[0002] At present, sulfur autotrophic denitrification technology is widely used and mature in sewage denitrification treatment. Sulfur autotrophic denitrification is an autotrophic denitrification technology that uses elemental sulfur as an electron donor to reduce nitrate and nitrite to nitrogen.

The equipment of this preparation process is relatively complex, with large volume, wide area, complex preparation process, high energy consumption, intermittent production, low production efficiency, and unsuitable for small and medium-sized scale production.

[0049] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a melt extrusion device, which includes a screw conveying part, a screw driving part 33, a temperature control part 34, a heating module (not shown in the figure) and a controller (not shown in the figure).

[0051] The screw conveying part includes an extrusion barrel 31 and a twin screw 32 arranged in the extrusion barrel 31 and arranged along the axial direction of the extrusion barrel 31. The front end of the screw conveying part is provided with a feed port, and the rear end is an extrusion port. A hopper can be provided at the feed port. The screw conveying part is used to convey and mix materials.

[0052] The screw drive unit 33 is disposed at one end of the screw conveying unit package near the feed port, connected to one end of the twin screws 32, and drives the twin screws 32 to operate, thereby driving material conveying and mixing.

[0053] The temperature control unit 34 is disposed on the outer periphery of the extrusion cylinder 31 and is used to control the temperature inside the extrusion cylinder 31 .

[0054] The heating module is connected to the temperature control part 34 to provide heat energy to the temperature control part 34 .

[0055] The controller is connected with the screw driving part 33, the temperature control part 34 and the heating module, etc., to realize automatic control of the melt extrusion device.

[0056] Specifically, the temperature control part 34 is sequentially arranged in a plurality of temperature control sections 341 along the conveying direction of the extrusion barrel 31.

When the temperature in the temperature control section 341 is higher than the set temperature, the controller controls the water cooling circulation module to cool down the temperature control section 341 to ensure that the temperature is maintained within the set temperature range, thereby achieving precise temperature control.

[0063] Each control section 341 is provided with a temperature probe, which is connected to the controller and associated with the heating module and the water cooling circulation module, so as to better monitor and control the temperature of each temperature control section 341 .
