[0008] Optionally, the breakpoint chlorination comprises: controlling the second supernatant to enter the chlorination tank and controlling the PH value to be between 7 and 8; adding sodium hypochlorite and ammonia nitrogen, and controlling the mass ratio of sodium hypochlorite to ammonia nitrogen to be 1:7; introducing sodium chlorate to perform a breakpoint chlorination chemical oxidation reaction, and reducing the unreacted chlorine.

[0009] Optionally, after the third intermediate wastewater is subjected to a filtration treatment, the method further comprises: subjecting the filtered remaining slurry, the first subsidence and the second subsidence to pressure filtration dewatering for solid-liquid separation.

[0010] Optionally, the PH value of the target wastewater is adjusted, comprising: adjusting the PH value of the target wastewater to 2.5-3.

[0011] To achieve the above object and other related objects, the present application provides a high-concentration metal wastewater treatment system applied to the high-concentration metal wastewater treatment method, which comprises: a wastewater tank for storing target wastewater; an adjusting tank connected to the wastewater tank through a pipeline for adjusting the PH value of the target wastewater to form a first intermediate wastewater; a micro-electrolysis tank connected to the adjusting tank through a pipeline for micro-electrolysis treatment of the first intermediate wastewater to form a second intermediate wastewater; a chemical oxidation tank connected to the micro-electrolysis tank through a pipeline for oxidative decomposition of the second intermediate wastewater to form a third intermediate wastewater; a precipitation tank connected to the chemical oxidation tank through a pipeline for precipitation treatment of the third intermediate wastewater; a chlorination tank connected to the precipitation tank through a pipeline for breakpoint chlorination treatment of the wastewater after the precipitation treatment.

[0018] The embodiments of the present application are described below by specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the content disclosed in the specification.

[0019] The reference signs in the drawings of the specification include: wastewater tank 201, adjustment tank 202, micro-electrolysis tank 203, chemical oxidation tank 204, oxidation buffer tank 205, precipitation tank 206, chlorination tank 207, dechlorination tank 208, ultrafiltration tank 209, clean water tank 210, filter press 211.

[0020] First, some technical names in this application are explained as follows: Macromolecule generally refers to a compound with a large molecular weight, usually composed of thousands of atoms, with a long polymer chain and a complex molecular structure.

[0021] For example, macromolecular organic matter refers to organic matter with complex structure, difficult to be biodegraded or chemically oxidized, and its molecular weight may be as high as several thousand or even tens of thousands of Daltons (Da).

[0022] Secondly, small molecules refer to compounds with small molecular weights, usually composed of fewer atoms, with relatively simple molecular structures. Small molecule compounds often have fast reaction rates in chemical reactions. In wastewater treatment, small molecule organic matter may refer to organic matter with relatively simple structure, easy to be biodegraded or chemically oxidized, and its molecular weight may be as low as tens to hundreds of Daltons (Da).

[0023] As shown in Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a high-concentration metal wastewater treatment method is provided, comprising: Step S110, adjusting the pH value of the target wastewater to make the target wastewater acidic to form a first intermediate wastewater.

[0024] It should be noted that the target wastewater is metal wastewater, which can be nickel-iron wastewater, chromium-containing wastewater or copper-containing wastewater. Among them, the nickel-iron wastewater can be hydrogen production wastewater, electroplating wastewater or smelting wastewater, etc., which contains high-concentration nickel-iron. Nickel is a toxic heavy metal, which has potential harm to human health and ecological environment. High-concentration nickel-iron wastewater needs to be treated to meet the standard before being discharged. However, nickel is chemically active and easy to form strong cationic nickel (Ni²⁺) existing in wastewater, causing difficulty in wastewater treatment. At the same time, in addition to nickel ions, high-concentration nickel-iron wastewater also contains iron ions, other heavy metal ions, organic matter, acid and alkali substances, and the composition is relatively complex, which further increases the difficulty of wastewater treatment.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pH value is adjusted by adding an acid-base solution to make the target wastewater acidic, so as to improve the solubility of metal ions and prepare for the subsequent treatment steps.

[0026] Step S120, micro-electrolysis treatment is performed on the first intermediate wastewater to form a second intermediate wastewater, and the pH value of the second intermediate wastewater is higher than that of the first intermediate wastewater.

[0027] It is worth noting that micro-electrolysis treatment can change the structure and properties of many organic matters in high-concentration nickel-iron wastewater, achieving the purpose of degrading organic matter. And the micro-electrolysis effluent contains a large amount of Fe 2+The ferrous ions in the subsequent oxidation decomposition process are saved, and the Fe(OH)3 with flocculation and adsorption functions is generated, which can further improve the treatment effect of the wastewater. In addition, the pH value of the first intermediate wastewater after the micro-electrolysis is increased, which can effectively reduce the amount of alkali in the subsequent process and reduce the cost of the medicine.

[0028] In step S130, the second intermediate wastewater is subjected to oxidation decomposition, so that the macromolecular organic matters in the second intermediate wastewater are decomposed into small molecular organic matters or inorganic matters, to form third intermediate wastewater.

[0029] In the embodiment, the oxidation decomposition process causes the macromolecular organic matters in the second intermediate wastewater to undergo advanced oxidation reaction, to become small molecular organic matters or to be directly mineralized into inorganic matters such as carbon dioxide and water. At the same time, the nitrate ions and the sulfate ions are removed, and the metal nickel ions are formed into small flocculation groups, which are convenient for later treatment. Through the oxidation decomposition process, the refractory organic matters that cannot be removed by the traditional wastewater treatment technology can be effectively oxidized and removed.

[0030] In step S140, the third intermediate wastewater is subjected to precipitation treatment, breakpoint chlorination and filtration treatment in sequence, to obtain standard discharge water.

[0031] In the embodiment, after the high-concentration nickel-iron wastewater is subjected to the precipitation treatment, the heavy metal ions in the wastewater, especially the nickel ions and the iron ions, can be effectively removed. The breakpoint chlorination is further used to remove the pollution factors such as ammonia nitrogen. The filtration treatment is mainly used for solid-liquid separation, so that the final discharge water meets the national standards.

[0032] It is worth noting that the standard of the standard discharge water can be the national standard, or a water discharge standard higher than the national standard which is self-established according to the requirements. In an exemplary embodiment, the first intermediate stage wastewater is subjected to micro-electrolysis treatment, which includes step S210 and step S220.

[0033] In step S210, electrodes are constructed, and the first intermediate wastewater is used as an electrolyte solution to form a plurality of fine cells.

[0034] For example, in an acidic condition, the wastewater is used as an electrolyte solution, iron is used as an anode, and carbon-containing substances are used as a cathode, to form numerous fine primary cells.

[0035] In step S210, an electrochemical reaction occurs in the electrolyte solution.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the micro-electrolysis method is a good process for wastewater treatment by forming a primary cell using the principle of metal corrosion. It is to generate high and low potential difference by using micro-electrolysis materials filled in the wastewater to electrolyze the wastewater without electricity, so as to achieve the purpose of degrading organic pollutants. In the slightly acidic wastewater, the newly generated hydrogen in the electrode reaction can have an oxidation-reduction reaction with the organic and inorganic components in the wastewater, which can destroy the color-forming groups in the wastewater and even break the polymer chain, so as to achieve the purpose of decolorization. Iron is a active metal, which can reduce some nitro compounds to biodegradable amine compounds under acidic conditions. The iron ions and ferrous ions generated by electrolysis are hydrolyzed and polymerized to form iron hydroxide and ferrous hydroxide polymer, which exists in the form of colloid and has the functions of precipitation, flocculation and adsorption. The pollutants are flocculated and precipitated together, so as to remove the organic matter in the wastewater.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the process of performing the precipitation treatment on the third intermediate wastewater includes at least step S210 and step S220.

[0038] Step S210, performing the first precipitation treatment on the third intermediate wastewater to obtain first subsidence and first supernatant.

[0039] In this embodiment, a chemical precipitant is added to the third intermediate wastewater for the precipitation treatment.

[0040] For example, the chemical precipitant can be polyaluminum chloride (PAC) to improve the heavy metal removal efficiency. In addition to the precipitation effect, the polyaluminum chloride also has a certain coagulation and decolorization effect, which helps to improve the visual sense of the wastewater with color and reduce the burden of the subsequent treatment process.

[0041] Step S220, performing the second precipitation treatment on the first supernatant to obtain second subsidence and second supernatant.

[0042] In this embodiment, since the content of nickel ions in the first supernatant after single precipitation is still high, a coagulant and a flocculant need to be added for secondary precipitation.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the process of performing the first precipitation treatment on the third intermediate wastewater includes step S310 to step S340.

[0044] Step S310, increasing the PH value of the third intermediate wastewater to 10.0 or more to form a fourth intermediate wastewater.

[0045] For example, lime milk and sodium hydroxide are added to the third intermediate wastewater to increase the pH of the wastewater to 10.0 or more.

[0046] Step S320, adding a first flocculant to the fourth intermediate wastewater to cause hydrolysis and generate heterocharged colloids to contact with colloids and suspended solids in the water to form flocculation bodies.

[0047] For example, after adding the polyaluminum chloride (i.e., the first flocculant), hydrolysis occurs and generates heterocharged colloids to contact with colloids and suspended solids in the water to form fine flocculation bodies (commonly known as algae).

[0048] Step S330, adding a second flocculant to cause the flocculation bodies to flocculate into flocculation groups.

[0049] For example, adding polyacrylamide (i.e., the second flocculant) to form flocculation groups so that most heavy metal ions generate insoluble hydroxide precipitates in an alkaline environment.

[0050] Step S340, stirring the wastewater solution containing the flocculation groups.

[0051] It is worth noting that the appropriate stirring intensity enables the small flocculation bodies to collide with each other to form large flocculation bodies and prevents the large flocculation bodies from precipitating.

[0052] Step S350, allowing the flocculation groups to precipitate to form the first subsidence.

[0053] In this embodiment, the flocculation process is followed by sludge-water separation to form the first subsidence and the first supernatant.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, the breakpoint chlorination includes steps S410 to S430.

[0055] Step S410, controlling the second supernatant to enter a chlorination tank and controlling the pH value to be between 7 and 8.

[0056] It is worth noting that when the pH of the water entering the tank is controlled to be between 7 and 8, the removal rate of NH3-N (i.e., the ammonia nitrogen content index in the water) is better.

[0057] Step S420, adding sodium hypochlorite and ammonia nitrogen and controlling the mass ratio of the added sodium hypochlorite to the ammonia nitrogen to be 1:7.

[0058] It is worth noting that when the mass ratio of the added sodium hypochlorite to the ammonia nitrogen is controlled to be 1:7 during operation, the mass concentration of NH3-N in the water is basically below 10 mg / L.

[0059] Step S430, passing sodium chlorate to perform a breakpoint chlorination chemical oxidation reaction and reducing the unreacted chlorine.

[0060] It is worth mentioning that when the sodium hypochlorite is added into the wastewater containing ammonia nitrogen, when the amount reaches a certain value, the amount of chlorine ions contained in the wastewater is the least, and the concentration of ammonia is zero; continue to add sodium hypochlorite, and the free chlorine in the solution will increase. The value point is called the breakpoint, and the concentration of free chlorine ions is also the lowest in the wastewater. At this time, the chlorine is reduced, and the ammonia nitrogen is basically oxidized. Continue to add chlorine to produce free residual chlorine.

[0061] For example, the second supernatant wastewater enters the chlorination tank to further remove the pollution factors such as ammonia nitrogen by the method of breakpoint chlorination chemical oxidation, and then the unreacted chlorine is reduced in the dechlorination tank to reduce the secondary pollution caused by residual chlorine in water.

[0062] For example, when the unreacted chlorine is reduced, the dechlorination can be carried out by adding a reducing agent Na2S2O3 to ensure that the total residual chlorine index after dechlorination meets the discharge standard.

[0063] In an example embodiment, after the third intermediate wastewater is filtered, the method further comprises: pressure filtration dewatering the filtered remaining pulp, the first subsidence and the second subsidence to separate the solid and liquid.

[0064] In this embodiment, in order to increase the wastewater treatment effect, the filtered remaining pulp, the first subsidence and the second subsidence are pressure filtration dewatered to separate the solid and liquid. The pressure filtration dewatering will be returned to the wastewater tank for wastewater treatment.

[0065] In an example embodiment, the PH value of the target wastewater is adjusted, including: adjusting the PH value of the target wastewater to 2.5-3.

[0066] In this embodiment, in order to improve the treatment effect of the subsequent treatment process, the PH value of the target wastewater is adjusted to 2.5-3.

[0067] It should be noted that the pH is adjusted before microelectrolysis, which has the following but not limited effects: (1) to facilitate demulsification and separation; (2) to adjust the water quality so that the water quality is balanced, which is beneficial to the next process; (3) to keep the water inflow constant, to provide stable and quantifiable water supply for the subsequent process.

[0068] In an example embodiment of the present application, a high-concentration metal wastewater treatment system is provided for the high-concentration metal wastewater treatment method described above, and the system comprises: The wastewater tank 201 is used to store the target wastewater; The adjustment tank 202 is connected to the wastewater tank 201 through a pipeline to adjust the PH value of the target wastewater to form the first intermediate wastewater; The microelectrolysis tank 203 is connected to the adjustment tank 202 through a pipeline to microelectrolyze the first intermediate wastewater to form the second intermediate wastewater; The chemical oxidation tank 204 is connected with the micro-electrolysis tank 203 through a pipeline for water communication, and is used for oxidizing and decomposing the second intermediate wastewater to form third intermediate wastewater; The sedimentation tank 206 is connected with the chemical oxidation tank 204 through a pipeline for water communication, and is used for sedimentation treatment of the third intermediate wastewater; The chlorination tank 207 is connected with the sedimentation tank 206 through a pipeline for water communication, and is used for breakpoint chlorination treatment of the wastewater after the sedimentation treatment.

The dechlorination tank 208 is used for reducing the chlorine that has not been completely reacted, so as to reduce the secondary pollution caused by residual chlorine in the water, the ultrafiltration tank 209 is used for filtration treatment of the wastewater, and the clean water tank is used for storing the clean water output by the ultrafiltration tank.

The pH of the target wastewater is adjusted in the adjusting pool to increase the solubility of metal ions, so as to prepare for the subsequent micro-electrolysis treatment and improve the micro-electrolysis efficiency. The micro-electrolysis treatment is performed in the micro-electrolysis pool 203, so as to not only increase the pH of the wastewater, but also reduce the amount of chemicals used in the subsequent precipitation treatment and the like. Meanwhile, the Fe(OH)3 with flocculation and adsorption functions is generated in the micro-electrolysis effluent, so as to further improve the treatment effect of the wastewater. In addition, the micro-electrolysis treatment changes the structure and characteristics of many organic matters in the high-concentration nickel-iron wastewater, so as to achieve the purpose of degrading the organic matters. After the micro-electrolysis treatment, the macromolecular organic matters are subjected to the advanced oxidation reaction in the chemical oxidation pool 204, so as to become small-molecular organic matters or be directly mineralized into inorganic matters such as carbon dioxide and water. Meanwhile, the nitrate ions and the sulfate ions are also removed, so that the nickel ions form small flocculation groups, which are convenient for the subsequent treatment. Then, the third intermediate wastewater after the oxidation and decomposition is introduced into the precipitation pool 206 to perform the precipitation treatment, so as to precipitate the nickel-iron and other metal ions. The subsequent breakpoint chlorination and filtration treatment are performed, so that the effluent reaches the national standard, that is, the standard discharge water is obtained.
