[0002] Currently, various enterprises mainly use three forms of ion exchange columns, which are cation and anion exchange columns in the early 21st century, the filling height of resin in the ion exchange column is about 55% of the column height, the second is full-bed ion exchange column that has been used in large area for 10 years, and the third is full-automatic ion exchange column. Among them, the full-automatic ion exchange column has low operating cost, but the initial hardware investment is 4-5 times that of cation and anion exchange columns, and it has a relatively narrow application range, only in large groups. The operation mode of cation and anion exchange columns is mainly manual operation, which requires strict skills of the operators. Compared with other forms of ion exchange columns, cation and anion exchange columns have lower investment cost, so they are widely used.
[0003] Since cation and anion exchange columns are manually operated, there are inevitably some shortcomings, causing energy consumption or material loss. For example, when using cation and anion exchange columns, pure water is used to press out the materials in the column during regeneration, and some materials may be mixed in the pure water. If too much material is mixed in the pure water, it may cause energy loss in the subsequent concentration process. Switching the state of each valve in advance may cause too much material to remain in the water, resulting in waste of materials. SUMMARY

The bottom of the cation exchange column 01 is connected to the top of the anion exchange column 02. The ion exchange column is capable of separating and purifying substances. Discharge valves are provided at the bottom of both the cation exchange column 01 and the anion exchange column 02.
[0025] The ion exchange column also includes a piping system, which includes a purified water pipe 1, a bottom discharge recovery pipe 2, a sweet water recovery pipe 3, a secondary feed pipe 4, and a reflux pipe 5. The purified water pipe 1 and the secondary feed pipe 4 are connected to the cation exchange column 01 in a top-to-bottom order; the bottom discharge recovery pipe 2, the sweet water recovery pipe 3, and the reflux pipe 5 are connected to the anion exchange column 02 in a top-to-bottom order.
[0026] The valve system is arranged in the pipeline system, wherein the valve system is divided into the first control valve 11, the second control valve 21, the third control valve 31, the fourth control valve 41 and the fifth control valve 51 arranged in the purified water pipeline 1, the lower recovery pipeline 2, the sweet water recovery pipeline 3, the secondary feeding pipeline 4 and the backflow pipeline 5.
[0027] The concentration detection device is arranged in the pipeline system, wherein the first concentration meter 001, the second concentration meter 002 and the third concentration meter 003 are arranged in the backflow pipeline 5, the sweet water recovery pipeline 3 and the lower recovery pipeline 2 respectively.
[0028] The ion exchange column is further provided with the control device, the control device is connected with the concentration detection device, and the control device can adjust the state of the valve system according to the concentration detected by the concentration detection device.
[0029] In the embodiment, the control device adopts the PLC controller, the concentration detection device adopts the conductivity concentration meter, the PLC controller is connected with the conductivity concentration meter, the concentration meter can detect the solution concentration in the pipeline at the installation position, and the detected signal is transmitted to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the valve system through the detected signal.
[0030] The use of the ion exchange column mainly includes four steps, which are specifically:
[0031] Feeding-normal operation (material passing)-pressure material-regeneration
[0032] In the embodiment, the two steps of feeding and pressure material are improved, so that too much water entering the material and too much material entering the water caused by operation in the process of feeding and pressure material can be reduced, and human operation errors can also be prevented, so that the loss of the material is avoided.
[0033] At the beginning of feeding, only the second control valve 21 and the fourth control valve 41 are opened, and the lower recovery pipeline 2 is in an open state, at this time, the cation exchange column 01 and the anion exchange column 02 are filled with residual water after regeneration; the material pushes the water in the cation exchange column 01 and the anion exchange column 02, and the water is discharged from the lower recovery pipeline 2 and treated as sewage.
