Description

Technical Field

[0002] Emerging pollutants, as a type of pollutants that have gradually attracted the attention of the public and environmental protection agencies in recent years, have been proven to exist in human health and the ecological environment. Strengthening the monitoring, assessment, and management of emerging pollutants has become an important issue in global environmental protection. To address the challenges of emerging pollutants, governments and international organizations around the world are strengthening cooperation, formulating relevant environmental standards and regulations, and promoting environmental management and technological innovation.

[0003] As an eco-friendly water treatment technology, constructed wetlands are widely used in the engineering practice of water pollution treatment.

As an important "sink" for emerging pollutants, the introduction of new pollutants will pose challenges to the operation of constructed wetlands. For example, the introduction of microplastics will make constructed wetlands more prone to clogging and reduce the removal effect of constructed wetlands on traditional pollutants. Under this premise, optimizing and adjusting the process operation parameters to mitigate the impact of new pollution and improve the removal effect of constructed wetlands on new pollution is a relatively convenient means to improve the wetland process.

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Refer to the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 5 As shown in the figures, the present invention provides an adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system for removing emerging pollutants, which includes a wastewater storage tank 17, a water pump 18, an adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system, and an aerator 19. A supporting ring 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system. A supporting tray 13 is placed on the top of the supporting ring 14. The supporting tray 13 is evenly provided with through holes. When the system is in use, the supporting tray 13 is used to support the packing. The supporting tray 13 divides the inner cavity of the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system into a packing area and a water distribution area from top to bottom. The packing area and the water distribution area are communicated through the through holes.

[0022] An aeration disc 12 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the water distribution area. An intake valve 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the aeration disc 12. The other end of the intake valve 10 is located outside the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system. The other end of the intake valve 10 is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the aerator 19 through an air pipe. When the aerator 19 works, gas can be blown into the aeration disc 12. The gas in the aeration disc 12 is evenly sprayed into the inner cavity of the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system, increasing the dissolved oxygen content in the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system and improving the blockage of the device. A bottom valve 11 is fixed on one side of the bottom of the inner cavity of the water distribution area. The other ends of the bottom valve 11 all extend to the outside of the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system. The bottom valve 11 can be used for water inlet and outlet. During the water inlet process, the through holes arranged on the supporting tray 13 can make the water evenly distributed, so that the system can meet the requirement of uniform water inlet.

[0023] The setting of the water distribution area can prevent the short-circuit phenomenon. Preferably, the thickness of the water distribution area is 4-8 cm.

[0024] Side valves 5 are evenly arranged on one side of the inner cavity of the packing area. In some embodiments of the present application, the side valves 5 are connected to the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system by means of threaded connection, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the side valves 5. When the system is in use, the side valves 5 can be used for sampling, which is convenient for users to measure the sewage indexes at different positions and to grasp the use effect of the system in real time. The side valves 5 can also be used as water inlets, so that the system can realize the water inlet mode with water flowing in from different directions and meet the actual requirements.

[0025] On the other side of the inner cavity of the packing area, a packing sampling port 6 is evenly provided. The packing sampling port 6 is sealed by a plug. Through the setting of the packing sampling port 6, it is convenient for users to collect the packing in the constructed wetland and improve the convenience of packing sampling and detection. Preferably, the diameter of the packing sampling port 6 is 4 cm.

[0026] The packing area is filled with packing, which can adsorb sewage, and microorganisms are inoculated among the packing. The microorganisms can degrade sewage. The types of microorganisms and the types of packing are selected according to requirements and are not limited here. Plants are planted on the upper layer of the packing area. The microorganisms are attached to the plant roots, and the plants can adsorb pollutants. When the system is in use, the packing, microorganisms, and plants work together to remove pollutants, improving the pollutant removal effect.

[0027] The packing area is filled with packing of different particle sizes and different materials. The filling method and thickness of each layer of packing can be adjusted independently, or different packings can be mixed. For example, 4-10 mm gravel is placed in the first layer of packing to support the adsorption packing, iron-carbon mixed packing is placed in the second layer of packing to enhance pollutant removal, and zeolite is placed in the third layer of packing to adsorb pollutants and fix aquatic plants. Plants can be planted in the possible packing. For example, iris is planted in the third layer of packing. It is an emergent plant with stems and leaves above the water surface and roots deep into the packing. The life activities of the plant itself and the microorganisms attached to the roots are beneficial to pollutant removal. Preferably, the thickness of the packing layer is 5-15 cm according to the actual situation, and the number of layers is 1-3.

[0028] A water seal groove 7 is fixedly connected to the outer ring at the top of the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system.

Through the setting of the air collection structure, when the air extraction pump 15 works, the gas in the main body 1 can be pumped into the air outlet pipe 9, which is convenient for users to collect the gas generated in the device.

[0030] A full-spectrum lamp 3 is snap-connected to the bottom of the gas collection structure. The full-spectrum lamp 3 is externally connected to a light intensity adjustment and timing switch controller. In the case of insufficient natural light, light supplementation is carried out through the light of the full-spectrum lamp 3 to ensure the normal growth of plants and the stable operation of the system. The timing switch device can be used as an option to simulate the natural light irradiation duration for light supplementation. The advantage is that in the case of insufficient light, the space for supplementary lighting of the structure is saved.

[0031] The adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system is made of a transparent material, which can be acrylic. An opaque wrapping tape, such as a black tape, is wound around the outer surface of the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system to play a role in shading, avoiding the generation of algae and causing system blockage. And a vertical observation slit 16 is reserved on the wrapping tape to facilitate the observation of the sewage treatment situation.

[0032] The adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system is of a split structure. The adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system includes a main body 1 and a bottom plate 2.

The material of the sealing gasket 4 can be silica gel. Through the setting of the sealing gasket, the sealing performance between the main body 1 and the bottom plate 2 is increased, avoiding water leakage.

[0033] An aeration disc 12 and a bottom valve 11 are connected to the bottom plate 2, a water seal groove 7, a packing sampling port 6 and a supporting ring 14 are connected to the main body 1, and the water seal groove 7, the packing sampling port 6 and the supporting ring 14 form an integral structure with the main body 1; the bottom plate 2, the aeration disc 12 and the bottom valve 11 form an integral structure.

[0034] The wastewater storage tank 17 stores wastewater containing new pollutants. The inlet end of a water pump 18 is fixedly connected with a water inlet pipe, and the other end of the water inlet pipe extends to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the wastewater storage tank 17. The outlet end of the water pump 18 is fixedly connected with a water outlet pipe, and the other end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system. When the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system intakes water through the bottom valve 11, the other end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the bottom valve 11. At this time, the other end of a side valve 5 is connected with a drain pipe 20. When the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system intakes water through the side valve 5, the other end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the side valve 5, and at this time, the adjustable subsurface flow constructed wetland system discharges water through the bottom valve 11 or other side valves 5.
