Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically relating to a leachate treatment system for mining and smelting stockpiles. Background Technology

[0002] Leachate treatment is a crucial aspect of the operation of mining and smelting stockpiles. Leachate typically contains various harmful substances and impurities, and its direct discharge without proper treatment will cause serious environmental pollution. Traditional leachate treatment methods often suffer from low efficiency, poor treatment results, and high operating costs. Therefore, developing a highly efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly leachate treatment system is of paramount importance.

[0003] Most existing leachate treatment technologies employ single filtration or adsorption methods, making it difficult to effectively remove multiple contaminants from leachate. Furthermore, these technologies often lack flexibility and adjustability during the treatment process, failing to provide targeted treatment based on the specific pollution levels of the leachate. In addition, traditional treatment systems often neglect the synergistic effects between different treatment units, resulting in low overall treatment efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a novel leachate treatment system for mining and smelting stockpiles. This system effectively removes multiple pollutants from the leachate through the rational layout and combination of different treatment units. Furthermore, the system possesses high flexibility and adjustability, enabling targeted treatment based on the actual pollution levels of the leachate. In addition, by optimizing the synergistic effect between the various treatment units, overall treatment efficiency is improved, and operating costs are reduced. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0026] A leachate treatment system for mining and smelting stockpiles, as shown in the attached... Figure 1-2 As shown, the system includes a filtration zone 1, a reaction zone 2, and a clear water zone 3 arranged from left to right.

The cement mortar-crushed stone concrete layer 8 has several conveying pipes I 9 arranged from bottom to top. The reaction zone 2 is divided from left to right into a storage chamber 11, an adsorption chamber I 12, and an adsorption chamber II 13 by a partition layer 10. The conveying pipes I 9 are connected to one side of the storage chamber 11, and the other side of the storage chamber 11 is located in the... A plurality of conveying pipes II14 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top within the partition layer 10. A plurality of mesh adsorption bags I15 are arranged within the adsorption chamber I12.

On the other side of the adsorption chamber II13, a plurality of conveying pipes IV18 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top within the partition layer 10. The conveying pipes IV18 extend into one side of the clear water zone 3.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to monitor and adjust the leachate flow rate in real time, electric flow regulating valves 19 are installed at the right ends of the conveying pipes I 9, II 14, III 16, and IV 18, and electromagnetic flow meters 20 are installed on each of them.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to monitor water level changes in real time and prevent overflow or drying up, pressure-type water level sensors 21 are installed in the storage chamber 11 and the clear water area 3.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to enhance the uniformity and efficiency of the reaction, aeration heads 22 are respectively provided at the bottom of the adsorption chamber I 12 and adsorption chamber II 13 and the mesh adsorption bag I 15 and mesh adsorption bag II 17. The aeration heads 22 are connected to an air flow meter 23 through a pipeline, and the air flow meter 23 is connected to an air pump 24 through a pipeline.

[0030] Specifically, the mesh adsorption bag I 15 and mesh adsorption bag II 17 can be freely filled with filler materials. For mesh adsorption bag I 15, the filler materials can be selected such as microbial carriers, heavy metal adsorbents, organic matter removal agents, etc. For mesh adsorption bag II 17, the filler materials can be selected and added according to the type and concentration of pollutants. At the same time, this setting also facilitates the replacement of filler materials.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to analyze the leachate pollutant removal effect in real time and adjust the flow rate of the entire system in real time, and adapt to the fluctuation of leachate volume under different rainfall conditions, thereby improving the system's operating efficiency and stability, the storage chamber 11, adsorption chamber I 12, adsorption chamber II 13, and clear water zone 3 are each equipped with a monitoring port 25.

An electric flow regulating valve 19 is installed at the end of the conveying pipes V32 away from the clear water zone 3.

[0034] Working principle

[0035] As attached Figure 1-2As shown, the leachate first flows through the quartz sand layer 4, which effectively intercepts large particles of silt. It then enters the zeolite layer 5, further intercepting small particles of silt and utilizing the adsorption capacity of the zeolite material to partially remove heavy metals and organic matter from the leachate. Finally, it flows through the activated carbon and quartz sand composite layer 6, achieving further interception of residual fine particles and enhancing the adsorption and degradation of heavy metals and organic matter. Next, it enters the crushed rock layer 7 as a transition layer for primary sedimentation and homogenization. Further, the leachate is transported to the storage chamber 11 via the conveying pipe I 9 installed on the cement mortar crushed stone concrete layer 8 for storage. The concentration of pollutants in the leachate is monitored by an online monitor 28, and the influent concentration is adjusted by a PLC combined with an electric flow regulating valve 19 and an electromagnetic flow meter 20. Finally, the leachate is transported through the conveying pipe II 14... The leachate is sent to adsorption chamber I12, where the flow rate and residence time are controlled by a PLC combined with an electric flow regulating valve 19 and an electromagnetic flow meter 20 to ensure full contact with the added packing material. Simultaneously, air pump 24 aerates the bottom to enhance the uniformity and efficiency of the reaction. Further, the leachate is transported to adsorption chamber II13 via conveying pipe III16. After flowing into adsorption chamber II13, the leachate undergoes final purification treatment using a PLC combined with an electric flow regulating valve 19 and an electromagnetic flow meter 20. Depending on the type and concentration of pollutants, additional packing material is selected to ensure that the pollutant concentration meets discharge or reuse standards. The treated leachate is then transported to clear water zone 3 via conveying pipe IV18. The water quality in this zone meets the company's discharge or reuse standards and can be used for various purposes such as industrial recycling, agricultural irrigation, or landscaping. Finally, the leachate is discharged via conveying pipe V32.
