Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seawater desalination treatment, and in particular to a low-temperature seawater desalination method and device. Background Art

[0002] As global water shortages become increasingly severe, desalination technology has become an important solution to the freshwater crisis. Currently, mainstream desalination technologies include reverse osmosis, multi-stage flash evaporation, and multi-effect distillation, but these technologies have many limitations in practical application. Reverse osmosis relies on high-pressure pumps to provide driving force, which not only consumes a lot of energy but also requires strict seawater pretreatment. Suspended matter, colloids, and microorganisms in the water can easily cause membrane fouling, shortening the life of the membrane components and increasing maintenance costs. Multi-stage flash evaporation and multi-effect distillation are both heat-driven technologies that require large amounts of high-temperature heat sources and typically rely on fossil fuel combustion for energy. This not only results in high operating costs but also produces large amounts of carbon emissions, which is not in line with environmental requirements. Furthermore, when these distillation technologies are operated in low-temperature environments (such as polar research stations and high-latitude coastal areas), insufficient heat source temperature can lead to a significant decrease in evaporation efficiency. Furthermore, the equipment is prone to failure due to low-temperature scaling and icing, seriously affecting system stability.

[0003] The utility model patent with publication number CN104628203B discloses a conditioning device for a low-temperature, multi-effect distillation desalination system. The system includes a water-producing main pipe, a low-temperature, multi-effect distillation desalination device with multiple water-producing pipes connected to the main pipe, a plurality of evaporators connected in series, and flash tanks corresponding to the evaporators. The conditioning device includes a controller, a dosing tank, a dosing pipe, and a pH meter located at the end of the water-producing pipe and connected to the controller signal. The dosing pipe is connected to the outlet pipe side of the evaporator flash tank. The desalination product water conditioning device of this scheme connects the conditioning device to the flash tank. The diluted sodium hydroxide solution enters the product water flash tank by negative pressure suction or by adjusting the amount of the reagent added using a dosing pump, ensuring the stability of the dosing flow and preventing large fluctuations in the pH value.

[0004] The conditioning device provided by the aforementioned patent utilizes a multi-effect distillation method for seawater desalination. However, this desalination method requires the coordination of multiple devices, resulting in high energy consumption. Furthermore, some energy cannot be recovered, resulting in energy waste. For example, when discharging concentrated brine, the large amount of heat contained in the brine cannot be effectively recovered and must be directly discharged, resulting in energy waste. Therefore, designing a desalination method and device with low energy consumption, energy recovery, and adaptability to low-temperature environments has become a pressing technical challenge in the current desalination field. Summary of the Invention

The remaining seawater enters the second-stage flash chamber; S320, the pressure of the second-stage flash chamber is 0.04MPa. After the seawater enters the second-stage flash chamber, it continues to flash at a pressure of 0.04MPa. The generated steam enters the manifold, and the remaining seawater enters the third-stage flash chamber. S330, the pressure of the third-stage flash chamber is 0.03MPa. After the seawater enters the third-stage flash chamber, it continues to flash at a pressure of 0.03MPa. The generated steam enters the manifold.

[0022] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0023] The following is a further description with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a low-temperature seawater desalination method, the specific steps of the seawater desalination method are as follows: S100: Raw seawater is introduced into a pretreatment device, where it undergoes grid filtration, ultrafiltration membrane filtration, and ion exchange resin adsorption to produce pretreated seawater. The ion exchange resin is a sodium-type ion exchange resin, which reduces the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions in the pretreated seawater to below 50 mg / L after adsorption. The ultrafiltration membrane has a pore size of 0.1 μm. This prevents the formation of large amounts of scale during subsequent preheating of the raw seawater.

[0025] S200: The pre-treated seawater is sent to the seawater heating equipment for heating to 50-60°C. This temperature can be quickly reached by a low-temperature heat source, and then the seawater can be evaporated by a multi-stage flash evaporation device. The seawater heating equipment includes a first-stage heating zone 01, a second-stage heating zone 02, and a third-stage heating zone 03. The specific heating steps are as follows: S210, introducing the pretreated seawater into the seawater heating equipment, and the seawater enters the primary heating zone 01 for initial heating; S220, the seawater after the initial heating enters the secondary heating zone 02, where the secondary heating zone 02 further heats the seawater; S230, a three-way joint 4 is provided between the secondary heating zone 02 and the tertiary heating zone 03, and a temperature sensor 41 is provided on the three-way joint 4 for monitoring the temperature of the seawater after being heated in the secondary heating zone 02; S240. When the seawater temperature meets the standard, it is directly discharged from the seawater heating device through the three-way joint 4 and directed to the multi-stage flash evaporation device. When the seawater temperature does not meet the standard, the seawater will pass through the three-way joint 4 and enter the three-stage heating zone 03 for further heating to ensure that the seawater temperature meets the standard. The seawater that meets the temperature standard is then introduced into the multi-stage flash evaporation device for flash evaporation.

[0026] S300, the heated seawater is sequentially fed into the flash chambers of each stage of the multi-stage flash evaporation equipment. In each flash chamber, the seawater flashes due to pressure reduction, generating steam. The evaporation chamber is provided with a honeycomb heat exchange plate made of graphene-modified polytetrafluoroethylene with a nano-scale concave-convex structure on the surface. The top of the evaporation chamber is provided with a vacuum pressure gauge and a pressure regulating valve. The pressure of each flash chamber of the multi-stage flash evaporation equipment is gradually reduced. The steps of flash evaporating the seawater are specifically as follows: S310, the pressure of the first-stage flash chamber is 0.05 MPa. After entering the first-stage flash chamber, the seawater is partially flashed at a pressure of 0.05 MPa. The generated steam enters the manifold and is injected into the seawater heating equipment through the manifold. The remaining seawater enters the second-stage flash chamber; S320, the pressure of the second-stage flash chamber is 0.04MPa. After the seawater enters the second-stage flash chamber, it continues to flash at a pressure of 0.04MPa. The generated steam enters the manifold, and the remaining seawater enters the third-stage flash chamber. The pressure in the third-stage flash chamber, S330, is 0.03 MPa. After entering the third-stage flash chamber, seawater continues flashing at 0.03 MPa, generating steam that enters a manifold. The remaining seawater is discharged from the third-stage flash chamber and enters the membrane distillation equipment. The temperature difference across the membrane generates steam, which enters a manifold and is then injected into the seawater heating equipment. The steam generated by each flash chamber is transported through the manifold to the seawater heating equipment, where the fresh water in the steam is condensed using the low-temperature seawater, achieving the purpose of desalination.

[0027] S400: The concentrated seawater after multi-stage flash evaporation is introduced into the membrane distillation equipment. The membrane distillation component uses a hydrophobic microporous membrane. Under the action of the temperature difference on both sides of the membrane, the water molecules in the concentrated seawater pass through the membrane pores to form steam; this can further squeeze out the fresh water in the concentrated seawater, thereby improving the desalination rate of seawater.

[0028] S500, introducing the water vapor generated in steps S300 and S400 into a seawater heating device for heat exchange, generating condensed fresh water and heating the seawater at the same time; this method heats the seawater through the heat generated by steam condensation, and also condenses the water in the steam, thus reducing the use of equipment, saving energy, and effectively utilizing the heat released by the steam condensation.

[0029] S600, introducing the concentrated seawater with waste heat generated in step S400 into a seawater heating device to exchange heat with seawater; after the heat exchange is completed, the concentrated seawater is discharged to a designated area; this method can recover the waste heat in the concentrated seawater and avoid wasting the waste heat in the seawater by directly discharging the concentrated seawater.

[0030] S700 , collecting the fresh water generated by condensation in step S500 into a fresh water storage container for storage, so as to facilitate the storage and subsequent use of the fresh water.

[0031] Example 2 like Figure 2As shown, a low-temperature seawater desalination device includes a pretreatment device, a seawater heating device, and a multi-stage flash evaporation device. The seawater pretreatment device pretreats the seawater to achieve the purpose of decontamination. The seawater heating device includes a primary heating zone 01, a secondary heating zone 02, and a tertiary heating zone 03. The pretreatment device is connected to the water inlet of the primary heating zone 01, and the water outlet of the primary heating zone 01 is connected to the water inlet of the secondary heating zone 02. A three-way joint 4 is provided between the water outlet of the secondary heating zone 02 and the water inlet of the tertiary heating zone 03 to control whether the heated seawater flows through the tertiary heating zone 03. This seawater heating device facilitates heating seawater in different zones, facilitating the timely discharge of heated seawater after the seawater temperature reaches the standard, thereby avoiding energy waste caused by overheating of the seawater. The water outlet of the tertiary heating zone 03 and the water outlet of the three-way joint 4 are both connected to the multi-stage flash evaporation device, which is used to flash evaporate the seawater in stages, causing a large amount of water vapor to evaporate from the seawater for subsequent condensation to produce fresh water. The water outlet of the multi-stage flash evaporation system is connected to a membrane distillation unit, which is used to further evaporate the concentrated seawater and increase its desalination rate. The steam outlets of the multi-stage flash evaporation unit and the membrane distillation unit are connected to the primary heating zone 01, allowing the steam to heat the seawater while simultaneously condensing the steam from the low-temperature seawater, achieving two goals at once. The water outlet of the membrane distillation unit is connected to the secondary heating zone 02, which facilitates the recovery of waste heat from the concentrated seawater discharged from the membrane distillation unit. The freshwater outlet of the primary heating zone 01 of the seawater heating unit is connected to a freshwater storage container for storing freshwater.

[0032] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the first-stage heating zone 01, the second-stage heating zone 02, and the third-stage heating zone 03 are all equipped with a guide box 1. The guide box 1 facilitates the diversion of seawater, thereby facilitating the graded heating of the seawater. The guide box 1 is internally provided with a heat exchange coil 2. The heat exchange coil 2 facilitates the passage of steam, concentrated seawater, or heated water to achieve the purpose of heat exchange with the seawater, thereby facilitating the temperature treatment of the seawater. The guide box is provided with two connecting pipes 113. The connecting pipes 113 facilitate the connection between the guide box and the heat exchange coil 2. This structure also facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the heat exchange coil 2 and facilitates the use of the heat exchange coil 2. The heat exchange coil 2 is provided with a first connecting cap 21 at each end. The first connecting cap 21 at each end of the heat exchange coil 2 is respectively connected to the two connecting pipes 113, making it convenient to assemble and disassemble the heat exchange coil 2 according to the use requirements. The guide box 1 of the primary heating zone 01 is provided with a guide pipe 5, which is connected to the connecting pipe 113 on the guide box 1 of the primary heating zone 01. The guide pipe 5 is used to introduce steam and discharge fresh water, facilitating the separation and diversion of condensed fresh water and gas, and also facilitating the re-introduction of gas into the heat exchange coil 2 when the humidity of the gas is still too high after condensation. The guide box 1 of the secondary heating zone 02 is provided with a control box 7, which facilitates the operation and use of the entire device. The top of the guide box 1 of the tertiary heating zone 03 is provided with a solar concentrating collector 6. The water inlet and outlet of the solar concentrating collector 6 are respectively connected to the two connecting pipes 113 on the guide box 1 of the tertiary heating zone 03. The solar concentrating collector 6 facilitates the collection of heat through solar energy, facilitating the effective heating of seawater when it is needed. The water inlet of the solar concentrating collector 6 is connected to a circulating water pump 8, which is used to drive water flow within the solar concentrating collector 6 and the heat exchange coil 2 within the tertiary heating zone 03. A phase change material storage box 3 is installed within the guide box 1 of the tertiary heating zone 03. The heat exchange coil 2 within the guide box 1 of the tertiary heating zone 03 is inserted into the phase change material storage box 3. The phase change material absorbs heat from the heat exchange coil 2, melting the absorbed phase change material and storing heat. At the same time, the phase change material releases heat when it reacts with seawater, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the seawater. The circulating water pump 8, the three-way connector 4, and the guide pipe 5 are all electrically connected to the control box 7, which facilitates the control box 7 to control the operation of the entire device.

[0033] like Figure 5As shown, the guide box 1 includes a box body 11 and a box cover 12. A splicing pipe 111 is provided at the top of the front and rear ends of the box body 11.

The drainage tubes 62 cooperate with the heat absorbing tubes 621 to facilitate the drainage of the heating medium, facilitate the heating of the heating medium, and facilitate the use of the heating medium. The fixing plate 622 and the fixing holes 623 cooperate to facilitate the fixing of the drainage tubes 62 and the heat absorbing tubes 621 by bolts. The heat collecting plate 63 is positioned against the heat absorbing plate 624 to facilitate the transfer of collected heat to the heat absorbing plate 624. The heat absorbing plate 624 then absorbs the heat and transfers it to the heating medium. A support 611 is provided at the opening of the frame 61. The tempered glass 64 is attached to the upper surface of the heat collecting plate 63 and pressed against the support 611. The ends of the two drainage tubes 62 are each connected to a flow pipe 65.

[0039] like Figure 12As shown, the circulating water pump 8 is equipped with two external pipes 81 at its ends, serving as the water inlet and outlet ports of the pump, respectively.

A third interconnecting cable 85 is installed on the side of the circulating water pump 8. A third interconnecting plug 86 is electrically connected to the interconnecting slot 71, facilitating control of the circulating water pump 8 by the control box. If the seawater temperature is determined to be below standard, the seawater enters the tertiary heating zone 03. Once the seawater enters the tertiary heating zone 03, the control box activates the circulating water pump 8, allowing the heating medium (e.g., water) to flow back and forth between the solar concentrating collector 6 and the heat exchange coil 2.

[0040] Working Principle: Desalination is achieved through the coordinated operation of pretreatment, heating, flash evaporation, membrane distillation, and heat recovery. First, raw seawater is filtered through a pretreatment device's grid, ultrafiltration membrane, and sodium ion exchange resin for adsorption, removing impurities and calcium and magnesium ions to prevent subsequent scaling. The pretreated seawater enters the seawater heating unit, where it flows sequentially through the primary and secondary heating zones 02. A T-joint 4 and temperature sensor 41 between the secondary and tertiary heating zones 03 determine whether to enter the tertiary heating zone 03 based on the water temperature, ensuring the seawater is heated to 50-60°C. The tertiary heating zone 03 utilizes a solar concentrating collector 6 and a phase change material storage box 3 for auxiliary heating and heat storage. Once desalinated, the seawater enters a multi-stage flash evaporation unit. Within each flash chamber, where the pressure decreases, the seawater flashes to produce steam. This steam is then fed through a manifold into the heat exchange coil 2 of the primary heating zone 01 of the seawater heating unit. The concentrated seawater then enters the membrane distillation unit, where the temperature difference across the membrane further generates steam, which is also fed to the primary heating zone 01. In the primary heating zone 01, low-temperature seawater exchanges heat with steam, condensing the steam into fresh water, which is then collected in a freshwater storage container while the seawater is heated. Concentrated seawater, which contains excess heat, exits the membrane distillation unit and enters the secondary heating zone 02, where it exchanges heat with the seawater to be heated, recovering the excess heat. The entire process is coordinated by a control box 7, which, for example, controls the steam condensation cycle based on feedback from a humidity sensor 55, ensuring efficient energy utilization and ultimately completing desalination.

[0041] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present application combines multi-stage flash evaporation with membrane distillation technology to fully utilize the evaporation potential of seawater under low temperature conditions, thereby improving freshwater production and desalination efficiency. The water vapor generated by flash evaporation and membrane distillation and the waste heat of concentrated brine are used as heating energy sources, combined with low-temperature heating methods, which greatly reduces the high energy consumption problem of traditional seawater desalination technology and meets the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection. Operating in a low-temperature environment of 50-60°C reduces the corrosion of high temperature and high salt to the equipment, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces maintenance costs. The use of solar concentrating collector 6 as a backup heating energy source can ensure that when the seawater is not heated to a specified stability, the solar concentrating collector 6 is started to continue heating the seawater, ensuring the normal operation of the entire seawater desalination system. At the same time, when the solar concentrating collector 6 is not in use, the heat energy generated by the solar concentrating collector 6 can be stored, effectively saving energy.
