Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of heavy metal wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically, relates to an integrated device for comprehensive heavy metal wastewater treatment. Background Technology

[0002] my country has a large number of mines. During the mining process, human disturbance to the mines can lead to the overflow of wastewater containing heavy metals from the pits and tunnels due to rainwater leaching, soaking, and mine water inflow. In addition, during the closure and sealing of mines, some mine water may leak and overflow due to technical reasons. This type of wastewater has a low pH and generally contains a variety of heavy metals such as iron, manganese, cadmium, copper, and antimony. Its composition is complex and its distribution is relatively dispersed, making centralized treatment difficult. Direct discharge of such wastewater will cause pollution to downstream rivers, lakes, and farmland, and endanger the safety of surrounding residents, resulting in watershed-wide mine water pollution.

[0003] Currently, the main method for removing iron and manganese from wastewater in China is through catalytic oxidation using manganese sand filters. For wastewater containing multiple heavy metals such as cadmium, copper, and antimony, coagulation sedimentation filtration is the primary method. In particular, for low-concentration wastewater, a dual-membrane filtration system is required to treat it to meet discharge standards. However, traditional membrane filtration equipment is complex, requires highly skilled operators, and equipment failures can disrupt normal operation, resulting in high operating and maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to develop an integrated special-purpose equipment with low manufacturing, operation and maintenance costs that can simultaneously process multiple heavy metals such as iron, manganese, cadmium, copper and antimony. Utility Model Content

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the illustration, an integrated device for treating heavy metal wastewater according to an embodiment of this application will now be described. This integrated device for treating heavy metal wastewater includes: a tank body 1, within which a mixing reaction tank 2, a sedimentation tank 3, a sand filter tank 4, and an ion reaction tank 5 are provided. Figure 3 As shown, when the length of tank 1 is sufficient, the mixing reaction tank 2, sedimentation tank 3, sand filter tank 4, and ion reaction tank 5 are arranged in a straight line; as shown... Figure 1 As shown, when the length of tank 1 is insufficient but the width is sufficient, the mixing reaction tank 2 and sedimentation tank 3 are arranged in a straight line, and the sand filter tank 4 and ion reaction tank 5 are arranged in a straight line. The specific layout can be selected according to the size of tank 1, so that the layout structure is compact.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-3 As shown, the mixing reaction tank 2 is equipped with a wastewater inlet 21. The wastewater, after pretreatment such as grit removal, enters the equalization tank and is then pumped into the mixing reaction tank 2 through the wastewater inlet 21 by a lift pump. The wastewater in the mixing reaction tank 2 flows in an S-shape, which increases the reaction time and improves the coagulation effect. The wastewater in the mixing reaction tank 2 overflows into the sedimentation tank 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the sedimentation tank 3 is equipped with a sludge return assembly 6 that is connected to the mixing reaction tank 2 for sludge return and reuse. The wastewater in the sedimentation tank 3 overflows into the sand filter tank 4. The bottom of the sand filter tank 4 is connected to the bottom of the ion reaction tank 5. The sand filter tank 4 filters solid impurities, and the ion reaction tank 5 is used to separate metal ions. The purified water in the ion reaction tank 5 overflows and is discharged through the overflow trough.

[0032] The bottoms of the mixing reaction tank 2, sedimentation tank 3, and sand filter 4 are all connected to aeration components 7. The mixing reaction tank 2 is connected to aeration components 7, which agitate the wastewater within the tank, improving coagulation efficiency. Simultaneously, aeration helps oxidize heavy metal pollutants containing iron and manganese, leading to iron and manganese precipitation, facilitating subsequent removal. Replacing conventional mechanical agitation with aeration reduces costs and simplifies installation and maintenance. The sedimentation tank 3 is connected to aeration components 7, enabling sludge recirculation via gas, eliminating the need for conventional sludge lift pumps, reducing costs, and allowing for smaller flow control of the sludge-water mixture. This increases coagulation nuclei, enhances the coagulation effect, and achieves energy savings, lower equipment investment, and reduced operation and maintenance workload. The sand filter 4 is connected to aeration components 7, allowing for backwashing via gas to ensure proper filtration and treatment.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mixing reaction tank 2 is provided with several staggered baffles 22. The baffles 22 are staggered with the openings on the side wall of the tank body 1 in a horizontal or vertical manner to make the water flow in an S-shape. The baffles 22 are PP baffles or PE baffles, which reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0034] In this embodiment, a water inlet channel 33 is formed in the sedimentation tank 3 by a partition vertical plate. The water inlet channel 33 is connected to the mixing reaction tank 2. The purpose of the water inlet channel 33 is to guide the incoming water to the lower part of the sedimentation tank 3, ensuring that the upper part of the sedimentation tank 3 is not disturbed by the incoming water, thus achieving natural sedimentation. The bottom inner wall of the sedimentation tank 3 is set in a funnel shape, which facilitates the accumulation of sediment. The sludge return assembly 6 includes at least a sludge return pipe 61. One end of the sludge return pipe 61 is set in the funnel shape, and the other end is set at the top of the mixing reaction tank 2, for returning part of the sludge in the sedimentation tank 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, sludge return is achieved by air lifting. One end of the sludge return pipe 61 is provided with an inverted funnel 62, which is placed in the sludge. The air outlet of the aeration assembly 7 in the sedimentation tank 3 is placed in the funnel 62. The airflow generated by the aeration assembly 7 flows into the sludge return pipe 61 through the funnel 62, thereby realizing air lifting return.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom of the sedimentation tank 3 is provided with a sludge discharge pipe 31, which is used to discharge the settled sludge into a sludge treatment tank or equipment.

[0036] In this embodiment, a sedimentation outlet tank 32 and a sand filter inlet tank 41 are respectively provided on both sides of the partition wall between the sedimentation tank 3 and the sand filter tank 4. The height of the sedimentation outlet tank 32 is higher than the height of the sand filter inlet tank 41. Specifically, the height of the sedimentation outlet tank 32 is at least 150mm higher than the height of the sand filter inlet tank 41. The purpose of this arrangement is to achieve uniform water distribution and low water flow resistance by using an integrated effluent and inlet configuration.

[0037] In this embodiment, multiple ion reaction tanks 5 are arranged side by side to ensure the treatment effect; each ion reaction tank 5 is equipped with an ion exchange reaction bed 51, which is modularly arranged for easy replacement; wastewater flows in each ion reaction tank 5 through bottom inlet and top outlet to ensure that the clean water overflows from the top.

[0038] In this embodiment, the aeration component 7 includes at least a blower and several air pipes. Two blowers are provided, used alternately, so that one is in use while the other is on standby for emergency situations. The several air pipes are respectively connected to the mixing reaction tank 2, the sedimentation tank 3, and the sand filter 4. Among them, the air pipe connected to the mixing reaction tank 2 is called the stirring air pipe 71, and the stirring air pipe 71 is arranged in an S-shape; the air pipe connected to the sedimentation tank 3 is called the air lift air pipe 72, and the air lift air pipe 72 is inserted into the funnel 62; the air pipe connected to the sand filter 4 is called the backwash air pipe 73, and the backwash air pipe 73 is used to realize air backwashing; in this embodiment, the upper part of the sand filter 4 is also provided with a backwash drainage trough 42, and the lower part of the sand filter 4 is connected to a backwash water pipe 43. The backwash water pipe 43 is connected to a water source, which can perform water backwashing on the sand filter 4, and the backwash water can be discharged through the backwash drainage trough 42. In the embodiment, the aeration component 7 uses a single blower that serves as a mixer, provides iron and manganese oxide, sludge return, and provides air for sand filter backwashing. This results in high equipment utilization, simplified system equipment configuration, simple equipment operation and maintenance, low investment, and low operating costs.

[0039] For projects with large flow rates, this device can be connected in parallel to achieve compliance treatment.
