[0037] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification. Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1-4 As shown; a ceramic membrane assembly (2), the ceramic membrane assembly (2) comprises a central water outlet pipe, and a sleeve sleeved outside the central water outlet pipe, the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve is provided with 6 grooves, the grooves are used to insert ceramic membrane fins, and the grooves are evenly arranged.

[0039] The central water outlet pipe is connected to several return water branches, one end of which is connected to the ceramic membrane fins and the other end is connected to the central water outlet pipe. The return water branches are used to transport water purified by the ceramic membrane fins to the clean water tank. The central water outlet pipe is connected to the return water branches by setting a multi-way water pipe.

[0040] There are six ceramic membrane fins.

[0041] The ceramic membrane fin is inserted and positioned along the groove of the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve outside the central water outlet pipe.

[0042] The ceramic membrane fin is provided with two layers. Example 2

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown:

[0044] A hexagonal lantern ceramic membrane bioreactor comprises a ceramic membrane tank 1, a ceramic membrane assembly 2, an aeration plate 3, a membrane assembly slot 4, a water outlet 5, a water inlet 6, a drain 7, and an air inlet pipe 8; the ceramic membrane assembly 2 is installed inside the ceramic membrane tank 1, an aeration plate 3 is also installed at the bottom of the ceramic membrane tank 1, the ceramic membrane assembly 2 is installed above the aeration plate 3, a membrane assembly slot 4 is provided on the side wall of the ceramic membrane tank 1, the ceramic membrane is installed on the water outlet 5, the water inlet 6 is arranged on the upper side of the ceramic membrane tank 1, the drain 7 is arranged on the bottom side of the ceramic membrane tank 1, and the air inlet pipe 8 is connected to the aeration plate 3.

[0045] The ceramic membrane tank 1 is used to hold the sewage entering the bioreactor, the ceramic membrane assembly 2 is used to filter the sewage, and the aeration plate 3 is used for timed aeration to provide sufficient oxygen for the activated sludge in the reactor. The membrane assembly slot 4 is used to install and fix the ceramic membrane assembly 2. The water outlet 5 is used to discharge the sewage after filtration inside the ceramic membrane tank 1. The sewage to be treated enters the ceramic membrane tank 1 through the water inlet 6. After the reactor stops running, the drain outlet 7 discharges the remaining sewage inside, and the outside air enters the aeration plate 3 through the air inlet pipe 8 to provide sufficient oxygen for the activated sludge inside the ceramic membrane tank 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, it is worth noting that the ceramic membrane assembly 2 is provided with two layers, the first layer is provided with six ceramic membranes 201-206, and the second layer has six ceramic membranes 207-212 installed below the first layer of ceramic membranes. The size of each ceramic membrane is exactly the same, and the water outlet of each ceramic membrane is collected into the central water outlet pipe through the return pipe and the multi-channel and then enters the water outlet 5. The ceramic membrane fins in the ceramic membrane assembly 2 are inserted into the grooves on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve outside the central water outlet pipe. The 6 ceramic membrane fins are placed symmetrically, and the ceramic membranes are 60° apart. The edge vertices of each layer of ceramic membrane fins are connected to form a regular hexagon.

[0047] Under the action of the water inlet pump, the sewage flows into the ceramic membrane tank 1 from the water inlet 6. The inflowing sewage fully contacts with the activated sludge in the ceramic membrane tank 3, so that the tiny suspended, colloidal and dissolved organic pollutants in the sewage are condensed, adsorbed and metabolized by the activated sludge microorganisms, and are removed in large quantities. At the same time, some phosphorus and nitrogen in the sewage can also be removed. Then the sewage passes through the ceramic membrane 2 to further intercept the substances that are not treated by the activated sludge and is discharged from the outlet under the action of the outlet pump.

[0048] Due to the circular shape of the ceramic membrane tank and the built-in hexagonal lantern-shaped ceramic membrane assembly, the aeration plate 3 can evenly distribute the gas in the ceramic membrane tank cavity during aeration, thereby fully and evenly mixing the activated sludge with oxygen.

[0049] The aeration plate 3 uses a blower to regularly aerate the ceramic membrane tank 1, thereby adding sufficient oxygen to the activated sludge in the reactor.

[0050] The various ceramic membrane fins of the ceramic membrane assembly 2 in the reactor are collected into the central water outlet pipe through the return pipe and the multi-pass pipe. Example 3

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0052] This embodiment provides a hexagonal lantern ceramic membrane bioreactor system, including a raw water tank 9, a reactor, a water inlet pipe 10, a water inlet pump 11, a blower 12, an air inlet pipe 13, a water outlet pump 14, a water outlet pipe 15, a clean water tank 16, a connecting pipe 17, a water inlet valve 18, a water outlet valve 19, and an air inlet valve 20; the raw water tank 9 is connected to the water inlet pump 11, the water inlet valve 18, and the reactor water inlet in sequence through the water inlet pipe 10, the reactor water outlet is connected to the water outlet pump 14, the water outlet valve 19, and the clean water tank 16 in sequence through the water outlet pipe 15, and the connecting pipe 17 on the aeration plate at the bottom of the reactor is connected to the air inlet valve 20 and the blower 12 in sequence through the air inlet pipe 13.

[0053] In this embodiment, the reactor adopts the hexagonal lantern ceramic membrane bioreactor provided in Example 2, and the blower is used to perform timed aeration on the aeration disk in the reactor to provide a suitable dissolved oxygen concentration for the activated sludge in the ceramic membrane tank, so that it can complete nitrification and denitrification and purify ammonia nitrogen in the water.

[0054] Specific working process:

[0055] The liquid to be treated is collected in the raw water tank 9. Driven by the inlet pump 11, the treated wastewater flows from the raw water tank 9 into the ceramic membrane tank 1. Organic pollutants in the wastewater are absorbed, metabolized, and utilized as nutrients by the activated sludge microorganisms. When the wastewater comes into contact with the activated sludge, the microorganisms aggregate and adsorb the finely suspended, colloidal, and dissolved organic pollutants, resulting in significant removal. This also removes some phosphorus and nitrogen from the wastewater. Organic matter adsorbed on the surface of the activated sludge is metabolized and anabolicized by the microorganisms. The water then passes through the ceramic membranes 201-212, intercepting suspended matter that the activated sludge cannot process, further improving water quality. The water then flows from the outlet 5 through the outlet pipe 15 via the outlet pump 14 into the clean water tank 16. The treated water can be used as household water and delivered to various water appliances for daily use. The function of the aeration plate 3 is to provide a suitable dissolved oxygen concentration for the activated sludge in the ceramic membrane tank 1 by performing aeration at a fixed time through the blower 12, so that the activated sludge can complete nitrification and denitrification and purify ammonia nitrogen in the water.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any other form. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
