Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of multi-section Fenton towers, in particular to a multi-section Fenton tower for pre-treating high-concentration wastewater. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the discharge of industrial wastewater has increased dramatically with the rapid growth of industrial development. The high concentrations of pollutants in these wastewaters, such as COD, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, heavy metals, and the high salinity in some wastewaters, have posed a great threat to the environment and pose potential risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
[0003] Traditional biochemical treatment methods are inadequate for treating high-concentration industrial wastewater, with limited effectiveness. Therefore, advanced oxidation technologies, particularly Fenton oxidation, have garnered widespread attention as effective wastewater treatment technologies. Fenton oxidation generates highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals, which degrade organic pollutants in wastewater, achieving water purification. However, in practical applications, Fenton oxidation also faces numerous challenges. Fenton oxidation requires large amounts of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ions as reagents, but reagent utilization is often low, leading to increased treatment costs. In high-concentration wastewater, pollutants are numerous and concentrated, resulting in low hydraulic exchange efficiency, which affects the reaction rate and effectiveness of Fenton oxidation. Due to the high pollutant content in wastewater and the difficulty of some pollutants to be completely degraded by hydroxyl radicals, treatment times are long, making it difficult to meet the demand for rapid treatment. To overcome these shortcomings, a multi-stage Fenton tower was proposed for the pretreatment of high-concentration wastewater. Utility Model Content

One end of each second dosing pipe 20 is connected to a second drug dispensing pipe 21, which is fixedly connected to the support block 17.
[0020] During use: after the production wastewater enters the water reservoir 7, the pH value of the wastewater is measured by the pH meter 8 arranged inside the water reservoir 7, and the pH value of the wastewater is controlled to 3-3.5 by adding acid or alkali. The wastewater after adjusting the pH is pumped into the interior of the first tower body 1 through the water inlet pump 9 along the first water inlet pipe 10. The bottom of the first tower body 1 is connected to the connecting pipe. After the water enters the interior of the first tower body 1, it passes through the filter plate 18 arranged at the bottom of the first tower body 1. The filter plate 18 is circular with an opening on the outer edge and a hole inside the filter plate 18. The size and size of the hole are determined according to the amount of water inflow. Generally, two rows of holes are opened, and the center of the filter plate 18 is not opened. Since the hole of the filter plate 18 is small, the flow rate through the hole is accelerated after the water enters, and the empty tower flow rate is increased, which can effectively improve the water inflow. High hydraulic exchange ensures full contact between pollutants and the hydroxyl radicals generated by the Fenton column, improving removal efficiency and shortening residence time. A second drug distribution tube 21 and a first drug distribution tube 16 are arranged above and below the filter plate 18, respectively. The first and second drug distribution tubes 16 and 21 are connected to the filter plate 18 via support blocks 17. The first and second drug distribution tubes 16 and 21 are annular, their dimensions determined by the filter plate openings. The centerlines of the first and second drug distribution tubes 16 and 21 align with the centerlines of the two rows of openings in the filter plate 18, facilitating contact between the drug and the incoming water. Compared to traditional drug distribution methods, this design facilitates more rapid and thorough mixing of the drug. When wastewater enters the Fenton column from the bottom, it flows smoothly, with a low flow rate and relatively uniform pressure distribution. When the filter plate openings are opened, the flow area decreases. According to Bernoulli's principle, the water velocity increases due to the confinement of the narrow area. This is because the law of conservation of flow (the embodiment of the law of conservation of mass in fluids) requires that the volume of fluid passing through the narrow area per unit time remain constant, so the flow rate must increase. The increase in flow rate leads to a decrease in pressure, forming a pressure difference. This pressure difference forms a low-pressure area below the filter plate 18, which acts like a "suction" to suck the ferrous agent into the water flow. This is because the ferrous agent is subjected to a greater pressure in the higher-pressure area, and a smaller pressure in the lower-pressure area (i.e., below the filter plate). Therefore, the ferrous agent will move to the low-pressure area and quickly mix with the water flow. When the water flows through the filter plate, due to changes in flow rate and pressure, the water flow will become unstable and form turbulence. Turbulence is a complex flow state in which the fluid The speed and direction are constantly changing. This instability increases the frequency of collisions between the fluid and the hydrogen peroxide reagent, allowing the two to mix quickly. Compared with conventional Fenton reaction devices, the filter plate 18, as a key component, has changed the traditional way of mixing wastewater and reagents. The filter plate 18 is not only used for filtering, but more importantly, its design and layout achieve uniform distribution of the reagent in the wastewater, avoiding the use of a stirring device. At the same time, when the wastewater flows through the filter plate 18, due to the action of the filter plate 18, the wastewater and the reagent are effectively mixed, thereby improving the reaction efficiency.
[0021] During the Fenton process, the total hydrogen peroxide dosage is a (hydrogen peroxide:COD) mass ratio of 0.5 to 5:1, and the ferrous iron dosage is a (hydrogen peroxide:ferrous iron) molar ratio of 5 to 20:1. The hydrogen peroxide dosage in the first tower body 1 is controlled to be 1 / 2 of the total dosage, while the ferrous iron dosage is the entire dosage. The staged addition of hydrogen peroxide effectively avoids the waste and ineffectiveness of the reagents caused by adding too much hydrogen peroxide at once. An external circulation pipe is set in the first tower body 1 to achieve sufficient exchange and mixing of wastewater in the tower, thereby improving the wastewater treatment effect. The reflux ratio is controlled at 0.5-2, and the residence time of the first tower body 1 is 20-120 minutes. The reflux can also effectively reduce the amount of ferrous iron added. In the Fenton reaction, some trivalent iron will be reduced to ferrous iron. By setting up a reflux pipe, this reduced ferrous iron can be pumped back to the bottom of the Fenton tower to continue reacting with fresh hydrogen peroxide, thereby reducing the amount of ferrous iron added from the outside. Reducing the external ferrous iron addition not only saves costs, but also, since ferrous iron is one of the main reagents in the Fenton reaction, its reduction also means reducing the amount of subsequent sludge generated. This is because the reaction of ferrous iron with hydrogen peroxide will produce some solid precipitates, which will increase the total amount of sludge.
[0022] The second tower body 2 is generally the same as the first tower body 1. In particular, the ferrous medicine distribution pipe and the ferrous medicine dosing pipe are reduced. The outlet water of the first tower body 1 enters the second tower body 2 through the pipeline, and the remaining hydrogen peroxide agent is added to start the reaction. The residence time in the second tower body 2 is 20 to 120 minutes.
[0023] The third tower body 3 is free of drug distribution and dosing pipes. Instead, it is filled with a Fenton catalyst at a ratio of 1:3-5 between the catalyst filling volume and the tower's effective volume. An inspection port is provided within the third tower body 3 to facilitate packing replacement and internal tower maintenance. The effluent from the second tower body 2 flows through a pipeline into the third tower body 3, where it remains for 15-60 minutes.
[0024] Fenton towers are equipped with a backwash system. After a period of use, the backwash water pump is turned on to clean the inside of the Fenton tower. The backwash water is discharged from the backwash outlet and collected and discharged into the collection tank.
[0025] The bottom of the Fenton tower is set to be conical to avoid dirt accumulation during the reaction and backwash process, forming dead corners that are difficult to clean and affecting subsequent use and water output.
[0026] To avoid corrosion to the device caused by long-term contact with ferrous iron and hydrogen peroxide, the Fenton tower is made of 316 stainless steel and sprayed with anti-corrosion paint.
