[0032] It should be noted that the adsorption layer 3 is an activated carbon layer, and the functional groups on the pore wall of the activated carbon layer interact with the copper ions, such as the hydroxyl groups (OH) on the oxide surface react with the copper oxide (OH) in the copper ions to form an oxide-copper complex.

[0033] See also Figure 2In order to improve the efficiency of copper removal, the heating mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes a fixed box 401, a booster pump 402, a water inlet pipe 403, a water outlet pipe 404, an insulation layer 405, a drain pipe 406 and a first switch valve 407. The fixed box 401 is arranged on the outer surface of the reaction chamber 1, the booster pump 402 is fixed to the top of the left side of the fixed box 401, one end of the water inlet pipe 403 is connected to the water inlet end of the booster pump 402, one end of the water outlet pipe 404 is connected to the water outlet end of the booster pump 402, and one end of the water inlet pipe 403 is connected to the hot water source. The booster pump 402 is connected and then started. The booster pump 402 draws hot water into the inner cavity of the water outlet pipe 404 through the water inlet pipe 403. The insulation layer 405 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed box 401. The setting of the insulation layer 405 can prevent the temperature of the hot water from decreasing rapidly. One end of the drain pipe 406 is connected to the fixed box 401, and the other end of the drain pipe 406 passes through the right side wall of the inner cavity of the fixed box 401 and extends to the right side of the fixed box 401.

A thermometer is fixed to the right end of the upper surface of the fixed box 401.

[0036] It is understandable that the staff can check the temperature of the hot water in real time through a thermometer. When the temperature is low, the hot water in the inner cavity of the fixed box 401 can be discharged through the drain pipe 406 and the first switch valve 407, and hot water can be pumped in again.

[0037] See also Figure 3-4 In order to facilitate the replacement of the adsorption layer 3, the disassembly mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a driving member 61 and four limiting rods 62. The driving member 61 is arranged on the inner wall of the reaction chamber 1 and is used to drive the movement of the limiting rods 62. The four limiting rods 62 are arranged in the inner cavity of the fixing groove 5 and are used to fix the adsorption layer 3.

[0038] There are two slots on opposite sides of the front and rear side walls of the inner cavity of the fixing groove 5 , and the diameter of the inner cavity of the slots is matched with the outer diameter of the limiting rod 62 .

The left and right side walls of the inner cavity of the reaction chamber 1 are provided with cavities. The upper and lower ends of the bidirectional screw 611 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the inner cavity front and rear side walls of the cavity through bearings. The driven bevel gear 614 is fixed to the outer surface of the bidirectional screw 611, the active bevel gear 612 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 614, and the motor 613 is connected to the inner top wall of the cavity. The output shaft of the motor 613 is fixed to the active bevel gear 612, and the motor 613 is started. The output shaft of the motor 613 rotates, thereby driving the active bevel gear 612 to rotate. The active bevel gear 612 and the driven bevel gear 614 are meshed and connected, so that the driven bevel gear 614 can be driven to rotate, so that the bidirectional screw 611 rotates. The screw sleeve 615 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 611, and the right side of the screw sleeve 615 is fixed to the connecting plate 616. The right side of the connecting plate 616 passes through the inner wall of the reaction chamber 1 and extends to the inner cavity of the fixed groove 5.

The rotation of the bidirectional screw 611 makes the two screw sleeves 615 move relative to each other, and then drives the two connecting plates 616 to move relative to each other, thereby driving the limiting rod 62 to move out of the inner cavity of the slot, and then the adsorption layer 3 can be taken out.

[0041] It should be noted that a box cover is hinged on the upper surface of the reaction chamber 1, and the adsorption layer 3 can be taken out by opening the box cover.

The slide rod makes horizontal linear motion in the inner cavity of the slide bar, which can limit the movement of the screw sleeve 615.

[0042] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0043] (1) When using the copper removal device, first connect one end of the water inlet pipe 403 to the hot water source, then start the booster pump 402, the booster pump 402 pumps the hot water into the inner cavity of the water outlet pipe 404 through the water inlet pipe 403, and then enters the inner cavity of the fixed box 401 through the guidance of the water outlet pipe 404. At this time, keep the first switch valve 407 closed, and use hot water to heat the reaction chamber 1 located in the inner cavity of the fixed box 401 in a water bath, which can improve the effect and efficiency of copper removal. The temperature of the hot water is not easy to drop quickly by setting the insulation layer 405. The staff can check the temperature of the hot water in real time through the thermometer. When the temperature is low, the hot water in the inner cavity of the fixed box 401 can be discharged through the drain pipe 406 and the first switch valve 407, and the hot water can be pumped in again.

[0044] (2) In order to facilitate the replacement of the adsorption layer 3, first start the motor 613, the output shaft of the motor 613 rotates, and then drives the active bevel gear 612 to rotate. Through the meshing connection between the active bevel gear 612 and the driven bevel gear 614, the driven bevel gear 614 can be driven to rotate, and then the bidirectional screw 611 is rotated, so that the two screw sleeves 615 make relative movement, and then drive the two connecting plates 616 to make relative movement, thereby driving the limit rod 62 to move out of the inner cavity of the slot, and then the adsorption layer 3 can be taken out.
