Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of treating wastewater from the processing of Tibetan medicine, and particularly relates to a device for treating mercury-containing organic wastewater in the process of processing Tibetan medicine. Background Art
[0002] There are mainly three major methods for the processing of Zowa, namely, the method of removing dirt (rinsing) and detoxifying, the method of refining and detoxifying, and the method of pairing. However, during the processing of Tibetan medicine Zowa, wastewater with high mercury content, high chromaticity, high suspended solids and high COD will be generated.
[0003] The main raw materials for the refining of "Zowa" are mercury and sulfur, which contain more than 30 elements. Except for C, H, and O, the content of mercury sulfide and elemental sulfur is greater than 90%. The main component in the wastewater is β-mercury sulfide. During the processing of Tibetan medicine Zowa, a large amount of total mercury will be released into the environment and enter the human body through various channels (steam & dust), passing through the digestive tract and respiratory mucosa, etc. During the processing, a certain amount of wastewater with high mercury content, high chromaticity, high suspended solids and high COD will also be generated.
[0004] The high-concentration organic wastewater generated from the processing of Tibetan medicine urgently needs to be solved.
[0005] Due to the high technical difficulty, high treatment cost and small market segment, there has been a lack of development and application of relevant technologies for the heavy metal-containing organic wastewater generated during the production process of Zowa for a long time. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] The utility model provides a device for treating mercury-containing organic wastewater in the process of processing Tibetan medicine, which adopts the processes of filtration, electrocatalytic pretreatment, heavy metal capture, targeted adsorption and solid-liquid separation to treat a large amount of wastewater with high mercury content, high chromaticity, high suspended solids and high COD generated during the processing of Tibetan medicine Zowa, effectively reducing the mercury concentration in the wastewater, and being successfully applied to engineering applications, realizing the development and application of such wastewater treatment technologies in the field of Tibetan medicine.
[0007] The specific scheme is as follows:
[0008] A device for treating mercury-containing organic wastewater in the process of processing Tibetan medicine includes a raw water tank, a microfiltration membrane treatment unit, an electrocatalytic pretreatment unit, a mercury capture and separation unit, and a high-precision filtration unit which are connected in sequence. The electrocatalytic pretreatment unit is also connected to a comprehensive waste gas purification unit.
[0009] The mercury capture and separation unit includes a sulfur-based compound reaction tank, a PAM reaction tank and a clarification tank which are connected in sequence; the sulfur-based compound reaction tank is connected to a sulfur-based compound dosing device; the PAM reaction tank is connected to a PAM dosing device.
[0010] The sulfur-based compound reaction tank and the PAM reaction tank are both equipped with stirrers to make the reaction complete.
[0011] The microfiltration membrane treatment unit uses a microporous membrane filter with a filtration accuracy of 10 μm, which can remove large particle impurities such as animal and plant residues in the wastewater;
[0012] The electrocatalytic pretreatment unit generates hydroxyl radicals through the electrode group to destroy the organic matter in the wastewater, reduce the COD content in the water, and oxidize mercury in the wastewater to Hg 2+ , for pretreatment of the mercury capture and separation unit; and the generated organic waste gas is purified by a comprehensive waste gas purification unit equipped at the back end. The comprehensive waste gas purification unit uses modified activated carbon for absorption treatment, so that the total mercury content in the waste gas is far lower than the Comprehensive Emission Standard for Air Pollutants (GB 16297--1996); the electrocatalytic pretreatment unit is prepared by depositing carbon-based modified inert materials (SiO2 and Al2O3) in the form of a thin film on the electrode substrate through hot wire chemical vapor deposition. It has the characteristics of high potential window, high oxygen evolution potential, high conductivity, high catalytic activity, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, high stability, and long service life, and has good treatment effects on wastewater with high mercury, high chroma, high suspended solids and high COD in the actual application process.
[0013] In the mercury capture and separation unit, a sulfur-based compound is added as a capturer through a sulfur-based compound dosing device, mainly one or more of sodium sulfide, sodium hydrosulfide, sodium sulfate, sodium metabisulfite, sodium thiosulfate, and sodium sulfite are mixed in proportion, and a capture reaction is carried out in the sulfur-based compound reaction pool. Various sulfur ion forms in the sulfur-based compound combine with mercury in the wastewater to form sulfur and mercury compounds; then PAM flocculant is added through the PAM dosing device to carry out a flocculation reaction in the PAM reaction pool, so as to achieve targeted adsorption of mercury in the wastewater, and finally solid-liquid separation is achieved in the clarifier.
[0014] The high-precision filtration unit uses a high-precision microporous membrane filter with a filtration accuracy of 5 μm to remove mercury-containing sludge with a particle size of more than 5 μm generated by the mercury capture and separation unit, and remove mercury and its compounds in the water.
[0015] Through the present utility model, a large amount of wastewater with high mercury, high chroma, high suspended solids and high COD generated during the processing of Tibetan medicine Zuotai can be treated, which can greatly reduce the organic matter content of the water sample, reduce the water quality chroma, remove suspended solids in the water and reduce the mercury concentration in the water. The adsorption effect on mercury in the wastewater can reach 99.9%, effectively reducing the toxicity of the wastewater, and finding a practical method for treating mercury-containing sewage in the Tibetan medicine industry. This method has broad application value for the Tibetan medicine industry with a huge annual wastewater generation. Brief Description of the Drawings
