Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical production equipment technology, specifically relating to a wastewater treatment device for silicone sealant production. Background Technology

Sodium sulfide supply tank. Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a wastewater treatment device for silicone sealant production includes an equalization tank 1, a coagulation reaction tank 2, an air flotation unit 3, a Fenton oxidation tank 4, a hydrolysis acidification tank 5, an MBR membrane bioreactor 6, and a sedimentation tank 7, which are connected in sequence via pipes (not shown), valves (not shown), and pumps (not shown). The outlet of the equalization tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the coagulation reaction tank 2, the outlet of the coagulation reaction tank 2 is connected to the inlet of the air flotation unit 3, the outlet of the air flotation unit 3 is connected to the inlet of the Fenton oxidation tank 4, the outlet of the Fenton oxidation tank 4 is connected to the inlet of the hydrolysis acidification tank 5, the outlet of the hydrolysis acidification tank 5 is connected to the inlet of the MBR membrane bioreactor 6, and the outlet of the MBR membrane bioreactor 6 is connected to the inlet of the sedimentation tank 7.
[0021] A screen 8 is installed at the inlet of the equalization tank 1. A sodium hydroxide supply tank 9 and a dilute sulfuric acid supply tank 10 are installed above the equalization tank 1. A polyaluminum chloride supply tank 11 and a polyacrylamide supply tank 12 are installed above the coagulation reaction tank 2. A sodium sulfide supply tank 13 is installed above the sedimentation tank 7.
[0022] In actual treatment, wastewater generated from each process in production is first transported to equalization tank 1 through collection pipelines. Larger solids are intercepted by a screen 8 installed at the inlet of equalization tank 1. Then, acid or alkali is added to equalization tank 1 to adjust the pH value to around 7. The wastewater is then transported to coagulation reaction tank 2 where polyaluminum chloride and polyacrylamide are added to coagulate and remove colloids and suspended solids. The wastewater is then transported to dissolved air flotation (DAF) machine 3 to treat emulsified oil or silicone oil in the wastewater. It is then transported to Fenton oxidation tank 4 to degrade recalcitrant organosilicon and VOCs in the wastewater. The wastewater is then decomposed into smaller molecules in hydrolysis acidification tank 5. Biodegradable organic matter (such as alcohols and low-molecular-weight silicon compounds) is removed in MBR membrane bioreactor 6. Finally, heavy metals are precipitated in sedimentation tank 7 (inclined plate sedimentation tank), thus completing the wastewater treatment process. The water flowing out of sedimentation tank 7 meets national discharge standards and can be connected to the underground drainage network for discharge. It is important to note during the treatment process that the Fenton sludge and heavy metal sludge are classified as hazardous waste (HW17 / HW22), and these sludges must be disposed of by a qualified unit.
