Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluoride-containing wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically, to a combined treatment tank for fluoride-containing wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production processes such as chemical, steel, cement, glass, and metallurgy, naturally occurring fluorine-containing minerals are used as primary or auxiliary raw materials. Especially in the production of solar panels, fluoropolymer backsheets are widely used in the manufacture of photovoltaic modules in China. While this material improves the durability and performance of the modules, it is difficult to recycle and dispose of after disposal, potentially leading to environmental pollution. Fluorine-containing wastewater is characterized by large volumes, wide distribution, and significant variations in fluoride concentration. Different methods of defluorination are required for wastewater of varying concentrations. Fluorine-containing wastewater often contains inorganic acids, alkalis, and salts, further complicating treatment. To protect environmental health and safety and meet national standards for fluorine-containing wastewater discharge, defluorination treatment is necessary before discharge. Treatment methods for fluorine-containing wastewater include precipitation, adsorption, ion exchange, electrochemical methods, electrodialysis, liquid membrane methods, and reverse osmosis. Adsorption precipitation is a method that removes fluoride from wastewater by adding substances with coagulation capabilities or those that can chemically react with fluoride ions. This causes the fluoride in the wastewater to react with these substances to form a large number of colloids and insoluble substances, which are then removed through sedimentation and mud-water separation.

[0003] Traditional fluoride wastewater treatment processes are fragmented, irregularly shaped, require large land areas, have low treatment efficiency, and necessitate long sewage pipelines. Uneven water distribution in some sedimentation tanks can cause a sudden influx of large amounts of wastewater, exceeding the design capacity of the treatment facilities. Furthermore, in some flocculation tanks, the flocs produced after the reaction of chemicals and wastewater accumulate as sludge after entering the sedimentation tank, affecting the efficiency of subsequent treatment processes. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problem to be solved by the utility model

[0005] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, this invention provides a combined treatment tank for fluoride-containing wastewater. This invention integrates a homogenization tank, an online influent monitoring chamber, a high-efficiency inclined plate sedimentation unit, and a sludge conditioning tank into a single, more uniform tank design. This allows for the combination of various irregular processes into a more regular-looking tank shape, shortening the length of sewage pipelines, improving treatment efficiency, reducing land area, and lowering construction and transportation costs. The water distribution tank in the sedimentation unit helps balance the influent flow of the treatment system, preventing the design load of the treatment facility from being exceeded due to a sudden influx of large amounts of wastewater. It also homogenizes the quality of the fluoride-containing wastewater, resulting in more uniform water distribution and stable operation of subsequent treatment units, thus improving treatment stability. The sludge discharge pipe connected to the flocculation tank can discharge a portion of the sludge before the sedimentation tank, avoiding sludge blockage and improving defluorination efficiency.

[0013] The sedimentation zone is an upflow counter-current inclined tube sedimentation tank, and an inclined tube is installed in the middle of the sedimentation zone.

[0014] The bottom of the sedimentation zone is provided with a sludge zone, and the output end of the sludge zone is connected to the sludge conditioning tank.

[0015] The sedimentation zone is topped with a clear water zone, which contains a water collection tank assembly. The output end of the clear water zone is provided with a water outlet channel.

[0016] Furthermore, the submersible mixer is provided in multiple sets and is installed at the inlet and middle of the homogenization tank respectively. The top of the homogenization tank is provided with a stainless steel grating cover and an electric monorail crane. The stainless steel grating cover is correspondingly positioned above the submersible sewage pump.

[0017] Furthermore, the influent online monitoring chamber is located on top of the homogenization tank, and a sampling pump is installed on one side of the influent online monitoring chamber.

The effluent from the flocculation tank enters the inclined tube in the sedimentation zone through the water passage of the flocculation tank. The wastewater flowing into the inclined tube flows downward. During this process, due to gravity, solid particles in the water begin to settle downward into the sludge zone. When the sludge layer reaches a certain thickness, the sludge is discharged through the return sludge pipe and the remaining sludge pipe by the centrally driven thickening scraper. The raw water enters the clear water zone from bottom to top and is discharged outside the tank through the effluent channel.
