Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a water treatment device, specifically a three-stage defluoridation device. Background Technology

[0002] Fluoride, a common pollutant in industrial wastewater, poses a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health if discharged in excess. Traditional defluorination processes often employ single-stage chemical precipitation, using calcium and aluminum salts to form fluoride precipitates. However, this method suffers from problems such as high reagent consumption, low precipitation efficiency, and large fluctuations in effluent fluoride concentration. Especially for high-concentration fluoride wastewater (>100 mg / L), single-stage treatment often fails to meet national discharge standards (<10 mg / L). While multi-stage series treatment devices exist in current technologies, they generally suffer from inaccurate reagent dosing timing, leading to reagent waste and reduced flocculation effectiveness; and poor coordination between precipitation and reaction units. Particularly when treating high-concentration fluoride wastewater, traditional devices suffer from initial stage overload. When the initial fluoride concentration exceeds 500 mg / L, single-stage treatment often results in precipitate encapsulation, trapping unreacted fluoride ions within the precipitate and hindering further reaction. In addition, existing tertiary treatment equipment generally suffers from problems such as large footprint and uneven distribution of hydraulic retention time, resulting in high energy consumption and low treatment efficiency.

[0035] Each reaction tank is equipped with a dosing pump and a flow meter to facilitate precise control of the dosage.

[0036] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0037] Primary defluorination unit treatment stage:

[0038] Initial feed: Fluoride-containing wastewater is quantitatively transported from the treatment liquid collection tank to the first-stage reaction tank (pH adjustment tank) via a peristaltic pump. The wastewater is adjusted to a preset pH range (usually 6.5-7.5) by a pH sensor and an automatic acid / alkali addition system to optimize subsequent reaction conditions.

[0039] Overflow transfer: The regulated wastewater overflows into the first-stage second reaction tank (fluoride removal agent dosing tank), where calcium or aluminum salt fluoride removal agents (such as CaO, CaCl2 or Al2(SO4)3) are added. The mixture is forced to form fluoride precipitate nuclei by a stirrer.

[0040] Cascade reaction: The mixed liquor flows from the bottom of the first-stage second reaction tank into the first-stage third reaction tank (PAC reagent addition tank), where polyaluminum chloride (PAC) is added to promote the coagulation of micro flocs; then it overflows into the first-stage fourth reaction tank (PAM reagent addition tank), where polyacrylamide (PAM) is added to enhance the floc bridging effect and form large floc particles.

[0041] Sedimentation and separation: The flocculated mixture enters the first-stage defluorination sedimentation tank from the bottom of the fourth reaction tank of the first stage. Solid-liquid separation is achieved through inclined plate sedimentation technology. The supernatant overflows into the first reaction tank of the second stage, and the bottom sediment is periodically discharged through the sludge discharge valve.

[0042] Secondary defluorination unit treatment stage:

[0043] Secondary reaction enhancement: The supernatant from the primary sedimentation tank enters the secondary first reaction tank, where the pH is finely adjusted (usually to 7.0-7.8) and a defluorinating agent is added to further reduce the concentration of residual fluoride ions.

[0044] Circulating dosing: The mixed liquid from the first reaction tank of the secondary stage enters the second reaction tank of the secondary stage (PAC dosing tank) through the bottom overflow port, and PAC is added again to enhance the flocculation effect; then it overflows to the third reaction tank of the secondary stage (PAM dosing tank) to form dense flocs.

[0045] Synergistic sedimentation: The mixed liquid from the secondary and third reaction tanks enters the secondary defluorination sedimentation tank through the bottom overflow port. A guide tube is installed in the sedimentation tank to extend the hydraulic residence time and enhance the settling of fine particles. The supernatant overflows to the tertiary first reaction tank.

[0046] Three-stage defluorination unit treatment phase:

[0047] Advanced treatment: The supernatant from the secondary sedimentation tank enters the tertiary first reaction tank for final pH adjustment (7.5-8.0) and addition of a high-efficiency defluorinating agent to deeply remove residual fluoride ions (<10mg / L).

[0048] High-efficiency flocculation: The mixed liquor flows sequentially through the third-stage second reaction tank (PAC addition tank) and the third-stage third reaction tank (PAM addition tank), and the flocs are compacted by step-by-step stirring intensity control (gradually reducing the speed).

[0049] Final separation: The mixed liquid from the third reaction tank of the three stages enters the third defluoridation sedimentation tank through the bottom outlet. The shallow sedimentation design accelerates the separation of mud and water, and the final effluent fluoride concentration is reduced to below 2 mg / L, meeting the discharge standards.

[0050] During implementation, the system can be coordinated and controlled:

[0051] Dynamic feedback: Each pH adjustment tank is equipped with an online monitoring instrument that links the peristaltic pump and the dosing pump in real time to ensure that the dosage of the chemicals is dynamically matched with water quality fluctuations.

[0052] Sludge recycling: Some of the sludge at the bottom of the tertiary sedimentation tank can be recycled back to the first primary reaction tank, utilizing unreacted reagents to improve resource utilization.

[0053] Continuous operation: Gravity flow is achieved through overflow weir and pipeline slope design, combined with precise metering by peristaltic pumps, ensuring balanced hydraulic load of the three-stage treatment units and forming a continuous treatment process.
