[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides a leather wastewater treatment system, including an anaerobic device 2. The bottom of the anaerobic device 2 is connected to the sewage source, and a stripping tank 3 is provided at the top of the anaerobic device 2. The stripping tank 3 is used to separate the gas and liquid in the anaerobic device 2. The gas outlet of the stripping tank 3 is connected to a deodorizing device, which is used to remove odors from the gas. An external circulation mechanism is also provided on the anaerobic device 2.

[0019] This invention completely removes odor-causing substances (sulfur-containing substances and proteins) from wastewater through the anaerobic device 2. The generated hydrogen sulfide and other odorous gases are mixed in the biogas and centrally treated by the deodorization device, without being released into the air, and no odor is generated within the sewage treatment plant area.

[0020] Furthermore, the anaerobic device 2 includes a tank, with an anaerobic device inlet 2.1 at the bottom of the tank. The anaerobic device inlet 2.1 is connected to the outlet of the inlet pump 1. The inlet of the inlet pump 1 is connected to the sewage tank through a pipeline. The anaerobic device outlet 2.2 is provided at the top of the tank and is connected to an external water tank through a pipeline.

[0021] Furthermore, the external circulation mechanism includes a circulation pump 4, an anaerobic device external circulation outlet 2.5 is provided at the upper part of the tank, the anaerobic device external circulation outlet 2.5 is connected to the outlet end of the circulation pump 4 through a pipeline, and an anaerobic device external circulation inlet 2.6 is provided at the lower part of the tank, the anaerobic device external circulation inlet 2.6 is connected to the inlet end of the circulation pump 4 through a pipeline.

[0022] The circulating pump 4 drives the wastewater to be drawn from the external circulation inlet 2.6 of the anaerobic device at the bottom of the tank to the external circulation outlet 2.5 of the anaerobic device at the top, forming a forced circulation. This significantly increases the hydraulic upflow velocity in the reactor, eliminates dead zones, ensures full contact between the wastewater and microorganisms, improves mass transfer efficiency, and promotes the degradation of organic matter.

[0023] Furthermore, the bottom of the stripping tank 3 is provided with an anaerobic device reflux port 2.3, which is connected to the reflux pipe in the anaerobic device 2. Both sides of the stripping tank 3 are provided with stripping tank inlets 3.1, and the top of the tank is provided with two anaerobic device gas producing ports 2.7, which are corresponding to and connected to the two stripping tank inlets 3.1. The top of the stripping tank 3 is provided with a stripping tank outlet 3.3, which is connected to the deodorization device.

[0024] Furthermore, the deodorization device is a desulfurization device 5. The lower part of the desulfurization device 5 is provided with a desulfurization device inlet 5.1, which is connected to the outlet 3.3 of the stripping tank through a pipe. The top of the desulfurization device 5 is provided with a desulfurization device outlet 5.2. The lower part of the tank is provided with an anaerobic device gas stripping inlet 2.4, which is located above the anaerobic device water inlet 2.1. The desulfurization device outlet 5.2 is connected to the anaerobic device gas stripping inlet 2.4 through a gas pipe. Furthermore, a biogas blower 6 is provided on the gas pipe.

[0025] After gas-liquid separation, the biogas escapes from the stripping tank outlet 3.3 and enters the desulfurization unit inlet 5.1 of the desulfurization unit 5 for biogas desulfurization. The desulfurized biogas exits from the desulfurization unit outlet 5.2, is pressurized by the biogas blower 6, and then flows back to the anaerobic unit gas stripping inlet 2.4 to enter the anaerobic unit 2. The biogas is dispersed through the biogas stripping perforated pipe in the anaerobic unit 2 to strip off the volatile toxic substance hydrogen sulfide produced during the anaerobic reaction, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the anaerobic system.

[0026] The leather wastewater treatment system provided by this utility model works as follows: Leather wastewater in the sewage tank is pumped to the anaerobic device 2 by the inlet lift pump 1 and mixed with high concentrations of anaerobic microorganisms. The wastewater is degraded to produce biogas, hydrogen sulfide, and sludge, which are then initially separated by a three-phase separator inside the anaerobic device 2. During the ascent, carbon dioxide and methane in the biogas can carry volatile toxic substances (such as hydrogen sulfide and some volatile fatty acids) from the liquid phase into the gas phase through the "stripping effect". During the ascent, the biogas forms a bubble aggregate, which generates strong buoyancy and drives the sludge and wastewater to the top of the anaerobic device 2 and through the stripping tank inlet 3. 1. The sludge and wastewater enter the stripping tank 3 for efficient gas-liquid separation. Due to the density difference, the sludge and wastewater flow back to the bottom of the anaerobic device 2 along the return pipe. The biogas separated during the gas-liquid separation process enters the desulfurization device 5 for desulfurization. The hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is adsorbed by iron oxide material. The hydrogen sulfide is converted into sulfate by alkaline solution (such as NaOH) or oxidant (such as FeCl3). Then, the biogas blower 6 pressurizes and flows back to the anaerobic device 2. The physical properties (such as buoyancy and stirring) and chemical properties (such as stripping of toxic substances) of biogas are used to improve the stability and efficiency of the anaerobic device 2. After treatment, the wastewater is discharged through the anaerobic device outlet 2.2.
