Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a wastewater treatment method and a wastewater treatment device, and more particularly to a wastewater treatment method and a wastewater treatment device that can achieve the effects of reducing the amount of chemicals used, reducing the amount of sludge generated, and preventing an increase in chloride ion concentration. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional wastewater treatment technology uses hydrated lime and chlorine-based fluoride removal agents to remove fluoride, by injecting hydrated lime to maintain the pH above 8.5, and then using chlorine-based fluoride removal agents to neutralize the pH.
[0003] Slaked lime is a chemical whose solubility decreases as the pH increases, and the higher the pH is operated, the more excess slaked lime must be added to meet the target water quality.
[0004] In the conventional wastewater treatment technology, when wastewater contains fluorine and phosphorus, an excessive amount of slaked lime is added to effectively remove the fluorine and phosphorus.
[0005] Furthermore, conventional wastewater treatment processes are comprised of a primary coagulation and sedimentation process and a secondary coagulation and sedimentation process for removing fluorine, and the chemicals mainly used are hydrated lime and a chlorine-based fluoride remover.
[0006] However, when fluoride water quality standards are strengthened, conventional wastewater treatment technologies can achieve the target by increasing the amount of chemicals such as hydrated lime and fluoride removers, but this has side effects such as increased chemical usage, increased chloride ion concentration, increased sludge generation, and decreased sedimentation. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0030] Hereinafter, a method for treating wastewater according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0031] In this specification, the unit "ppm (parts per million)" means mg / L.
[0032] In addition, in this specification, the term "front end or front end portion" means a portion or end portion located relatively in the opposite direction to the flow direction of wastewater, and the term "rear end or rear end portion" means a portion or end portion located relatively in the forward direction of the flow direction of wastewater.
[0033] A wastewater treatment method and apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention can remove fluorine, phosphorus, suspended solids (SS), organic matter, particulate matter, and ionic matter from wastewater.
[0034] A wastewater treatment method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first coagulation-sedimentation process and a second coagulation-sedimentation process that are carried out consecutively.
[0035] The first coagulation and sedimentation process also includes a step (S10-2) of passing wastewater containing at least fluorine and phosphorus through a first coagulation reaction tank to produce primary treated water, a step (S10-4) of passing the primary treated water through a third coagulation reaction tank to produce tertiary treated water, a step (S10-6) of passing the tertiary treated water through a fourth coagulation reaction tank to produce quaternary treated water, and a step (S10-8) of passing the quaternary treated water through a first settling tank to produce quinary treated water and sludge.
[0036] A first chemical may be added to the first flocculation reactor.
[0037] The first chemical also includes hydrated lime.
[0038] The pH of the first coagulation reaction tank may be adjusted to a range of 3.5 to 6.0. When the pH of the first coagulation reaction tank is within this range, not only can high-quality treated water having low fluorine, phosphorus, and chloride ion concentrations be obtained, but also the amount of sludge generated can be reduced.

[0040] The second chemical also includes a chlorine-based fluoride remover.
[0041] The chlorine-based fluoride remover also includes aluminum chloride (AlCl3).
[0042] The pH of the third coagulation reactor may be adjusted to a range of 7.0±0.5. If the pH of the third coagulation reactor is within this range, not only can high-quality treated water with low fluorine, phosphorus, and chloride ion concentrations be obtained, but also the amount of sludge generation can be reduced.
[0043] In addition, the concentration of the second chemical in the third coagulation reactor may be adjusted to 800 to 1,700 ppm. If the concentration of the second chemical in the third coagulation reactor is within this range, not only can high-quality treated water having low fluorine, phosphorus, and chloride ion concentrations be obtained, but also the amount of sludge generation can be reduced.

In this case, step (S10-4) also includes passing the secondary effluent, instead of the primary effluent, through the third flocculation reactor to produce tertiary effluent. For example, the wastewater treatment method includes step (S10-3) when the wastewater contains hydrogen peroxide, but does not include step (S10-3) when the wastewater does not contain hydrogen peroxide or contains a negligible amount of hydrogen peroxide.

[0053] The alkaline fluoride remover also contains sodium aluminate (NaAlO2).
[0054] The pH of the fifth coagulation reactor may be adjusted to a range of 6.5 to 7.5. When the pH of the fifth coagulation reactor is within this range, not only can high-quality treated water with low fluorine, phosphorus, and chloride ion concentrations be obtained, but also the amount of sludge generated can be reduced.
[0055] In addition, the concentration of the fourth chemical in the fifth coagulation reactor may be adjusted to 850 to 2,000 ppm. If the concentration of the fourth chemical in the fifth coagulation reactor is within this range, not only can high-quality treated water with low fluorine, phosphorus, and chloride ion concentrations be obtained, but also the amount of sludge generation can be reduced.
[0056] The third chemical may be added to the seventh flocculation reactor.
[0057] The concentration of the third chemical in the seventh coagulation reactor may be adjusted to a range of 3.0±0.5 ppm. If the concentration of the third chemical in the seventh coagulation reactor is within this range, not only can high-quality treated water with low fluorine, phosphorus, and chloride ion concentrations be obtained, but also the amount of sludge generation can be reduced.
[0058] The wastewater treatment method may further include a step (S20-3) between steps (S20-2) and (S20-4) of passing the sixth effluent through a sixth flocculation reactor to produce seventh effluent. In this case, step (S20-4) is also a step of passing the seventh effluent, instead of the sixth effluent, through the seventh flocculation reactor to produce eighth effluent.
