Solution Overview

Problem

Existing waste liquid treatment methods for body fluids require strict setting of stirring times based on blood concentrations, which is impractical and can lead to incomplete coagulation of blood, resulting in fine aggregates that cause filter clogging.

Innovation Solution

A waste liquid treatment composition comprising a solid flocculant with OH, NH, or FH groups and a solid compound with similar groups, allowing for efficient separation of waste liquids into supernatant and aggregate without strict stirring time settings, resulting in large, strong aggregates that reduce filter clogging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If strict stirring time settings are applied based on blood concentrations, then complete coagulation of blood can be achieved, but the process complexity and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the chemical parameters of the treatment composition by using a solid flocculant with specific functional groups (OH, NH, or FH groups) combined with a solid compound having similar groups. This chemical parameter change enables effective coagulation across different blood concentrations without requiring strict stirring time control, thus resolving the contradiction between coagulation completeness and process complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention employs a composite treatment composition consisting of a solid flocculant and a solid compound with complementary functional groups. This composite material system enhances the coagulation effectiveness and broadens the operational range, allowing reliable separation without precise stirring time settings

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If stirring time is extended to ensure complete coagulation in high blood concentration waste liquids, then coagulation completeness improves, but fine aggregates still form causing filter clogging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoagulation completenessVSAvoidfilter clogging
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention modifies the chemical composition parameters by introducing a solid flocculant with OH, NH, or FH groups combined with a solid compound having similar groups. This parameter change promotes the formation of large, strong aggregates that are less prone to filter clogging, while maintaining complete coagulation effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The solid compound with OH, NH, or FH groups acts as a structural analogue or copy of the flocculant's functional groups, creating a synergistic effect that enhances aggregate strength and size. This copying of functional groups leads to more robust aggregate formation that prevents filter clogging

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If different stirring times are adjusted for different blood concentrations, then treatment effectiveness improves, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The invention creates a universal treatment composition that effectively treats waste liquids across different blood concentrations without requiring adjusted stirring times. The solid flocculant with OH, NH, or FH groups combined with the solid compound having similar groups provides multi-functional effectiveness, making the operation simple and consistent across various scenarios
