The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for harmlessly treating graphite wastewater includes the following steps:

[0030] 1) Pretreatment module: The graphite wastewater is subjected to screen removal, neutralization sedimentation and coagulation sedimentation to complete the preliminary purification treatment;

[0031] 2) Deep treatment module, which treats graphite wastewater by adsorption, strong oxidation and membrane separation.

[0033] 4) Conduct discharge testing on the purified graphite wastewater to ensure it meets discharge standards;

[0034] 5) Purified graphite wastewater that meets emission standards is discharged into water bodies.

[0035] In step 1), the grid impurity removal uses a mechanical grid to filter and remove impurities from the graphite wastewater. The mechanical grid periodically cleans the surface-attached filter impurities. The grid bar spacing of the mechanical grid gradually decreases along the flow direction. By performing the grid impurity removal process before the graphite wastewater purification, the large suspended solids, floating materials, fiber materials, solid particle impurities, and relatively coarse objects that can block the water pump set and pipeline valves are removed, thereby protecting the subsequent treatment equipment from damage and improving the operation status and treatment effect of the subsequent treatment process. The use of a mechanical grid for impurity removal can periodically clean the impurities, maintaining the stable filtering and impurity removal efficiency of the grid.

The use of a mechanical grid for impurity removal can periodically clean the impurities, maintaining the stable filtering and impurity removal efficiency of the grid.

[0037] In step 2), activated carbon and resin are added to the graphite wastewater for adsorption to remove organic matter, heavy metals, and other harmful substances. Through adsorption treatment of the graphite wastewater, the high specific surface area and rich pore structure of the adsorbent can effectively adsorb pollutants in the wastewater, providing deep purification treatment for the graphite wastewater.

Through adsorption treatment of the graphite wastewater, the high specific surface area and rich pore structure of the adsorbent can effectively adsorb pollutants in the wastewater, providing deep purification treatment for the graphite wastewater.

[0039] Embodiment 5: The membrane separation technology in step 2 is used to treat the graphite wastewater by using a microfiltration semi-permeable membrane with a pore size ranging from 0.1 microns to 1 micron. The microfiltration semi-permeable membrane can remove macromolecular substances such as organic matter, suspended matter, and microorganisms in the graphite wastewater, so that the wastewater meets the discharge standard. The microfiltration semi-permeable membrane has higher efficiency and lower cost compared to ultrafiltration and nanofiltration semi-permeable membranes.

[0042] Embodiment 8: The discharge requirement detection in step 4 detects the content of substances in the purified wastewater that does not meet the standard. Based on the analysis of the content of the substances, the non-standard purified wastewater is returned to the corresponding purification steps in steps 1 to 3 for secondary purification treatment.

The use of a mechanical grid for impurity removal can periodically clean the impurities, maintaining the stable filtering and impurity removal efficiency of the grid.

[0045] S2, the graphite wastewater is sequentially subjected to neutralization and impurity removal treatment and coagulation and sedimentation treatment. The pH value of the wastewater is adjusted to convert heavy metal ions into hydroxide precipitates. The coagulant can form large flocs and precipitate, further removing suspended matter, colloids, and part of the organic matter in the wastewater, thereby fully purifying the graphite wastewater and avoiding the influence of internal impurities and acidity on the purification effect of subsequent oxidation treatment and other advanced treatment.

[0047] 1. This graphite wastewater harmless treatment system and method removes large suspended solids, floating matter, fibrous materials, solid particulate impurities, and larger objects that may clog pump units and pipeline valves from the graphite wastewater before purification by performing a bar screen removal process. This protects subsequent treatment equipment from damage, thereby improving the operation and treatment effect of subsequent processes. The use of mechanical bar screens allows for periodic cleaning of impurities, maintaining a stable filtration efficiency. By sequentially neutralizing and removing impurities from the graphite wastewater and then coagulating and settling it, the pH value of the wastewater is adjusted, causing heavy metal ions to be converted into hydroxide precipitates. The coagulant forms larger flocs that settle, further removing suspended solids, colloids, and some organic matter from the wastewater. This provides a thorough preliminary purification of the graphite wastewater, preventing internal impurities and acidity from affecting the purification effect of subsequent deep treatments such as oxidation.

[0048] 2. This graphite wastewater harmless treatment system and method utilizes the high specific surface area and abundant pore structure of the adsorbent to effectively adsorb pollutants in the wastewater, achieving deep purification. Through strong oxidation treatment, highly oxidizing free radicals (such as hydroxyl radicals) are generated in the wastewater. These free radicals can non-selectively attack organic matter in the wastewater, oxidizing and decomposing residual organic matter into harmless small molecules, or even mineralizing them into carbon dioxide and water. Strong oxidation technology has advantages such as high treatment efficiency, fast reaction speed, and wide applicability, significantly improving the purification efficiency and cleanliness of graphite wastewater.

[0049] 3. The graphite wastewater harmless treatment system and method uses a microfiltration semi-permeable membrane to perform membrane separation treatment on the graphite wastewater. The microfiltration semi-permeable membrane can remove organic matter, suspended solids, microorganisms and other macromolecular substances in the graphite wastewater, so that the wastewater meets the discharge standards. Moreover, the microfiltration semi-permeable membrane has higher filtration efficiency and lower cost than ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and other semi-permeable membranes.
