[0022] Legend: 1, regulating tank; 2, reaction tank; 3, concentration tank; 4, tubular membrane; 5, PH callback tank. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 , a water treatment method for removing hardness by pre-treatment plus advanced pre-treatment, comprising the following steps: providing a regulating tank 1, adding wastewater into the regulating tank 1, pre-treating the wastewater in the regulating tank 1 so that the liquid in the regulating tank 1 reacts and precipitates; performing solid-liquid separation on the wastewater in the regulating tank 1 to obtain a first reaction liquid, adding the first reaction liquid into the reaction tank 2, adjusting the PH of the first reaction liquid in the reaction tank 2, and adding sodium carbonate into the reaction tank 2 so that the first reaction liquid in the reaction tank 2 reacts and precipitates; adding the first reaction liquid in the reaction tank 2 into the tubular membrane 4 for solid-liquid separation to obtain a second reaction liquid, intercepting the precipitate after the chemical reaction of the second reaction liquid by the tubular membrane 4, and removing the scaling substances; adding the separated second reaction liquid into the resin unit to obtain a third reaction liquid, and removing hardness from the second reaction liquid through the resin unit.

[0025] In the present invention, a preferred embodiment is: pre-treating the wastewater, adding soda ash solution to the wastewater, adding soda ash to the reaction tank to react with the carbonate hardness in the water to generate CaCO 3 and Mg(OH) 2Precipitation reduces the hardness and alkalinity of water. Sodium carbonate is added, and liquid caustic soda is added to maintain the pH value, controlling the pH value above 10.5. The key is to form calcium carbonate precipitation. It stays for no less than 30 minutes with stirring and pH monitoring, and then enters the tubular membrane 4 (TMF) system. A 0.2μm microfiltration membrane is used to filter the hardness-removing precipitate generated from the front-end treatment. Extreme solid-liquid separation is carried out in the cross-flow mode, with the cross-flow velocity controlled at 3 - 4m / s. The precipitate after the chemical reaction is intercepted to remove scale-forming substances, and then it enters the resin unit. Macroporous weakly acidic acrylic cation exchange resin is used. Through the sodium-type cation exchange resin, the excess Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ in the water is exchanged with Na + in the resin, thereby adsorbing Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ in the water. When exchanging, the water temperature is controlled at 15 - 35°C, and the total hardness of the final effluent water quality is ≤10mg / L.

[0026] Furthermore, when pre-treating the wastewater, soda ash lye is added to the regulating tank 1 to generate precipitates, and the solution in the regulating tank 1 is stirred until no more precipitates are formed. Preferably, for the pre-treatment of wastewater, soda ash lye is added and stirred for reaction, reacting with calcium ions and magnesium ions in the sewage to generate CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2 precipitates. At the same time, silicon dioxide in the water reacts with OH and Mg to generate Mg(OH)2SiO3 precipitates.

[0027] Furthermore, after the stirring is completed, PFS (polyferric sulfate) coagulant is added to the regulating tank 1 to coagulate the floating substances in the wastewater and generate flocs. PAM (polyacrylamide) flocculant is added to the regulating tank to coagulate the flocs and form large floc masses. After the large floc masses precipitate, the large floc masses are discharged by a sludge scraper.

[0028] Furthermore, when adjusting the pH of the first reaction liquid in the reaction tank 2, the pH of the liquid in the reaction tank 2 is monitored, and the standard pH value range is provided. Soda ash is added to the reaction tank 2 and stirred to control the pH value of the liquid in the reaction tank 2 within the pH value range. Preferably, after the pre-treatment is completed, deep pre-treatment is carried out. The incoming water undergoes secondary chemical treatment, enters the reaction tank 2, liquid caustic soda or lime is added, and stirred for reaction. The key is to form magnesium hydroxide precipitates, control the pH at about 11.2, stay for no less than 30 minutes with stirring and pH monitoring.

[0029] Further, when adding sodium carbonate into the reaction tank 2, monitor the pH of the liquid in the reaction tank 2, provide a maintained pH range, add liquid caustic soda into the reaction tank 2 and stir to keep the pH of the liquid in the reaction tank 2 within the maintained pH range. Preferably, add sodium carbonate and add liquid caustic soda to maintain the pH value, control the pH value above 10.5, mainly form calcium carbonate precipitate, stay for no less than 30 minutes and carry out stirring and pH monitoring.

[0030] Further, after adding sodium carbonate into the reaction tank 2 and generating precipitate, add PFS coagulant into the reaction tank 2 to coagulate the floating substances in the first reaction liquid and generate floccules, add PAM flocculant into the reaction tank 2 to coagulate the floccules and form large flocculent masses. After the large flocculent masses precipitate, discharge the large flocculent masses through a sludge scraper.

[0031] Further, when the resin unit removes hardness from the second reaction liquid, use macroporous weakly acidic acrylic cation exchange resin to remove hardness from the second reaction liquid. Preferably, enter the resin unit, use macroporous weakly acidic acrylic cation exchange resin, and through sodium-type cation exchange resin, make the excess Ca 2+ 、Mg 2+ in the water exchange with Na + in the resin, so as to adsorb Ca 2+ 、Mg 2+ in the water. When exchanging, control the water temperature at 15 - 35 °C, and the total hardness of the final effluent quality ≤ 10 mg / L.

[0032] Still further, when entering the tubular membrane 4, supply the liquid to the concentration tank 3 and the tubular membrane 4 through cross-flow water supply and receiving concentrated sludge, maintain the sludge concentration between 2 - 5%, stay for no less than 30 minutes and carry out stirring and liquid level control; enter the tubular membrane 4 (TMF) system, use a 0.2 μm microfiltration membrane to filter the hardness removal precipitate generated by the front-end treatment, carry out extreme solid-liquid separation in the cross-flow mode, control the cross-flow velocity at 3 - 4 m / s, intercept the precipitate after the chemical reaction, and remove the scaling substances.

[0033] Further, before the resin unit removes hardness from the second reaction liquid, add the second reaction liquid into the pH callback tank 5, provide a standard pH range, adjust and monitor the pH of the liquid in the pH callback tank 5 to make the pH of the second reaction liquid within the standard pH range.

[0034] Further, when the resin unit removes hardness from the second reaction liquid, provide a standard water temperature range and control the temperature of the second reaction liquid within the standard water temperature range.

[0035] Further, after pre-treating the wastewater, a sedimentation tank is provided to perform solid-liquid separation on the wastewater through the sedimentation tank.

[0036] The following describes the usage process of a water treatment and hardness removal method with pre-treatment and advanced pre-treatment according to the present invention.

[0037] The incoming wastewater is first pre-treated. The hardness removal in the pre-treatment adopts the high-density sedimentation method. By adding lime / liquid caustic soda to the reaction tank, lime or liquid caustic soda and soda ash are added to the reaction tank to react with the carbonate hardness in the water, generating CaCO 3 and Mg(OH) 2 precipitates, reducing the hardness and alkalinity of the water. At the same time, by adding PFS and PAM, the newly formed CaCO 3 and Mg(OH) 2 precipitates with a large surface area adsorb a large amount of suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, viruses, etc. in the raw water during the sedimentation process, and then the precipitates are discharged through the sludge outlet to obtain the primary hardness-removed treated wastewater. At this time, the hardness of the wastewater ≤ 300 mg / L; after the pre-treatment is completed, advanced pre-treatment is carried out. The wastewater after the pre-treatment enters the concentrated brine tank for advanced pre-treatment, and then undergoes chemical precipitation again. Then, agents are added in the tubular membrane 4 (TMF) filtration to form precipitates of divalent cations such as calcium, magnesium, barium, strontium, etc. and silicon dioxide in the water. Then, using the good solid-liquid separation effect of the tubular microfiltration membrane under high-concentration suspended solids, these components that are likely to cause scaling in the subsequent reuse process are effectively removed. In most cases, the calcium ion concentration in the produced water is less than 20 mg / L, the magnesium ion concentration is less than 20 mg / L, and the silicon dioxide concentration is less than 10 mg / L; the filtered wastewater enters the resin unit, and the total hardness of the incoming water from the front end is removed through the resin softening system, adopting the weak acid cation resin type. The system mainly consists of a resin tank, an acid metering tank, an alkali metering tank (softening resin), a controller, etc. The raw water passes through the sodium-type cation exchange resin, so that the Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ in the water are exchanged with the Na + in the resin, thereby adsorbing the Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ in the water to soften the water, and finally the hardness of the produced water quality ≤ 10 mg / L.

[0038] The present invention has been described in detail above in combination with the embodiments in the accompanying drawings. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make various variations of the present invention according to the above description.
