[0022] The neutralization reaction tank 3 , the flocculation reaction tank 4 and the sedimentation tank 5 are integrated interconnected equipment. Ammonia water is added to the neutralization reaction tank 3 to adjust the pH value to 9-10, and PAC and PAM are added to the flocculation reaction tank 4 .

[0024] Furthermore, the water outlet of the pipeline mixer 2 is connected to the neutralization reaction tank 3 through a pipeline. A partition is provided between the neutralization reaction tank 3 and the flocculation reaction tank 4 and a through hole is provided at the bottom end of the partition. The top of the flocculation reaction tank 4 is connected to the top of the sedimentation tank 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, the neutralization reaction tank 3 and the flocculation reaction tank 4 may be provided with baffles, which increase the residence time and reduce the connection between the pump and the water pipe. The pH value of the water entering the neutralization tank is 2-3, and the pH value is adjusted by adding ammonia water. PAC and PAM are added to the effluent in the flocculation reaction tank 4 to produce flocculated sludge, and then connected to the sedimentation tank 5.

[0026] Furthermore, the overflow port at the upper end of the sedimentation tank 5 is connected to the intermediate water pool 6 through a pipeline, and the intermediate water pool 6 is connected to the top of the multi-media filter 7 through a water pump and a pipeline. The operation of the water pump causes the supernatant in the sedimentation tank 5 to be pumped to the top of the multi-media filter 7 through the intermediate water pool 6, and passes through the goose soft stone, quartz sand and activated carbon from top to bottom in turn, and then is connected to the self-cleaning filter 8, which can remove most of the suspended matter.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sludge thickening tank 9 is connected to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 5. Coagulant aids can be added as needed to further reduce the water content of the sludge.

The utility model realizes efficient pretreatment of ferric phosphate wastewater membrane concentration, and by using an integrated device for neutralization, flocculation and precipitation, the equipment investment cost is saved while also saving the floor space, thereby realizing an effective combination of social value and economic value.

[0029] The utility model can remove most of the suspended matter by neutralizing, flocculating and clarifying the iron phosphate wastewater, and finally achieve the water production meeting the water inlet standard of membrane concentration, which provides a guarantee for the subsequent evaporation and crystallization of monoammonium phosphate concentrated solution to achieve the purpose of waste salt recovery.

[0030] Example:

[0031] The TDS of the iron phosphate wastewater in this embodiment is usually more than 50000 mg / L, and the cations are mainly Ca 2+ Mg 2+ 、Fe 3 + 、Mn 2+ etc. metal ions, and the anions are mainly SO 42 - and PO 43 - and a small amount of Cl-. Due to the high suspended matter and hardness, without pretreatment, the reverse osmosis membrane will be scaled and blocked, reducing the water production efficiency and the service life of the membrane, so the pretreatment requirements are relatively high.

[0032] The system comprises a regulating tank 1, a pipeline mixer 2, a neutralization tank 3, a flocculation tank 4, a sedimentation tank 5, an intermediate water tank 6, a multi-media filter 7, and a self-cleaning filter 8, arranged sequentially along the flow path of the ferric phosphate wastewater. The sludge from the sedimentation tank 5 flows through a sludge thickening tank 9 and enters a plate-and-frame filter press 10. The regulating tank 1 receives wastewater from the ferric phosphate production workshop, primarily serving to homogenize and balance the flow. The downstream pipeline mixer 2 utilizes a static spiral mixer to further enhance mixing. The neutralization tank 3, flocculation tank 4, and sedimentation tank 5 are integrated and interconnected. Natural flow is achieved through gravity, with baffles increasing residence time and reducing the need for pump and pipe connections. The pH of the influent to the neutralization tank is set at 2-3, adjusted by the addition of ammonia. The effluent is treated with PAC and PAM in the flocculation tank 4 to produce flocculated sludge, which is then connected to the sedimentation tank 5. By adding ammonia water, the pH value of the iron phosphate wastewater in the neutralization tank can be adjusted to 9-10. Since the main cations in the iron phosphate wastewater are ammonium salts and some metal ions, adding ammonia water does not introduce new ions, which makes the Ca in the wastewater 2+ Mg 2+ 、Fe 3+ 、Mn 2+ Metal ions such as iodine and iodine can produce precipitation, which can effectively remove CCa from wastewater 2+ Mg 2+ 、Fe 3+ 、Mn 2+ The effluent from the overflow port at the top of the sedimentation tank 5 is connected to the intermediate water tank 6 at the rear end. It then passes through a multi-media filter 7 composed of cobblestone, quartz sand, and activated carbon, and finally to a self-cleaning filter 8, which removes most suspended solids. The sludge thickening tank 9 is connected to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 5. Coagulant aids can be added as needed. If the sludge settling effect does not meet the requirements, a coagulant aid (PAM) can be added to the sludge thickening tank 9 through the dosing port. The concentration of PAM is preferably 0.1%. To further reduce the moisture content of the sludge, a sludge scraper is installed in the central sludge separation zone to transport the settled sludge to the sludge discharge port for filtration through a plate and frame filter press 10.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
