Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of groundwater nitrate removal devices, specifically to a highly efficient device for removing nitrates from groundwater. Background Technology

[0002] Over the years, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, along with sewage discharge, has led to excessive nitrate levels in shallow groundwater in rural areas. Nitrates are converted into nitrites in the human body, which can cause methemoglobinemia and produce carcinogens in infants. High nitrate levels can trigger acute illnesses, even leading to hypoxia and death, necessitating purification measures. Domestic and international methods for treating groundwater with excessive nitrate levels mainly include ion exchange, reverse osmosis, and biological methods. Chinese patent CN212269790U discloses a highly efficient nitrate removal device for groundwater, specifically relating to the field of groundwater nitrate removal. It includes a nitrate-removing filter, with a primary aeration purification tank on one side and a secondary filtration purification tank on the other side. This invention employs a denitrification biological filter, a primary aeration purification tank, and a secondary filtration purification tank. During operation, groundwater is introduced into the denitrification filter via an inlet pipe. The denitrification filter utilizes lightweight, porous spherical ceramic particles as the filter media, with added sucrose as the carbon source. The surface is enriched with numerous functional microorganisms to remove nitrate nitrogen from the water. The water then flows into the primary aeration purification tank to remove residual organic matter, followed by the secondary filtration purification tank to remove suspended solids. Finally, ultraviolet disinfection equipment is used. This simple and reliable process effectively inactivates microorganisms in the water. Using this process to treat groundwater ensures that the effluent meets quality standards.

[0003] The existing technologies described above have the following shortcomings: although they can remove nitrates from groundwater, the equipment requires a large space, making it inconvenient to centrally discharge the nitrogen gas generated during degradation and hindering subsequent collection. Therefore, this paper proposes a highly efficient device for removing nitrates from groundwater to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
