[0052] The present disclosure is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0053] A photocatalytic ozone and hydrogen peroxide oxidation process of wastewater is a free radical reaction process and generally includes free radical initiation, a free radical chain reaction and free radical termination. In this process, main factors affecting an oxidation effect of the wastewater include generation of free radicals, a high enough mass transfer rate in a free radical chain reaction stage and an enough residence time in a free radical termination stage to ensure that a reaction is conducted more thoroughly. A wastewater treatment equipment and a process apparatus of the present disclosure are designed based on the photocatalytic ozone and hydrogen peroxide oxidation process of the wastewater. An operating process of the wastewater treatment process and apparatus of the present disclosure is described below with reference to
[0054] As shown in
[0055] A process flow specifically includes that the wastewater passing through a wastewater tube 1 and the hydrogen peroxide passing through a hydrogen peroxide tube 2 are pumped into a liquid-liquid mixer 8 for mixing by using a wastewater feeding pump 7 and a hydrogen peroxide feeding pump 6 respectively, preheated in a preheater 9 and mixed with the ozone from an ozone tube 3 in a gas-liquid mixer 10 to complete gas-liquid mixing and then enter each photocatalytic reactor 11 in the parallel photocatalytic reactor group. As shown in
[0056] The mixed solution of the wastewater and the hydrogen peroxide mixed by the liquid-liquid mixer 8 enters the preheater 9 and is preheated to 50-65° C. to facilitate generation of free radicals with maximum efficiency when mixed with the ozone in the next step; and a fixed-tube-sheet heat exchanger is generally used as the preheater 9, and a heat exchange area is calculated according to actual operating conditions and is generally 1-100 m.sup.2. A discharge temperature of the mixed solution of the wastewater and the hydrogen peroxide from the preheater 9 is adjusted according to a flow rate of hot water (heat transfer oil or other heating media can also be used) of the heat exchanger.
[0057] The number and specification of the photocatalytic reactor 11 are determined according to an actual processing capacity, generally 5-60 photocatalytic reactors are appropriate, the inner diameter is generally 50-300 mm, and the height of the reactor is generally 500-2000 mm. The ultraviolet lamp 11-4 is installed in a glass tube, during actual operation, the glass tube of the ultraviolet lamp 11-4 is polluted by pollutants in the wastewater, the photocatalytic efficiency is reduced, and the glass tube needs to be removed and cleaned regularly.
[0058] Reaction effluent from a top of the photocatalytic reactor 11 is collected into a bottom of the oxidation tower 12 and flows through the oxidation tower from bottom to top for a further reaction. The residence time in the oxidation tower is generally 20-360 min, and after a reaction is completed, gas and liquid are discharged from a top of the tower and a side port in an upper part of the tower respectively.

[0062] in the small pilot test, a multi-stage apparatus for advanced oxidation treatment of wastewater shown in
[0063] a process for treatment of wastewater by using the above device included the following steps:
[0064] 1) the to-be-treated wastewater and hydrogen peroxide were added into the photocatalytic reactor, where an added amount of the hydrogen peroxide was 20 mL (a mass concentration of the hydrogen peroxide was 30%);
[0065] 2) a mixed solution of the to-be-treated wastewater and the hydrogen peroxide was preheated to 55° C.;
[0066] 3) ozone at room temperature was introduced into the reactor, where an introduced amount of the ozone was 50 g/h; and
[0067] 4) an effluent COD concentration was monitored and reached 11.7 mg/L within 240 min, where the change of the COD concentration with a reaction time t was shown in
[0068] According to results of the small pilot test of the wastewater shown in
[0069] II. Treatment of the Wastewater by Using the Equipment Shown in
[0070] Accordingly, the multi-stage apparatus for advanced oxidation treatment of wastewater shown in
[0071] Wastewater treatment included the following steps:
[0072] S1: the to-be-treated wastewater and hydrogen peroxide were mixed, where a flow rate of the wastewater was 5 m.sup.3/h, and an added amount of the hydrogen peroxide was 2 kg/h (a mass concentration of the hydrogen peroxide was 30%);
