[0003] Utility model patent CN219709319U discloses a fluoride-containing wastewater treatment system. It utilizes NaOH and calcium chloride as defluorinating agents in a reaction tank to effectively precipitate fluoride ions in the wastewater, removing them there. Then, in a subsequent circulation tank, PAC (polyacrylamide) is used for flocculation and adsorption precipitation to remove other pollutants, achieving good purification. A TMF (diluted silicate) device is added after the circulation tank to concentrate the wastewater and prevent back dissolution. However, direct-connection flocculation and sedimentation suffers from gel leakage and clogging of the subsequent TMF device. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] This embodiment provides a pretreatment device for fluoride-containing wastewater, comprising a wastewater equalization tank, a multi-stage reaction unit, an inclined tube sedimentation tank, a treatment tank, a gel growth tank, a TMF circulation unit, and an activated carbon filter tank connected in series via pipelines equipped with electric valves. The multi-stage reaction unit includes a primary / secondary reaction tank 1 with a volume ratio of 1:1.2-1.5. A continuous, reversible baffle 2 forms a serpentine flow channel within the tank, which, in conjunction with an iron / aluminum salt metering pump dosing system, extends the fluoride ion chelation reaction time by 40%-60%. The inclined tube sedimentation tank 3 uses a 55±5° hexagonal honeycomb inclined tube packing layer 4, with a conical sludge hopper at the bottom connected to the sludge treatment system via a pneumatic valve. The gel growth tank incorporates a laser particle size analyzer and a PAC dosing pump for interlocked control, maintaining the floc particle size within the 80-150μm threshold range. The TMF circulation unit shares an acid / alkali washing tank and an ultrasonic membrane cleaning system with the RO membrane system. RO concentrate is returned to the gel growth tank after pH adjustment. The sludge carbonization module employs two-stage pyrolysis (400℃ / 600℃) with nitrogen protection, and the carbonization products are recycled to the activated carbon filter. This device achieves a fluoride removal rate of ≥92%, maintains a TMF membrane flux of over 50 LMH, and achieves a sludge reduction rate of 75%.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] This embodiment provides another implementation method, differing from Embodiment 1 in that the multi-stage reaction unit adopts a 1:1.5 volume ratio design, and the secondary reaction tank is equipped with double-layer baffles to form a three-dimensional flow pattern. The inclined tube sedimentation tank uses a 60-degree inclined packing layer, and the bottom sludge hopper is connected to the sludge carbonization module through a pneumatic sludge discharge valve. The gel growth tank is equipped with a floc monitoring system to control the PAC dosage and stabilize the flocs at 120μm. The TMF circulation unit is equipped with a cross-flow tubular membrane module and shares a cleaning system containing citric acid and sodium hypochlorite with the RO system. Sludge treatment adopts a two-stage carbonization process: the primary pyrolysis furnace operates at 400℃ in a nitrogen environment, and the secondary pyrolysis temperature is increased to 600℃. The effluent from the activated carbon filter is pumped to the spiral wound RO membrane stack via a high-pressure pump set, and the permeate conductivity is controlled below 50μS / cm. The concentrate is returned to the gel growth tank for further treatment after pH adjustment.

[0027] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Wastewater first enters a series of primary and secondary reaction tanks. Continuous baffles within these tanks force the water flow into a serpentine path, extending the hydraulic retention time. By adding agents such as iron / aluminum salts, fluoride ions chelate with the metal ions in the agents, forming stable fluoride precipitates. The reacted wastewater then enters an inclined tube sedimentation tank, where shallow sedimentation accelerates floc settling. A conical sludge hopper at the bottom collects fluoride-containing sludge, while the clear water at the top enters the treatment tank. The effluent from the treatment tank enters a gel growth tank, where an online particle size analyzer monitors the floc size in real time, controlling the PAC dosage based on feedback. When the detected particle size is below the lower limit, the PAC dosage is automatically increased to promote floc aggregation; when it exceeds the limit, the dosage is reduced to prevent floc breakage. TMF (Transfer Fluoride Mist) concentrates the wastewater through cross-flow filtration, with the concentrated water returned to the front end for further treatment. The permeate is then adsorbed by activated carbon before entering the RO (Reverse Oxidation) system. The sludge treatment system performs temperature-controlled pyrolysis of the sludge generated in the sedimentation tank and TMF, achieving sludge reduction and resource recycling.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
