Various methods are employed to remove or reduce harmful substances in mine water, ensuring it meets discharge standards and the environmental quality standards of receiving water bodies, or treating it to various target water qualities.

[0003] When mine water flows through the working face, it carries in a large amount of suspended solids such as coal dust and rock particles, causing the mine water to become turbid, with a distinct color, mostly black and yellowish-brown, and poor sensory properties. The average suspended solids content is above 500 mg / L, and the main components are coal dust, particulate matter, and colloidal FeOH. The high suspended solids content leads to high chemical oxygen demand, bacterial growth in the mine water, and environmental pollution when discharged.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] A typical embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a mine water sedimentation device includes a mixing zone, a flocculation zone, and a sedimentation zone, which are arranged side by side. Mine water passes through the mixing zone, flocculation zone, and sedimentation zone in sequence to remove suspended solids from the mine water.

[0024] Specifically, the mixing zone includes a mixing agitator, a magnetic powder pipe 2, and a coagulant pipe 3. The mixing agitator includes a mixing tank 1. A first stirring motor is installed at the top of the mixing tank 1. The output shaft of the first stirring motor is connected to a first stirring shaft. The first stirring shaft extends to the bottom of the mixing tank 1. Stirring blades are installed at the bottom end of the first stirring shaft. A mixing tank inlet is opened above the side wall of the mixing tank 1, and a mixing tank outlet is opened at the bottom of the mixing tank 1. Mine water enters from the mixing tank inlet and flows out from the mixing tank outlet.

[0025] The mixing tank 1 has an opening at the top. The magnetic powder pipe 2 and the coagulant pipe 3 are both located above the mixing tank 1. Magnetic powder and coagulant are added into the mixing tank 1 through the magnetic powder pipe 2 and the coagulant pipe 3, and mixed with the mine water under the action of the first stirring blade. At the same time, the mine water is pushed out from the mixing tank outlet at the bottom of the mixing tank 1.

[0026] The flocculation zone includes a flocculation agitator and a coagulant aid pipeline 5. The flocculation agitator includes a flocculation tank 4. The bottom surface of the flocculation tank 4 is provided with a flocculation tank inlet. The mixing tank outlet and the flocculation tank inlet are connected by a first pipeline 6. Mine water containing magnetic powder and coagulant flows out from the mixing tank outlet and flows into the flocculation tank 4 from the mixing tank 1 through the first pipeline 6.

[0027] A second stirring motor is installed at the top of the flocculation tank 4. The output shaft of the second stirring motor is fixedly connected to a second stirring shaft. A second stirring blade is installed at the bottom of the second stirring shaft. The second stirring blade is installed in the opposite direction to the first stirring blade. A guide tube 15 is installed inside the flocculation tank 4. The guide tube 15 is sleeved on the outside of the second stirring shaft and the second stirring blade. A coagulant aid pipe 5 is installed at the top of the flocculation tank 4. The coagulant aid pipe 5 extends into the flocculation tank 4, and the outlet of the coagulant aid pipe 5 is located below the second stirring blade. Mine water containing magnetic powder and coagulant enters from the bottom of the flocculation tank 4. Since the second stirring blade is installed in the opposite direction to the first stirring blade, the mine water flows upward along the guide tube 15 under the drive of the second stirring blade. During this process, it passes through the outlet of the coagulant aid pipe 5. The coagulant aid pipe 5 adds coagulant to the mine water and mixes it under the action of the second stirring blade. The magnetic powder acts as the flocculation nucleus, causing the non-magnetic suspended matter to combine with the magnetic powder under the combined action of the coagulant and the coagulant aid, forming a magnetic composite with the magnetic powder as the core. These magnetic composites attract each other under the influence of a magnetic field, forming flocs with large particle size and high density. This increases the chance of collision, accelerates the settling speed of the flocs in the sedimentation zone, effectively shortens the hydraulic residence time in the sedimentation zone, and increases the surface aggregation.

[0028] The sedimentation zone includes sedimentation tank 7, which is connected to flocculation tank 4 via flow channel 8. Flow channel 8 is S-shaped, with one end connected to the bottom of the side wall of flocculation tank 4 and the other end connected to the top of the side wall of sedimentation tank 7. Mine water flows out from the top of the guide tube 15 and flows along the side wall of flocculation tank 4 to the bottom of flocculation tank 4. It then flows into sedimentation tank 7 from the top via flow channel 8. By setting up flow channel 8, the mixing effect can be further enhanced.

[0029] A drive motor is installed at the top of the sedimentation tank 7. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. A scraper is installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft. The bottom of the sedimentation tank 7 is inverted conical. The scraper is in contact with the bottom surface of the sedimentation tank 7. Driven by the drive motor, the scraper rotates on the bottom surface of the sedimentation tank 7, thereby scraping the sludge settled on the bottom surface of the sedimentation tank 7. A sludge collection trough is set in the middle of the bottom surface of the sedimentation tank 7. The scraped sludge finally flows into the sludge collection trough.

[0030] A second pipe 9 is provided at the bottom of the sludge collection tank. The sedimentation tank 7 is connected to the magnetic powder recovery device 10 through the second pipe 9. A residual sludge pump 11 is provided on the second pipe 9. The sludge in the sludge collection tank flows to the magnetic powder recovery device 10 through the second pipe 9. The magnetic powder recovery device 10 is a high shear and a magnetic separator. The high shear and magnetic separator are used to recover the magnetic powder in the residual sludge and put it back into the mixing zone for recycling, which reduces the amount of magnetic powder to be replenished. The sludge after recovering the magnetic powder is transported to the sludge treatment system for processing.

[0031] The above-mentioned technology of recovering magnetic powder using a high-shear separator and a magnetic separator is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] The bottom of the sludge collection tank is also equipped with a return pipe 12. The sedimentation tank 7 is connected to the first pipe 6 between the mixing tank 1 and the flocculation tank 4 through the return pipe 12. A circulating sludge pump 13 is installed on the return pipe 12. Part of the sludge in the sedimentation tank 7 is returned to the flocculation tank 4 through the return pipe 12 (the return flow rate accounts for about 5%-10% of the treated water volume), so as to play the role of contact flocculation, enhance the flocculation effect, reduce the flocculation time, and improve the efficiency of mine water treatment.

[0033] The top of the sedimentation tank 7 is equipped with inclined tube packing 14 to increase the sedimentation area. The purified mine water flows out from the top of the sedimentation tank 7 and can be used for underground fire fighting, dust removal and ground washing.

[0034] This invention utilizes a return pipe installed at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, which is connected to a first pipe between the mixing zone and the flocculation zone. By using the return pipe to return some of the sludge in the sedimentation tank to the flocculation tank, it achieves contact flocculation, enhances the flocculation effect, reduces flocculation time, and improves the efficiency of mine water treatment.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
