[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a wastewater treatment system, including a regulating tank 101, a primary reaction unit, a secondary reaction unit, a tertiary reaction unit and a filtering unit connected in sequence; wherein,
[0034] Adjusting groove 101, which is used to mix the evaporation crystallization mother liquor produced by the zero liquid discharge system for wastewater with waste acid to obtain a mixed liquid;
[0035] The first-stage reaction unit is used to add lime milk to the mixed liquid for neutralization reaction, and then perform solid-liquid separation to obtain the first supernatant;

[0037] The third-stage reaction unit is used to remove hardness from the second supernatant, and then perform solid-liquid separation to obtain the third supernatant;
[0038] The filtration unit is used to filter the third supernatant and send it to the front end of the zero liquid discharge system for wastewater for re-treatment.
[0039] By treating the evaporation crystallization mother liquor and waste acid by adopting technologies such as neutralization reaction, ultra-high lime-aluminum method, hardness removal, and filtration, components such as COD, sulfate radical, and chloride ions in them can be effectively removed, and the final clear liquid can be refluxed to the front end of the zero liquid discharge system for wastewater for re-treatment. Moreover, the main pollutants in the evaporation crystallization mother liquor are removed in the form of sludge, and the sintering unit of the steel plant can be used to dispose of the sludge, reducing the generation amount of miscellaneous salts, realizing treating waste with waste, and greatly reducing the disposal cost. Since sludge will be generated during the treatment process of waste acid itself, the introduction of the evaporation crystallization mother liquor only increases the sludge production by a certain amount, so the entire treatment process is relatively friendly to the environment and does not generate other additional pollutants.
[0040] In this embodiment, the waste acid is, for example, waste hydrochloric acid or waste sulfuric acid produced by a steel plant.
[0041] Furthermore, the first-stage reaction unit includes a first-stage reaction tank 201, a first-stage sedimentation tank 202, and a first chemical dosing device 203.

In this embodiment, after the evaporation crystallization mother liquor produced by the zero liquid discharge system for wastewater is mixed with the waste acid, it can be sent into the first-stage reaction tank 201 through a pressure pump, and then lime milk is added into the first-stage reaction tank 201 through the first chemical dosing device 203. The lime milk reacts with the mixed liquid for neutralization reaction. During the neutralization reaction, a large amount of sulfate radical can be precipitated, and at the same time, under the clarification effect of lime, part of the COD in the mixed liquid can be precipitated synchronously. After solid-liquid separation by the first-stage sedimentation tank 202, the first supernatant is obtained.
[0042] Preferably, the pH of the neutralization reaction is between 8 and 9, and this pH can be adjusted by controlling the dosage of lime milk to optimize the effect of the neutralization reaction.
[0043] Furthermore, the secondary reaction unit includes a secondary reaction tank 301, a secondary sedimentation tank 302, and a second chemical dosing device 303. The water inlet end of the secondary reaction tank 301 serves as the water inlet end of the secondary reaction unit. The water outlet end of the secondary reaction tank 301 is connected to the water inlet end of the secondary sedimentation tank 302, and the water outlet end of the secondary sedimentation tank 302 serves as the water outlet end of the secondary reaction unit. The second chemical dosing device 303 is used to add lime milk and sodium aluminate into the secondary reaction tank 301. In this embodiment, the water inlet end of the secondary reaction tank 301 is connected to the water outlet end of the primary sedimentation tank 202 to receive the first supernatant after solid-liquid separation in the primary sedimentation tank 202. Then, lime milk and sodium aluminate are added into the secondary reaction tank 301 through the second chemical dosing device 303 to remove chloride ions in the first supernatant by the ultra-high lime-aluminum method. The ultra-high lime-aluminum method is an effective method for removing chloride ions. By adding lime milk and sodium aluminate into the chloride-ion-containing solution, calcium-aluminum chloride compounds (a kind of Friedel's salt) with extremely low solubility are generated to achieve the effect of removing chloride ions. After solid-liquid separation in the secondary sedimentation tank 302, a second supernatant is obtained.
[0044] Preferably, the pH in the secondary reaction tank 301 is between 12 and 13, and this pH can be adjusted by controlling the dosage of lime milk.
[0045] Furthermore, the tertiary reaction unit includes a tertiary reaction tank 401, a tertiary sedimentation tank 402, and a third chemical dosing device 403. The water inlet end of the tertiary reaction tank 401 serves as the water inlet end of the tertiary reaction unit. The water outlet end of the tertiary reaction tank 401 is connected to the water inlet end of the tertiary sedimentation tank 402, and the water outlet end of the tertiary sedimentation tank 402 serves as the water outlet end of the tertiary reaction unit. The third chemical dosing device is used to add sodium carbonate into the tertiary reaction tank 401. In this embodiment, the water inlet end of the tertiary reaction tank 401 is connected to the water outlet end of the secondary sedimentation tank 302 to receive the second supernatant. Then, sodium carbonate is added into the tertiary reaction tank 401 through the third chemical dosing device 403 to generate calcium carbonate precipitate, which is subjected to solid-liquid separation in the tertiary sedimentation tank 402.
[0046] Further, the filtration unit includes an intermediate water tank 501, an activated carbon filter 502, and a clean water tank 503. The water inlet end of the intermediate water tank 501 serves as the water inlet end of the filtration unit. The water outlet end of the intermediate water tank 501 is connected to the water inlet end of the activated carbon filter 502. The water outlet end of the activated carbon filter 502 is connected to the water inlet end of the clean water tank 503. The water outlet end of the clean water tank 503 is connected to the front end of the zero liquid discharge system. In this embodiment, the water inlet end of the intermediate water tank 501 is connected to the water outlet end of the tertiary reaction tank 401 to receive the third supernatant. The third supernatant is sent into the activated carbon filter 502 by a lift pump to further reduce the COD therein, and then enters the clean water tank 503. At this time, most of the pollutants such as sulfate ions, chloride ions, and COD in the waste liquid are removed, meeting the conditions for the front-end pretreatment of the zero liquid discharge system. Finally, it is sent back to the front-end pretreatment device of the zero liquid discharge system by a lift pump for further treatment.
[0047] During the treatment process, the sludge generated by reaction precipitation is dehydrated and can be consumed by the sintering unit in the steel plant. Since sludge will be generated during the treatment process of the waste acid itself, the introduction of the evaporation crystallization mother liquor only increases the sludge production by a certain amount. Therefore, the entire treatment process is relatively friendly to the environment and does not produce other additional pollutants.
[0048] Based on the same inventive concept, please refer to Figure 2 , this embodiment of the utility model further provides a wastewater treatment method, including the following steps:
[0049] S1. Mix the evaporation crystallization mother liquor produced by the zero liquid discharge system with the waste acid to obtain a mixed liquid;
[0050] S2. Add lime milk to the mixed liquid for neutralization reaction, and then perform solid-liquid separation to obtain a first supernatant;
[0051] S3. Use the ultra-high lime-aluminum method to remove chloride ions in the first supernatant, and then perform solid-liquid separation to obtain a second supernatant;
[0052] S4. Perform hardness removal treatment on the second supernatant, and then perform solid-liquid separation to obtain a third supernatant;
[0053] S5. Filter the third supernatant and send it to the front end of the zero liquid discharge system for further treatment.
[0054] Preferably, the waste acid is waste hydrochloric acid or waste sulfuric acid produced by the factory.
[0055] Preferably, the adjustment and control involved in the entire wastewater treatment process can be automatically controlled and completed by PLC or DCS.
[0056] In summary, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a wastewater treatment system. By adopting technologies such as neutralization reaction, ultra-high lime-aluminum method, hardness removal, and filtration to treat the evaporation crystallization mother liquor and waste acid, it can effectively remove components such as COD, sulfate radical, and chloride ion therein. The final clear liquid can be refluxed to the front end of the zero wastewater discharge system for re-treatment. Moreover, the main pollutants in the evaporation crystallization mother liquor are removed in the form of sludge, and the sintering unit of the steel plant can be used to dispose of the sludge, reducing the generation amount of miscellaneous salts, achieving waste treatment with waste, and greatly reducing the disposal cost. Since sludge will be generated during the treatment process of waste acid itself, the introduction of the evaporation crystallization mother liquor only increases the sludge production to a certain extent. Therefore, the entire treatment process is relatively environmentally friendly and does not produce other additional pollutants.
