Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste liquid flotation recovery technology, specifically to a water-based polyurethane waste liquid flotation recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] Waterborne polyurethane materials are widely used in coatings, adhesives, leather processing and other fields due to their combination of environmental protection and functionality. However, the waste liquid generated during the production process contains unreacted polyurethane resin, solvents and additives. Direct discharge of such waste liquid would lead to resource waste and environmental pollution.

[0003] In existing technologies, air flotation, as a solid-liquid separation technology, achieves recovery by injecting microbubbles into the waste liquid to allow polyurethane particles to adhere and float. However, conventional air flotation devices have the following technical bottlenecks: First, the large bubble size results in low adhesion efficiency with micron-sized polyurethane particles, leading to insufficient recovery rates; second, the dissolved air system has high energy consumption and poor bubble stability, making it prone to coalescence and breakage; third, the high moisture content of the scum during the scum scraping process leads to high costs for subsequent dewatering treatment.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] This utility model embodiment provides an aqueous polyurethane waste liquid air flotation recovery device, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the device includes a recycling device housing 101. Inside the recycling device housing 101, there is a waste liquid filtration chamber 108 with an outward opening. A diffuser 109 is fixedly installed at the center of the waste liquid filtration chamber 108. Several bubble generators 120 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the diffuser 109. The bubble generators 120 are arranged in a vortex shape. Input pipes 114 are connected to both sides of the bottom of the diffuser 109. The other end of the input pipe 114 passes through one side wall of the recycling device housing 101 and extends outward. Two arc-shaped supports 117 are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the recycling device housing 101. The arc-shaped supports 117 on both sides are close to each other and rotatably connected to a drive shaft 106 on one side. Rotating sleeves 105 are fixedly connected to the outer end faces of the drive shafts 106 on both sides. Several arrayed connecting rods 110 are fixedly installed on the outer end faces of the rotating sleeves 105. Waste liquid push plates 104 are inserted between the connecting rods 110 in the same row.

[0029] It should be further noted that the bubble generator 120 is used to generate microbubbles.

[0030] Furthermore, a drive motor 107 is fixedly mounted on the top of the arc-shaped bracket 117 on one side, and the drive motor 107 is poweredly connected to the drive shaft 106.

[0031] It is worth further explaining that when the drive motor 107 starts, it can drive the drive shaft 106 to rotate through the power connection, which in turn can drive the rotating sleeve 105 to rotate through the transmission, which in turn drives the connecting rods 110 on each side to rotate, and further drives the waste liquid push plate 104 to rotate.

[0032] Furthermore, two inclined waste liquid guide plates 102 are fixedly provided on both sides of the outer end face of the outer shell 101 of the recycling device. The inclined waste liquid guide plates 102 on both sides are symmetrically arranged and are located below the rotating sleeve 105.

[0033] Furthermore, the inclined waste liquid guide plate 102 is provided with an inclined groove 103 with an outward opening, and the inclined groove 103 is connected to the top of the waste liquid filter chamber 108.

[0034] Furthermore, two arc-shaped and inclined arc-shaped guide plates 121 are fixedly provided on both sides of the inner wall of the waste liquid filtration chamber 108, and the arc-shaped guide plates 121 on both sides are symmetrically arranged.

[0035] It should be further explained that the inclined trough 103 serves to guide the waste liquid output. When the rotating sleeve 105 is driven to rotate, it can rotate through the waste liquid push plate 104 and push the waste liquid to the inclined trough 103 for output.

[0036] Furthermore, two waste liquid input devices 115 are fixedly provided on both sides of the outer end face of the outer shell 101 of the recycling device, and the waste liquid input devices 115 on both sides are symmetrically arranged.

[0037] Furthermore, the waste liquid input device 115 is provided with an outward-facing primary filter tank 111, and a primary filter plate 112 is installed in the primary filter tank 111. The other side of the input pipe 114 is installed and connected to the bottom of the waste liquid input device 115 and communicates with the bottom of the primary filter tank 111.

[0038] Furthermore, a waste liquid input pipe 113 is connected to one side of the top of the waste liquid input device 115.

[0039] It should be further noted that the waste liquid inlet pipe 113 is connected to the inlet pipe of the water-based polyurethane waste liquid.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottom of the waste liquid filtration chamber 108 is connected to two clean water pipes 116, which are symmetrically arranged and used to output the filtered clean water.

[0041] Furthermore, a filter sleeve 118 is installed at the bottom of the waste liquid filtration chamber 108 and outside the opening of the clean water pipe 116, and a secondary filter plate 119 is installed at the top of the filter sleeve 118.

[0042] It should be further explained that the secondary filter plate 119 provides a further output filtration effect.

[0043] The usage method of this solution is as follows:

[0044] S1. The water-based polyurethane waste liquid is injected into the waste liquid inlet 115 through the waste liquid inlet pipe 113. The waste liquid first enters the primary filter tank 111.

[0045] After initial filtration by the primary filter plate 112 to remove large particulate impurities, the pretreated waste liquid enters the bottom of the diffuser 109 through the input pipe 114.

[0046] S2. Start the bubble generator 120 to generate a large number of micron-sized bubbles in the diffuser tube 109;

[0047] Because the bubble generator 120 is vortex-shaped, the bubble group forms a rotating upward flow field in the diffuser 109, allowing the microbubbles to fully collide and adhere with the polyurethane particles in the waste liquid.

[0048] The flared structure of the diffuser 109 reduces the fluid velocity, prolongs the gas-solid contact time, and significantly improves particle capture efficiency.

[0049] S3. The bubbles of the adhering particles float to the top of the waste liquid filtration chamber 108, forming a high-concentration scum layer;

[0050] Start the drive motor 107, which drives the rotating sleeve 105 to rotate via the drive shaft 106, and the waste liquid push plate 104 fixed on the connecting rod 110 rotates accordingly.

[0051] The pusher plate 104 pushes the scum layer outward along the inclined surface of the arc-shaped guide plate 121, squeezing the scum and reducing its moisture content in the process.

[0052] S4. The scum after being squeezed and dehydrated is pushed into the inclined trough 103 by the waste liquid pusher plate 104, and slides out of the device along the inclined waste liquid guide plate 102 to realize the recovery of dry scum.

[0053] After the scum is separated, the clear water sinks to the bottom of the waste liquid filtration chamber 108, and then undergoes fine filtration through the secondary filter plate 119 and the filter sleeve 118 in sequence. Finally, it is discharged through the clear water pipe 116, meeting the reuse standard.

[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
