[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides a wastewater treatment device, including a pretreatment unit 1, a multi-functional treatment tank 2, and a deep filtration tank 3. The pretreatment unit 1 is connected to the bottom of the multi-functional treatment tank 2 via a first effluent pipe. The multi-functional treatment tank 2 contains an Fe-Cu-C reaction layer 22 and a catalytic oxidation packing layer 23, arranged vertically, with the Fe-Cu-C reaction layer 22 and the catalytic oxidation packing layer 23 positioned above the outlet of the first effluent pipe. The multi-functional treatment tank 2 is connected to the bottom of the deep filtration tank 3 via a second effluent pipe. The deep filtration tank 3 contains a filter layer 32, positioned above the outlet of the second effluent pipe.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-functional treatment tank 2 is equipped with a first aeration mechanism 21, which is located below the Fe-Cu-C reaction layer 22. The first aeration mechanism 21 is connected to the ozone generator 4 through a first air inlet pipe, and a first electric regulating valve 41 is installed on the first air inlet pipe. The deep filtration tank 3 is equipped with a second aeration mechanism 31, which is located below the filter layer 32. The second aeration mechanism 31 is connected to the air generator 5 through a second air inlet pipe, and a second electric regulating valve 51 is installed on the second air inlet pipe.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the outlet of the multi-functional treatment tank 2 is located at the upper part of the multi-functional treatment tank 2. An outlet weir is provided inside the multi-functional treatment tank 2, and the outlet weir is distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the multi-functional treatment tank 2. The outlet of the multi-functional treatment tank 2 is connected to the outlet weir. The outlet of the depth filtration tank 3 is located at the upper part of the depth filtration tank 3. An outlet weir is provided inside the depth filtration tank 3, and the outlet weir is distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the depth filtration tank 3. The outlet of the depth filtration tank 3 is connected to the outlet weir.
[0031] After pretreatment by the pretreatment unit 1, the supernatant of the organic wastewater enters the bottom of the multi-functional treatment tank 2 through the first effluent pipe. Simultaneously, ozone generated by the ozone generator 4 mixes with the supernatant from the pretreatment unit through the first air inlet pipe and the first aeration unit 21, with the ozone dosage controlled by the first electric regulating valve 41 on the first air inlet pipe. The mixed wastewater then passes sequentially through the Fe-Cu-C reaction layer 22 and the catalytic oxidation packing layer 23, where pollutants such as COD, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, and color are removed. The treated supernatant overflows to the effluent weir around the top of the multi-functional treatment tank 2. The water in the weir flows into the bottom of the deep filtration tank 3 through the second effluent pipe. Air from the air generator 5 enters the bottom of the deep filtration tank 3 through the second air inlet pipe and the second aeration unit 31, mixing with the supernatant from the multi-functional tank. The air dosage is controlled by the second electric regulating valve 51 on the second air inlet pipe. The deep filtration tank further removes pollutants from the wastewater through the filter layer 32, ensuring that the effluent meets discharge requirements. After treatment, the supernatant overflows to the effluent weir around the upper part of the deep filtration tank 3, and is finally discharged through the drainage pipe.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pretreatment unit 1 includes an alkali neutralization reaction tank, a PAC (polyaluminum chloride) flocculation reaction tank, and a PAM (polyacrylamide) flocculation reaction tank connected in sequence.

The alkali neutralization reaction tank is connected to a liquid alkali storage mechanism and is equipped with a metering pump to control the amount of liquid alkali added. The PAC flocculation reaction tank is connected to a PAC storage mechanism and is equipped with a metering pump to control the amount of PAC added. The PAM flocculation reaction tank is connected to a PAM storage mechanism and is equipped with a metering pump to control the amount of PAM added.
[0033] Wastewater generated from the main pharmaceutical plant is connected to the inlet of pretreatment unit 1 through a wastewater collection pipe. The organic wastewater passes through an alkali neutralization reaction tank, a PAC flocculation reaction tank, and a PAM flocculation reaction tank in sequence to remove suspended solids and reduce the total phosphorus content in the wastewater. The generated sludge is pumped to the sludge storage tank through a sludge discharge pump connected to the sludge outlet, and suspended solids enter the sludge storage tank through the sludge discharge outlet.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, in the multifunctional treatment tank 2, both the Fe-Cu-C reaction layer 22 and the catalytic oxidation packing layer 23 are fixed inside the multifunctional treatment tank 2 by a supporting mesh plate. The supporting mesh plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the multifunctional treatment tank 2 (via a slide rail and a slider).

After completion, the maintenance port is sealed through the maintenance door.
[0035] In this utility model, the first aeration mechanism 21 and the second aeration mechanism 31 can be selected as needed, and any structure that can achieve the aeration function is within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, refer to Figures 2-3 The second aeration mechanism 31 includes a precast plate 311 and several aeration pipes 312. The precast plate 311 is fixed inside the deep filtration tank 3. Several through holes 313 are opened on the precast plate 311, and a sleeve is installed in the through holes 313. The sleeve includes an integral connecting pipe 315 and an aeration head 316. The connecting pipe 315 is fixed inside the through hole 313 and is provided with internal threads. Several elongated air outlets 314 are opened on the aeration head 316 and are distributed along the axial direction of the connecting pipe 315.

One end of the aeration pipe 312 enters the sleeve and is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 315. The other end of the aeration pipe 312 is connected to the air generator 5 through a second air inlet pipe. Air from the air generator 5 enters the vent hole of the aeration pipe 312 and the aeration head 316 through the second air inlet pipe, and is finally discharged through the air outlet 314. The aeration pipe 312 can move relative to the sleeve, and the size of the air outlet 314 can be adjusted.
[0037] In application, multiple connecting pipes 315 are fixed into multiple through holes 313 of the precast slab 311. The connecting pipes 315 and the aeration heads 316 are hollow and interconnected, with the aeration heads 316 distributed on one side of the precast slab 311. An aeration pipe 312 is screwed into the connecting pipe 315, with its end entering the aeration head 316. When the aeration pipe 312 is screwed clockwise, it moves closer to the aeration head 316, and its end can block the air outlet 314, reducing the aeration rate at the outlet 314. When the aeration pipe 312 is screwed counterclockwise, it moves away from the aeration head 316, releasing the blocking effect of its end on the air outlet 314, thus increasing the aeration rate at the outlet 314.
[0038] The end shape of the aeration pipe 312 can be designed to be the same as that of the aeration head 316, such as a cylindrical structure, and the end of the aeration pipe 312 can fit against the inner wall of the aeration head 316.
