[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater recycling equipment, specifically to a device for utilizing heat-traced wastewater from epichlorohydrin production. Background Technology

[0002] Epichlorohydrin, as an important organic chemical raw material and fine chemical product, generates a large amount of wastewater during its production process. This wastewater mainly comes from the residual liquid discharged from the cyclization tower and contains highly toxic organic chlorides such as epichlorohydrin and dichloropropanol, as well as general organic substances such as glycerol, glycidol, and polyglycerol, and inorganic substances such as sodium hydroxide and sodium chloride.

[0003] Heat tracing wastewater undergoes various treatment processes, including flocculation and sedimentation. However, this process results in the presence of large particulate impurities in the wastewater. During filtration, these large particles quickly accumulate on the filter media, reducing filtration efficiency and requiring frequent cleaning, thus increasing labor costs and equipment maintenance frequency. Furthermore, the wastewater contains a significant amount of heat, which is typically utilized by heating the purified water with heating rods. The purified water inside the storage tank cannot be heated quickly enough. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a device for utilizing heat tracing wastewater from epichlorohydrin production.

A first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the stop block, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the stop block.

[0010] Specifically, a first drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the sedimentation tank, and the output end of the first drive motor is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod through a coupling.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0030] Example 1: A device for utilizing heat-traced wastewater from epichlorohydrin production includes a sedimentation tank 1, a collection tank 2, a recovery mechanism 3, and a filtration mechanism 4. The collection tank 2 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sedimentation tank 1 via a mounting bracket. The recovery mechanism 3 is located inside the collection tank 2. The filtration mechanism 4 is located below the sedimentation tank 1. A feed pipe is located at one end of the sedimentation tank 1.

[0031] In use, the heated wastewater enters the sedimentation tank 1 through the feed pipe, and a coagulant is added to coagulate the suspended solids, colloidal substances and dissolved substances in the wastewater into large particles. The purified water enters the collection tank 2 through the inlet pipe 5, and the purified water in the collection tank 2 is heated by the heating plate 31. The heated purified water is discharged through the outlet pipe 6. The flocculated wastewater enters the storage tank 41 through the discharge pipe 42. The filter block 45 filters the wastewater and blocks large particulate impurities. The sealed box door 13 can be opened to clean the large particulate impurities.

[0032] Example 2: The technical solutions in this example that differ from Example 1 include:

[0033] The recycling mechanism 3 includes a heating plate 31. The heating plate 31 is fixedly connected at equal intervals to the inner bottom wall of the collection tank 2. The heating plate 31 extends through to the outside of the collection tank 2. The inner wall of the collection tank 2 is rotatably connected to a first rotating rod 32. The inner wall of the collection tank 2 is fixedly connected to a sliding rod 33 below the first rotating rod 32. The outer walls of the first rotating rod 32 and the sliding rod 33 are slidably connected at equal intervals to a stirring plate 34. The outer wall of the stirring plate 34 is fixedly connected to a protrusion 35 outside the first rotating rod 32. The outer wall of the first rotating rod 32 is fixedly connected to a push block 36 on one side of the protrusion 35. A cavity is opened through the interior of the stirring plate 34. The inner wall of the cavity is rotatably connected to a drive rod 37. One end of the drive rod 37 extends to the outside of the stirring plate 34 and is fixedly connected to an auxiliary stirring blade 38.

[0034] The filtration mechanism 4 includes a storage tank 41. A discharge pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage tank 41. One end of the discharge pipe 42 extends through into the storage tank 41 and is equipped with a valve. An installation block 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 42. A sliding groove is symmetrically opened through the lower surface of the installation block 43. A slider 44 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. One end of the slider 44 extends out of the sliding groove and is rotatably connected to a filter block 45. Two filter blocks 45 are rotatably connected and arranged in a V shape. A second rotating rod 46 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 42 below the filter block 45. A cam 47 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating rod 46. The installation block 43 is arranged in an inclined position.

[0035] In use, both the first drive motor 10 and the second drive motor 11 are connected to an external drive source via a controller. Starting the first drive motor 10 causes the first rotating rod 32 and the push block 36 to rotate. When the push block 36 rotates to the protruding end of the protruding block 35, it pushes the protruding block 35 and the stirring plate 34 towards the stop block 8, compressing the first spring 9. When the push block 36 rotates to the recessed end of the protruding block 35, the first spring 9 pushes the stirring plate 34 away from the stop block 8, causing the stirring plate 34 to reciprocate and stir the purified water in the collection tank 2, accelerating the heating process. As the stirring plate 34 moves, it drives the toothed block 7 to move, and the toothed block 7 and the drive... The rod 37 and auxiliary stirring blade 38 rotate to increase the stirring effect. When large particles of impurities accumulate on the surface of the filter block 45, the second drive motor 11, the second rotating rod 46, and the cam 47 are started to rotate. The protruding part of the cam 47 pushes the filter block 45 and the slider 44 to move upward and compress the second spring 12, which opens the filter block 45 and increases the number of large particles of impurities on the surface of the filter block 45. When the concave part of the cam 47 moves to the lower end of the filter block 45, the second spring 12 pushes the slider 44 to move downward. The slider 44 pushes the filter block 45 to gradually form a V-shape. The filter block 45 squeezes the large particles of impurities on the surface. The sealed box door 13 can be opened to clean the squeezed large particles of impurities.

[0036] Example 3: The technical solutions in this example that differ from those in Example 2 include:

[0037] The inner wall of one end of the collection tank 2 is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 5, and the inner wall of the end of the collection tank 2 away from the inlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to an outlet pipe 6. One end of the inlet pipe 5 and the outlet pipe 6 extends through to the outside of the sedimentation tank 1 and is equipped with a valve, so that the purified water can be poured into the collection tank 2 using the inlet pipe 5 and the heated purified water can be discharged through the collection tank 2.

[0038] Among them, the outer wall of one end of the drive rod 37 located in the cavity is fixedly connected to the drive tooth block 7, and the outer wall of the slide rod 33 is provided with tooth grooves at equal intervals. The drive tooth block 7 meshes with the tooth grooves. The inner wall of one end of the slide rod 33 is fixedly connected to a stop block 8 on one side of the stirring plate 34. A first spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the stop block 8. The other end of the first spring 9 is fixedly connected to the stop block 8. The stop block 8 is round, which makes it easy to use the first spring 9 to push the stirring plate 34 to reset.

[0039] The sedimentation tank 1 has a first drive motor 10 fixedly connected to one side of its outer wall. The output end of the first drive motor 10 is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 32 through a coupling, so that the first drive motor 10 can drive the first rotating rod 32 to rotate.

[0040] The second drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the feeding pipe 42. The output end of the second drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the second rotating rod 46. The second spring 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the slide. The other end of the second spring 12 abuts against the slider 44. Both the slide and the slider 44 are T-shaped, which makes it easy to use the second spring 12 to push the slider 44 to move in the slide.

[0041] The material discharge pipe 42 has an opening on one side of its outer wall and is connected to a sealed box door 13 by a hinge. Both sides of the filter block 45 have sealed blocks. One end of the storage tank 41 has a discharge pipe.
