[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3This embodiment of a high-efficiency defluorination device includes a main reaction tank 1, a defluorinating agent dosing tank 2, a coagulant dosing tank 3, a flocculant dosing tank 4, a deacidification tank 20, and a plate and frame filter press 5. A first pump 7 is provided between the main reaction tank 1 and the deacidification tank 20. The fluoride-containing wastewater generated by the fluoride production line is discharged into the deacidification tank for temporary storage and neutralization, so that the acidity and alkalinity of the wastewater reach the optimal defluorination conditions. The fluoride-containing wastewater in the deacidification tank 20 is pumped into the main reaction tank 1 through the first pump 7. The bottom outlet of the main reaction tank 1 is connected to a second pump 8. The reaction liquid in the main reaction tank 1 is pumped into the plate and frame filter press 5 through the second pump 8 for solid-liquid separation.
[0020] Secondly, the main reaction tank 1 is connected to the third pump 9 at the top water inlet. The main reaction tank 1 is equipped with a three-dimensional tank cleaner 17. After the tap water is pressurized by the third pump 9 and pumped into the main reaction tank 1, the three-dimensional tank cleaner 17 completes the cleaning of the inner surface of the tank.
[0021] In this embodiment, the top of the main reaction tank 1 is provided with a flocculant dosing port 16, a coagulant dosing port 15, a fluoride-containing wastewater inlet 19, and a tap water inlet 14, and a pipeline mixer 6 is provided at the fluoride-containing wastewater inlet.
[0022] Furthermore, the lining material of the main reaction tank 1 is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE is an ideal material resistant to fluorine corrosion, has the best aging life among plastics, and does not easily adhere to other substances. Using this material as the lining can also reduce scaling inside the tank. A hinged flip-top observation window 18 is installed on the top of the main reaction tank 1 for easy observation of the liquid inside. An online fluoride ion detector is installed at the filtrate discharge port of the plate and frame filter press 5. The online fluoride ion detector reflects the actual defluorination status of the fluoride-containing wastewater by detecting the fluoride content in the filtrate. The detection results can be used to determine whether the dosage of defluorinating agent needs to be increased or decreased.
[0023] In this embodiment, each of the defluorinating agent dosing tank 2, the coagulant dosing tank 3, and the flocculant dosing tank 4 is equipped with a liquid level alarm 12, which can promptly remind the staff to replenish various chemicals. A flow regulator 11 is also installed on the discharge pipe at the bottom of the defluorinating agent dosing tank 2, the coagulant dosing tank 3, and the flocculant dosing tank 4. A liquid level sensor 10 is installed in the main reaction tank 1.
[0024] In addition, the main reaction tank 1, the defluorinating agent dosing tank 2, the coagulant dosing tank 3, and the flocculant dosing tank 4 are all equipped with stirring devices 13, which can fully stir the liquids in the main reaction tank 1, the defluorinating agent dosing tank 2, the coagulant dosing tank 3, and the flocculant dosing tank 4.
[0025] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0026] Step 1: The first pump 7 is turned on to pump wastewater from the deacidification tank into the main reaction tank 1. The dosing switches for the defluoridating agent, coagulant, and flocculant are turned on simultaneously with the first pump 7. During the wastewater transport process, the defluoridating agent is mixed with the fluoride-containing wastewater through the pipeline mixer 6. The dosage of the defluoridating agent is adjusted based on the actual defluoridation effect. The coagulant and flocculant are added at a constant rate as the wastewater enters the main reaction tank 1, and the dosage can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0027] Step 2: When the liquid level in the main reaction tank 1 reaches the preset height, the second pump 8 is turned on to transport the fluoride-containing wastewater to the downstream filter press 5 for solid-liquid separation. Under normal conditions, the inflow and outflow of the main reaction tank 1 are kept in dynamic balance, and the liquid level in the main reaction tank 1 is within a safe range.
[0028] When the plate and frame filter press 5 is running close to full load, the liquid level in the main reaction tank 1 rises. When it reaches the warning position, the central control program controls the shutdown of the first pump 7, the second pump 8, and the dosing switches for defluorinating agent, coagulant, and flocculant, stopping the delivery of fluoride-containing waste liquid into the main reaction tank 1 until the plate and frame filter press 5 finishes unloading. It is worth noting that in order to prevent the outlet of the main reaction tank 1 from being blocked, the stirring device 13 in the main reaction tank 1 is always kept on.
[0029] Step 3: After the plate and frame filter press 5 has finished unloading, first turn on the second pump 8 until the liquid level in the main reaction tank 1 drops to the safe level, then turn on the first pump 7 and the dosing switches for defluorinating agent, coagulant, and flocculant to continue defluorination.
[0030] Step 4: After the fluoride-containing wastewater is treated, stop pumping the wastewater and all reagents into the main reaction tank 1. Once the liquid level in the main reaction tank 1 drops to the low level, start the third pump 9 to clean the main reaction tank 1 to prevent residual fluoride-containing wastewater from corroding the instruments and pipes inside the main reaction tank 1.
