[0031] Sedimentation tank 4 is used for solid-liquid separation of the sulfate wastewater that has undergone coagulation reaction, and the supernatant from the solid-liquid separation overflows and is discharged.
[0032] Sludge treatment unit 6 is used to receive and treat sludge from the bottom of the sedimentation tank 4;
[0033] External drainage tank 5, the supernatant of the sedimentation tank 4 overflows into the external drainage tank 5, and the sludge at the bottom of the sedimentation tank 4 is pumped into the sludge treatment unit 6.

Preferably, but not limited to, the reaction tank 1 is connected to the pH adjustment tank 2 through a pipe and a booster pump. The sulfate wastewater in the pH adjustment tank 2 overflows into the coagulation tank 3. PAM solution is introduced into the coagulation tank 3.
