Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to an automatic pH adjusting device for acidic ammonium salt solution. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ammonia nitrogen is a common atmospheric and water pollutant, which can cause great harm to the ecological environment and human health. The amount of ammonia nitrogen wastewater in China is large and wide, and the state and local governments have strict regulations and restrictions on the content of ammonia nitrogen in discharged wastewater. Therefore, the standard treatment of ammonia nitrogen wastewater is a practical problem faced by multiple industries. The stripping method is widely used in industrial practice due to its mature process, stable operation, high stripping efficiency and other advantages. The process of stripping is to convert the ionic ammonia ion in wastewater into free ammonia, and then to transfer ammonia nitrogen from liquid phase to gas phase by air. The free ammonia blown out of the wastewater must be absorbed by acid liquid to prevent secondary pollution of the atmosphere. The lower the pH of the acidic absorption liquid, the higher the absorption efficiency of ammonia. In order to ensure the absorption efficiency of free ammonia in gas phase, the pH of the acidic absorption liquid is usually low, and the final absorption completed liquid is a mixture of acid and ammonium salt with a pH of 1-3, which is discharged from the absorption liquid tank periodically. The acidic ammonium salt solution cannot be directly reused and needs to be adjusted to neutral first and then further concentrated in the evaporation system to obtain ammonium salt solids for reuse or sale. The gaseous membrane method, as a new type of energy-saving and efficient wastewater ammonia removal technology, also has the same problem. The absorption completed liquid produced as a byproduct is an acidic ammonium salt solution, which needs to be adjusted to neutral before further treatment.

[0003] In order to obtain pure ammonium salt solution, ammonia water is usually selected as the neutralizing agent for acidic ammonium salt solution. Due to the intermittent discharge of acidic ammonium salt solution and the far smaller amount of wastewater to be treated than ammonia-containing wastewater, manual addition of ammonia water and stirring to mix are commonly used in actual operation of the plant. This method has no equipment investment and low cost, but it not only produces ammonia gas escape during the addition process, which can harm personnel and the environment, but also makes it difficult to control the amount of ammonia water added, thereby making it impossible to control the pH. Using a delivery pump to add ammonia water and stirring to mix not only increases equipment investment, but also makes it difficult to seal the tank with a stirring device tightly, which can easily cause ammonia gas to escape and cause air pollution. Using a pipe mixer to mix ammonia water into acidic ammonium salt solution to adjust its pH to neutral is simple to operate and saves labor, but there are dead angles in the pipe, the two liquid phases cannot be fully mixed, and there is a delay in pH detection, which cannot accurately reflect the pH of the mixed solution in a timely manner.

[0004] In summary, it is necessary to develop an acidic ammonium salt solution pH adjusting device that can stably adjust the pH, has no secondary pollution, is simple to operate and economical. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
