Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mine water filtration equipment, specifically to a combined membrane filtration system suitable for high-turbidity mine water. Background Technology

[0002] Coal mining, as an underground production activity, inevitably causes localized damage and pollution to underground aquifers. Therefore, a large amount of suspended solids often exist on the surface of mine water. These suspended solids are characterized by small particle size, low specific gravity, slow settling velocity, and poor coagulation effect. They also contain organic pollutants such as waste engine oil and emulsified oil.

[0003] For high-turbidity mine water, if traditional ultrafiltration treatment is used, the upstream of ultrafiltration needs to have processes such as coagulation sedimentation and multi-media filtration, which not only has a long process flow and low treatment efficiency, but also high overall energy consumption.

[0043] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0044] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-7 This utility model discloses a combined membrane filtration system suitable for high turbidity mine water, which is mainly used to treat sewage in coal mining areas, thereby reducing the harm of mine sewage to the natural environment and facilitating resource recycling.

[0045] This utility model discloses a combined membrane filtration system suitable for high-turbidity mine water, comprising a wastewater cleaning device 1, a series filter 3, a membrane reaction vessel 5, and a sludge cone 7. Untreated raw water is stored in an equalization tank. An inlet pump a4 draws raw water and injects it into the series filter 3. The wastewater cleaning device 1 is installed on top of the series filter 3 to remove dirt from its surface and prevent sludge blockage. It also discharges wastewater and pre-treats it using the series filter 3 to remove large suspended solids and insoluble impurities. During operation, raw water enters the series filter 3 through the inlet pipe 6 installed on top of the wastewater cleaning device 1. Large suspended solids are intercepted and discharged into a sludge tank through the wastewater discharge pipe 2 at the bottom of the series filter 3. The wastewater discharge pipe 2 has at least one valve to prevent raw water leakage. Meanwhile, the pre-treated raw water, with a suspended solids concentration reduced by approximately 85%, enters the membrane reaction vessel 5 through the filter outlet 10 on the side of the series filter 3. Inside the membrane reaction vessel 5, an ultrafiltration membrane frame 9 is installed, and an aeration disc 4 is installed below the ultrafiltration membrane frame 9. The membrane reaction vessel 5 is connected to a backwashing device 8. The backwashing device 8 can be used to backwash the membrane reaction vessel 5, thereby keeping the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane frame 9 clean. At the same time, during the backwashing process, the aeration disc 4 will intermittently flush the membrane frame with air bubbles to prevent suspended particles from clogging the membrane pores.

[0046] In addition, a sludge cone 7 is provided at the bottom of the membrane reaction vessel 5, and the sludge deposited in the sludge cone 7 is discharged through the drain valve 73.

[0047] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the series filter 3 includes a filter barrel 31, a series filter element 32, and a central hole 34. The outer side of the filter barrel 31 is connected to the water inlet pipe 6 so that raw water enters the series filter element 32 inside the filter barrel 31. It should be noted that the series filter element 32 is provided with a primary filter screen 33 and a secondary filter screen 35. The primary filter screen 33 is located in the middle of the series filter element 32, and the secondary filter screen 35 is located in the lower part of the series filter element 32. Furthermore, a central hole 34 is provided along the axis of the series filter element 32, penetrating the interior of the series filter element 32 and communicating with the sewage pipe 2. In this embodiment, the primary sewage inlet is connected to the interior of the primary filter screen. The pore size of the primary filter screen is greater than 50 μm, while the pore size of the secondary filter screen is less than 50 μm. Thus, raw water enters the filter barrel 31 through the primary filter screen 33 and the secondary filter screen 35, thereby filtering out coal slag or solid particles from the raw water through the series two-stage filtration structure.

[0048] In some embodiments, the sewage cleaning device 1 includes a cover 11, a hollow main shaft 13, and a split steel brush 14. A power unit 12 is mounted on the top of the cover 11, which is sealed to the top of the series filter 3 to prevent sewage leakage. The power unit 12 is coaxially connected to the hollow main shaft 13, and the split steel brush 14 is located on the side of the hollow main shaft 13. The power unit 12 drives the hollow main shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the split steel brush 14 to rotate, thereby removing dirt attached to the primary filter screen 33 and the secondary filter screen 35. Furthermore, the split steel brush 14 contains two drain ports 15, which are connected to the sewage pipe 2 via the hollow main shaft 13, corresponding to the primary filter screen 33 and the secondary filter screen 35. Dirt or solid particles from the primary and secondary filters are discharged into the hollow main shaft 13 and then released into the sludge tank through the sewage pipe 2.

[0049] In some embodiments, since an ultrafiltration membrane frame 9 is provided inside the membrane reaction vessel 5, the pretreated wastewater entering the membrane reaction vessel 5 will enter the ultrafiltration membrane frame 9 from the outside to the inside. In this embodiment, a dosing pump a3 is also provided on the outside of the membrane reaction vessel 5. The dosing pump a3 is used to periodically add membrane cleaning agent into the membrane reaction vessel 5. The cleaning agent is mainly an acidic liquid such as citric acid, which is mainly used to dissolve the residual dirt on the composite ultrafiltration membrane 92, thereby keeping the membrane pores unobstructed.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 5The ultrafiltration membrane module 9 includes a hanger 91, a composite ultrafiltration membrane 92, and a base 93. The hanger 91 is installed inside the membrane reaction vessel 5 and supported by the base 93. The composite ultrafiltration membrane 92 is hung below the hanger 91. The composite ultrafiltration membrane 92 is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, TiO2, etc., in a specific ratio. Testing shows that the membrane has a porosity of approximately 85%, an average pore size of 0.01–0.2 μm, and a pure water flux of 400 L per hour. Compared to similar products on the market, this composite membrane features a high flux of the inner membrane and a rigid, wear-resistant outer membrane, making it particularly suitable for the direct filtration of high-turbidity water. Furthermore, the composite ultrafiltration membrane 92 is bag-shaped, and the opening of the composite ultrafiltration membrane 92 is connected to the drainage pipe 94. The upper end of the base 93 is also provided with a drainage pipe 94. The drainage pipe 94 passes through the center of the hanger 91 and is connected to the backwashing device 8. Wastewater passes from the outside to the inside of the membrane reaction vessel 5 through the composite ultrafiltration membrane 92. After filtering out harmful substances, it is discharged into the water purification tank through the drainage pipe 94 and the backwashing device 8.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 The hanging bracket 91 has a vortex-shaped design, which improves space utilization and allows for the placement of more composite ultrafiltration membranes 92. On the other hand, the backwashing device 8 includes a backwashing pump 81 and a three-way valve 82. A drain pipe 94 is connected to the three-way valve 82, and the backwashing pump 81 is installed on the three-way valve 82. When the backwashing pump 81 starts, it drains clean water through the three-way valve 82 into the drain pipe 94. During normal water purification, the backwashing pump 81 does not start, and the filtered water flows directly into the water purification tank through the three-way valve 82.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 The sludge cone 7 includes an air guide pipe 71, a cone-shaped hopper 72, and a drain valve 73. Structurally, since the bottom of the membrane reactor 5 is connected to the cone-shaped hopper 72, the sludge and derivatives deposited in the membrane reactor 5 can be discharged outward through the drain valve 73 located at the bottom of the cone-shaped hopper 72. Furthermore, an aeration disc 4 is also installed inside the cone-shaped hopper 72, positioned below the ultrafiltration membrane frame 9. An air guide pipe 71 is located on the side of the cone-shaped hopper 73, connected to the aeration disc 4. The aeration disc 4 is located inside the filter tank 31 and positioned below the ultrafiltration membrane frame 9. Thus, compressed air can be injected into the aeration disc 4 through the air guide pipe 71 using a blower a2. Aeration also continuously agitates the composite ultrafiltration membrane 92, preventing suspended particles from adhering to the surface of the membrane fibers and causing blockage.

[0053] In one specific embodiment disclosed in this utility model, such as Figure 7It also includes an electrical control box a1, which is a programmable logic controller (PLC). The electrical control box a1 is electrically connected to the blower a2, the dosing pump a3, and the inlet pump a4. The inlet pump a4 draws raw water from the equalization tank and inputs it into the series filter 3 through the inlet pipe 6. The blower a2 is connected to the aeration disc 4, and the dosing pump a3 is connected to the membrane reactor 5. Furthermore, the electrical control box a1 can be programmed to use timers and interrupts to coordinate and alternately operate with the blower a2, the dosing pump a3, and the inlet pump a4, thereby achieving automatic operation of the equipment.

[0054] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
