Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and specifically relates to an internal circulation treatment device for wastewater treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some wastewater treatment processes improve overall treatment efficiency by adding physicochemical methods to replace some biological treatment processes, such as chemical precipitation and advanced oxidation processes. However, excessive addition of chemical reagents in chemical precipitation increases sludge production and operating costs. Advanced oxidation processes can stimulate the reaction system to generate strong oxidizing free radicals, such as hydroxyl radicals, sulfate radicals, and peroxide radicals, further improving pollutant degradation and mineralization efficiency, while also enhancing the biodegradability of wastewater. Among these, ozone oxidation, due to its strong oxidizing power, can degrade complex macromolecular organic matter and has advantages over other advanced oxidation processes, including high degradation efficiency and less sludge accumulation. The utilization rate and dosage of ozone are generally proportional to degradation efficiency and operating costs, so some wastewater treatment processes choose pre- or post-ozone oxidation. However, the oxidation effect of ozone alone is slow and insufficient, and the low solubility and stability of ozone in water limit its application and prevent it from achieving the expected treatment effect.

Preferably, the biological aeration head 3 is located near the bottom of the biological treatment container 1.

[0029] The membrane pressure gauge 5 is installed on the first pipe and positioned between the outlet end of the hollow membrane module 4 and the inlet of the peristaltic pump 6; wherein, the membrane pressure gauge 5 is used to monitor the pressure value of the hollow membrane module 4.

[0030] The ozone catalytic treatment subsystem includes a catalytic reaction column 7, a catalytic aeration head 8, and an ozone generator 9. The catalytic reaction column 7 is a hollow cylindrical reactor. Preferably, the catalytic reaction column 7 is a hollow cylindrical reactor made of polymethyl methacrylate. The catalytic reaction column 7 is vertically arranged inside the biological treatment container 1.

[0032] Equipment Dimensional Features Description:

[0033] Taking a wastewater treatment device as an example, the equipment dimensions of the internal circulation treatment device for wastewater treatment are described in detail below:

[0034] The biological treatment container 1 is a polyethylene plastic drum with an effective volume of 50L; the polyvinylidene fluoride hollow fiber membrane has an average pore size of 0.1µm and a total effective area of ​​0.35m². 2 The diameter of the catalytic reaction column 7 is 10cm, the height is 22cm, and the effective volume is 2500mL.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] The internal circulation treatment device for sewage treatment described in this utility model operates as follows:

[0037] The wastewater to be treated is added to biological treatment container 1, and biological aeration pump 2 is started to aerate the container, initiating the biodegradation of the wastewater. During aeration, the aerobic aeration time is 3.5 hours, and the anaerobic aeration time is 2.5 hours. Simultaneously, peristaltic pump 6 and ozone generator 9 are started to pump the wastewater from biological treatment container 1 into catalytic reaction column 7, initiating ozone catalytic decomposition. Peristaltic pump 6 and ozone generator 9 operate synchronously, using a 5-minute on / 5-minute off cycle. The ozone intensity generated by ozone generator 9 is 10 g (O3)·h⁻¹. -1 Inside the catalytic reaction column 7, the wastewater that has undergone ozone catalytic decomposition flows back to the biological treatment container 1 through the overflow port 10, thus completing one cycle. When the number of cycles reaches the preset number or the wastewater meets the discharge standard, the water in the biological treatment container 1 is discharged into the preset water storage container to complete the treatment of the wastewater.

[0038] The internal circulation treatment system for wastewater treatment described in this invention involves the wastewater first entering the biological treatment subsystem during operation. Initial biodegradation occurs within the biological treatment container, where aeration is performed by a biological aeration pump at a rate of 3.5 hours for aerobic processes followed by 2.5 hours for anaerobic processes. Subsequently, a hollow membrane module and a peristaltic pump work together to guide the wastewater into the catalytic reaction column through its inlet. The water level within the catalytic reaction column gradually rises as the reaction progresses. Finally, the wastewater flows back into the biological treatment container through the overflow outlet of the catalytic reaction column, completing one cycle. Ozone within the catalytic reaction column is generated by an ozone generator and enters the column through catalytic aeration heads, with ozone aeration and water inflow occurring simultaneously. The catalyst within the catalytic reaction column is selected based on the type of wastewater being treated, using appropriate packing material.

[0039] In this invention, a pressure gauge monitors the pressure value of the hollow membrane module. When the pressure value of the hollow membrane module exceeds 0.03 MPa, the hollow membrane module is cleaned with clean water to remove the filter cake layer adhering to its surface. It should be noted that chemical cleaning of the hollow membrane module is performed during the start-up or end-of-operation phases of the device. The steps for chemical cleaning of the hollow membrane module are as follows:

[0040] First, the filter cake layer on the surface of the hollow membrane module is removed by physical rinsing; backwashing may be performed as needed during physical rinsing. Next, the physically cleaned hollow membrane module is completely immersed in a hydrochloric acid solution with pH=2 for 4 hours, and then rinsed thoroughly with tap water. Afterwards, a 0.5 g·L⁻¹ solution is prepared. -1 Concentration of sodium hydroxide solution and 5 mL·L -1 The membrane module was soaked in a sodium hypochlorite solution mixture for 2 hours, and then rinsed with clean water after soaking.

[0041] In this invention, activated sludge is placed inside a biological treatment container. The outlet end of the hollow membrane module is connected to a membrane pressure gauge and a peristaltic pump. The biological treatment subsystem and the ozone catalytic treatment subsystem are connected through the peristaltic pump and the overflow port. The biological treatment subsystem mainly removes nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater and removes biodegradable organic matter. The ozone catalytic treatment subsystem generates a large amount of active oxygen (ROS) to convert recalcitrant large-molecule organic matter in wastewater into small-molecule organic matter, or directly mineralizes it into CO2 and H2O, effectively improving the biodegradability and treatment efficiency of wastewater.

[0042] The internal circulation treatment device described in this utility model has a simple structure, simplifies the wastewater treatment process, occupies a small area, and saves on investment and operating costs as well as carbon dioxide emissions. Specifically, the combination of a biological treatment subsystem and an ozone catalytic process improves pollutant treatment efficiency and effluent quality, effectively avoiding the need for additional biological treatment processes, reducing the generation of waste sludge and solid waste disposal costs, and making wastewater treatment more environmentally friendly. The catalyst in the catalytic reaction column can be selected according to the type of wastewater being treated, improving treatment flexibility. Furthermore, the methane and other biogas produced by the biological treatment subsystem in the anaerobic stage not only improve energy recovery and utilization rates but also reduce sludge production.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely one of the implementation methods to achieve the technical solution of this utility model. The scope of protection claimed by this utility model is not limited to this embodiment, but also includes any variations, substitutions and other implementation methods that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model.
