Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a zero-discharge and desalination treatment device for high-salinity wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Desalination refers to the removal of cations and anions from water to reduce or eliminate its salt content. With continuous societal development and infrastructure construction, large amounts of high-salinity wastewater are generated daily. If this wastewater is discharged untreated, it will pollute the surrounding environment, increasing the salinity of rivers and lakes, causing organisms to die off due to their inability to adapt to their environment. Therefore, desalination devices are needed to remove salt from high-salinity wastewater to avoid adverse impacts on the ecological environment.
[0003] Currently, common desalination methods include chemical precipitation, membrane separation, ion exchange, electrodialysis, evaporation, and cold crystallization. Chemical precipitation involves adding chemical agents to high-salinity wastewater, causing dissolved substances to convert into sparingly soluble substances and precipitate out, thus achieving desalination. Membrane separation, especially reverse osmosis membrane technology, improves water quality and reduces impurities through reverse osmosis treatment. Ion exchange utilizes the exchange reaction between ions in the solid and liquid phases to remove salt. Electrodialysis uses alternating anion and cation exchange membranes; under an applied DC electric field, anions and cations migrate directionally through the selective ion exchange membrane, separating the salt. Evaporation involves heating high-salinity wastewater to evaporate it, leaving the salt behind. Cold crystallization involves cooling high-salinity wastewater to crystallize the salt, then separating the solid crystals.
[0004] However, each of the above methods has its own drawbacks. Chemical precipitation is suitable for metal recovery projects with small volumes and simple compositions, but not so suitable for treating large volumes and complex chemical wastewater. Membrane separation membranes are easily damaged or fouled, therefore requiring strict control of the influent and process parameters. Ion exchange requires numerous and expensive equipment, resulting in high maintenance costs. Electrodialysis has high requirements for the quality of the influent wastewater. Evaporation requires significant energy and space. Cold crystallization also requires substantial energy, and the solids are difficult to handle.
[0005] Therefore, in order to avoid the shortcomings of the above methods, it is an urgent problem to provide a desalination device that can achieve the best desalination effect and realize zero discharge of high-salt wastewater. Utility Model Content

[0021] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0022] (1) This utility model is equipped with a filtration and stirring device. By mixing high-salt wastewater with a reagent (precipitant or flocculant, etc.), the high-salt wastewater is pretreated. This causes impurities (mud, sand, stones, etc.) in the high-salt wastewater to coagulate into large particles of precipitate. This causes ions that are easy to precipitate in the high-salt wastewater (calcium ions, magnesium ions, carbonate ions, etc.) to precipitate first. The filter residue is then filtered out by the filter screen, thus initially removing salt and purifying the water quality.
[0023] (2) This utility model is equipped with an evaporation device. By heating the wastewater, the water evaporates. As the water decreases, the solubility of the salt exceeds the saturation and crystallizes out. The desalination efficiency is high and the operation is simple. However, due to the large amount of energy required, the evaporation device does not completely evaporate the water and retains some salty water.
[0024] (3) This utility model is equipped with an electro-adsorption device. By applying an electric field to the evaporated water, the anions and cations in the water move towards the electrode plates and are adsorbed by the electrode plates, further removing the salt in the water. This process has the advantages of simple process, simple equipment structure, mature technology, and high desalination rate. The treated wastewater is almost salt-free. Since the wastewater has already undergone evaporation and crystallization, the influent water quality is high and meets the usage conditions. After the evaporated water is treated, the high-salt wastewater at the bottom of the tower also flows through the electrode plates. At this time, the electric field is turned off, and the anions and cations in the electrode plates re-enter the water. The salt content in the high-salt wastewater is further increased, and it is mixed with the next batch of wastewater and enters the evaporation device for evaporation treatment.
[0025] (4) This utility model pretreats wastewater using chemical precipitation to initially reduce salt content, then improves wastewater quality using evaporation, and finally removes salt ions from the water using electro-adsorption. Furthermore, untreated high-salt wastewater is recycled and retreated, achieving zero wastewater discharge. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to operate, has good desalination effect, low operating cost, and low maintenance cost. Attached Figure Description

[0043] The first shell 202, the tower body 301 and the second shell 401 are respectively mounted on the base 101, and the base 101 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1.
[0044] The operating principle of this device is as follows: High-salinity wastewater enters the mixing zone 21 through inlet pipe 2021 (or inlet pipe 2022). Chemicals (flocculators, precipitants, etc.) enter the mixing zone 21 through inlet pipe 2022 (or inlet pipe 2021) to mix with the high-salinity wastewater. Motor 2011 is then turned on, driving the anchor-type stirring rod 2013 to rotate, ensuring thorough mixing of the high-salinity wastewater and chemicals. At this time, valve 801 is opened, allowing the high-salinity wastewater to enter the filtration zone 22. Insoluble impurities and precipitates in the wastewater are filtered out by filter plate 204 and discharged through slag discharge pipe 2023.
[0045] The filtrate enters the tower body 301. At this time, the heating jacket 303 is turned on to heat the wastewater. The steam flows to the top of the tower through the through hole 3021, and the liquid water flows to the bottom of the tower through the tower plate 302. The water vapor enters the condenser 304 through the gas outlet pipe 3011 at the top of the tower and is further cooled into liquid water, and then enters the steady flow pump 7.
[0046] The steady-flow pump 7 sends wastewater into the housing 401. A water flow channel 41 is formed between the parallel electrode plates 402. When the wastewater fills the water flow channel 41, the regulated power supply 403 and valve 806 are turned on. The wastewater flows to the outlet through the guiding effect of the guide channel 4022. The regulated power supply 403 provides DC power, and the positive and negative terminals are respectively connected to the parallel electrode plates 402. The parallel electrode plates 402 and the waste liquid in the middle form a parallel plate capacitor, which applies an electric field to the waste liquid. Due to the electric field, the positive and negative ions in the waste liquid begin to move towards the parallel electrode plates 402. Therefore, a large number of positive and negative ions in the wastewater are adsorbed, the salt content is reduced, and clean water is formed. The clean water flows out through the pipe 502.
[0047] After the purified water flows out, close valve 6 (806) and open valve 4 (804). The waste liquid at the bottom of the tower enters the steady flow pump 7, which sends the waste liquid into shell 2 (401). When the waste liquid fills the water flow channel 41, turn off the regulated power supply 403 and open valve 5 (805). The waste liquid flows to the outlet through the guiding action of the guide channel 4022. Because the regulated power supply 403 is turned off, the electric field disappears. At this time, the positive and negative ions adsorbed on the electrode plate are released back into the waste liquid, and the salinity increases, forming high-salt waste liquid. The high-salt waste liquid flows from pipeline 1 (501) to the inlet of tower body 301 and mixes with the next batch of high-salt wastewater before entering the interior of tower body 301 for re-evaporation treatment.
[0048] This device treats high-salt wastewater through evaporation, crystallization, and electroadsorption. The wastewater is recycled for secondary treatment, and the purified water is discharged directly. Most of the salt exists in solid form at the bottom of the tower, which can be cleaned by technicians using routine methods. A small portion of the salt is filtered out by filter plate 204 in solid form, which can also be cleaned by technicians using routine methods. Therefore, it achieves desalination treatment and zero discharge of high-salt wastewater.
[0049] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
