Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mine wastewater treatment technology, specifically to an acidic mine wastewater permeation filtration treatment system. Background Technology
[0002] Acidic mine wastewater mainly originates from mine pit water, leaching water from spoil heaps, mineral processing wastewater, and tailings wastewater discharged during mining operations. During mining, various metal sulfide minerals associated with the ore body, under the combined action of air, water, and microorganisms, form a sulfuric acid-ferric sulfate solution, dissolving various ions from the minerals and producing acidic wastewater containing copper, iron, lead, zinc, cadmium, arsenic, etc. Given the harmfulness of acidic mine wastewater, direct discharge without treatment will cause serious environmental pollution. Currently, there are many methods for treating acidic mine wastewater, including physicochemical methods, microbiological methods, and constructed wetland methods.
[0003] Because acidic wastewater from mines contains a large amount of acidic substances, pH neutralization is necessary during its treatment. This involves using alkaline substances (such as lime and sodium hydroxide) to neutralize the wastewater and bring its pH value to a suitable range. Neutralization helps precipitate heavy metal ions from the wastewater, facilitating subsequent treatment. However, in existing acidic wastewater treatment processes, workers directly add alkaline substances to the wastewater, which makes it difficult for the substances to dissolve evenly, affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of pH neutralization. Therefore, we propose a permeation filtration treatment system for acidic mine wastewater. Utility Model Content

A bent pipe 40 connected to the neutralization tank 2 is installed at the inlet of the liquid pump 4.
[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom of the neutralization box 2 is fixedly connected to the bracket 20 by bolts, the two ends of the drive shaft 22 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bracket 20 by bearings, the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the front end of the bracket 20 by bolts, and the bottom end of the stirring shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the bracket 20 by bearings.

[0040] It should be added that the reverse osmosis membrane filter 30 in this embodiment is a high-precision water treatment device. Its core lies in the application of the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. The RO membrane has selective permeability, allowing only water molecules to pass through while blocking dissolved solids, microorganisms, organic matter, and other large molecules. Under certain pressure, usually provided by a pressure pump, water molecules move from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas, thereby achieving water purification. A reverse osmosis membrane filter typically consists of a pre-filter, a reverse osmosis membrane module, a pressure pump, and a cleaning device. The pre-filter removes large suspended solids and particles to protect the RO membrane from damage; the RO membrane module is the core component of the filter, composed of multiple layers of thin films with tiny pores; the pressure pump provides sufficient pressure to allow water molecules to pass through the RO membrane; and the cleaning device periodically cleans the RO membrane to extend its service life. Using the reverse osmosis membrane filter 30 in this embodiment is beneficial for purifying acidic mine wastewater.
[0041] It is worth noting that the motor 5 involved in this embodiment is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0042] In practical use, the user first connects the power supply to the motor 5. The motor 5 starts working, and the output shaft of the motor 5 rotates, driving the transmission shaft 22 and the worm gear 220 to rotate. Since the worm gear 220 meshes with the worm wheel 23, the worm wheel 23 drives the stirring shaft 24 and multiple stirring blades 240 to rotate. The stirring blades 240 rotate and stir the acidic mining wastewater in the neutralization tank 2. At the same time, the stirring shaft 24 drives the main bevel gear 25 to rotate. Since the main bevel gear 25 meshes with the secondary bevel gears 26 on both sides, the secondary bevel gears 26 drive the augers 27 on both sides to rotate. Then, the user puts the alkaline substance into the feeding hopper 29. The alkaline substance enters the feeding pipe 28 through the connecting pipe 290. Under the rotation of the auger 27, the alkaline substance falls into the acidic mining wastewater in the neutralization tank 2 through multiple discharge pipes 281. With the rotation of the stirring blades 240, the acidic mining wastewater can be neutralized.
