Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment devices, and more specifically, to a device for recovering metals from wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization and increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, metal recovery from wastewater has become a key link in resource recycling and environmental protection. Currently, traditional precipitation is one of the commonly used technologies for metal recovery from wastewater. This method involves adding a precipitant to the wastewater to form metal ions, which are then separated and recovered. However, this method not only has low precipitation efficiency, but also involves a complex precipitate treatment process and is prone to secondary pollution.
[0003] Ion exchange is also a common recycling method, which uses ion exchange resins to exchange metal ions in wastewater to achieve recycling. However, ion exchange resins are expensive, have a limited lifespan, and the regeneration process is cumbersome, requiring a large amount of acid and alkali, which increases costs and is not environmentally friendly. Although adsorption can selectively adsorb metal ions, most adsorption materials have limited adsorption capacity, and the desorption process after adsorption is difficult, making it difficult to achieve efficient metal recovery and reuse of adsorption materials. For example, after activated carbon adsorbs metal ions, the desorption rate is usually low, resulting in resource waste and increased costs.
[0004] Currently, to achieve better metal recovery, corresponding reaction solutions are usually added based on the composition of the wastewater. The reaction converts metal ions into precipitates, thus separating the metals from the wastewater. However, this type of wastewater metal recovery device still has some shortcomings. For example, after separating the metal ions from the wastewater, it lacks a corresponding filtration component, failing to separate the metal precipitate from the wastewater. It also hinders the unloading of the metal precipitate after separation, causing inconvenience to the user. Therefore, we propose a wastewater metal recovery device. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal recovery device in wastewater, including a reaction tank 1. The reaction tank 1 is used for the reaction operation of wastewater and reaction solution. A drain pipe 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the reaction tank 1, and a drain valve 12 is fixedly installed on the drain pipe 11. The reaction tank 1 is used to mix and react wastewater and reaction solution. The drain pipe 11 and drain valve 12 at the bottom control the discharge of the substances after the reaction.
[0030] In this embodiment, a movable filter cylinder 2 is provided at the end of the sewage pipe 11. An outer pipe 22 for discharging wastewater after the reaction is fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter cylinder 2. A mesh cylinder 25 is detachably installed inside the filter cylinder 2. The mesh cylinder 25 has a mesh-shaped cylindrical structure. A filter screen 251 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the mesh cylinder 25. The filter screen 251 is used to block metal particles. A vertical pipe 26 that passes through the outer pipe 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter cylinder 2. A valve 27 is fixedly installed on the vertical pipe 26 so that the mixture after the reaction can enter the filter cylinder 2 in an orderly manner and discharge the waste liquid through the outer pipe 22. The detachable mesh cylinder 25 and the internal filter screen 251 effectively intercept metal particles, realize the rapid separation of metal precipitates and waste liquid, and solve the problem of lack of filter components in traditional devices.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple crossbeams 10 are fixedly installed on the cylinder of the reaction vessel 1. The crossbeams 10 are fixedly installed on the external frame to ensure that the reaction vessel 1 is stably supported.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple inlet pipes 13 are fixedly installed on the top tank of the reaction tank 1. One inlet pipe 13 is used for the introduction of wastewater, and the remaining inlet pipes 13 are used for the addition of reaction solution, which facilitates the introduction of waste liquid and reaction solution.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a top cover 14 is detachably installed on the top surface of the reaction tank 1 by multiple fastening bolts. A stirring motor 15 is fixedly installed at the center of the top surface of the top cover 14. A vertically arranged stirring shaft 151 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the stirring motor 15. A stirring blade 152 is fixedly installed on the stirring shaft 151. The stirring blade 152 is located inside the reaction tank 1, so that the stirring motor 15 drives the stirring blade 152 to fully stir the substances in the reaction tank 1, promote the uniform mixing of wastewater and pharmaceutical solution, accelerate the conversion of metal ions into precipitates, and improve reaction efficiency.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple columns 20 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter cylinder 2, and rollers 21 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the columns 20, so that the filter cylinder 2 can be moved flexibly and the position can be adjusted.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple inner support rods 23 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 2. The mesh cylinder 25 abuts against the ends of the multiple inner support rods 23. The mesh cylinder 25 is inserted and connected to the filter cylinder 2. The mesh cylinder 25 can be removed along the top of the filter cylinder 2, so that the mesh cylinder 25 can be pulled outward to realize operations such as cleaning inside the mesh cylinder 25.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple temperature-controlled electric heating rods 24 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 2. The temperature-controlled electric heating rods 24 are used to heat and dry the filter screen 251, which helps to treat the metal deposits on the inside of the filter screen 251.
[0037] It is worth noting that the bottoms of the reaction vessel 1, filter cylinder 2, and mesh cylinder 25 are all funnel-shaped, which facilitates the concentrated flow of the mixture to the bottom under the action of gravity, improves the separation and unloading effect, and enhances the overall practicality and ease of operation of the device.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the stirring motor 15 and other components involved in this utility model are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art.

The specific connection method should refer to the working principle in this utility model. The electrical connection between each electrical component is completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection method is a technology known in the art.
[0039] When using the wastewater metal recovery device of this utility model, the reaction tank 1 is first securely installed on the external frame by the crossbeam plate 10. Then, the wastewater and the reaction solution are introduced into the reaction tank 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 13. The stirring motor 15 is started to drive the stirring shaft 151 and stirring blades 152 to stir fully, so as to promote the uniform mixing of wastewater and reaction solution and accelerate the conversion of metal ions into precipitates.
[0040] After the reaction is complete, open the drain valve 12. The mixture after the reaction flows into the filter cylinder 2 through the drain pipe 11. At this time, close the valve 27 on the vertical pipe 26. The waste liquid flows out through the filter screen 251 and is discharged through the outer pipe 22. The metal particles are blocked inside the filter screen 251, achieving solid-liquid separation. After the separation is complete, use the bottom column 20 and roller 21 of the filter cylinder 2 to move it to the unloading position. Start the temperature-controlled electric heating rod 24 to heat and dry the filter screen 251. After drying, open the valve 27 to let the metal particles fall out. Alternatively, after the filter cylinder 2 is moved to the corresponding position, remove the mesh cylinder 25 along the top of the filter cylinder 2 and clean the metal particles inside it and the filter screen 251.
