Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a treatment device for wastewater from flame retardant production. Background Technology
[0002] The flame retardant is tetramethylolphosphine sulfate. The wastewater from the production of tetramethylolphosphine sulfate needs to undergo pretreatment → oxidation → biochemical treatment → deep treatment → concentration and reduction to ensure the treatment effect.

The storage rod is located in the first water tank. By treating the wastewater multiple times, the quality of wastewater treatment is improved, and the non-toxic liquid is separated and not treated together with the wastewater, thus improving environmental protection. Existing wastewater treatment devices for tetramethylol phosphate flame retardant production have high biological toxicity and poor biodegradability, making direct biological treatment difficult. Since tetramethylol phosphate has a strong bactericidal effect on microorganisms, direct entry into the biological system will inhibit microbial activity. At the same time, the treatment device for flame retardant production wastewater should comprehensively include the entire process of sedimentation, biological treatment, RO treatment, and evaporation to ensure treatment effect.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, a treatment device for wastewater from flame retardant production is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a treatment device for wastewater from flame retardant production, which solves the problem that existing treatment devices for tetramethylol phosphate flame retardant production wastewater in the background art have high biotoxicity and poor biodegradability, making direct biochemical treatment difficult. Since tetramethylol phosphate has a strong bactericidal effect on microorganisms, direct entry into the biochemical system will inhibit microbial activity. At the same time, the treatment device for flame retardant production wastewater should comprehensively include the entire process of sedimentation, biochemical treatment, RO treatment, and evaporation to ensure the treatment effect.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a treatment device for flame retardant production wastewater, comprising a Fenton oxidation mechanism, a biochemical treatment mechanism connected to one side of the Fenton oxidation mechanism, an RO treatment mechanism connected to one side of the biochemical treatment mechanism, a vacuum water intake mechanism connected to one side of the RO treatment mechanism, an evaporation and concentration mechanism fixedly installed on one side of the vacuum water intake mechanism, the Fenton oxidation mechanism including a Fenton oxidation tank, the biochemical treatment mechanism including a neutralization and stirring tank connected to the Fenton oxidation tank, a flocculation and stirring tank installed on one side of the neutralization and stirring tank, a microbial stirring tank installed on one side of the flocculation and stirring tank, a filter plate installed on one side of the microbial stirring tank, the RO treatment mechanism connected to the filter output end of the filter plate, the treated water output by the RO treatment mechanism being evaporated by the vacuum water intake mechanism, and the treated water output from the vacuum water intake mechanism being evaporated and concentrated by the evaporation and concentration mechanism before being output.
[0007] Furthermore, the Fenton oxidation mechanism also includes a wastewater pipe fixed to one side of the Fenton oxidation tank, and the output end of the Fenton oxidation tank is connected to a first water outlet pipe, on which a first water pump is fixedly installed.
[0008] Furthermore, the biochemical treatment mechanism also includes a biochemical treatment tank, wherein the neutralization stirring tank, the flocculation stirring tank and the microbial stirring tank are continuously located on one side of the biochemical treatment tank, and the filter plates are fixed side by side in the biochemical treatment tank.
[0009] Furthermore, a central trough is provided at the lower end of the biochemical treatment tank corresponding to the filter plate, and a second water outlet pipe is fixedly provided at the output end of the central trough, with two sets of the second water outlet pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the RO treatment mechanism includes a basket filter connected to one end of the second outlet pipe, and a second water pump is connected to one side of the basket filter.
[0011] Furthermore, the output end of the second water pump is connected to an RO membrane tube, and multiple sets of RO membrane tubes are arranged in parallel. The product water outlet of the RO membrane tube, i.e. the permeate output end, is connected to a water permeate membrane tube.
[0012] Furthermore, the RO membrane tube concentrate outlet, i.e. the concentrate output end, is connected to a waste pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, the vacuum water intake mechanism includes a third water pump connected to the output end of the water permeable membrane tube, and a vacuum tank is connected to one side of the third water pump.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention provides a treatment device for flame retardant production wastewater, which performs preliminary treatment of the flame retardant through Fenton oxidation, followed by biochemical treatment. The biochemical treatment is carried out in the following order: neutralization, flocculation, microbial treatment, and filtration, ensuring the optimal treatment efficiency. 2+ H2O2 is thoroughly mixed with wastewater to break down recalcitrant organic matter and reduce toxicity. The wastewater, after treatment in the Fenton oxidation tank, is then fed into the biochemical treatment unit. Due to the Fenton oxidation tank treatment, the wastewater is acidic at this stage. A neutralization mixing tank neutralizes the acidic wastewater, preventing strong acid from directly damaging the microbial cell membranes and creating a stable acid-base environment for subsequent biological treatment. This also prevents the acidic conditions from affecting the flocculant's effectiveness. The flocculation mixing tank is connected to the neutralization mixing tank. Flocculants are added to the flocculation mixing tank to remove suspended particulate matter, oxidation residues from pretreatment, and some inorganic phosphorus precipitates from the wastewater. The output end of the flocculation mixing tank is located on the upper side, ensuring that the wastewater entering the microbial mixing tank has undergone preliminary sedimentation treatment. The microorganisms in the microbial mixing tank focus on degrading residual organic matter and pollutants, avoiding the impact of impurities and pH levels in the early stages. The fluctuations inhibit the activity of the microbial community, improve the degradation efficiency, and the wastewater output from the microbial mixing tank is filtered through a filter plate. Subsequently, the pollutants are intercepted by the RO treatment unit, producing water that meets the standards. This solves the problem that the wastewater from the production of tetramethylol phosphate flame retardant is difficult to treat directly due to its high biotoxicity and poor biodegradability. Also, since tetramethylol phosphate has a strong bactericidal effect on microorganisms, directly entering the biological system would inhibit the activity of microorganisms.

It solves the problem that existing treatment devices for tetramethylolphosphine flame retardant production wastewater should comprehensively include the entire process of sedimentation, biochemical treatment, RO treatment, and evaporation to ensure the treatment effect.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] To address the challenges of directly treating the wastewater from the production of tetramethylolphosphine (TMS) flame retardants, which is characterized by high biotoxicity and poor biodegradability, traditional biological treatment methods are necessary. TMS has a strong bactericidal effect on microorganisms, and its direct introduction into the biological system would inhibit microbial activity. Furthermore, the treatment system for this flame retardant wastewater must comprehensively incorporate sedimentation, biological treatment, RO (reverse osmosis) treatment, and evaporation processes to ensure effective treatment. Figures 1-6 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided: A treatment device for wastewater from flame retardant production includes a Fenton oxidation unit 1, a biochemical treatment unit 2 connected to one side of the Fenton oxidation unit 1, an RO treatment unit 3 connected to one side of the biochemical treatment unit 2, a vacuum water intake unit 4 connected to one side of the RO treatment unit 3, and an evaporation and concentration unit 5 fixedly installed on one side of the vacuum water intake unit 4. The Fenton oxidation unit 1 includes a Fenton oxidation tank 11, the biochemical treatment unit 2 includes a neutralization and stirring tank 22 connected to the Fenton oxidation tank 11, a flocculation and stirring tank 23 installed on one side of the neutralization and stirring tank 22, a microbial stirring tank 24 installed on one side of the flocculation and stirring tank 23, a filter plate 25 installed on one side of the microbial stirring tank 24, the RO treatment unit 3 connected to the filter output end of the filter plate 25, the treated water output from the RO treatment unit 3 being drawn out by the vacuum water intake unit 4, and the treated water output from the vacuum water intake unit 4 being evaporated and concentrated by the evaporation and concentration unit 5 before being output.
[0020] Specifically, Fenton oxidation tank 11 performs Fenton oxidation treatment on tetramethylolphosphine flame retardant to ensure Fe 2+ H2O2 is thoroughly mixed with wastewater to break down recalcitrant organic matter and reduce toxicity. The wastewater, after treatment in Fenton oxidation tank 11, is then fed into biochemical treatment unit 2. Due to the treatment in Fenton oxidation tank 11, the wastewater is now acidic. Neutralization mixing tank 22 neutralizes the acidic wastewater, preventing strong acid from directly damaging the microbial cell membranes and creating a stable acid-base environment for subsequent biological treatment. This also prevents the acidic conditions from affecting the flocculant's effectiveness. Flocculation mixing tank 23 is connected to neutralization mixing tank 22. Flocculant is added to flocculation mixing tank 23 to remove suspended particulate matter, pre-treatment oxidation residues, and some inorganic phosphorus precipitates from the wastewater. The output end of flocculation mixing tank 23 is located on the upper side, ensuring that the wastewater entering microbial mixing tank 24 has undergone preliminary sedimentation treatment. The microorganisms in microbial mixing tank 24 focus on degrading residual organic matter and pollutants, avoiding the impact of impurities and pH levels in the early stages. The fluctuations inhibit the activity of the microbial community and improve the degradation efficiency. The wastewater output from the microbial stirring tank 24 is filtered through the filter plate 25 and then the RO treatment unit 3 intercepts pollutants to produce qualified water. The vacuum water intake unit 4 is used to remove air in the water channel, and the evaporation and concentration unit 5 realizes the crystallization and separation of salts.

The wastewater is then transported to the neutralization and mixing tank 22 by the first water pump 14 through the first outlet pipe 13.

[0023] The RO treatment unit 3 includes a basket filter 31 connected to one end of the second outlet pipe 27. A second water pump 32 is connected to one side of the basket filter 31. The function of the basket filter 31 is to intercept large particulate impurities in the wastewater, preventing these impurities from entering the RO membrane tube 33 and causing blockage or wear. The basket filter 31 is existing equipment, with a basket-shaped filter element inside for easy disassembly and cleaning. The second water pump 32 provides power for the filtration of the RO membrane tube 33. The output end of the second water pump 32 is connected to the RO membrane tube 33.

The RO membrane tube 33 is existing technology. The arrangement of multiple RO membrane tubes 33 increases the treatment efficiency. The water permeable membrane tube 34 is connected to the central tube interface of the RO membrane tube 33, which is located off-center and is interconnected with the vacuum water priming mechanism 4. The concentrate outlet of the RO membrane tube 33, i.e. the concentrated liquid output end, is connected to the waste pipe 35. The pipeline connected to the waste pipe 35 leads to the wastewater ratio valve, the concentrate return pipe, or the drain outlet. The vacuum water priming mechanism 4 includes a third water pump 41 connected to the output end of the water permeable membrane tube 34. A vacuum tank 42 is connected to one side of the third water pump 41. The third water pump 41 draws water from the water permeable membrane tube 34 into the vacuum tank 42.
