[0002] Wastewater treatment is an important part of environmental protection and health in production operations. A large amount of costs will be generated in the process of sewage treatment and purification, including electricity, chemical costs, compressed air loss, and secondary transportation costs, of which secondary transportation costs account for about 70%-90% of the total costs.

[0003] The sewage treated in the existing technology can meet the indicators of secondary transfer treatment, but does not meet the indicators for reuse as recycled water. It is mainly limited by conductivity, total alkalinity + total hardness, and SS (suspended solids). If this part of the sewage is directly discarded, it will directly cause waste of water resources and high transportation costs. In order to solve the above problem of total hardness, which is mainly caused by the excessive concentration of Ca2+, Mg2+ and other cations in the recycled water, the recycled water does not meet the circulating water reuse standards. To address this problem, a device and method for softening the hardness of sewage retreatment are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Step 1: The recycled water enters the electric multi-way valve through the resin water inlet pipe, and the electric multi-way valve controls the recycled water to flow to the resin filter water inlet pipe and enter the resin filter for treatment;

[0013] Step 2: After the recycled water is filtered in the resin filter, it is discharged through the resin outlet pipe;

[0014] Step 3: Open the water adding control valve and the gas stirring valve of the regeneration salt tank, and prepare a sodium chloride solution with a concentration of m% into the regeneration salt tank by adding water and aeration;

[0026] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in an exemplary manner in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a hardness softening device for sewage reprocessing, including a resin filter 1, an electric multi-way valve 2 is installed on one side of the resin filter 1, the upper surface of the resin filter 1 is connected to the resin filter water inlet pipe 3, and the lower surface is connected to the resin filter water outlet pipe 4, the resin filter water inlet pipe 3 and the resin filter water outlet pipe 4 are both connected to the electric multi-way valve 2, and the electric multi-way valve 2 is connected to the resin water inlet pipe 5 and the resin water outlet pipe 6. A 380VAC / 220VAC, 50HZ power supply is used in the equipment to treat treated production wastewater. The inner shell of the resin filter 1 is usually made of PE (polyethylene) plastic, which has good corrosion resistance and hygiene. The outer layer is made of reinforced glass fiber and high-performance epoxy resin three-dimensionally wound. The recycled water enters the electric multi-way valve 2 through the resin water inlet pipe 5 and is controlled by the electric multi-way valve. Valve 2 controls the filtration state, and the recycled water flows to the resin filter inlet pipe 3 and enters the resin filter 1. The calcium ions, magnesium ions and other cations in the recycled water undergo ion exchange reaction, and the softened water after filtration enters the next process through the resin outlet pipe 6. The resin in the resin filter 1 can selectively adsorb and exchange cations in the water by utilizing the special structure and characteristics of the resin. The sodium resin structure contains many exchange sites, which can react with cations such as calcium ions and magnesium ions in hard water. The resin has a high affinity for sodium ions. When the resin comes into contact with water, the sodium ions on the resin will be replaced by hardness substances such as calcium ions and magnesium ions in the water. When water passes through the resin layer, the resin will selectively adsorb and exchange cations such as calcium ions and magnesium ions in the hardness substances, releasing a certain amount of sodium ions, thereby reducing the hardness in the recycled water.

The regeneration salt barrel 7 is connected to two delivery pipes 8. The two delivery pipes 8 are respectively installed with a water addition control valve 9 and a regeneration salt barrel gas stirring valve 10. The regeneration salt barrel 7 is used for short-term and long-term storage of salt solution with a volume of 1m 2 The polyethylene container is connected to the regeneration salt barrel gas stirring valve 10 and the delivery pipe 8 for melting the medicine, and the delivery pipe 8 and the water adding control valve 9 for adding water for dispensing the medicine are connected. The filtration effect of the saturated resin filter 1 is significantly reduced. By adding water and explosive stirring, a 15% concentration of 1m 2 The sodium chloride solution is sent to the regeneration salt tank 7, and the regeneration salt is transported into the resin filter 1, so that the adsorption and exchange sites on the resin are refilled with sodium ions, and the hardness substances are washed out. The regenerated resin can continue to adsorb and exchange hardness substances in the water, realizing a continuous softening process and ensuring the filtration capacity of the resin filter 1. Compared with using a stronger acid as a regeneration agent, sodium ions (Na + ) has a weaker exchange capacity than hydrogen ions (H+ ) on the resin, but using strong acid as a regeneration agent will destroy the acid-base balance of the recycled water, thereby affecting the quality of the recycled water.

The regeneration salt flow rate is adjusted to 2m3 by passing through the regeneration salt float flowmeter 16 and the regeneration salt flow control valve 17. 2 / h, enters the electric multi-way valve 2 through the salt regeneration water inlet pipe 13, and enters the resin filter 1 under the control of the electric multi-way valve 2 to regenerate the resin.

[0030] The electric multi-way valve 2 consists of a valve body, a valve core, a drive device, a sealing element, a connector, etc., which are respectively connected to the resin water inlet pipe 5 (PVC-U, DN50), the resin filter water inlet pipe 3 (PVC-U, DN50), the resin filter water outlet pipe 4 (PVC-U, DN50), the salt regeneration water inlet pipe 13 (PVC-U, DN25), and the resin regeneration drainage pipe 18 (PVC-U, DN50). The connection status of each pipe is controlled by the electric multi-way valve 2 to realize filtration, forward washing, backwashing, and regeneration, thereby achieving precise control and stable operation of the valve.

[0031] A hardness softening method for a hardness softening device for sewage reprocessing, comprising the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: The recycled water enters the electric multi-way valve 2 through the resin water inlet pipe. The electric multi-way valve 2 controls the recycled water to flow to the resin filter water inlet pipe 3 and enter the resin filter 1 for treatment;

[0036] Step 5: The displaced hard water is discharged from the resin filter 1 through the resin regeneration drainage pipe 18 .
