[0038] S5: Cleaning: Move the granular glass particles into the cleaning device and use pure water to backwash the glass particles to remove fine dust and impurities. The turbidity index of the backwash water is tested to determine whether the cleaning is thorough. Generally, the backwash time is required to be 10-15 minutes, and the backwash flow rate is required to make the glass particles expand by 20-40%;

[0039] S6: Sintering: The cleaned glass particles are transported into the glass sintering furnace, and the temperature is evenly raised to 550℃ and kept constant for 15 minutes to burn off the organic matter and other impurities attached to the glass surface.

[0041] a) Choose a corrosion-resistant reaction vessel with a stirring device, such as a plastic or glass-lined reactor, to ensure that it can withstand acid and alkaline environments and that the filter media can fully contact the cleaning agent during the cleaning process;

[0042] b) loading the sintered particles into a reactor;

[0043] c) Dilute 40% hydrofluoric acid (HF) with water in a ratio of 1:3. Slowly add the diluted HF solution to the reactor containing the glass particles, ensuring that the glass particles are completely immersed in the solution.

[0052] g) taking the glass particles out of the oven and allowing them to cool naturally to room temperature;

[0053] S9: Alkaline cleaning: Alkaline cleaning of glass particles. The steps and methods are as follows:

[0054] 1. Rinse and neutralize: Rinse the glass particles with pure water until the pH of the rinse solution is close to neutral. The pH value of the rinse solution can be tested with pH test paper or a pH meter.

[0055] 2. Add alkaline cleaning agent: Add the prepared alkaline (sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate) cleaning agent solution into the cleaning equipment in a similar way to the acidification treatment to ensure that the glass particles are completely immersed;

[0056] 3. Stirring and reacting: Turn on the stirring device and react at an appropriate speed (10-20 rpm). The reaction time is adjusted according to the actual situation, generally 15-30 minutes.

[0057] 4. Discharge alkaline waste liquid: After the reaction is completed, stop stirring, discharge the alkaline waste liquid into a special waste liquid collection container, and properly dispose of the waste liquid;

[0058] S10: Final cleaning: Move the glass particles into the cleaning device and backwash them with pure water. The backwash flow rate causes the glass particles to expand by 20-40%. The pH value of the backwash water is tested to determine whether the cleaning is thorough. Generally, the pH value of the rinse water is required to be close to 7.

[0059] S11: Drying treatment: take the cleaned glass particles out of the cleaning equipment and put them into an oven with the temperature controlled at 80-120 degrees Celsius until the glass particles are completely dry. Ensure that there is no moisture left in the dried glass particles for subsequent storage and use.

[0060] In summary, the use of recycled glass as water treatment filter material has brought significant social benefits in terms of environmental protection, economic benefits, resource conservation, water quality improvement, social awareness, technological innovation and waste treatment, and has promoted sustainable development.

[0061] (1) Environmental protection: Recycling glass as filter material reduces the landfill and incineration of glass waste, reduces environmental pollution, and at the same time reduces the mining of new raw materials, protects natural resources, and reduces damage to the ecological environment.
