Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to wastewater treatment technology, specifically to equipment and methods for the deep treatment of high-salt heavy metal wastewater based on gradient purification. Background Technology

[0002] High-salt heavy metal wastewater mainly originates from industries such as electroplating, metallurgy, chemical processing, mining, and electronic component manufacturing. This type of wastewater has a complex composition, high salt concentration, and contains various toxic heavy metal ions such as copper, nickel, chromium, cadmium, and lead. If discharged directly without proper treatment, it will pose a serious threat to the aquatic ecosystem and human health.

[0003] Currently, the treatment of this type of wastewater typically employs a combination of separate and graded processes. Common treatment methods include chemical precipitation, adsorption, ion exchange, membrane separation, and biological methods. However, in practical engineering applications, single or simple combined processes face significant challenges:

[0004] Inhibitory effects of high salinity: High salinity environments severely weaken the efficiency of chemical precipitation, leading to huge amounts of precipitant dosage and the generation of large quantities of hazardous sludge containing heavy metals; at the same time, high salinity can also inhibit or toxicize microorganisms, making traditional biological methods difficult to apply.

[0005] Bottlenecks in the application of membrane separation technology: Although membrane technologies (such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration) can effectively desalinate and remove heavy metals, when faced with wastewater with high salt, high hardness, high heavy metals and complex organic matter, membrane modules are prone to severe scaling, organic pollution and heavy metal poisoning, which leads to a sharp drop in membrane flux, increased operating pressure, increased cleaning frequency, shortened membrane life, and high operating and maintenance costs.

[0006] Challenges in process integration and resource recovery: Existing combined processes are often single-function, poorly integrated, and lack systematic design. They are difficult to achieve both efficient removal of pollutants and fractional concentration and resource recovery of salts and heavy metals, which can easily lead to secondary pollution and resource waste.

[0007] To overcome the bottlenecks of existing high-salt heavy metal wastewater treatment technologies, such as severe membrane fouling and poisoning due to high salt and heavy metal content, and high operating costs, and to seek a long-term solution that can fundamentally reduce membrane load and prevent membrane poisoning, the industry has conducted numerous explorations. The following related solutions are disclosed in existing technologies:

[0008] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN114804336A discloses a device and method for reducing membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors. In this patent application, a high-field-strength permanent magnet is placed inside or outside a flat-sheet membrane module. Based on the magnetobiological effect mechanism, the stronger magnetic field near the permanent magnet inhibits membrane fouling, while the weaker magnetic field distributed within the reaction zone improves the biological treatment process, thus achieving the goal of simultaneously reducing membrane fouling and improving treatment efficiency. This method utilizes a static magnetic field to delay membrane fouling while simultaneously improving the biological treatment process, achieving two goals at once. Furthermore, this method offers long-term benefits with a single investment, without secondary pollution or other potential hazards. While retaining the advantages of traditional flat-sheet membrane bioreactors, it further enhances treatment efficiency and stability, demonstrating strong application potential in various types of wastewater treatment.

[0009] However, the core of the aforementioned existing technologies lies in in-situ intervention and performance optimization of wastewater that has already entered the membrane system, without fundamentally altering the wastewater quality before it enters the membrane system. Specifically, they fail to effectively remove or separate ions such as calcium, magnesium, and silicon that cause membrane fouling, as well as heavy metal ions that cause irreversible fouling of the membrane surface. In high-salt and high-hardness environments, the deposition and adsorption of these pollutants on the membrane surface are the main causes of membrane performance degradation.

[0010] Therefore, existing technologies still lack an integrated solution that can achieve source control from the process flow design, systematically remove most suspended solids, colloids, scaling ions and heavy metal ions before wastewater enters the core membrane separation unit through the synergy of multi-stage pretreatment units, thereby providing safe influent conditions for the membrane unit and taking into account the potential for resource recovery of pollutants. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The purpose of this invention is to provide a deep treatment device and method for high-salt heavy metal wastewater based on gradient purification, so as to solve the problems of severe membrane fouling and membrane poisoning failure caused by direct impact of high-salt heavy metal wastewater on membrane separation units in the prior art.

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-salt heavy metal wastewater deep treatment device based on gradient purification, comprising a cyclone separation module, a conditioning module, a desalination module, and a heavy metal deep removal module connected sequentially along the wastewater treatment flow direction. Each of the cyclone separation module, conditioning module, desalination module, and heavy metal deep removal module is supported by a rigid frame and encapsulated by a detachable sealing cover, forming an integrated treatment device connected in series according to the treatment gradient.

[0013] The cyclone separation module is used for wastewater purification and heavy sludge separation. It includes an integrated housing and cyclone separation units. The integrated housing has a wastewater tank and a treatment water tank nested inside and outside. A sludge collection box is set on the outer side of the bottom of the treatment water tank. The cyclone separation units are arranged in four groups in parallel. The inlet of each cyclone separation unit is connected to the wastewater tank, and its outlet is connected to the treatment water tank. The bottom of the cyclone separation unit is provided with a sludge discharge port connected to the sludge collection box. The bottom of the treatment water tank is provided with a wastewater outlet A, which is connected to the conditioning module through a pipeline and a booster pump.

[0014] The conditioning module is used to regulate water quality and break down heavy metal complexes. The conditioning module includes a conditioning tank and a pH dosing unit, a mixing reactor, and a pH / ORP monitoring probe configured in the conditioning tank. The module receives the effluent from the cyclone separator and optimizes the chemical conditions of the wastewater by precisely adding acid / alkali, complex-breaking agents, and micro-flocculators, thus creating conditions for subsequent processes.

[0015] The desalination module is connected to the outlet B of the conditioning module through the inlet pipe. The desalination module is an electrochemical desalination device.

[0016] The heavy metal deep removal module is connected to the desalination outlet C of the desalination module. The heavy metal deep removal module includes a removal tank, a biological agent dosing unit, a microbial floc agglomeration unit, an inclined conveyor belt slag transfer unit, and a slag collection hopper.

[0017] Furthermore, the slag collection box is a side-tilting cylindrical bucket, with its output end extending through the cover plate of the frame to the outside of the equipment.

[0018] Furthermore, the biological agent dosing unit is installed on the top side of the desorption tank and is used to quantitatively add liquid or powdered special microbial adsorption agents into the desorption tank. The microbial floc agglomeration unit and the inclined conveyor belt slag transfer unit are both installed inside the desorption tank. The microbial floc agglomeration unit is used to drive its actuator to unfold after the adsorption reaction is completed and to gather the microbial flocs floating on the water surface to the designated area.

[0019] Furthermore, the microbial floc agglomeration unit includes a lifting electric cylinder, a bidirectional moving slide, and agglomeration components. The lifting electric cylinder is fixed to the top wall of the removal box, and the shaft end of the lifting electric cylinder is connected to the bidirectional moving slide. Agglomeration components are installed on both sliding ends of the bidirectional moving slide.

[0020] Furthermore, the gathering assembly includes a drive component, a bracket, a disc, a rotating rod, a first swing rod, a V-shaped connecting rod, a second swing rod, a first gathering arm, and a second gathering arm. The bracket is connected to the two sliding ends of the bidirectional moving slide, and an elongated opening is provided on the bracket. The first gathering arm and the second gathering arm are respectively hinged to both sides of the elongated opening of the bracket. The drive component is fixed to the bottom side of the bracket, and the shaft end of the drive component is connected to the disc. The rotating rod is hinged to the eccentric side of the end face of the disc.

[0021] Furthermore, the first swing arm and the V-shaped connecting rod are coaxially hinged to the free end of the rotating rod. The middle of the V-shaped connecting rod is movably connected to the bottom side of the support. The upper end of the V-shaped connecting rod is hinged to the second swing arm. The end of the first swing arm is hinged to the first gathering arm, and the end of the second swing arm is hinged to the second gathering arm.

[0022] Furthermore, the input side of the inclined conveyor belt slag transfer unit is submerged below the liquid surface of the agglomeration area in the removal box. The surface of its conveyor belt is provided with a porous or grid structure to drain water during the lifting process. The output side of the inclined conveyor belt slag transfer unit is connected to the upper opening of the slag collection hopper, and its end is provided with a scraper or baffle to ensure that the bioflocs conveyed to the top are completely scraped off and introduced into the slag collection hopper.

[0023] Furthermore, a precision filter is installed between the outlet B of the conditioning module and the inlet pipe of the desalination module.

[0024] The advanced treatment method for high-salt heavy metal wastewater based on gradient purification, implemented using the aforementioned advanced treatment equipment, includes the following steps:

[0025] S1: The high-salt heavy metal wastewater to be treated is pumped into the wastewater tank of the cyclone separation module. The cyclone separation unit is started, and the wastewater achieves rapid separation of heavy particles, gravel and liquid under the action of centrifugal force. The separated heavy slag falls into the slag collection box through the slag discharge port at the bottom and is discharged externally periodically. The wastewater that has undergone primary purification enters the treatment water tank and is transported to the conditioning module by the lift pump.

[0026] S2: The conditioning module receives wastewater from S1, monitors the water quality in real time through a pH / ORP monitoring probe, and controls the pH reagent dosing unit to precisely add acid and alkali reagents to adjust the pH of the wastewater to the preset range. Subsequently, complex-breaking agents and micro-flocculating agents are added in sequence. Under the stirring action of the mixing reactor, the heavy metal complexes are destroyed, and the colloids and suspended solids are micro-flocculated to form a suspension system that is easy to process later.

[0027] S3: The wastewater treated by S2 is pumped into the electrochemical desalination unit of the desalination module after the residual suspended solids are removed by a precision filter; the electrochemical desalination unit is turned on to generate desalinated fresh water in the fresh water chamber, and the high salt concentrate is exported separately; the desalinated fresh water enters the heavy metal deep removal module through the desalination outlet C.

[0028] S4: Deep removal of heavy metals through bio-adsorption;

[0029] S4.1: Microbial adsorption agents are added to the desalinated fresh water in the desalination tank through the biological agent dosing unit; within the set reaction time, the microbial cells adsorb and enrich the residual heavy metal ions in the water, forming a floating microbial floc layer;

[0030] S4.2: After the adsorption reaction is completed, the microbial floc aggregation unit is activated. The lifting electric cylinder drives the bidirectional moving slide to descend to the set height. Then, the bidirectional moving slide drives the aggregation components on both sides to move synchronously towards the center of the removal box. During this process, the driving component is activated. Through the linkage of the disc, rotating rod, swing rod and V-shaped connecting rod, the first aggregation arm and the second aggregation arm are driven to expand outward and descend synchronously to form an aggregation barrier that gathers from both sides to the center, slowly driving the floating microbial flocs to gather in the central collection area.

[0031] S4.3: Start the inclined conveyor belt slag transfer unit; its input side is submerged below the floc layer in the collection area, the conveyor belt runs, and the flocs are discharged and drained during the inclined lifting process; the flocs conveyed to the top are scraped off by the scraper at the end and introduced into the slag collection hopper, completing the transfer and collection of biological residues.

[0032] S4.4: After solid-liquid separation is completed, the clear liquid in the removal tank is discharged through the purified water outlet.

[0033] Compared with existing technologies, the high-salt heavy metal wastewater deep treatment equipment and method based on gradient purification provided by this invention modularly integrates and sequentially connects four wastewater treatment processes: physical separation, chemical conditioning, electrochemical desalination, and biological adsorption. This constructs a step-by-step purification scheme from macro to micro and from coarse to fine treatment, enabling efficient separation of pollutants before they enter the core membrane unit. In particular, the two key pretreatment stages of electrochemical desalination and biological adsorption, located before the membrane system, fundamentally reduce the impact of high-salt heavy metal wastewater on the membrane separation unit. Specific technical effects include the following:

[0034] 1. Through a four-stage pretreatment process involving cyclone separation, chemical conditioning, electrochemical desalination, and biological adsorption, the vast majority of suspended solids, colloids, scaling ions, and heavy metal ions in the wastewater are removed, fundamentally improving the influent quality before it enters the subsequent membrane deep treatment unit. This avoids major failure modes such as membrane fouling, scaling, and heavy metal poisoning at the source, significantly reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0035] 2. The bio-adsorption module mechanically collects microbial residues enriched with heavy metals. Its small size and high heavy metal concentration facilitate centralized disposal or metal recovery. This gradient separation process enhances the overall resource recovery potential and reduces the amount of hazardous waste generated. Attached Figure Description

Example 1 aims to create high-quality influent conditions with low suspended solids, low hardness, and low heavy metal load for subsequent membrane separation or other advanced treatment units through multi-stage pretreatment, thereby reducing the risk of pollution and scaling in the core unit from the source and improving the overall system treatment efficiency and operational stability. In addition, the equipment adopts a modular design and integrated packaging, which makes it compact and easy to install and maintain.

[0057] 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, the heavy metal deep removal module 4 is connected to the desalination outlet C of the desalination module 3. The heavy metal deep removal module 4 includes a removal box 41, a biological agent dosing unit 42, a microbial floc agglomeration unit 43, an inclined conveyor belt slag transfer unit 44, and a slag collection hopper 45.

[0058] 2. In one embodiment of the present invention, the biological agent dosing unit 42 is installed on the top side of the removal box 41 and is used to quantitatively add liquid or powdered special microbial adsorption agents into the removal box 41. The microbial floc agglomeration unit 43 and the inclined conveyor belt slag transfer unit 44 are both installed inside the removal box 41. The microbial floc agglomeration unit 43 is used to drive its actuator to unfold after the adsorption reaction is completed and to gather the microbial flocs floating on the water surface to the designated area.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the microbial floc agglomeration unit 43 includes a lifting electric cylinder 431, a bidirectional moving slide 432, and agglomeration components. The lifting electric cylinder 431 is fixed to the top wall of the removal box 41, and the shaft end of the lifting electric cylinder 431 is connected to the bidirectional moving slide 432.

[0061] Working Principle: Example 2, building upon the gradient process of Example 1, further integrates a heavy metal deep removal module 4, thus forming a complete four-stage treatment chain from primary purification to deep adsorption. This module adsorbs residual heavy metal ions by adding microbial agents and utilizes a mechanical device consisting of a lifting electric cylinder 431, a bidirectional sliding table, and a linkage-type gathering arm to efficiently gather the adsorbed floating microbial flocs to a specific area.

9. A method for deep treatment of high-salt heavy metal wastewater based on gradient purification, implemented using the deep treatment equipment described in any one of claims 1-8, the method comprising the following steps: S1: The high-salt heavy metal wastewater to be treated is pumped into the wastewater tank (11) of the cyclone separation module (1), and the cyclone separation unit (13) is started. Under the action of centrifugal force, the wastewater achieves rapid separation of heavy particles, gravel and liquid. The separated heavy slag falls into the slag collection box (14) through the slag discharge port at the bottom and is discharged periodically. The wastewater after primary purification enters the treatment water tank (12) and is transported to the conditioning module (2) by the lift pump. S2: Conditioning module (2) receives wastewater from S1, monitors water quality in real time through a monitoring probe, controls the pH reagent dosing unit to accurately add acid and alkali reagents, and adjusts the pH of the wastewater to the preset range; then, it adds complex-breaking agent and micro-flocculating agent in sequence, and completes the destruction of heavy metal complexes and micro-flocculation of colloids and suspended solids under the stirring action of the mixing reactor, forming a suspension system that is easy to process later; S3: After the wastewater treated by S2 is filtered to remove residual suspended solids, it is pumped into the electrochemical desalination device of the desalination module (3); the electrochemical desalination device is turned on to generate desalinated fresh water in the fresh water chamber, and the high salt concentrate is exported separately; the desalinated fresh water enters the heavy metal deep removal module (4) through the desalination outlet C. S4: Deep removal of heavy metals through biological adsorption; S4.1: Microbial adsorption agent is added to the desalinated fresh water in the desalination tank (41) through the biological agent addition unit (42); within the set reaction time, the microbial cells adsorb and enrich the residual heavy metal ions in the water to form a floating microbial floc layer. S4.2: After the adsorption reaction is completed, the microbial floc aggregation unit (43) is started. The lifting cylinder (431) drives the bidirectional moving slide (432) to descend to the set height. Then the bidirectional moving slide (432) drives the aggregation components on both sides to move synchronously towards the center of the removal box (41). During this process, the driving component is started. Through the linkage of the disc (434), the rotating rod (435), the swing rod and the V-shaped connecting rod, the first aggregation arm (438) and the second aggregation arm (439) are driven to expand outward and descend synchronously, forming an aggregation barrier that gathers from both sides to the center, slowly driving the floating microbial flocs to gather in the central collection area.
