Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] During the coagulation and sedimentation process, the key to water purification lies in the destabilization of colloids and the formation of flocs. Colloidal particles repel each other due to their negative surface charge, forming a stable suspension. The addition of coagulants (such as Al⁺ and Fe⁺) neutralizes the surface charge, destabilizing the colloids and causing them to aggregate. Coagulation and sedimentation involve three stages: coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. During the coagulation stage, the coagulant neutralizes the surface charge of the colloids, lowering their Zeta potential and destabilizing them. During the flocculation stage, the destabilized colloid particles combine through collisions to form visible flocs. This process is influenced by factors such as hydraulic conditions, bridging, and sweep flocculation. The sedimentation stage allows the flocs to settle by gravity and achieve solid-liquid separation.

[0003] Alum flocs, composed of destabilized colloids and coagulant hydrolysis products, possess a porous network structure that further adsorbs pollutants. This structure must be optimized by adjusting it to an optimal range or selecting an appropriate combination of reagents. Furthermore, monitoring and assessment methods such as zeta potential, turbidity analysis, floc imaging analysis, and sedimentation rate testing are essential for real-time optimization of operational plans to achieve efficient and cost-effective solid-liquid separation. In summary, colloid destabilization and alum floc formation are the core of coagulation and sedimentation, requiring comprehensive control of water quality, reagent selection, and hydraulic parameters.

[0004] The coagulation effect has a decisive influence on subsequent process control. Effective coagulation dosing control can minimize chemical consumption and improve effluent quality while ensuring optimal dosing. However, as a core component of water treatment, coagulation dosing has always been a major challenge in water treatment due to its inherent large hysteresis and nonlinear characteristics. Traditional control methods, such as mathematical models, streaming current methods, and simulated filter methods, have not been widely adopted due to their respective shortcomings and lack of reliability. For example, most water plants still use a control strategy based on influent flow rate, combined with manual observation of alum floc morphology and sedimentation tank outlet turbidity to assess dosing effect. They primarily rely on flow ratio to control coagulant dosage, but this method cannot achieve precise control and real-time monitoring of water quality. Fixed-programmed flow ratio automatic control systems only provide test results that reflect water quality at the moment of sampling. The determined coagulant dosage exhibits discontinuity and hysteresis, making optimization and precise control difficult.

[0005] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, especially the widespread application of deep learning, underwater particle imaging technology and computer artificial intelligence control have provided new ideas for the intelligent control of coagulation dosing. The application of deep convolutional neural network models in image recognition, object monitoring and other fields has become quite mature. They can extract the texture features of alum flowers images for identification, and through steps such as threshold segmentation and morphological processing, screen out the main image features for standardization. Then, they are combined with machine learning algorithms such as SVM, BP neural network, and GRNN to determine the amount of alum to be dosed. However, this method is highly dependent on high-quality images and is easily interfered by external factors such as lighting and noise. In addition, feature extraction may not be comprehensive, the generalization ability of the machine learning model is also limited, and the response speed of real-time monitoring is relatively slow.

[0123] (2) Derivation of the van der Waals forces between alum floc particles based on the equivalent parameters of alum floc morphology;

[0124] (3) Derivation of Zeta potential based on van der Waals force;

[0125] (4) Determine the current relative concentration of metal ions based on the Zeta potential;

[0126] (5) Optimize the dosage according to the current relative concentration of metal ions.

[0127] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown in FIG, the equivalent parameters of real-time monitoring of alum flower morphology include the following steps:

[0128] 1) Construct a basic alum flower measurement model - a monochromatic light source alum flower absorbance detection model;

[0129] 2) Obtain three-dimensional spatial scanning data and construct a model of the alum flower spatial concentration field;

[0130] 3) Construct an alum flower structure and adapt the wavelength of the light source for multi-band measurement based on the alum flower structure;

[0131] 4) Construct an equivalent concentration field model of alum flowers based on the equivalent concentrations of alum flowers corresponding to different light source wavelengths;

[0132] 5) The geometric boundary of the alum flower is extracted based on the concentration threshold τ, and the equivalent parameters of the alum flower morphology are determined.

[0133] Preferably, deriving the van der Waals forces between alum floc particles specifically comprises the following steps:

[0134] Basic theory: The lyophobic colloid stability theory is commonly known as the DLVO theory. Colloidal particles attract each other due to the van der Waals force. When they approach each other, the double layers overlap and repel each other. The stability of the colloid depends on the relative size of the two. This theory calculates the variation of attractive and repulsive energies 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 will aggregate. As the ion concentration or the valence of the counterions in the solution increases, the van der Waals force remains basically unchanged, the double layer repulsive energy decreases, and the colloid stability decreases until it aggregates. According to the dynamic DLVO model theory, the colloidal force field is derived from the dynamic morphological data. Therefore, it is set as follows:

[0135] 1. Equivalent the shape of alum flowers to spherical particles;

[0136] 2. The derivation model ignores the effects of Brownian motion and fluid shear on the mechanics of alum flowers;

[0137] 3. The Hamaker constant is affected by the ionic strength of the solution;

[0153] Preferably, deriving the zeta potential specifically comprises the following steps:

[0154] 1) Assumption: The double layer interaction can be described by the Debye-Hückel approximation (low surface potential condition). Based on the DLVO theory, the double layer force formula is:

This systematic innovation has built a full-chain intelligent upgrade system from micro-mechanism cognition to macro-process regulation, providing a key technical paradigm for the intelligent transformation of the water treatment industry, and marking that water treatment technology has officially entered a new era of multi-field coupling and intelligent decision-making.

[0224] Example 2:

[0225] This embodiment is optimized based on the embodiment 1. In the step (1), the specific contents of constructing the alum flower absorbance detection model of the monochromatic light source are as follows:

[0226] 1. Monochromatic light measurement principle

[0227] The interaction between light and matter manifests primarily in three forms: absorption, reflection, and transmission. When the frequency of the incident light wave matches the natural vibrational frequency of the material's atoms, energy absorption occurs. When the frequencies do not match, the unabsorbed light wave acts through reflection (re-radiation of the electron vibration energy at the surface) or transmission (radiation after energy transfer through the material). This selective interaction mechanism determines the color properties of the material. In the field of alum floc detection, turbidity reflects the light reflectivity of particulate matter, while changes in transmitted light intensity form a functional relationship with the morphological characteristics of the alum floc (such as floc density, particle size distribution, and three-dimensional structure). By establishing a mathematical model linking transmission spectral parameters with floc physical parameters, non-invasive dynamic monitoring of the alum floc growth process can be achieved. This photophysical mechanism provides an important online analytical foundation for optimizing water treatment processes.

[0228] 2. Equivalent measurement method

[0229] During the flocculation and sedimentation process, alum flocs, as aggregates of multi-component colloidal particles, undergo a dynamic formation process accompanied by complex optical effects. When incident light passes through a suspension system containing alum flocs, the change in transmitted light intensity is composed of two contributions: (1) the selective absorption of specific wavelengths by dissolved organic matter; and (2) the scattering-absorption coupling effect of alum floc particles on light. Based on the equivalent absorbance theoretical framework of the Lambert-Beer law, the attenuation effect of alum floc aggregates on transmitted light can be equated to absorption behavior, thereby establishing a synergistic model of the absorbance of dissolved organic matter (Aorg) and the equivalent absorbance of alum floc transmission (Afloc). This model needs to consider the nonlinear effects of multi-scale parameters such as alum floc particle size distribution, porosity, and refractive index differences on the equivalent absorbance.

[0230] Additive absorbance: When a medium contains multiple absorbing components, if there is no interaction between the components, the total absorbance of the system is equal to the algebraic sum of the absorbances of the components at the same wavelength. Figure 1 As shown, when measuring absorbance, light can be emitted through the light source array, and then passes through the focusing lens, the flocculation tank and the focusing lens in sequence before reaching the detector array.
