Traditional biological treatment methods have limited capabilities in treating wastewater containing difficult-to-biodegrade organic matter and often require the combination of physical or chemical pretreatment methods.

Moreover, most photocatalytic reaction devices use a single light source. Therefore, there is a particular need for a dual-light-source photocatalytic wastewater degradation device.

[0003] However, existing photocatalytic reactors have defects. The contact area between the catalyst and pollutants is small, the utilization rate of the catalyst is low, and the distribution is uneven. Small molecules in the water body are easily adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst, resulting in passivation phenomena, leading to poor stability of the catalytic system and unable to achieve high-efficiency catalytic effects.

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Embodiment

[0030] As Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, it includes an outer tank body 1. Inside the outer tank body 1, a photocatalytic mechanism 2 is provided, and a mechanical catalytic mechanism 3 is provided. At the top of the outer tank body 1, a tank cover 4 is provided. The photocatalytic mechanism 2 includes an inner tank body 201 installed on the inner side of the outer tank body 1. Between the outer tank body 1 and the inner tank body 201, an intermediate tank body 202 is provided. Between the outer tank body 1 and the intermediate tank body 202, a heat-insulating interlayer 203 is filled. Between the inner tank body 201 and the intermediate tank body 202, an ultraviolet LED light strip 204 is installed. Inside the inner wall of the inner tank body 201, a blue-light LED light strip 205 is built in. The photocatalytic mechanism 2 further includes a sunken groove 206 opened at the top of the inner tank body 201. On one side of the intermediate tank body 202 close to the inner tank body 201, a spiral lamp groove 207 is arranged in a surrounding manner. At the top of the sunken groove 206, a gasket 208 is provided. On the top of the gasket 208, an annular pressing plate 209 is provided.

[0031] It should be noted that in this embodiment, first, the pretreated wastewater is transported into the reactor, that is, inside the inner tank body 201, through the water inlet pipe at the top of the tank cover 4 by an external water pump. After the wastewater enters, it first passes through the swirl plate 303 installed on the tank cover 4 and forms a swirl. The formation of the swirl helps the wastewater to be more evenly distributed in the device, creating good conditions for subsequent reactions. Subsequently, the ultraviolet LED light strip 204 and the blue-light LED light strip 205 are turned on simultaneously. The ultraviolet LED light strip 204 is arranged in a surrounding manner with the central axis of the inner tank body 201 as the center, a total of ten groups. The blue-light LED light strip 205 is embedded in the spiral lamp groove 207 on the inner wall of the inner tank body 201. The light of the two bands irradiates the catalytic disc 301, activating the catalyst activity. The activated catalyst can undergo a photochemical reaction with the pollutants in the wastewater. Under the action of photocatalysis, the pollutants in the wastewater are continuously degraded. After a certain period of reaction, it can be discharged from the device through the drainage channel at the bottom of the outer tank body 1;

[0032] Among them, when maintaining the ultraviolet LED light strip 204, since the annular pressing plate 209 is snap-connected to the inner tank body 201 at the beginning, first disassemble the annular pressing plate 209. Since the bottom of the annular pressing plate 209 is connected to the ultraviolet LED light strip 204, when pulling out the annular pressing plate 209, the ultraviolet LED light strip 204 is pulled out from the inner tank body 201 together with the annular pressing plate 209. Then, pull out the ultraviolet LED light strip 204 passing through the gasket 208 from the gasket 208, and pay attention not to over-pull to prevent damage to the light strip circuit. At this time, after the ultraviolet LED light strip 204 is taken out, it can be maintained and replaced. When maintaining the blue-light LED light strip 205, since the blue-light LED light strip 205 is embedded in the inner wall of the spiral lamp groove 207 and the two form a slide rail structure, it can be carefully slid out from the spiral lamp groove 207 along the slide rail direction to be maintained and replaced;

[0033] Furthermore, the outer tank body 1 and the inner tank body 201 are hermetically connected and detachable, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the light strip;

[0034] Moreover, the thermal insulation interlayer 203 filled between the outer tank body 1 and the middle layer tank body 202 is an aerogel filling material, which can effectively maintain the temperature stability inside the device, provide a suitable temperature environment for the photocatalysis and mechanical catalysis reactions, and is beneficial to improving the reaction efficiency.

[0035] As Figure 5 、 6 shown, the mechanical catalysis mechanism 3 includes a catalytic disk 301 installed above the bottom of the inner tank body 201. Above the catalytic disk 301, there is a stirring plate 302, and above the stirring plate 302, there is a swirl plate 303. The mechanical catalysis mechanism 3 also includes a first driving motor 304 installed at the bottom of the outer tank body 1. A stirring shaft 305 is installed at the central connection point of the stirring plate 302. The top output end of the first driving motor 304 is installed with a rotating shaft 306. The top connecting end of the stirring shaft 305 is installed with a second driving motor 307, and the second driving motor 307 is installed on the top of the tank cover 4.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, first, the first driving motor 304 at the bottom of the outer tank body 1 is started to drive the rotating shaft 306 to rotate, so that the catalytic disk 301 sleeved on the rotating shaft 306 rotates. The catalytic disk 301 is installed with six layers along the central axis of the rotating shaft 306, and the interval between each layer is ten centimeters. On the one hand, the rotating catalytic disk 301 increases the contact area with the wastewater, enabling more wastewater to fully contact with the catalyst; on the other hand, the mechanical force generated by its rotation can promote the adsorption and catalytic degradation process of the catalyst to the pollutants. Synchronously, the second driving motor 307 on the top of the tank cover 4 is started to drive the stirring shaft 305 and the stirring plate 302 to move in the opposite direction. The stirring plate 302 stirs the wastewater, causing turbulence in the device, further enhancing the contact frequency and degree between the wastewater and the catalytic disk 301 and the catalyst. At the same time, the swirl plate 303 above the stirring plate 302 further strengthens the swirling effect of the wastewater. Acting together with the stirring plate 302, the wastewater forms a complex flow field in the device, generating turbulent shear force. The turbulent shear force can destroy the agglomeration state of the pollutant particles, increase the contact opportunities between the pollutants and the catalyst and light, and can also promote the mass transfer process, accelerating the photocatalysis and mechanical catalysis reaction rates;

[0037] Among them, five catalytic disks 301 are grouped together, jointly installed on the connecting piece, and installed on the rotating shaft 306 through the connecting piece, and a group of catalytic disks 301 can be directly removed from the rotating shaft 306 for easy replacement.

[0038] The working principle of the present invention:

[0039] Refer to the attached instructions Figures 1-6, first, the pretreated wastewater is transported into the reactor, i.e., inside the inner tank body 201, through the water inlet pipe at the top of the tank cover 4 by an externally connected water pump. After the wastewater enters, it first passes through the swirl plate 303 installed on the tank cover 4 and forms a swirl. The formation of the swirl helps the wastewater to be more evenly distributed in the device, creating good conditions for subsequent reactions. Subsequently, the ultraviolet LED strip 204 and the blue light LED strip 205 are simultaneously turned on. The ultraviolet LED strip 204 is arranged in a circle around the central axis of the inner tank body 201, with a total of ten groups. The blue light LED strip 205 is embedded in the spiral lamp groove 207 on the inner wall of the inner tank body 201. The light of the two bands irradiates the catalytic disc 301, activating the catalyst activity. The activated catalyst can undergo a photocatalytic reaction with the pollutants in the wastewater;

[0040] Subsequently, the first drive motor 304 at the bottom of the outer tank body 1 is started to drive the rotating shaft 306 to rotate, causing the catalytic disc 301 sleeved on the rotating shaft 306 to rotate. The catalytic disc 301 is installed in six layers along the central axis of the rotating shaft 306, with a spacing of ten centimeters between each layer. On the one hand, the rotating catalytic disc 301 increases the contact area with the wastewater, enabling more wastewater to come into full contact with the catalyst; on the other hand, the mechanical force generated by its rotation can promote the adsorption and catalytic degradation process of the catalyst on the pollutants. Synchronously, the second drive motor 307 at the top of the tank cover 4 is started to drive the stirring shaft 305 and the stirring plate 302 to move in the opposite direction. The stirring plate 302 stirs the wastewater, generating turbulence in the device, further enhancing the contact frequency and degree between the wastewater and the catalytic disc 301 and the catalyst. At the same time, the swirl plate 303 above the stirring plate 302 further strengthens the swirl effect of the wastewater. Acting together with the stirring plate 302, a complex flow field is formed in the device, generating turbulent shear force. The turbulent shear force can break the agglomeration state of the pollutant particles, increase the contact opportunities between the pollutants and the catalyst and light, and also promote the mass transfer process, accelerating the photocatalysis and mechanical catalysis reaction rates;

[0041] The thermal insulation interlayer 203 filled between the outer tank body 1 and the intermediate tank body 202 is an aerogel filling material, which can effectively maintain the temperature stability inside the device, providing a suitable temperature environment for the photocatalysis and mechanical catalysis reactions and being conducive to improving the reaction efficiency;

[0042] Under the synergistic effect of the photocatalytic mechanism 2 and the mechanical catalytic mechanism 3, the pollutants in the wastewater are continuously degraded. After a certain period of reaction, they can finally be discharged from the device through the drainage channel at the bottom of the outer tank body 1.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, the specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and not limitations thereof. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations that do not make a creative contribution to the embodiments as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
