[0028] The high-density, zero-discharge, high-efficiency sedimentation tank 3 for wastewater reuse provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a high-density, zero-discharge, high-efficiency sedimentation tank for reclaimed water includes a coagulation tank 1, a flocculation tank 2, a sedimentation tank 3, and an effluent tank 4. The coagulation tank 1 and the flocculation tank 2 are connected by a first pipe 5, and the flocculation tank 2 is connected to the sedimentation tank 3 by a second pipe 6. An overflow weir 7 is provided at the top of the sedimentation tank 3, and the overflow weir 7 is connected to the effluent tank 4 through an outlet 8. The effluent tank 4 is connected to an outlet pipe 9.

[0031] Due to the adoption of the above structure, the PAC coagulant dosing device is arranged in the coagulation tank 1, and the PAC coagulant is added into the coagulation tank 1 through the device; the coagulation tank 1 adopts the mechanical stirring mode, and specifically, the stirring device 10 is arranged in the coagulation tank 1, the stirring device 10 stirs the water in the tank, so that the fine suspended particles and colloidal ions in the water are destabilized, aggregated and coagulated to form micro-flocs under the action of the PAC coagulant, the micro-flocs are pushed out through the pipeline 5, and then enter the flocculation tank 2 (corresponding to the flocculation reaction tank) for subsequent treatment.

[0032] The flocculation tank 2 is provided with a flocculant dosing port for adding flocculant into the tank, so that the water after coagulation is fully mixed with the flocculant in the flocculation tank 2; the flow guide cylinder 11 in the flocculation tank 2 divides the flocculation reaction into two parts, the inside of the flow guide cylinder 11 is stirred by the stirring impeller 112 at the lower end of the stirring shaft 111 of the stirring device 10, so as to realize rapid flocculation; slow flocculation is realized between the outer wall of the flow guide cylinder 11 and the tank wall due to the push flow condition of the water flow, so as to ensure the increase and compaction of the alum flowers. Meanwhile, the water inlet suspended solid concentration detection device (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the water inlet of the coagulation tank 1, and the sludge backflow adjusting device (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the flocculation tank 2, which is connected with the sludge discharge pipe 14 at the bottom of the sedimentation tank 3 and the water inlet end of the flocculation tank 2; according to the data monitored by the water inlet suspended solid concentration detection device, the sludge backflow adjusting device is used to adjust the backflow of the concentrated sludge in the concentration tank of the sedimentation tank 3, so as to maintain the suspended solid concentration in the stirring tank area of the flocculation tank 2 at the optimal level.

[0033] The sedimentation tank 3 corresponds to the sedimentation tank 3 of the high-efficiency clarifying sedimentation tank 3 and the clarifying tank of the reflection plate 12; the area of the sedimentation tank 3 is relatively large; when the alum flowers formed by the micro-flocs enter the sedimentation tank 3, the moving speed of the alum flowers slows down, so as to avoid the breakage of the alum flowers and the formation of vortex, and most of the suspended solids are precipitated and concentrated in the sedimentation tank 3; the concentration tank is divided into an upper layer above the conical cylinder 13 and a lower layer below the conical cylinder 13; part of the concentrated sludge is pumped back to the water inlet at the bottom of the flow guide cylinder 11 of the flocculation tank 2 through the sludge discharge pipe 14, and the rest of the concentrated sludge is discharged to the sludge treatment system through the sludge discharge pipe 14; the concentration of the concentrated sludge is between 10-40 g / L; the reflection plate 12 is further arranged in the sedimentation tank 3; the sewage flows through the reflection plate 12 to remove the remaining alum flowers; by reasonably designing the inclination angle and spacing of the reflection plate 12 and the uniform water distribution device (such as the perforated water distribution pipe or the water distribution weir structure arranged at the water inlet end of the sedimentation tank 3), the water distribution is ensured to be uniform on the entire area of the reflection plate 12, so that the sedimentation is completed in the best state; the effluent passes through the overflow weir 7 at the top of the sedimentation tank 3, enters the effluent tank 4 through the effluent outlet 8, and then flows to the subsequent treatment facilities through the effluent pipe 9.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] In this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the preceding embodiments, the coagulation tank 1 comprises a plurality of reaction chambers 101 connected in series, the first reaction chamber 101 is connected to the water inlet, the last reaction chamber 101 is connected to the pipeline 1, the adjacent reaction chambers 101 are connected through the reserved holes 102, and each reaction chamber 101 is provided with a stirring device 10.

[0036] In this embodiment of the present application, the flocculation tank 2 is provided with a flow guide cylinder 11, and the flow guide cylinder 11 is provided with a stirring device 10.

[0037] In this embodiment of the present application, the stirring device 10 is a stirring shaft 111 driven by a motor, and the lower end of the stirring shaft 111 is provided with a stirring impeller 112 and extends into the reaction chamber 101 or the flow guide cylinder 11.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , due to the adoption of the above structure, the plurality of reaction chambers 101 of the coagulation tank 1, by optimizing the stirring speed, paddle shape, size and installation position of the stirring device 10 of each reaction chamber 101, further improves the coagulation effect, so that the fine suspended particles and colloidal ions in the water are more fully destabilized, aggregated and coagulated to form small floc. The stirring impeller 112 connected to the stirring shaft 111 in the flow guide cylinder 11 of the flocculation tank 2 can be frequency-adjusted according to the flocculation requirements to more accurately control the flocculation speed inside the flow guide cylinder 11, thereby forming larger, denser and uniform alum flowers.

[0039] Embodiment 3:

[0040] In this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the preceding embodiments, the sedimentation tank 3 is provided with a reflection plate 12, and the reflection plate 12 is located between the pipeline 2 and the overflow weir 7.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , due to the adoption of the above structure, the reflection plate 12 in the sedimentation tank 3 can change the direction of the water flow, further slow down the moving speed of the alum flowers, cooperate with the larger area of the sedimentation tank 3, better avoid the breakage of the alum flowers and the formation of vortex, and make the suspended solids more fully precipitate.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6 shown, due to the adoption of the above structure, the conical cylinder 13 at the bottom of the sedimentation tank 3 serves as a key structure for storing sludge, which helps to further increase the sludge concentration, so that the sludge concentration in the conical cylinder 13 is higher than that in other pool areas of the sedimentation tank 3, and the sludge for external discharge and backflow is discharged from the conical cylinder 13. The I-shaped pipe 15 connected with the pipe two 6 has a special structure which can uniformly distribute the water flow entering the sedimentation tank 3 to the upper part of each conical cylinder 13, so as to ensure that the water amount received by each conical cylinder 13 is relatively balanced with the sludge amount, which is beneficial to the sedimentation and concentration of the sludge in the conical cylinder 13, and also facilitates the subsequent backflow and discharge operation of the sludge.
