Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model discloses a water treatment device, particularly an integrated industrial circulating water ion removal device. Background Technology

[0002] In an open-loop circulating water system, the water is recooled through a cooling tower. Therefore, the cooling water comes into contact with air during the recirculation process, and some of the water is continuously lost through evaporation as it passes through the cooling tower. Consequently, the content of various minerals and ions in the water is continuously concentrated and increased.

[0003] As the ion content continues to increase, the circulating water becomes hard water, making it easier for calcium to precipitate and causing blockages in water pipes, boilers, and other equipment. Due to the increasing cost of equipment maintenance, water hardness has become one of the criteria for judging production costs.

[0004] For example, a patented high-salinity water softening device based on the principle of electromagnetic adsorption (CN218539438U) removes metal ions from hard water using electromagnetic adsorption, while a decarbonator discharges dissolved carbon dioxide from the water and re-introduces it into the electromagnetic adsorption pipeline to aid in the removal of metal ions. However, it has the following problems:

[0005] 1. Although the method of using non-chemical methods for electromagnetic adsorption of heavy metal ions was considered, it was not taken into account that the cooling water comes into contact with air during the recirculation process. Various bacteria in the air will form algae in the water. Over time, the algae will spread on the pipe wall and adsorption device, which will affect the overall working efficiency of the softening device.

[0006] 2. It uses an uneven method to block water in order to prolong the water's residence time in the softening device, but the effect is not significant. Furthermore, since the adsorption surface of the device is only the raised side wall and the top wall, the overall adsorption surface is not large, which further limits the adsorption effect of metal ions on industrial water.

[0007] 3. Over time, dirt and grime will accumulate on the electromagnetic rod, eventually causing blockage of the entire pipeline. Since it is an integrated design, the entire softening device needs to be replaced, resulting in high maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing hard water softening devices that do not take into account the growth of algae in the water, have limited adsorption effect, and have high maintenance costs.

[0009] Technical solution: To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] An integrated industrial circulating water ion removal device includes a housing. A first inlet and a first outlet are located near the bottom on one end face along the length of the housing. The first inlet is connected to an inlet pipe, which extends upwards within the housing and connects to one end of a sterilization and algae removal tank located at the top of the housing and extending along the length of the housing. A second outlet is located at the other end of the sterilization and algae removal tank and connects to an outlet pipe. A third outlet of the outlet pipe is located near the bottom on one side of an adsorption chamber within the housing. Several uniformly distributed adsorption devices capable of adsorbing calcium and magnesium ions in the water are arranged along the length of the adsorption chamber. An overflow outlet of an overflow pipe is located near the top on the other side of the adsorption chamber and connects to the first outlet. All adsorption devices are connected to an electrical control box located within the housing, and the electrical control box is connected to a power source.

[0011] Through integrated design, the sterilization and algae removal tank, adsorption chamber, and electrical control are combined to obtain a product that can be practically applied. Considering that the nature of hard water is due to the continuous evaporation of water and the continuous increase in the concentration of metal ions caused by the contact between circulating water and air, it is inevitable that when air comes into contact with circulating water, algae will grow in the circulating water due to the presence of various microorganisms in the air. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a sterilization and algae removal tank to disinfect microorganisms and algae.

[0012] Furthermore, the adsorption device is cylindrical and is arranged along the height direction of the adsorption cavity. The outer surface of the adsorption device is the negative electrode, and two positive electrodes are arranged inside the cylinder. The two positive electrodes and the negative electrode are connected to the same terminal, and the terminal is connected to the electrical control box.

[0013] Employing the principle of electroadsorption, a negative electrode is set on the outer surface of the cylinder wall, which can effectively adsorb positively charged metal ions in the water, producing an adsorption effect. The circular cylinder wall design increases the contact area between the circulating water and the cylinder wall, thereby improving the adsorption effect.

[0014] The adsorption device is a detachable adsorption device, as can be seen from the design of the terminals. This way, after each time the outer surface of the cylinder wall is over-adsorbed, the adsorption device corresponding to the corresponding terminal can be removed without affecting the adsorption devices corresponding to other terminals, and they can continue to work.

[0015] Furthermore, every three adsorption devices are connected to an electrical control box.

[0016] Furthermore, six adsorption devices are installed inside the adsorption chamber. Three of the six adsorption devices are grouped together and connected to two electrical control boxes respectively.

[0017] Each group consists of three units, forming a backup mechanism. If one of the control boxes malfunctions, the corresponding adsorption device in the other control box will still function, preventing the overall system from becoming paralyzed.

[0018] Furthermore, each set of adsorption devices is evenly distributed along the length of the adsorption chamber.

[0019] This allows the device to remain in contact with the circulating water for as long as possible along its travel path, thus improving the adsorption effect.

[0020] Furthermore, the third outlet of the water outlet pipe is located on one side of the width direction of the adsorption chamber, and the overflow outlet is located on the other side of the width direction of the adsorption chamber.

[0021] The distance from the third outlet to the overflow outlet was increased, which made the adsorption time longer.

[0022] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the adsorption chamber is a hollowed-out bottom surface, and a drain trough is provided below the hollowed-out bottom surface, which is connected to the drain outlet.

[0023] Some of the adsorbed impurities will fall off naturally, and can be discharged directly through the drain, which can extend the maintenance time and reduce maintenance costs.

[0024] Furthermore, several ultraviolet disinfection lamps are evenly distributed along the length of the top of the sterilization and algae removal tank.

[0025] Provide specific technical methods for eliminating algae.

[0026] Furthermore, the drain trough is wedge-shaped, and the drain outlet is located at the bottom of the wedge.

[0027] Provide specific means for sewage discharge.

[0028] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0029] The design scheme of this utility model adopts a highly integrated design, which can simultaneously achieve sterilization and algae removal and calcium and magnesium ion adsorption of industrial hard water through a single device, thereby converting industrial hard water into soft water that can be recycled.

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an integrated industrial circulating water ion removal device includes a housing 1. A first inlet 2 and a first outlet 3 are located near the bottom on one end face of the housing 1 along its length. The first inlet 2 is connected to an inlet pipe 4, which extends upward within the housing 1 and connects to one end of a sterilization and algae removal tank 5 located at the top of the housing 1 and extending along its length. A second outlet (not shown) is located at the other end of the sterilization and algae removal tank 5 along its length. The second outlet is connected to an outlet pipe 6. A third outlet 7 of the outlet pipe 6 is located near the bottom on one side of an adsorption chamber 8 within the housing 1 along its length. Several uniformly distributed adsorption devices 9 capable of adsorbing calcium and magnesium ions in water are arranged along the length of the adsorption chamber 8. An overflow port 11 of an overflow pipe 10 is located near the top on the other side of the adsorption chamber 8 along its length. The overflow pipe 10 is connected to the first outlet 3. All adsorption devices 9 are connected to an electrical control box 12 located within the housing 1. The electrical control box 12 is connected to a power source (not shown).

[0039] Through integrated design, the sterilization and algae removal tank, adsorption chamber, and electrical control are combined to obtain a product that can be practically applied. Considering that the nature of hard water is due to the continuous evaporation of water and the continuous increase in the concentration of metal ions caused by the contact between circulating water and air, it is inevitable that when air comes into contact with circulating water, algae will grow in the circulating water due to the presence of various microorganisms in the air. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a sterilization and algae removal tank to disinfect microorganisms and algae.

[0040] The adsorption device 9 is cylindrical and is set along the height direction of the adsorption chamber 8. The outer surface of the adsorption device 9 is set as the negative electrode, and two positive electrodes are set inside the cylinder. The two positive electrodes and the negative electrode are connected to the same terminal 17, and the terminal 17 is connected to the electrical control box 12.

[0041] The outer surface of the cylinder wall can be designed as a mesh to further increase the specific surface area for electro-adsorption. Generally, ruthenium dioxide coating is used as the negative electrode coating.

[0042] The two positive electrodes make the electric field more stable. Using the principle of electro-adsorption, the negative electrode is set on the outer surface of the cylinder wall, which can effectively adsorb positively charged metal ions in the water and produce an adsorption effect. The circular cylinder wall design increases the contact area between the circulating water and the cylinder wall, thus improving the adsorption effect.

[0043] The adsorption device is a detachable adsorption device, as can be seen from the design of the terminals. This way, after each time the outer surface of the cylinder wall is over-adsorbed, the adsorption device corresponding to the corresponding terminal can be removed without affecting the adsorption devices corresponding to other terminals, and they can continue to work.

[0044] Every three adsorption devices 9 are connected to an electrical control box 12.

[0045] Six adsorption devices 9 are installed in the adsorption chamber 8. Three of the six adsorption devices 9 are grouped together and connected to two electrical control boxes 12 respectively.

[0046] Each group consists of three units, forming a backup mechanism. If one of the control boxes malfunctions, the corresponding adsorption device in the other control box will still function, preventing the overall system from becoming paralyzed.

[0047] Each adsorption device 9 is evenly distributed along the length of the adsorption chamber 8.

[0048] This allows the device to remain in contact with the circulating water for as long as possible along its travel path, thus improving the adsorption effect.

[0049] The third outlet 7 of the outlet pipe 6 is located on one side of the width direction of the adsorption chamber 8, and the overflow outlet 11 is located on the other side of the width direction of the adsorption chamber 8.

[0050] The distance from the third outlet to the overflow outlet was increased, which made the adsorption time longer.

[0051] The bottom surface of the adsorption chamber 8 is a hollow bottom surface 13, and a sewage discharge trough 14 is provided below the hollow bottom surface 13. The sewage discharge trough 14 is connected to the sewage discharge port 15.

[0052] Some of the adsorbed impurities will fall off naturally, and can be discharged directly through the drain, which can extend the maintenance time and reduce maintenance costs.

[0053] Several ultraviolet disinfection lamps 16 are evenly distributed along the length of the top of the sterilization and algae removal tank 5.

[0054] Provide specific technical methods for eliminating algae.

[0055] The drain trough 14 is wedge-shaped, and the drain outlet 15 is located at the bottom of the wedge.

[0056] Provide specific means for sewage discharge.

[0057] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered by the protection scope of this utility model.
