Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial wastewater treatment, and in particular to a method and equipment for separating and enriching metal wastewater based on intelligent pH control. Background Technology

[0002] In practical applications, related polymetallic wastewater treatment technologies face severe automation and control bottlenecks, making it difficult to achieve stable, efficient, and economical results. Specifically, firstly, they are highly dependent on manual operation, making real-time data acquisition difficult. Traditional processes rely on frequent sampling and offline testing by professionals, resulting in significant system lag and an inability to adjust to dynamic fluctuations in influent water quality in real time. Simultaneously, the lack of real-time online monitoring of key heavy metal ions leads to insufficient control precision for core parameters (such as pH and ORP, making it difficult to achieve precise stepwise precipitation and separation of polymetallic ions.) Secondly, the level of intelligent decision-making and control is low. Reagent dosing relies mainly on experience-based estimations, resulting in inconsistent dosages. This not only causes large fluctuations in treatment effectiveness and difficulty in standardization but also leads to significant waste of reagent resources and the risk of secondary pollution. Furthermore, multimetal stepwise separation involves complex coordination of multiple related parameters such as pH, ORP, and concentration, making it difficult for traditional manual control modes to achieve optimal operation of the entire process chain.

[0003] The convergence of sensor technology, automatic control, and artificial intelligence algorithms has provided a new approach to solving the aforementioned challenges. Currently, there is an urgent need to develop an intelligent control system that integrates online monitoring, intelligent decision-making, precise execution, and self-optimization capabilities to fundamentally improve the automation, intelligence, and precision of polymetallic wastewater treatment processes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method and equipment for separating and enriching metal wastewater based on intelligent pH control. This method can achieve precise reagent dosing and process synergy in the separation and enrichment of metal wastewater, improve the control accuracy, processing efficiency and stability of metal separation, reduce reagent consumption, and has self-optimization capabilities.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following solution: Firstly, this application provides a method for separating and enriching metal wastewater based on intelligent pH control. This method is applied to a metal wastewater separation and enrichment system. The metal wastewater separation and enrichment system specifically includes: a PLC automatic control system, an online monitoring network, a reagent dosing system, and an automated process device.

The system controls a reagent dosing system and an automated process device to separate metal wastewater based on control commands. Specifically, this control includes: controlling the variable frequency metering pump to adjust the reagent dosage; controlling the start-up status of the automated process device; stabilizing wastewater quality through the regulating and mixing unit; instantaneously mixing the reagent and wastewater through the jet mixing system; and enriching and settling through the variable impeller agitator and ultrasonic co-reactor; controlling the solid-liquid separation equipment to separate the formed heavy metal precipitates from the water body, completing the enrichment. The PLC automatic control system uses wastewater monitoring data from the current time period to make intelligent control decisions and generate control commands. Specifically, this includes: using a reagent dosing prediction model based on the ion concentration, water temperature, and pH value of the current time period to obtain the required reagent dosage; adjusting the dosage using a PID controller based on the required and actual dosage to obtain a first control command for the variable frequency metering pump; and obtaining a second control command for the automated process device based on the ion concentration, water temperature, and pH value of the current time period.

[0007] According to the specific embodiments provided in this application, the following technical effects are disclosed: This application collects wastewater monitoring data within the current time period through an online monitoring network and sends it to a PLC automatic control system. The PLC automatic control system makes intelligent adjustment decisions based on the wastewater monitoring data within the current time period and generates control commands. Specifically, based on the ion concentration, water temperature, and pH value within the current time period, a reagent dosage prediction model is used to obtain the required reagent dosage for the current time period. This is then adjusted by a PID controller to obtain the first control command for the variable frequency metering pump. By dynamically correcting the control parameters, precise and adaptive adjustment of subsequent reagent dosage is achieved. Based on the ion concentration, water temperature, and pH value within the current time period, a second control command for the automated process device is obtained. These control commands drive the reagent dosing system and the automated process device to operate collaboratively, ultimately ensuring the efficient precipitation and separation of heavy metals. This application achieves precise reagent dosing and process synergy for metal wastewater separation and enrichment, improving the control accuracy, processing efficiency, and stability of metal separation.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0014] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] Example 1, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for separating and enriching metal wastewater based on intelligent pH control. This method is applied to a metal wastewater separation and enrichment system. The metal wastewater separation and enrichment system specifically includes: a PLC automatic control system 1, an online monitoring network 2, a reagent dosing system 3, and an automated process device 4. The online monitoring network 2, the reagent dosing system 3, and the automated process device 4 are all connected to the PLC automatic control system 1. The reagent dosing system 3 includes: a variable frequency metering pump and a reagent flow meter. The automated process device 4 includes: an adjustment and compatibility unit, a jet mixing system, a variable impeller agitator, an ultrasonic co-reactor, and a solid-liquid separation device. The method for separating and enriching metal wastewater based on intelligent pH control includes: S1. Collect wastewater monitoring data for the current period through online monitoring network 2 and send it to PLC automatic control system 1; the wastewater monitoring data for the current period includes ion concentration, pH value, water temperature, and actual dosage of reagents.

[0016] In one exemplary embodiment, the online monitoring network 2 includes: a heavy metal ion sensor and a pH sensor; the heavy metal ion sensor is used to obtain the concentration of heavy metal ions; and the pH sensor is used to obtain the pH value.

[0017] In one exemplary embodiment, the heavy metal ion concentration includes at least: Cr 3+ Cu 2+ Zn 2+ and Ni 2+ .

[0018] In one exemplary embodiment, there are multiple heavy metal ion sensors and pH sensors; the heavy metal ion sensors and pH sensors are embedded on the blades of the variable pitch impeller agitator, and the number of heavy metal ion sensors and pH sensors is the same as the number of blades of the variable pitch impeller agitator, with one heavy metal ion sensor and one pH sensor corresponding to each blade.

[0019] In one exemplary embodiment, the detection sections of the heavy metal ion sensor and the pH sensor are in contact with wastewater.

[0020] In one exemplary embodiment, both the heavy metal ion sensor and the pH sensor are fixedly mounted on the drive shaft of the variable impeller agitator.

[0021] In one exemplary embodiment, the pH values ​​are controlled within the following ranges: 5.0-5.5 for chromium precipitation, 6.2-6.8 for copper precipitation, 8.5-9.0 for zinc precipitation, and 10.5-11.5 for nickel precipitation, with a control precision of ±0.05 for each range.

[0022] S2. The PLC automatic control system 1 makes intelligent control decisions based on the wastewater monitoring data in the current time period and generates control commands.

[0023] Among them, the PLC automatic control system 1 makes intelligent control decisions based on wastewater monitoring data within the current time period and generates control commands, specifically including: 1) Based on the ion concentration, water temperature, and pH value in the current time period, the required amount of reagent to be applied in the current time period is obtained using the reagent application prediction model.

[0024] 2) Based on the required dosage and actual dosage of the drug in the current time period, the PID controller is adjusted to obtain the first control command for the variable frequency metering pump.

[0025] 3) Based on the ion concentration, water temperature, and pH value in the current time period, obtain the second control command for the automated process device 4.

[0026] Optionally, intelligent control decisions can also be further adjusted (customized) based on heavy metal control strategies.

[0027] The heavy metal control strategies are as follows: 1) Chromium separation and enrichment control strategy: Cr 6+ Reduction control: PID control of sodium metabisulfite dosage based on ORP feedback; Fe 3+ Coprecipitation control: based on total Cr 3+ FeCl3 concentration control; precise pH regulation: using a fuzzy-PID composite control algorithm to achieve precise NaOH dosing; variable impeller-ultrasound coordinated control: automatically adjusting the stirring intensity and ultrasonic power according to the influent concentration.

[0028] 2) Copper separation and enrichment control strategy: Thiourea dosing control: based on Cu 2+ Concentration ratio control; precise pH regulation: segmented PID control is used to ensure that the pH is stable within the range of 6.2-6.8; reactor parameter optimization: optimal control based on reaction kinetic model.

[0029] 3) Zinc separation and enrichment control strategy: Sodium carbonate dosing control: based on Zn 2+ Adaptive proportional control of concentration; pH regulation: PID control with feedforward compensation.

[0030] 4) Nickel separation and enrichment control strategy: step-by-step alkali increase control: based on gradient adaptive algorithm; solid-liquid separation control: based on pressure and flow rate dual closed-loop control.

[0031] 5) Crystal particle circulation control strategy: seed concentration control based on turbidity measurement; adaptive flow control to ensure the optimal seed reflux ratio.

[0032] In addition, the reaction temperature control strategy is based on electric heating and automatic regulation of cooling water.

[0033] In one exemplary embodiment, the method for constructing a drug delivery prediction model includes: 1) Obtain historical wastewater monitoring datasets, each dataset including reagent dosage, ion concentration, water temperature, and pH value during the collection period.

[0034] 2) Clean the historical wastewater monitoring dataset to remove outliers and obtain the first dataset.

[0035] 3) Based on the first dataset obtained, construct an initial dosage-predicted pH value model using an LSTM model.

[0036] In the dosage-predicted pH model, ion concentration and water temperature serve as key input features. Ion concentration reflects the content level of target metal ions (or heavy metal ions) in the wastewater. Different metal ions exhibit varying equilibrium constants for precipitation reactions under different conditions, and ion concentration directly affects the pH value and dosage required to achieve the corresponding precipitation efficiency. Water temperature influences the rate constant of the chemical reaction, the solubility of the precipitate, and the mass transfer process. Temperature changes alter the reaction kinetics and equilibrium state between the reagent and metal ions, thus affecting the actual required dosage. Ion concentration and water temperature together provide the LSTM model with real-time characteristics of the wastewater conditions, enabling the LSTM model to fit the dynamic relationship between dosage and pH under multi-factor coupling based on historical data, thereby achieving precise intelligent control.

[0037] 4) Establish the objective function based on the first dataset. ;in, , These are the weighting coefficients; the pH loss function is established based on the pH value corresponding to each dosage and the predicted pH value.

[0038] The pH loss function quantifies the degree of inconsistency between the model's predictions and the actual values. Specifically, it measures the difference between the pH value predicted by the model and the actual pH value monitored, given a given dosage. In the objective function, the pH loss function prevents the model from sacrificing pH control accuracy to "save on pesticides" (minimize the dosage), ensuring that the system maintains a balanced dosage while meeting pH control accuracy requirements.

[0039] 5) Using the objective function as a constraint, optimize the initial dosage-predicted pH model to obtain the optimal dosage-predicted pH model, which is the drug delivery prediction model.

[0040] The S3.PLC automatic control system 1 controls the reagent dosing system 3 and the automated process device 4 to separate metal wastewater based on control commands. Specifically, the control of the reagent dosing system 3 and the automated process device 4 to separate metal wastewater includes: controlling the variable frequency metering pump to adjust the dosage of reagents; controlling the start-up status of the automated process device 4; stabilizing the wastewater quality by adjusting the mixing unit; instantaneously mixing the reagents and wastewater by the jet mixing system; and enriching and settling by the variable impeller agitator and the ultrasonic co-reactor; and controlling the solid-liquid separation equipment to separate the formed heavy metal precipitates from the water body to complete the enrichment.

[0041] In one exemplary embodiment, the metal wastewater separation and enrichment system further includes a crystal particle circulation control unit; the crystal particle circulation control unit controls the seed crystal concentration through turbidity measurement.

[0042] In practical applications, the metal wastewater separation and enrichment system adopts a three-layer control architecture: 1) Field layer: including various sensors (pH, ORP, heavy metal ions, temperature, etc.) and actuators (variable frequency pumps, electric valves, variable pitch impeller agitators, ultrasonic generators, etc.).

[0043] 2) Control layer: A control system with PLC as its core, including a data acquisition module, a control algorithm module, and an execution output module.
