Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ion-type high-nitrogen wastewater treatment, specifically a novel nitrogen reduction electro-adsorption treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wastewater treatment technology, suitable wastewater treatment technologies exist for both high-concentration and low-concentration TN wastewater. However, for situations where neither high-concentration nor low-concentration TN wastewater is suitable, combined treatment technologies are usually required for effective treatment. This design proposes a novel electro-adsorption treatment system for the pretreatment of high-concentration ionic nitrogen-containing wastewater, effectively treating this type of wastewater while balancing operating costs and treatment effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel nitrogen reduction electroadsorption treatment device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. It is suitable for treating industrial wastewater with high TN concentration under mixed wastewater conditions, and has the advantages of low cost and high efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel nitrogen reduction electro-adsorption treatment device, comprising multiple adsorption modules, each adsorption module comprising a housing, PP slots provided on both sides of the housing, electrode plates placed in the housing through the PP slots, and two first partition plates installed inside the housing, the housing dividing the interior into an adsorption zone in the middle and a main concentrate zone distributed on both sides through the first partition plates.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution and using a modular structure, different arrangement combinations can be configured according to the enterprise's water volume and influent concentration to achieve the required size and specifications and can be configured according to the enterprise's site plan. This electro-adsorption device adopts a dual-channel inlet and outlet water form. The device is divided into two main areas: the main concentrate area and the adsorption area. Two water pumps are used to pump wastewater and desorption concentrate respectively. Ionic TN in the wastewater is attracted to the electrode plate concentrate area by the charge on the electrode plate and enriched. The treated low-concentration fresh water is discharged. The desorption concentrate is pumped at a low flow rate to transport the wastewater in the concentrate area enriched by the electrode plate to the concentrate tank. The clear water tank and the concentrate tank are treated with appropriate treatment processes according to the actual concentration and discharged after reaching the standard.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a second partition plate is connected to one side of the two first partition plates that are opposite to each other, and the main concentrate zone is divided into multiple concentrate zones by the second partition plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the main concentrate area is divided into multiple concentrate sub-areas, and the process is carried out in different areas to improve efficiency.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an adsorption pipe connected to the adsorption zone is provided above the shell, a desorption pipe connected to the concentrate zone is provided above the shell, a peristaltic pump is connected to one side of both the adsorption pipe and the desorption pipe, a sewage tank is connected to one side of each peristaltic pump, and a water outlet is provided below the shell, the water outlet is connected to a concentrate tank and a desalination tank.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, two peristaltic pumps are used to pump wastewater and desorption concentrate separately. Ionic TN in the wastewater is attracted to the concentrate zone of the electrode plates by the electrode charge and accumulates there. The treated low-concentration freshwater is discharged into a freshwater tank. Simultaneously, clean water is pumped at a low flow rate to transport the wastewater from the concentrate zone to the concentrate tank. The clean water tank and concentrate tank are then treated with appropriate processes based on the actual concentration to achieve compliant discharge.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a conductivity meter and a power meter are installed between the water outlet and the freshwater pool.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, under stable wastewater discharge conditions, the conductivity of the discharged freshwater is generally correlated with the TN concentration in a curve. Therefore, under the condition of conductivity fluctuation measured by the conductivity meter, the power linkage setting is set to adjust the DC power supply voltage within a certain range, thereby stabilizing the concentration of the discharged freshwater.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: both the first partition plate and the second partition plate are made of PP material, and the surfaces of the first partition plate and the second partition plate are provided with adhesive cloth.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a protective shell is used, which can also achieve insulation effect. The filter cloth is made of 200 mesh or more. The filter cloth reduces the water flow disturbance in the fresh water area and the concentrated water area during the wastewater transmission process, so as to avoid affecting the wastewater treatment efficiency. The filter cloth is covered on the filter plate, and the filter plate is inserted into the module, which can be replaced, cleaned and maintained.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the electrode plate is made of graphite material, and a DC power supply is used to generate current by connecting the electrode plate internally.

[0015] The above technical solution, when using metal plates to conduct electricity, will cause the generation of metal ions and chloride ions, which will affect the wastewater quality and pH value, and will also cause the metal plates to be consumed, ultimately affecting the electro-adsorption efficiency. Using graphite materials can effectively avoid the above situations.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. After pretreatment by an electro-adsorption device, the concentrated wastewater from the enterprise is then treated by MVR evaporation to ultimately form concentrated solid waste and compliant wastewater (the concentrated wastewater treatment by electro-adsorption reduces the energy consumption of MVR treatment); the treated freshwater is discharged in compliance with standards through biological treatment (the nitrogen treatment by electro-adsorption reduces the amount of bacteria TN and the amount of carbon source added, and the electro-adsorption has no effect on the organic components in the wastewater, maintaining the organic matter content in the original wastewater, thereby reducing costs).

[0018] 2. This electro-adsorption device is modular in design, which facilitates on-site installation; the electro-adsorption is powered by a stable DC power supply, and the power consumption and stability meet the actual needs of enterprises; the design reduces wastewater disturbance and improves discharge stability through bidirectional water flow.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model,

[0033] The electrode plate 3 is made of graphite material, and a DC power supply is used to generate current by connecting the electrode plate 3.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] After pretreatment by an electro-adsorption device, the concentrated wastewater is then treated by MVR evaporation to ultimately form concentrated solid waste and compliant wastewater (the concentrated wastewater treatment by electro-adsorption reduces the energy consumption of MVR treatment); the treated freshwater is discharged in compliance with standards through biological treatment (the nitrogen treatment by electro-adsorption reduces the amount of bacteria TN and the amount of carbon source added, and the electro-adsorption has no effect on the organic components in the wastewater, maintaining the organic matter content in the original wastewater, thereby reducing costs).

[0036] Two peristaltic pumps 11 are used to pump wastewater and desorption concentrate, respectively. Ionic TN in the wastewater is attracted to the concentrate zone of electrode 3 by the charge on electrode 3, and the treated low-concentration freshwater is discharged into the freshwater tank 15.
