[0002] In the process of water treatment, water contains calcium and magnesium scale-forming ions. The hardness of water is measured by "hardness". High-hardness water will cause scale formation on equipment and pipelines. With the gradual accumulation of scale, it will also cause pipeline blockage, reduced flow rate, and decreased heating efficiency of equipment. Especially in the reverse osmosis, evaporation crystallization devices, etc. in the zero liquid discharge process of wastewater, there are strict requirements for the hardness of the influent water. Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ions constitute the hardness of water. Once these ions enter the concentration reduction or evaporation crystallization equipment, they will form scale adhering to the membrane or the wall of the column, reducing the water production efficiency of the membrane and evaporation, and even blocking the membrane pores, pipelines or devices, affecting the operation of the equipment.

[0003] Therefore, in industry, special equipment is needed to reduce the hardness of water. These equipment usually reduce the content of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ions through physical and chemical reactions. However, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ions are very easy to form poorly soluble substances, and a large amount of solid-liquid mixtures often appear in the reaction process, hindering the progress of the reaction and affecting the effect of hardness reduction. The existing reaction devices for removing water hardness often have problems such as frequent blockage or decreased effect after a period of use. Content of the Utility Model

[0026] The outlet of the production water tank 4 is connected to the suction inlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump 5. A gas suction nozzle is installed at the suction inlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump 5. A gas flow meter is installed at the front end of the gas suction nozzle.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Based on Example 1, the specific device operation method is introduced as follows:

[0030] The water quality indexes of the whole-plant comprehensive wastewater of a certain iron and steel enterprise are shown in Table 1. It can be seen that the hardness of the wastewater is as high as 800 mg / l, which is high-hardness wastewater.

[0031] Table 1 Wastewater quality index table

[0032] Serial number Item Unit Index Remarks 1 pH 6~9 2 SS mg / l 300 3 <![CDATA[COD cr > mg / l 60~150 4 <![CDATA[BOD5]]> mg / l 10~30 5 Oil mg / l ≤20 6 Total hardness mg / l 800 <![CDATA[Calculated as CaCO3]]> 7 Temporary hardness mg / l 60 <![CDATA[Calculated as CaCO3]]> 8 Total alkalinity mg / l 250 <![CDATA[Calculated as CaCO3]]> 9 Salt content mg / l 2000 10 <![CDATA[Cl - > mg / l 450

[0033] The device in Example 1 is used for wastewater treatment, including the following steps:

[0034] 1) The above-mentioned high-hardness wastewater is discharged into the reaction device, and calcium hydroxide is added to control the pH at about 10.0. At the same time, 25 mg / L of PAC (polyaluminum chloride) and 1.0 mg / L of PAM (polyacrylamide) are added. After stirring, a mixture liquid of CaCO3, Mg(OH)2, CaCl2 and water is generated by reaction.

[0035] The main reaction formulas are as follows:

[0036]

[0037] 2) The mixture liquid is sent into the reaction and separation integrated device. After the mixture liquid and the material from the water distribution pipeline system are mixed in the reaction cylinder to complete the reaction, the floating slag is removed through the floating slag hopper, and the separated liquid phase enters the production water tank.

[0038] 3) A part of the wastewater in the water production pool (flow rate is Q) meets the standard and is discharged or enters the next process, and the other part (flow rate 0.5Q) enters the gas-liquid mixing pump. A gas suction nozzle is installed at the suction port of the gas-liquid mixing pump, and a gas flow meter is installed in front of the gas suction nozzle to adjust and control the suction volume. The end of the gas suction nozzle is connected to the flue gas of the steel plant. The gas suction nozzle introduces the CO2-rich flue gas of the steel plant into the vicinity of the impeller of the pump, and with the help of the impeller, the gas is introduced into the blades of the pump for pressurized mixing, which can ensure that the CO2-rich flue gas of the steel plant and the wastewater (flow rate 0.5Q) at the inlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump are efficiently mixed and dissolved. At the same time, the high temperature of the flue gas (about 200℃) increases the temperature of the wastewater. Through this series of processes, the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump obtains dissolved gas (CO2) water with a water temperature of about 55℃ and a pressure of about 0.4MPa.

[0039] 4) The undissolved part of the gas injected into the gas-liquid mixing pump will form a gas pocket before the pressure is released, affecting the gas dissolving effect. Therefore, it is necessary to install a gas-liquid separation tank in the outlet pipeline of the gas-liquid mixing pump, and an automatic exhaust valve needs to be installed on the gas-liquid separation tank to discharge the undissolved part of the gas to avoid the formation of a gas pocket and affect the gas dissolving effect.

[0040] The dissolved gas (CO2) water in step 3) has a water temperature of about 55°C, and reacts with step 1) to form CaCO 3、 Mg(OH) 2、 The mixed liquid of CaCl2 and water enters the reaction and separation integrated device in step 2) together.

[0041] The bottom of the reaction and separation integrated device is a water distribution pipeline system, which reacts the dissolved gas (CO2) water with a water temperature of about 55°C in step 3) with step 1) to generate CaCO 3、 Mg(OH) 2、 The mixed liquid of CaCl2 and water is fully mixed and evenly distributed. The water distribution pipeline system needs to be designed according to the shape of the reaction cylinder. In this example, the reaction and separation integrated device adopts a cylindrical shape. The water distribution pipeline system adopts a vertical pipe directly installed at the conical bottom of the cylindrical reaction cylinder. The vertical pipe should be as short as possible, the pipe diameter should be larger than the diameter of the drainage pipe, and the vertical pipe mouth should face upward.

[0042] In the reaction tube of the reaction-separation integrated device, the dissolved gas (CO2) water with a water temperature of about 55°C in step 3) reacts with step 1) to generate a mixed liquid of CaCO3, Mg(OH)2, CaCl2 and water, which is fully mixed and evenly distributed through the water distribution pipeline system. The dissolved gas (CO2) water with a pressure of about 0.4MPa is released from the water distribution pipeline system and the pressure drops to a normal level. The CO2 gas dissolved in this process will be released in the form of many tiny bubbles (bubble diameter is about 20-30 microns). The CO2 bubbles have a small particle size, which greatly increases the contact reaction area and improves the reaction efficiency. The following reactions will occur efficiently in the reaction tube:

[0043]

[0044]

[0045] In addition, the introduction of 55°C dissolved air (CO2) water can increase the water temperature in the reaction tube to about 40°C. The increase in water temperature also greatly increases the reaction efficiency and reduces the hardness of the final water output.

[0046] Due to the weak acidity of carbonic acid, + 、CO3 2- When it is continuously consumed, the carbon dioxide dissolved in water can continue to produce CO3 2- , achieving almost the same effect as Na2CO3 softening.

[0047] In addition to the above chemical reactions taking place in the reaction tube, the CaCO generated in step 1) 3、 Mg(OH)2, and fine sediments such as CaCO3 produced in the reaction tube in this step adhere to the surface of tiny bubbles (bubble diameter is about 20-30 microns). These fine sediments will float to the water surface with the tiny bubbles to form scum. The scum is discharged through the scum bucket in the reaction and separation integrated device and finally sent to the sludge dewatering device.

[0048] In summary, in the reaction and separation integrated device, efficient reaction is achieved, and solid (CaCO3, Mg(OH)2 precipitates and suspended solids in wastewater, etc.) and liquid separation are simultaneously achieved. After reaction and separation, the hardness of the wastewater can be stably reduced to less than 20 mg / L, and the inlet and outlet water quality indicators are shown in Table 2 below.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] This embodiment introduces a specific device operation method based on embodiment 1, as follows:

[0053] The device in Example 1 is used to treat wastewater. The wastewater comes from the comprehensive wastewater of a steel enterprise. The total hardness of the wastewater is 500 mg / l in terms of CaCO3, the pH of the wastewater is 7-9, the SS is 200 mg / l, the COD is 60 mg / l, the BOD is 10 mg / l, the total alkalinity is 100 mg / l in terms of CaCO3, the salt content is 1000 mg / l, and the Cl content is 100 mg / l. The process specifically includes the following steps:

[0054] 1) Drain the above-mentioned highly-hard wastewater into a reaction device, add calcium hydroxide to control the pH at 10.5, and simultaneously add 10 mg / L of PAC (polyaluminum chloride) and 0.5 mg / L of PAM (polyacrylamide). After stirring, a mixed liquid of CaCO3, Mg(OH)2, CaCl2 and water is generated through reaction.

[0055] 2) Feed the mixed liquid into a reaction and separation integrated device. After the mixed liquid and the material from the water distribution pipeline system complete the reaction in the reaction cylinder, the floating slag is removed through a floating slag hopper, and the separated liquid phase enters the production water tank.

[0056] 3) A part of the wastewater in the production water tank (flow rate is Q) meets the standards and is discharged externally or enters the next process. Another part (flow rate 0.15Q) enters the gas-liquid mixing pump. A gas suction nozzle is installed at the suction port of the gas-liquid mixing pump, and a gas flow meter is installed in front of the gas suction nozzle to adjust and control the gas intake. The end of the gas suction nozzle is connected to the steel plant flue gas. The gas suction nozzle introduces the steel plant flue gas rich in CO2 near the impeller of the pump, and the impeller is used to introduce the gas into the blades of the pump for pressurized mixing, which can ensure the efficient mixing and dissolution of the steel plant flue gas rich in CO2 and the wastewater (flow rate 0.15Q) at the inlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump. At the same time, the high temperature of the flue gas (about 200 °C) raises the temperature of the wastewater. Through this series of processes, dissolved gas (CO2) water with a water temperature of about 60 °C and a pressure of about 0.5 MPa is obtained at the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump.

[0057] 4) Among the gases injected into the gas-liquid mixing pump, the undissolved part will form gas pockets before the pressure is released, affecting the dissolved gas effect. Therefore, a gas-liquid separation tank needs to be installed in the outlet pipeline of the gas-liquid mixing pump, and an automatic exhaust valve needs to be installed on the gas-liquid separation tank to discharge the undissolved part of the gas to avoid the formation of gas pockets and affecting the dissolved gas effect.

[0058] The dissolved gas (CO2) water with a water temperature of about 60 °C in step 3), reacts with CaCO 3、 Mg(OH) 2、 The mixed liquid of CaCl2 and water enters the reaction and separation integrated device in step 2) together.

[0059] The bottom of the reaction and separation integrated device is a water distribution pipeline system, which mixes the dissolved gas (CO2) water in step 3) with CaCO 3、 Mg(OH) 2、The mixed solution of CaCl2 and water is fully mixed to achieve uniform water distribution. The water distribution pipeline system needs to be designed according to the shape of the reaction cylinder. In this example, the reaction and separation integrated device is rectangular, so horizontal straight pipes are arranged in the air dissolution chamber of the reaction cylinder. The length of the straight pipe is 5 cm, an elbow is installed at the end of the straight pipe, the diameter of the elbow is 10 cm, and the elbow opens upward relative to the air dissolution chamber of the reaction cylinder to directly discharge the air dissolved water and wastewater.

[0060] In the reaction cylinder of the reaction and separation integrated device, the air dissolved (CO2) water in step 3) is fully mixed with the mixed solution of CaCO3, Mg(OH)2, CaCl2 and water generated in step 1) through the water distribution pipeline system to achieve uniform water distribution. After the air dissolved (CO2) water is released from the water distribution pipeline system, the pressure drops to the normal level, and the previously dissolved CO2 gas will be released in the form of many tiny bubbles (bubble diameter about 20 - 30 microns). Due to the tiny particle size of the CO2 bubbles, the contact reaction area is greatly increased, improving the reaction efficiency.

[0061] In addition, the introduction of the air dissolved (CO2) water raises the water temperature in the reaction cylinder to about 45°C. The increase in water temperature also greatly increases the reaction efficiency and reduces the hardness of the final effluent.

[0062] Due to the weak acid property of carbonic acid, when H + 、CO3 2- are continuously consumed, the carbon dioxide dissolved in water can continuously generate CO3 2- , achieving almost the same effect as Na2CO3 softening.

[0063] In addition to the above chemical reactions occurring in the reaction cylinder, the fine precipitates such as CaCO 3、 Mg(OH)2 generated in step 1) and the CaCO3 produced in the reaction cylinder in this step adhere to the surface of the tiny bubbles (bubble diameter about 20 - 30 microns). These fine precipitates will float to the water surface with the tiny bubbles to form scum, and the scum is discharged through the scum hopper in the reaction and separation integrated device and finally sent to the sludge dewatering device.

[0064] In summary, in the reaction and separation integrated device, efficient reaction is achieved, and solid (CaCO3, Mg(OH)2 precipitates and suspended solids in the wastewater, etc.) - liquid separation is synchronously realized. After reaction and separation, the hardness of the wastewater can be stably reduced to less than 20 mg / L.

[0065] Example 4

[0066] Based on Example 1, this example introduces the specific device operation method as follows:

[0067] The device in Example 1 is used for wastewater treatment. The wastewater source is the comprehensive wastewater of an iron and steel enterprise. The total hardness of the wastewater is 900 mg / l in terms of CaCO3, the pH of the wastewater is 6 - 7, the SS is 600 mg / l, the COD is 150 mg / l, the BOD is 30 mg / l, the total alkalinity is 300 mg / l in terms of CaCO3, the salt content is 2000 mg / l, and the Cl content is 500 mg / l. The specific steps are as follows:

[0068] 1) The above high-hardness wastewater is discharged into the reaction device, and calcium hydroxide is added to control the pH at 9.0. At the same time, 30 mg / L of PAC (polyaluminum chloride) and 3.0 mg / L of PAM (polyacrylamide) are added. After stirring, a mixed liquid of CaCO3, Mg(OH)2, CaCl2 and water is generated by reaction.

[0069] 2) The mixed liquid is sent to the reaction and separation integrated device. After the mixed liquid and the material from the water distribution pipeline are mixed in the reaction cylinder to complete the reaction, the floating slag is removed through the floating slag hopper, and the separated liquid phase enters the production water tank.

[0070] 3) A part of the wastewater in the production water tank (flow rate is Q) meets the standards and is discharged or enters the next process. Another part (flow rate 0.4Q) enters the gas-liquid mixing pump. A gas suction nozzle is installed at the suction port of the gas-liquid mixing pump, and a gas flow meter is installed in front of the gas suction nozzle to adjust and control the gas suction volume. The end of the gas suction nozzle is connected to the steel plant flue gas. The gas suction nozzle introduces the steel plant flue gas rich in CO2 near the impeller of the pump, and the impeller is used to introduce the gas into the blades of the pump for pressurized mixing, which can ensure the efficient mixing and dissolution of the steel plant flue gas rich in CO2 and the wastewater at the inlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump (flow rate 0.5Q). At the same time, the high temperature of the flue gas (about 200 °C) raises the temperature of the wastewater. Through this series of processes, the dissolved gas (CO2) water with a water temperature of about 50 °C and a pressure of about 0.3 MPa is obtained at the outlet of the gas-liquid mixing pump.

[0071] 4) Among the gases injected into the gas-liquid mixing pump, the undissolved part will form gas pockets before the pressure is released, affecting the dissolved gas effect. Therefore, a gas-liquid separation tank needs to be installed in the outlet pipeline of the gas-liquid mixing pump, and an automatic exhaust valve needs to be installed on the gas-liquid separation tank to discharge the undissolved part of the gas to avoid the formation of gas pockets and affecting the dissolved gas effect.

[0072] The dissolved gas (CO2) water in step 3), and the mixed liquid of CaCO 3、 Mg(OH) 2、 CaCl2 and water generated in step 1) enter the reaction and separation integrated device in step 2) together.

[0073] The bottom of the integrated reaction and separation device is a water distribution pipeline system, which mixes the dissolved gas (CO2) water in step 3) with the mixture of CaCO 3、 Mg(OH) 2、 CaCl2 and water in the mixture solution in step 1) fully and evenly distributes the water. The water distribution pipeline system needs to be designed according to the shape of the reaction cylinder. In this example, the integrated reaction and separation device uses a reaction cylinder with a large area for discharging the dissolved gas water. The water distribution pipeline is an assembled pipe formed by splicing two straight pipes into an H shape. The assembled pipe is drilled with holes with a diameter of 10-15 mm every 20-30 cm to discharge the dissolved gas water and wastewater.

[0074] In the reaction cylinder of the integrated reaction and separation device, the dissolved gas (CO2) water in step 3) is fully mixed with the mixture of CaCO3, Mg(OH)2, CaCl2 and water generated in step 1) through the water distribution pipeline system to achieve uniform water distribution. After the dissolved gas (CO2) water is released from the water distribution pipeline system, the pressure drops to the normal level, and the previously dissolved CO2 gas will be released in the form of many tiny bubbles (bubble diameter about 20-30 microns). Due to the tiny particle size of the CO2 bubbles, the contact reaction area is greatly increased, and the reaction efficiency is improved.

[0075] In addition, the introduction of the dissolved gas (CO2) water raises the water temperature in the reaction cylinder to about 40°C. The increase in water temperature also greatly increases the reaction efficiency and reduces the hardness of the final effluent.

[0076] Due to the weak acid property of carbonic acid, in the case of continuous consumption of H + and CO3 2- dissolved carbon dioxide in water can continuously generate CO3 2- to achieve almost the same softening effect as Na2CO3.

[0077] In addition to the above chemical reactions occurring in the reaction cylinder, the fine precipitates such as CaCO 3、 Mg(OH)2 generated in step 1) and CaCO3 produced in the reaction cylinder in this step adhere to the surface of the tiny bubbles (bubble diameter about 20-30 microns). These fine precipitates will float to the water surface with the tiny bubbles to form scum, and the scum is discharged through the scum hopper in the integrated reaction and separation device and finally sent to the sludge dewatering device.

[0078] In summary, in the integrated reaction and separation device, efficient reaction is achieved, and solid (CaCO3, Mg(OH)2 precipitates and suspended solids in the wastewater, etc.)-liquid separation is synchronously realized. After reaction and separation, the hardness of the wastewater can be stably reduced to less than 20 mg / L.

Specifically, it includes a reaction cylinder arranged at the bottom of the reaction-separation integrated device and a scum hopper arranged at the top. A water distribution cylinder arranged above the reaction cylinder is sleeved and communicated with the reaction cylinder; the bottom of the reaction cylinder is communicated with a water inlet pipeline (a circular pipe with a diameter of 2 cm), and the water inlet pipeline is used to input different materials into the reaction cylinder. A material outlet is arranged at the top of the reaction-separation integrated device.
