the determined coagulant dosage, making it difficult to achieve optimization and precise control.

[0005] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, especially the wide application of deep learning, underwater particulate matter imaging technology and computer artificial intelligence control provide new ideas for the intelligent control of coagulant dosing. The application of deep convolutional neural network models in fields such as image recognition and object monitoring has been quite mature. It can extract the texture features of floc images for recognition, and through steps such as threshold segmentation and morphological processing, screen out the main image features for standardization processing, and then combine machine learning algorithms such as SVM, BP neural network, and GRNN to judge the alum dosage. However, this method highly depends on high-quality images, is vulnerable to external factors such as light and noise interference, and the feature extraction may not be comprehensive enough. The generalization ability of the machine learning model is also limited, and the response speed of real-time monitoring is relatively slow. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0021] Example 1: A water treatment dosing method based on floc detection, as Figure 2 shown, includes the following steps: (1) Real-time monitoring of the equivalent parameters of the floc morphology; (2) Deriving the van der Waals force between floc particles according to the equivalent parameters of the floc morphology; (3) Deriving the Zeta potential according to the van der Waals force; (4) Determining the current relative concentration of metal ions according to the Zeta potential; (5) Optimize the amount of chemical addition according to the relative concentration of current metal ions.

[0022] Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the steps for real-time monitoring of the equivalent parameters of floc morphology include the following: 1) Construct a basic floc measurement model - a floc absorbance detection model with a monochromatic light source; 2) Obtain three-dimensional space scan data and construct a floc spatial concentration field model; 3) Construct the floc structure and adapt the light source wavelength for multi-band measurement according to the floc structure; 4) Construct a floc equivalent concentration field model according to the floc equivalent concentration corresponding to different light source wavelengths; 5) Extract the boundary of the floc geometry based on the concentration threshold τ and determine the equivalent parameters of the floc morphology.

[0023] Preferably, the derivation of the van der Waals force between floc particles specifically includes the following steps: Basic theory: The stability theory of lyophobic colloids is generally known as the DLVO theory. Colloidal particles are attracted to each other by the van der Waals force. When they approach, the double electric layers overlap and generate repulsion. The stability of the colloid depends on the relative magnitudes of the two. This theory calculates the variation of the attractive energy and repulsive energy between particles of different shapes with distance. If the repulsive energy is greater than the attractive energy at a certain distance, the colloid is stable; if the attraction is always greater than the repulsion, the colloid coagulates. When the ion concentration or the valence number of counterions in the solution increases, the van der Waals force remains basically unchanged, the repulsive energy of the double electric layer decreases, and the stability of the colloid decreases until coagulation. According to the dynamic DLVO model theory, the colloidal force field is derived from the dynamic morphology data. Therefore, it is set that: 1. Equivalent the morphology of the floc to spherical particles; 2. Neglect the influence of Brownian motion and fluid shear on the mechanics of the floc in the derivation model; 3. The Hamaker constant is affected by the ionic strength of the solution; Then the van der Waals force is derived according to the equivalent parameters of the floc morphology as:

[0024] Where: F vdW : The van der Waals force acting between floc particles; r i and r j are the equivalent radii of floc particle i and floc particle j respectively; h : The equivalent distance between the surfaces of adjacent floc particles, obtained from the spatial positions of adjacent flocs; A: Hamaker constant:

[0025] Wherein: A 0 : The Hamaker constant in the pure solvent is obtained experimentally; α : Ion shielding coefficient, which can be an empirical coefficient, can be obtained from a table, or can be calibrated experimentally; I ( t ): Ionic strength (unit: mol / m³), which is obtained by collecting and converting with an on-line ion selective electrode; it can also be obtained by an accumulation method.

[0026] Specifically, the method of collecting and converting with an on-line ion selective electrode:

[0027] Wherein: β : Chemical dosing - ionic strength conversion coefficient, obtained from a table or calibrated experimentally; Q ( t ): Real-time chemical dosing amount; I 0 : The previous moment, or the initial ionic strength.

[0028] Preferably, the derivation of the Zeta potential specifically includes the following steps: 1) Set: The double-layer effect can be described by the Debye-Hückel approximation (under the condition of low surface potential). Based on the DLVO theory, the double-layer force formula is:

[0029]

[0030] Wherein: F electric : Double-layer force potential acting force; h : Equivalent distance between the surfaces of adjacent floc particles; k : Equivalent conversion empirical constant; ε : Vacuum permittivity; k D : Length of the reciprocal of Debye (unit: m⁻¹); : zeta potential; e v : Elementary charge; N A : Avogadro constant; k B : Boltzmann constant; T : Absolute temperature (unit: K).

[0031] Specifically, the conversion method of ionic strength is as follows:

[0032] Wherein: C i : Cation detected by the electrode i Molar concentration; Z i : Cation i Corresponding charge number.

[0033] 2) Derive the surface potential through the force balance relationship:

[0034] 3) Substitute into the double-layer potential formula to obtain:

[0035] Solve to get: .

[0036] Preferably, establish the quantitative relationship between the Zeta potential and the concentration of metal ions (such as aluminum salts, iron salts, etc.) , which specifically includes the following steps: Basic model: Stern double-layer model: Divide the double layer into a compact Stern layer and a diffusion layer, and metal ions affect the surface charge through adsorption. Adsorption equilibrium: The adsorption of metal ions in the Stern layer follows the Langmuir isotherm.

[0037] Step 1), According to the charge balance equation of the Stern layer, the surface charge density (Stern layer) can be obtained:

[0038] Wherein: σ Stern : The surface charge density can be obtained from the charge balance equation of the Stern layer; F: Faraday constant; Γ max : Maximum adsorption capacity (mol / m²), obtained from experimental data, empirical data or by looking up tables; kads : The metal ion adsorption equilibrium constant (m³ / mol), obtained from experimental data, empirical data, or by looking up tables; : The metal ion concentration (mol / m³); K H⁺ : The H⁺ competitive adsorption constant (m³ / mol), obtained from experimental data, empirical data, or by looking up tables; C H⁺ : The H⁺ concentration (mol / m³), obtained from an on-line pH sensor; the conversion relationship is: ; Where: PH is the detected value of the on-line pH sensor; Step 2), The correlation between Zeta potential and surface charge, the potential approximation formula:

[0039] Step 3): Substitute the Stern layer charge density:

[0040] Let the intermediate variable be:

[0041] Then:

[0042] Transform to obtain the metal particle concentration:

[0043] Specifically, traverse all the calculated zeta potentials and calculate the average metal particle concentration :

[0044]

[0045] Where: q : The counted number of flocs; : The zeta potentials of two adjacent floc individuals during traversal.

[0046] Preferably, optimizing the amount of chemical addition according to the current relative metal ion concentration specifically includes the following steps: Step 1): Assume that the metal ion concentration is jointly determined by the chemical addition input and flocculation consumption, and obtain from the particle mass balance equation:

[0047] Wherein: k in : Chemical dosing input rate constant (m³ / (mol·s)); Q ( t ): Adjust the chemical dosing amount; k out : Consumption rate constant (s -1 ), related to the floc formation rate;

[0049] Step 2), Steady-state chemical dosing calculation When the system is stable then

[0050] Combined with the zeta potential, it is deformed to obtain:

[0051] Wherein: Q steady : Steady-state chemical dosing amount.

[0052] The present invention realizes the multi-dimensional coupling of optical full-spectrum perception, DLVO microscopic mechanical field, electrochemical interface characteristics and cybernetics, constructs a cross-scale digital twin model of multi-physical fields, and completely breaks through the single-dimensional shackles of traditional analysis methods. Secondly, an intelligent decision-making engine driven by spatio-temporal data is constructed through a dynamic derivation algorithm, forming a real-time closed-loop system of "perception - calculation - regulation", which enables the response speed to achieve an order-of-magnitude leap, accelerating more than ten times compared with traditional offline optimization. In the dimension of morphological analysis, a wavelength adaptive selection mechanism driven by fractal dimension is innovatively introduced, and an intelligent optical detection model is constructed by combining dynamic scattering characteristics, resulting in a significant improvement in the resolution of morphological parameters; moreover, a paradigm breakthrough is achieved in the field of process control, replacing traditional PID control with non-linear model predictive control (NMPC) technology to accurately regulate the complex non-linear dynamics of the dosing process, locking the dosing accuracy at a super-high level of ±5% and achieving a millisecond-level response for timing control. This systematic innovation constructs a full-chain intelligent upgrade system from microscopic mechanism understanding to macroscopic process regulation, provides a key technical paradigm for the intelligent transformation of the water treatment industry, and marks the official entry of water treatment technology into a new era of multi-field coupling and intelligent decision-making.

[0053] Example 2: This embodiment is optimized on the basis of Embodiment 1. In step (1), the specific content of constructing the absorbance detection model of the alum flocs for the monochromatic light source is as follows: 1. Monochromatic light measurement principle The interaction between light and matter is mainly manifested in three forms: absorption, reflection, and transmission. When the frequency of the incident light wave matches the natural vibration frequency of the atoms of the substance, energy absorption occurs. When the frequencies do not match, the unabsorbed light wave acts in the form of reflection (the energy of electron vibration is re-radiated on the surface) or transmission (the energy is radiated after passing through the material). This selective action mechanism determines the color characteristics of the substance. In the field of alum flocs detection, the turbidity index reflects the reflection characteristics of particulate matter to light, while the change in transmitted light intensity forms a functional relationship with the morphological characteristics of alum flocs (such as floc density, particle size distribution, and three-dimensional structure). By establishing a mathematical model between the transmission spectrum parameters and the physical properties parameters of the flocs, non-invasive dynamic monitoring of the alum flocs growth process can be achieved. This photo-physical action mechanism provides an important online analysis basis for optimizing the water treatment process.

[0054] 2. Equivalent measurement method During the flocculation sedimentation process, as aggregates of multi-component colloidal particles, the dynamic formation process of flocs is accompanied by complex optical effects. When incident light passes through a suspension system containing flocs, the change in the transmitted light intensity is composed of two parts: (1) the selective absorption of dissolved organic matter at specific wavelengths; (2) the scattering-absorption coupling effect of floc particles on light. Based on the equivalent absorbance theoretical framework of Lambert-Beer's law, the attenuation effect of floc aggregates on transmitted light can be equivalent to an absorption behavior, thereby establishing a synergistic action model for the absorbance of dissolved organic matter (Aorg) and the equivalent absorbance of flocs (Afloc). This model needs to consider the non-linear effects of multi-scale parameters such as floc particle size distribution, porosity, and refractive index difference on the equivalent absorbance.

[0055] Additivity of absorbance: When there are multiple light-absorbing components in a medium, if there is no interaction between the components, the total absorbance of the system is equal to the algebraic sum of the absorbances of each component at the same wavelength. As Figure 1 shown, when measuring absorbance, a light source can be emitted by a light source array, passing through a condenser lens, a flocculation tank, and a condenser lens in sequence and then reaching the detector array.

[0056] 3. Additivity of absorbance and equivalent absorbance model 3.1 Establishment of the total absorbance of monochromatic light Expression of the total absorbance:

[0057]

[0058] Simplify and transform the calculation formula of the total absorbance to obtain:

[0060] Among them: A sum : Total absorbance; C org : Concentration of sample organic matter, obtained by three-dimensional space scanning measurement method; ε org : Absorption coefficient of sample organic matter; C floc : Equivalent concentration of flocs; ε floc : Equivalent molar absorption coefficient of flocs; L org : Equivalent optical path of organic matter; L floc : Equivalent optical path of floc.

[0061] L : Total optical path.

[0062] 3.2 Equivalent molar absorption coefficient of floc The equivalent molar absorption coefficient of floc is simplified according to the Mie scattering law:

[0063] Where: Q ext : Mie scattering coefficient; k : Equivalent conversion empirical constant; r : Average equivalent particle length of water body.

[0064] Other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1, so they will not be described in detail.

[0065] Embodiment 3: This embodiment is optimized on the basis of Embodiment 1 or 2. In step (1), the specific content of constructing the spatial concentration field model of floc is as follows: 1. By the three-dimensional measurement method of scanning the Cartesian coordinate system 1.1 Scanning data to obtain the total absorbance of the monochromatic light source The floc scanning adopts step-by-step plane scanning. In the plane scanning process, the movement scanning process of the x-axis is carried out first, then the movement scanning process of the y-axis is carried out, then the z-axis is moved, and then the plane scanning is repeated. Of course, if conditions permit, a surface light source can be used for one-time transmission to obtain all three-dimensional transmission absorbances at the same time.

[0066] Obtaining the scanning data of the xoz coordinate plane through spatial scanning:

[0067] Obtaining the scanning data of the yoz coordinate plane through spatial scanning:

[0068] Where: l is the number of subdivision steps on the x-axis; n is z the number of subdivision steps on the m is y the number of subdivision steps on the

[0069] 1.2 Orthogonal plane projection constraint When scanning in the xoz and yoz planes, the absorbance distribution can be decomposed into:

[0070] 。

[0071] 2. Construct a spatial concentration field model of floc by means of a spatial field As Figure 4 shown, data acquisition is carried out in sequence: measuring the absorbance matrix in the x, y, and z directions; projection alignment: unifying the spatial reference system of the projection data through coordinate transformation; Fourier reconstruction: performing a three-dimensional Fourier transform on the projection data, filling the frequency domain space and then inverse-transforming to obtain the spatial concentration field model of floc. Specifically, it includes the following steps: 2.1 Fourier transform of single-wavelength projection data 2.1.1 Scan the xoz plane (integrate along the y direction), where the absorbance A x ( z , x ) is expressed as:

[0072] For A x ( z , x ), perform a two-dimensional Fourier transform (variables are x and z):

[0073] Substitute A x ( z , x ) into the formula to obtain:

[0074] It is observed that y is not contained in the integral kernel, and the integral can be split into:

[0075] Since the integral with respect to y is an impulse function δ ( k y ), finally obtain:

[0076] Where: F zx ( k z , k x ) is the two-dimensional Fourier transform of A x ( z , x ); k x , k y , k z : Process data Fourier transform in the frequency domain variables in the x, y, and z directions, where k y = 0; ε floc : Equivalent molar absorptivity of flocs; C ( x , y , z ): Equivalent concentration of flocs in spatial distribution; C f ( k x , k y , k z ): Three-dimensional concentration distribution C ( x , y , z ): Frequency domain of the three-dimensional Fourier transform of ( ; C f ( k x , 0, k z ): Frequency domain mapping of the two-dimensional Fourier transform in the xoz plane to the frequency domain of the three-dimensional Fourier transform; 2.1.2 Scan the yoz plane (integrate along the x direction), where the absorbance A y ( z , y ) is expressed as:

[0077] For A y ( z , y ) perform two-dimensional Fourier transform (variables are y, z):

[0078] Substitute A y ( z , y ) into the formula to get:

[0079] It is observed that y is not contained in the integral kernel, so the integral can be split into:

[0080] Since the integral with respect to x is an impulse function δ ( k x ) Finally, we get:
