DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a turbid water treatment apparatus, which comprises adding an inorganic flocculant and an organic polymer flocculant to turbid water mixed with earth and sand, cement waste water and other turbid water discharged in tunnel construction. Is used to flocculate the colloidal particles, further convert the colloidal particles into highly water-containing non-diffusible particles (hereinafter, referred to as “pellets”), and settle and separate them.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A turbid water mixed with earth and sand is used as raw water, and an inorganic flocculant and an organic polymer flocculant are sequentially added to the raw water to flocculate the colloid particles in a short time. There is known a turbid water treatment apparatus which stirs a flow, applies shear and external pressure to the floc group to extrude moisture inside the floc, compacts and pelletizes the pellet, and sediments and separates the pellet. This apparatus is frequently used because the sedimentation speed of the pellet is high.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the known turbid water treatment apparatus. The above raw water is mixed with an inorganic coagulant, supplied to the upper end of a mixing tank 2 by a raw water pipe 1, and while descending the mixing tank 2. The collision with the baffle plates 2a arranged in multiple stages is repeated, mixed with the organic polymer flocculant charged at the upper end of the mixing tank 2, and the colloid particles in the raw water are flocculated. The obtained floc-containing water containing a large amount of floc is sent from the lower end of the mixing tank 2 to the lower end of the granulating tank 4 through the liquid supply pipe 3.

The floc-containing water sent to the granulating tank 4 rushes into the conical bucket 5b at the lower end of the vertical shaft 5a which is rotated by the drive of the motor 5, and the flocks are pelletized by compaction due to the impact at that time. While ascending in the granulation tank 4, the mixture is stirred by the stirring blade 5c fixed to the vertical shaft 5a, and is separated into an upper supernatant liquid W and a lower suspension liquid containing a large amount of pellets P while adjoining the next. It overflows into the sedimentation tank 6. Then, the supernatant liquid W overflows the sedimentation tank 6 and the overflow gutter 7 in order, and is taken out.
The slurry is discharged from the lower end of the sedimentation tank 6 by the pump 9 while the solidification is suppressed by the stirring blade 8b at the lower end of the vertical shaft 8a rotating by the drive.

However, in the above conventional apparatus, the floc-containing water is supplied upward from the lower end of the granulation tank 4 against the gravity, and the upward water stream collides with the conical bucket 5b and is reflected. The power of the upward water flow was weakened, the impact when the flock collided with the inner surface of the conical bucket 5b was reduced, and the pelletization efficiency of the flock was not sufficient. Further, since the suspension in the granulation tank was disturbed by the upward water flow, separation into the supernatant and the suspension was difficult to proceed. When raw water previously mixed with the inorganic flocculant descends through the mixing tank 2, the organic polymer flocculant is added, and the descending flow collides with the baffle plate 2 a in the mixing vessel 2, thereby stirring the raw water. In addition, there has been a problem that the mixing of the organic polymer flocculant becomes insufficient, and the generated flocs accumulate on the upper surface of the base of the baffle plate 2a and are not sent to the granulation tank.

[0006]

A first object of the present invention is to add an inorganic coagulant and an organic polymer coagulant to raw water,
An object of the present invention is to improve the pelletization efficiency by enabling the mixed floc-containing water to be supplied to the lower part of the granulation tank without lowering its power. The second problem is that in the step of pelletizing the flocs of the floc-containing water in the granulation tank, the suspension is prevented from being disturbed to promote the separation of the suspension, and the processing speed of the apparatus is further increased. It is to improve.
Further, the third problem is to increase the mixing efficiency of the organic polymer flocculant with the raw water previously mixed with the inorganic flocculant, to prevent the piping from the mixing tank to the granulation tank from being blocked, and to prevent the floc generated in the mixing tank. Is sent to a granulation tank to improve granulation efficiency.

[0007]

The invention according to claim 1 is
In order to solve the first problem, raw water mixed with an inorganic coagulant and an organic polymer coagulant are supplied from above to a mixing tank, and an organic polymer coagulant is mixed with the raw water while being lowered. The suspended components in the raw water are flocculated, and the obtained floc-containing water is supplied to the lower end of the granulation tank, stirred while being raised, and the floc is condensed to obtain a high water content non-diffusible particle (hereinafter, referred to as “floc”).
In a turbid water treatment device in which the pellets are settled and separated by overflowing the resulting pellets together with the supernatant liquid into the sedimentation tank, the vertical axis in which the granulation tank is driven by a motor is rotated. A stirrer having a stirring blade fixed radially at each of the lower end and a plurality of locations above the lower end of the granulation tank is provided with a liquid supply pipe for supplying the floc-containing water to the granulation tank. The floc-containing water connected to the eccentric position and supplied to the granulation tank collides with the stirring blade at the lower end of the vertical shaft.

In the above turbid water treatment apparatus, the stirring blades in the granulation tank rotate in one direction by driving a motor, while the floc-containing water supplied to the lower end of the granulation tank is supplied to the lower end side of the granulation tank. It is sent to the eccentric position and tries to rotate the stirring blade by colliding with the stirring blade at the lower end of the stirring device, but the rotation direction of the stirring blade is either forward or reverse with respect to the direction of the water containing the floc. Good. However, it is necessary that the rotation speed is such that the floc-containing water collides with the agitating blade and the flocs in the floc-containing water are compacted. A preferable rotational speed is 2 to 6 rpm, and 2 rpm.
If it is less than pm, the consolidation becomes insufficient, while if it exceeds 6 rpm, the floc is broken. Then, the flocs are granulated into pellets by the above-mentioned compaction, a suspension portion containing a large amount of pellets is formed at the lower portion of the granulation tank, and a clarification portion made of a supernatant liquid is formed at the upper portion.

[0009] A part of the floc-containing water that has collided with the stirring blades is reflected and dissipated, and the rest collides with the floc-containing water that did not collide with the rear stirring blade to perform the above-mentioned compaction. Pelletization proceeds by repetition. And since the above-mentioned floc-containing water is supplied horizontally to the side surface of the granulation tank, compared to the case where it is supplied upward to the bottom surface of the granulation tank, there is no deceleration due to gravity, and consolidation is correspondingly performed. It is done efficiently. In addition, since the floc-containing water collides horizontally with the stirring blade that rotates horizontally, the deceleration due to the floc-containing water that collides and returns in the opposite direction is smaller than when the conical bucket collides from below. Conversion is performed efficiently.

The invention according to claim 2 solves the second problem in addition to the first problem, and in the turbid water treatment apparatus according to the first invention, the vertical axis in the granulation tank is provided. A dam plate provided with a plurality of holes penetrating therethrough is fixed to a disk that covers the stirring blade at a portion above the stirring blade at the lower end. In this case, since the floc-containing water supplied to the lower end of the granulation tank rises separately at the periphery and the hole of the weir plate,
Almost uniform ascending flow is obtained by preventing a partial sudden rise, and the rotation of the above-mentioned stirring device is moderate, and the suspension layer that is being formed in the granulation tank expands gently without stirring. In addition, due to the difference in specific gravity between the water and the floc, the water is relatively fast and the floc rises relatively slowly, so that separation of the two is promoted and the processing speed of the apparatus is further improved.

The invention according to claim 3 solves the third problem in addition to the first and second problems, and a mixing tank in the turbid water treatment device according to claim 1 is provided. Is a turbid water treatment device in which a vertically long cylindrical shape is formed, and a motor-driven stirrer is inserted into the mixing tank from above.

According to this apparatus, the organic polymer coagulant is forcibly mixed with the raw water supplied to the mixing tank by mixing the inorganic coagulant in advance with a motor-driven stirrer, and a vortex is generated by the rotation. Therefore, sufficient mixing becomes possible and the flocculation efficiency of the floating components in the raw water is improved, and the generated floc does not accumulate on the stirring blade,
In addition, blockage of the piping from the mixing tank to the granulation tank is prevented,
All the flocs generated in the mixing tank are sent to the granulation tank, and the granulation efficiency is improved.
