Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waste disposal, and more specifically, it relates to a pH acidity and alkalinity preliminary screening and early warning system. Background Technique

[0002] During the incineration process of hazardous waste, a large amount of high-temperature acidic wastewater is generated in the primary tower and the secondary tower. We adjust the acidity and alkalinity of these wastewaters and then recycle them into the flue gas treatment system. When adjusting the circulating water in the primary tower, the parameter of the pH acidity and alkalinity value of these circulating waters is particularly important. After analysis, the circulating water has the following characteristics:

[0003] 1. High temperature.

[0004] 2. Acidic steam often accompanies the circulating water tank.

[0005] 3. Hydrogen fluoride is contained in the circulating water.

[0006] 4. The pH value will vary within a large span range with the working conditions. For example, the Min value is 0.1 and the Max value is 12.

[0007] Although the pH glass electrode we currently use has good detection accuracy, it often suffers from electrode corrosion and damage due to the influence of hydrogen fluoride. If an antimony electrode is used, although it can better tolerate hydrogen fluoride, in an acidic condition, especially when the pH is lower than 4, the surface of the electrode may be strongly corroded, which may lead to the dissolution of the electrode material or the formation of oxides, thus changing the working characteristics of the electrode and unable to accurately and truly reflect the pH value. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] As Figure 1 shown,

[0024] A pH primary screening and early warning system includes a circulation pool and a return pipe connected to the circulation pool. Above the circulation pool, there is a liquid caustic pump, which is electrically connected to a vision camera 6. The feedback of the 1-14 pH value presented by the pH test paper is used as the primary screening. If the visually feedback pH value is 1-4, the liquid caustic addition pump is directly started until the feedback value is higher than 4.

[0025] On one side of the circulation pool, there is a bottom plate 1. On the bottom plate 1, there is a sampling unit and an inspection unit. The sampling unit includes a sampling pipe 2 and a liquid dropper 3 connected to the sampling pipe 2. The sampling pipe 2 is connected to the return pipe. One end of the sampling pipe 2 is provided with an electromagnetic valve. The inspection unit is placed below the liquid dropper 3. The liquid dropper 3 is connected with a drip valve 4, and the drip valve 4 makes the sample drip at a lower frequency.

[0026] The inspection unit includes a pH test paper roll 5, a rotating member connected to the pH test paper roll 5, and a vision camera 6 placed on one side of the pH test paper roll 5. Below the vision camera 6, there is a base 10. On the base 10, there is a column connected to the vision camera 6. The camera of the vision camera 6 is aligned with the pH test paper. The dripping sample falls on the pH test paper, and the pH test paper undergoes an acid-base reaction and the color changes. The vision camera 6 collects the corresponding color for data analysis, and compares the color signal through the deep learning model of the Inception-ResNet v2 version, and converts the visual signal into an accurate pH value number for output.

[0027] The vision camera 6 is placed directly above the pH test paper roll 5. The pH test paper roll 5 is sleeved on the rotating member. The rotating member includes two brackets 7. An inspection space is formed between the two brackets 7. The pH test paper is laid flat in the inspection space to facilitate catching the sample dripping from the liquid dropper 3.

[0028] One end of the rotating member is provided with a driving motor, which is placed on one of the brackets 7. There are two discs 8 on the bracket 7, and a number of ventilation holes are provided on the discs 8. A rotating roller 9 is rotatably connected between the two discs 8. The driving motor is placed on the disc 8, and the rotating roller 9 is connected to the output end of the driving motor. One end of the bracket 7 is connected to the bottom plate 1. The driving motor drives the rotating roller 9 to rotate, winds up the used pH test paper, and moves the unused pH test paper under the liquid dropper 3 for the next round of detection.

[0029] Working principle: Connect the sampling tube 2 to the circulation pool, put the pH test paper roll 5 on the rotating roller 9, install the vision camera 6 in a suitable position, and then extract the sample in the circulation pool through the solenoid valve. The drip valve 4 controls the sample to drip at a lower frequency. The dripped sample falls on the pH test paper, and the pH test paper undergoes an acid-base reaction and the color changes. The vision camera 6 collects the corresponding color for data analysis. The color signal is compared through the deep learning model of the Inception-ResNet v2 version, and the vision signal is converted into an accurate pH value number for output. According to the output value, the liquid caustic pump puts the corresponding reagent into the circulation pool to adjust the acidity and alkalinity in the circulation pool.

[0030] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
