BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the method for recycling the cleaning wastewater of the lunch box of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] The method for recycling the cleaning wastewater of the lunch box of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the schematic diagrams, in which the preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the present invention described herein and still achieve the beneficial effects of the present invention. Therefore, the following description should be understood as a broad guidance for those skilled in the art and not as a limitation to the present invention.

[0029] The present invention will be described more specifically by way of example in the following paragraphs with reference to the drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will be clearer according to the following description and the claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise scales, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for recycling the cleaning wastewater of a lunch box, including the following steps:

[0031] S100. Discharge adjustment, adjusting the water quality and discharge speed of the cleaning wastewater to improve the stability of the water quality and water volume of the cleaning wastewater.

[0032] Specifically, the cleaning wastewater generated in the lunch box cleaning process is intermittently drained, and the water quality and water volume change greatly. If the discharge speed control and water quality adjustment of the cleaning wastewater are not carried out, the subsequent treatment process of the cleaning wastewater will be difficult to withstand the impact of the water volume and water quality, and the dosing of drugs will also be difficult to control, and it is not easy to form flocculent precipitates. At the same time, a submersible agitator is arranged in the adjustment tank to play a role in mixing the incoming water evenly. Therefore, in order to improve the treatment effect of the cleaning wastewater, it is necessary to set up an adjustment tank to make the water quality and water volume of the incoming water relatively stable, so as to reduce the load of the subsequent cleaning wastewater treatment and facilitate the subsequent treatment.

[0033] S200. Pretreatment, removing the suspended solids and floating matters in the cleaning wastewater.

[0034] Specifically, first, a rotary grille is used to conduct preliminary treatment on the suspended solids and floating matters in the cleaning wastewater.

[0035] Rotary grille machine, also known as rotary grille sewage removal machine. It can continuously and automatically intercept and remove various large solid impurities in sewage. It is applied to the pre-sewage removal before pumps in urban sewage stations and sewage treatment plants. The rotary grille rotates continuously. The rake teeth intercept the solid suspended matters in the sewage. When the intercepted matters are conveyed to the upper part of the equipment, the rake teeth change the movement direction, and the solid sundries fall by themselves. The sundries stuck on the rake teeth are cleaned by the reverse rotation of the rubber brush of the sewage cleaning mechanism. When overloaded, the spring is pressed down, the proximity plate approaches the proximity switch, and the motor stops running.

[0036] There are many suspended and floating particles in the cleaning wastewater. Using a rotary grille can have a good effect on removing suspended and floating particles, and can also continuously clean the water passing section. The grid residues generated are collected and transported out regularly.

[0037] Then, the coagulation and sedimentation process is used to finely treat the suspended matters in the pretreated cleaning wastewater to reduce the content of suspended matters in the cleaning wastewater. According to the properties of the water such as turbidity, an appropriate amount of flocculant is added to the cleaning wastewater. Through chemical reactions and flocculation, flocs are formed and settle down, making the water clear.

[0038] Among them, in the fine treatment process, the flocculant is added into a vertical flow sedimentation tank, and the suspended matters aggregated by the flocculant are removed by sedimentation. The flocculant is one or more of polyacrylamide, polyaluminum chloride, and polyferric sulfate.

[0039] The water quality in the cleaning wastewater is relatively complex, and the suspended matter index in the cleaning wastewater is relatively high. The suspended matters must be removed in advance by coagulation and sedimentation to ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent treatment process of the cleaning wastewater. If there are too many particulate matters in the cleaning wastewater, the particulate matters will accumulate in the subsequent reactor, reducing the space left for microorganisms in the reactor and affecting the working efficiency of the reactor.

[0040] S300. Adjust the biodegradability, use a catalyst to construct a photo-Fenton system and treat the pretreated cleaning wastewater to improve the biodegradability of the cleaning wastewater.

[0041] Specifically, according to the treatment difficulty of the wastewater from lunch box cleaning, it is selected whether biochemical property adjustment is needed. During the biochemical property adjustment process, first adjust the pH of the pretreated cleaning wastewater, and at the same time add hydrogen peroxide solution to change the treatment environmental parameters of the pretreated cleaning wastewater.

[0042] Among them, the pH of the pretreated cleaning wastewater is adjusted to 2.6 - 3.8, the mass fraction of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 30%, and the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution added to the solvent wastewater is 0.08 mol / L - 0.12 mol / L. After the pretreated cleaning wastewater is adjusted by the treatment environmental parameters, the biodegradability performance improvement treatment can be effectively carried out.

[0043] Subsequently, a catalyst is added to the cleaning wastewater with changed treatment environmental parameters, and the catalyst is used to construct a photo-Fenton system to treat the pretreated cleaning wastewater, so as to improve the biodegradability of the treated cleaning wastewater.

[0044] Among them, the catalyst is a graphene oxide supported nano-magnetite composite material.

[0045] A biodegradability adjustment experiment is carried out on the pretreated cleaning wastewater. When the pH of the cleaning wastewater is 3.1, the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 0.12 mol / L, and 3.2 g / L of the graphene oxide supported nano-magnetite composite material is added and reacted for 2 h, the COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal rate is 88.1%, the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) removal rate is 84.1%, the biodegradability of the wastewater is increased from 0.22 to 0.46, and the biodegradability is increased by 109.1%, providing a good basis for the subsequent biochemical method to remove organic matters.

[0046] S400. Biochemical removal of organic matters. The organic matters in the cleaning wastewater with improved biodegradability are removed by the activated sludge method with anoxic and aerobic in series.

[0047] Specifically, for the biochemical method to remove organic matters, the A / O treatment process is adopted. The A / O treatment process is an activated sludge method that combines anoxia and aeration in series. The A / O process method is also called the anaerobic-aerobic process method. A is the anoxic section, which is used for denitrification and phosphorus removal; O is the aerobic section, which is used for removing organic matters in water. Its superiority is that in addition to degrading organic pollutants, it also has a certain denitrification and phosphorus removal function. The anaerobic hydrolysis technology is used as the pretreatment of the activated sludge. Therefore, the A / O method is an improved activated sludge method.

[0048] During the cleaning wastewater treatment process, in the A anoxic section, it is mainly used for denitrification; in the O aerobic section, it is mainly used for removing organic matters in water. In addition to removing organic pollutants in the wastewater, it can also remove nitrogen and phosphorus at the same time. For high-concentration organic wastewater and refractory wastewater, a hydrolysis acidification section is set before the aerobic section, which can significantly improve the biodegradability of the wastewater. Stirring in the A section only serves to suspend the sludge and avoid the increase of DO (dissolved oxygen). Strong aeration is adopted in the front section of the O section, and the air volume is reduced in the rear section to reduce the DO content of the internal circulation liquid to ensure the anoxic state of the A section.

[0049] On the one hand, the action of microorganisms is continued to further remove and reduce COD. At the same time, under the anoxic condition in section A, heterotrophic bacteria, through the action of denitrifying bacteria, reduce nitrate in the oxygen-consuming section to molecular nitrogen, thereby achieving the purpose of nitrogen removal. Under the aerobic condition in section O, ammonium ions are oxidized to nitrate through the nitrification of autotrophic bacteria, and the generated nitrate finally returns to section A under anoxic conditions for nitrogen removal.

[0050] In the A / O treatment process, the process flow is simple, the operation is convenient, the operation cost is low, and the organic matter in the cleaning wastewater can be used as the carbon source of microorganisms, so there is no need to add external carbon source.

[0051] S500 is recycled, and the cleaning wastewater after biochemical treatment is returned to the lunch box cleaning process. According to the effective components of the cleaning agent in the returned cleaning wastewater, the dosage of the cleaning agent for lunch box cleaning is reduced.

[0052] Specifically, the treated cleaning wastewater can be reused for cleaning takeout lunch boxes, realizing the recycling of cleaning wastewater and reducing the waste of water resources. At the same time, the cleaning agent for subsequent lunch box cleaning can be reduced.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0054] In the process of treating cleaning wastewater, the present invention adjusts the biodegradability of the cleaning wastewater and cooperates with the subsequent biochemical method to remove organic matter, greatly reducing the content of organic matter in the cleaning wastewater, thereby achieving the recycling of cleaning wastewater. In addition, before treating the cleaning wastewater, the water quality and water volume are adjusted, which is convenient for subsequent treatment control of the cleaning wastewater and helps to improve the treatment efficiency and treatment quality of the cleaning wastewater.

[0055] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention also intends to include these changes and modifications.
