Grinding fluid wastewater from grinding machines is a common and difficult-to-treat wastewater in industrial processing. Its composition is complex, containing pollutants such as metal particles, abrasives, lubricating oil, and surfactants. Direct discharge of such wastewater can cause serious harm to the environment.
[0003] Currently, in the treatment of grinding fluid wastewater from grinding mills, the wastewater contains oils, suspended solids, various heavy metal ions, and recalcitrant organic pollutants, resulting in complex and fluctuating composition. Existing conventional single and simple combination treatment methods cannot dynamically adjust the process parameters and reagent dosage of each treatment unit according to the real-time changes in the influent water quality. This leads to incomplete demulsification, excessive consumption of chemical reagents, or insufficient reaction, resulting in increased load on subsequent treatment and higher operating costs.

[0084] The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate was tested in a laboratory simulation or on an actual treatment line. Samples were taken at the inlet of the treatment system, after the advanced oxidation reaction, at the effluent of the biological treatment, and at the outlet of the final product water. The COD value of the water samples was determined by the potassium dichromate method according to the standard method, and the COD removal rate of each unit and the whole was calculated.
[0085] For the heavy metal ion removal rate test, samples were taken at the inlet of the treatment system and the final product water outlet. After the water samples were pretreated by digestion, the total chromium concentration was determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry or atomic absorption spectrometry, and the removal rate was calculated.
[0086] The sludge reduction rate and resource recovery effect test recorded and weighed the amount of original sludge generated during one complete cycle of the method. After being processed by the concentration, dewatering and pyrolysis steps described in the method, the mass of the final solid residue was weighed and calculated, and the sludge reduction rate was calculated. X-ray diffraction and component analysis were performed on the solid products after pyrolysis to identify and qualitatively evaluate the types and enrichment of metal oxides.
[0087] The total suspended solids (TSS) removal rate test involves taking samples at the inlet and outlet of the treatment system, shaking them thoroughly, filtering a certain volume of water sample using a constant-weight filter membrane, drying the filter membrane and the retained material at a specific temperature to constant weight, calculating the concentration of total suspended solids in the water sample based on the mass difference of the filter membrane before and after filtration and the volume of the water sample, and calculating the removal rate of this index by the system.

[0090] By comparing and analyzing the data in the table, it can be seen that the grinding fluid wastewater treated by the complete process in Examples 1-3 exhibits excellent key performance indicators. This indicates that the specific supported heterogeneous catalyst used in the multi-stage chemical purification steps, with its surface-constructed nano-zero-valent iron and copper oxide composite active components, can enhance the generation efficiency and stability of free radicals during advanced oxidation processes. Together with the optimized composite coagulant in the coagulation and sedimentation steps, it forms a highly efficient and continuous removal system for heavy metal ions and recalcitrant organic pollutants. At the same time, the demulsifier composed of specific components in the pretreatment step, through the synergistic effect of various components, achieves rapid demulsification of the emulsified oil phase in the grinding fluid wastewater, creating favorable conditions for subsequent deep treatment, thereby improving the overall purification efficiency and operational stability of the process. The advanced biochemical treatment step activates and maintains the metabolic activity of functional microbial communities by adding a specific ratio of microbial growth promoters in the hydrolysis and acidification stage, enabling them to efficiently degrade residual organic pollutants after the initial chemical purification. Simultaneously, the process conditions of the hydrolysis and acidification and aerobic biological treatment stages are synergistically optimized to form a highly efficient biological metabolic chain. This chain, closely integrated with the pre-treatment chemical purification and post-treatment membrane separation system, constructs a multi-layered, complementary barrier for pollutant degradation and separation, enhancing the system's ability to cope with water quality fluctuations and ensuring the long-term stable compliance of the final effluent quality. The sludge treatment step involves the unified low-temperature pyrolysis and resource recovery of sludge generated from each stage. This process not only reduces sludge volume and renders it harmless but also recovers the enriched metal oxide components through the sorting of the pyrolysis products. Furthermore, the residual carbonaceous components possess the potential to serve as adsorbent materials and fuel, transforming waste into reusable resources. This achieves an organic combination of waste disposal and resource recovery, thereby improving the sustainability and environmental and economic benefits of the entire wastewater treatment method.
[0091] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the treatment method of the present invention not only achieves efficient and stable removal of pollutants from wastewater, but also demonstrates outstanding performance in sludge reduction and resource recovery. This indicates that the treatment method for grinding fluid wastewater provided by the present invention has superior overall performance.
