Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicon carbide membrane filtration technology, and in particular to a chemical-free self-flocculating silicon carbide membrane filtration device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional chemical flocculation technology involves adding chemical flocculants (such as polyaluminum chloride (PAC) and polyacrylamide (PAM)) to water. The flocs are formed by the neutralization and adsorption bridging effects of these agents, causing suspended solids and colloidal particles to aggregate and form flocs, which are then removed by sedimentation or flotation in subsequent filtration equipment. This process has some drawbacks and disadvantages, such as:
[0003] 1. High consumption of chemicals and risk of secondary pollution. Continuous addition of chemical agents is required, resulting in high long-term operating costs, and chemical residues may affect the quality of the effluent (such as the potential health risks posed by aluminum salt residues).
[0004] 2. The amount of sludge produced is relatively large (the chemicals themselves participate in the sedimentation). This increases sludge treatment costs (such as dewatering and landfill fees).
[0005] 3. Sensitive to water quality fluctuations. Significantly affected by water temperature, pH, and suspended solids concentration: flocculation efficiency decreases at low temperatures, and pH needs to be adjusted to a specific range (e.g., the optimal pH for PAC is 6-8). Sudden changes in water quality (such as a sharp increase in pollutant concentration) necessitate readjustment of the dosage, resulting in poor flexibility.
[0006] 4. Low level of automation and high degree of manual intervention. Manual monitoring of water quality and adjustment of chemical dosage are required, making it difficult to achieve full-process automated control and resulting in high labor costs.
[0007] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0032] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a drug-free self-flocculating silicon carbide membrane filtration device, comprising: a fixed base 1, on which a reaction mechanism and a product water tank 30 are provided; the reaction mechanism includes a reaction pool 2 fixed on the fixed base 1, a ladder 3 on one side of the reaction pool 2, a power supply 4 at one end of the reaction pool 2, an electrode 5 connected to the power supply 4, a control box 6 on one side of the reaction pool 2, a membrane box assembly 7 inside the reaction pool 2, a drive assembly outside the reaction pool 2 adjacent to the membrane box assembly 7, a sludge scraping assembly at the top of the reaction pool 2, and several sets of first discharge pipes 8 at the bottom of the reaction pool 2.
[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 Preferably, the driving assembly of this utility model includes a permeate pump 9 located outside the reaction tank 2 and connected to the fixed base 1. The permeate pump 9 is provided with a first pipe 10 connected to the membrane tank assembly 7. A backwash pump 11 connected to the fixed base 1 is provided on one side of the permeate pump 9. A second pipe 12 connected to the membrane tank assembly 7 is provided on the backwash pump 11. An aeration fan 13 connected to the fixed base 1 is provided on one side of the backwash pump 11. A third pipe 14 connected to the membrane tank assembly 7 is provided on the aeration fan 13. The permeate pump 9 collects the permeate water. The aeration fan 13 generates a certain amount of disturbance to prevent fouling of the membrane tank assembly 7, making the mixing more uniform and thorough. The backwash pump 11 can backwash and clean the membrane tank assembly 7 to avoid fouling.
[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 In addition, the water production pump 9 of this utility model is provided with a UV sterilization device 15 on the side away from the backwash pump 11. The UV sterilization device 15 is connected to the water production tank 30 through a fourth pipe 16, and the fourth pipe 16 is connected to the first pipe 10. The UV sterilization device 15 can further sterilize and disinfect the filtered water, thereby improving water quality and safety.
[0035] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the sludge scraping assembly of this utility model includes a drive motor 17 disposed at the top of the reaction tank 2. The output end of the drive motor 17 is provided with an output shaft 18. A first connecting belt 19 is sleeved on the outside of the output shaft 18. A first driven shaft 20 is disposed inside the first connecting belt 19. The first driven shaft 20 is disposed at the top of the reaction tank 2. The drive motor 17 drives the output shaft 18 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting belt 19 and the first driven shaft 20 to rotate.
[0036] See Figure 3 Furthermore, a second driven shaft 23 is provided on one side of the first driven shaft 20 of this utility model. Two sets of rollers 21 are fixed on both the first driven shaft 20 and the second driven shaft 23. The two sets of rollers 21 are connected by a second connecting belt 22. The rotation of the first driven shaft 20 drives the rollers 21 and the second driven shaft 23 to move synchronously under the action of the second connecting belt 22.
[0037] See Figure 3Meanwhile, the bottom of the first driven shaft 20 and the second driven shaft 23 of this utility model are both connected to the top of the reaction tank 2 through a support base 24, which facilitates the rotation of the first driven shaft 20 and the second driven shaft 23.
[0038] See Figure 3 Even better, the second connecting belt 22 of this utility model is provided with a retractable scraper 25 located inside the reaction tank 2. Below the first driven shaft 20, there is a groove 27 located inside the reaction tank 2. At the end of the groove 27 away from the first driven shaft 20, there is an inclined plate 26. The top surface of the inclined plate 26 abuts against the bottom surface of the scraper 25. The scraper 25 is moved by the second connecting belt 22. During the movement, the scraper 25 can abut against the inclined plate 26. At the same time, since the scraper 25 is retractable, the scraper 25 will adapt to the inclined trajectory of the inclined plate 26, so that the scraper 25 scrapes the flocculated impurities into the groove 27 for discharge.
[0039] See Figure 3 Finally, the groove 27 of this utility model is provided with an outlet 28 on one side, and a second discharge pipe 29 is connected to the outlet 28 to facilitate the discharge of impurities.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model:
[0041] External personnel add raw water to reaction tank 2 via gravity flow or pumping. After adjusting the influent flow rate, power supply 4 is turned on, energizing electrode 5. As the raw water flows through electrode 5, the current causes tiny impurities in the water to flocculate and float or settle. The water is then discharged from reaction tank 2 to the outside via the first discharge pipe 8 at the bottom of the tank or the second discharge pipe 29 in the top sludge scraper. The clarified raw water overflows to the rear membrane tank group 7. Once the water level in membrane tank group 7 reaches a certain height, aeration fan 13 is started. When the water level in membrane tank group 7 reaches a further certain height, permeate pump 9 is started. Driven by permeate pump 9, the permeate is discharged and sterilized by UV sterilization device 15 before entering permeate tank 30 for reuse. After running for a certain period, clean water is pumped back into membrane tank group 7 via backwash pump 11 to backwash the membrane modules. Control box 6 is the central control component of the entire system, allowing for real-time online adjustment of parameters such as running time and backwash time.
[0042] This invention employs an electrocoagulation + SiC flat-plate ceramic membrane filtration process: The electrocoagulation system uses electricity instead of expensive chemical reagents, simultaneously removing heavy metals, suspended solids, emulsified organic matter, and various other pollutants from water. Electrocoagulation involves applying direct current to multiple steel plates, creating an electric field between them, which draws water into the gaps between the plates. In this electric field, some of the energized steel plates are consumed and enter the water. Ionic and non-ionic pollutants in the electric field are energized and react with the ionization products and the consumed steel plates. During this process, the interaction of various ions typically results in them combining in their most stable form to form solid particles, which precipitate out of the water. The flat-plate membrane operates submerged, using negative pressure suction to drive water flow from the outside in through the membrane layer. Tiny particles are blocked and intercepted by the membrane, achieving material separation and effectively removing suspended solids, algae, precipitated metal oxides, colloids, and some large molecular organic matter from the water. Furthermore, after biochemical substances are blocked, they adhere to the surface of the membrane layer to form a biofilter cake layer, thus realizing the function of a membrane bioreactor.
[0043] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
