The stirring motors of each stirrer are variable frequency motors, which can be adjusted in time according to the conditions in each reaction tank.
[0017] Figure 1 As shown, the treatment process of the high-hardness industrial wastewater softening device is as follows:
[0018] (1) The high-hardness industrial wastewater buffered by the adjusting tank 9 enters the 1# softening reaction tank 10 to remove Mg 2+ , and a certain concentration of sodium hydroxide solution is added at the stirring center of the 1# softening reaction tank 10. The speed of the 1# softening reaction tank stirrer 1 is adjusted to control the mixing of the added sodium hydroxide and the industrial wastewater, thereby ensuring the removal effect of Mg 2+ . The removed Mg 2+ enters the subsequent 2# softening reaction tank 11 in the form of magnesium hydroxide particles, and a certain concentration of sodium carbonate solution is added at the stirring center of the 2# softening reaction tank 11. The speed of the 2# softening reaction tank stirrer 2 is adjusted to control the mixing of the added sodium carbonate and the industrial wastewater, thereby ensuring the removal effect of Ca 2+The removal effect of Ca 2+ The calcium carbonate particles enter the coagulation reaction tank 12, and the magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate particles in the industrial wastewater are in the form of suspended solids.
[0019] The pH value of the 1# softening reaction tank 10 and the 2# softening reaction tank 11 is maintained at about 11 during operation. At a high pH value, the softening reaction is facilitated, the removal efficiency of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ is improved, and the coagulant and flocculant facilitate the coagulation and flocculation reactions at a high pH value.
[0020] (2) The suspended solids generated after the chemical softening enter the coagulation reaction tank 12, and a coagulant solution of a certain concentration is added. The coagulant solution is added at the stirring center of the coagulation reaction tank 12, and the speed of the stirrer 3 of the coagulation reaction tank is adjusted to control the mixing of the coagulant and the industrial wastewater, so that the suspended solids in the industrial wastewater undergo a coagulation reaction to generate small alunite flowers. After the small alunite flowers are generated, a flocculant solution of a certain concentration is added in the flocculation reaction tank 13. The flocculant solution is added at the stirring center of the flocculation reaction tank 13, and the speed of the stirrer 4 of the flocculation reaction tank is adjusted to increase, compact, and uniform the small alunite flowers. In order to increase the flocculation reaction effect, part of the sludge generated in the subsequent softening sedimentation tank 15 is backflowed to the flocculation reaction tank 13. Since the backflowed sludge is concentrated, the concentration is high, and the floc is also compact. This large and compact floc helps the unreacted flocculant to continue to participate in the flocculation reaction, accelerating the sludge sedimentation. Under the action of the flocculant and the backflowed sludge, the industrial wastewater in the flocculation reaction tank 13 forms a high-concentration suspended sludge layer to increase the particle collision opportunity and effectively adsorb colloids, suspended solids, emulsified oil, COD, and metal ions and other pollutants.
[0021] The coagulant is mostly polyferric sulfate (PFS) and polyaluminum chloride (PAC), and the flocculant is mostly polyacrylamide (PAM). When the suspended solids of the incoming water are very low, the coagulant and the flocculant can not be added or can be intermittently added. The dosage of the coagulant and the flocculant can be determined by beaker tests.
[0022] (3) The effluent after flocculation reaction tank 13 enters the plug flow reaction zone 16 slowly, and the generated alum flower can further contact each other in the plug flow reaction zone 16 and then enter the softening sedimentation tank 15. Most of the generated alum flower is gathered and concentrated into sludge at the bottom of the tank by gravity sedimentation in the softening sedimentation tank 15; the remaining unsedimented alum flower enters the countercurrent inclined pipe at the top of the softening sedimentation tank 15 with the effluent, and the unsedimented alum flower continues to settle to the bottom of the softening sedimentation tank 15 by the action of the inclined pipe. The softening sedimentation tank 15 is provided with a sludge stirring device to uniformly transport the sludge in the sedimentation tank to the conical sludge concentration tank 17 at the middle bottom. The concentrated sludge is transported by the sludge transport pump 7, part of which is sent to the flocculation reaction tank 13, and the excess part is sent to the sludge treatment system. The softening sedimentation tank 15 is provided with an ultrasonic sludge level meter, and the amount of sludge in the softening sedimentation tank 15 is controlled by the sludge transport pump 7 to control the concentration of the concentrated sludge. The effluent of the softening sedimentation tank 15 overflows from the top to the softening effluent tank 19. The industrial wastewater in the softening effluent tank 19 is added with excess NaOH and Na2CO3 to increase the pH value of the water body. In order to ensure the normal operation of the subsequent water treatment process, a certain concentration of sulfuric acid is added in the softening effluent tank 19 to adjust the pH value and maintain the pH value at 7-8.5 for neutralizing the water body.
[0023] (4) The sludge reflux ratio of the device is generally 3%-7% of the influent amount. When the sludge settling performance is poor and the sludge flocculation is small, the sludge reflux ratio can be reduced to improve the bottom sludge concentration and change the settling performance.
