Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of low-temperature plasma, and in particular to a composite plasma discharge device and a waste gas treatment method using the device. Background Art

[0002] Low-temperature plasma method is a method of directly using electric energy to pre-treat or directly harmlessly treat toxic and harmful gases. By applying a high-voltage electric field to ionize the gas to produce highly chemically active particles (including electrons, ions, free radicals and excited molecules, etc.), which react chemically with waste gas molecules to obtain small molecules that are easy to degrade in subsequent methods or directly decompose organic matter into carbon dioxide and water. This method has the characteristics of instant start and stop and simple process, and is suitable for waste gas systems with large flow and concentration fluctuations. However, the actual industrial waste gas composition is very complex. In addition to inorganic substances such as H2S and nitrogen oxides, it also includes a wide variety of organic pollutants, such as hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing organic matter, nitrogen-containing organic matter, halogen-containing organic matter and sulfur-containing organic matter. Depending on different industrial devices and processes, actual industrial waste gas may contain multiple components at the same time. Due to different molecular bonding structures, the minimum activation energy required to destroy molecules is different, that is, the optimal electric field strength required for the degradation of each type of industrial waste gas may be different, and traditional plasma generators that provide a single discharge mode cannot meet the needs of variable electric fields.

[0003] To solve this problem, CN103418217A discloses a device for treating industrial waste gas by composite discharge along the surface and packed bed, which is composed of a number of coaxial sleeve subsystems of metal tubes and insulating medium tubes connected in series / parallel. The coaxial sleeve subsystem includes three electrodes (where the electrode outside the insulating medium tube is a high-voltage electrode, and the metal outer tube and the inner surface electrode of the insulating medium tube are both ground electrodes). In addition, the sleeve gap is filled with insulating particles. Therefore, two discharge areas are connected in series in the device subsystem, namely the surface discharge area generated around the inner surface electrode of the insulating medium tube and the surface discharge generated around the outer electrode of the insulating medium tube and the surface-packed bed discharge area between the two tubes. This combination method prolongs the treatment time of the waste gas, improves the treatment efficiency, and achieves harmless emission. In addition, a similar coaxial filled sleeve structure device was also reported in the literature (Post Plasma-Catalysis of Low Concentration VOC Over Alumina-Supported Silver Catalysts in a Surface / Packed-Bed Hybrid Discharge Reactor, Jiang Nan et al., Water Air Soil Pollut (2017) 228: 113). However, the insulating particles stacked in the packed bed area cause the gaps through which the gas can pass to be greatly compressed. When the amount of waste gas to be treated is the same, the reactor containing the stacked particles has greater air resistance, fan pressure loss and energy consumption than the unstacked reactor. The processing flow rate of the above coaxial filled sleeve structure is only 0.8L / min. Therefore, this device combination is not suitable for large-flux waste gas treatment systems, which greatly restricts the application scope of plasma generators involving this type of discharge form. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems of single discharge mode and limited processing capacity in the prior art, and to provide a composite plasma discharge device and a waste gas treatment method using the device. The device uses two discharge forms, surface discharge and dielectric barrier discharge, separately or in superposition. At the same time, multiple plasma discharge reactors can be used in series and / or in parallel, and the sleeve gap in the reactor is a gas channel, and the gas path is straight and has no filling particle layer. When the amount of waste gas to be treated is large or contains pollutants that are difficult to degrade, multiple plasma discharge reactors can be used in series or in parallel, or a driving power supply can be applied to the central high-voltage electrode and the second high-voltage electrode at the same time, or the above two measures can be applied at the same time to meet the energy demand for the decomposition of the unit amount of waste gas; when the amount of waste gas to be treated is normal or small, or the molecules of the pollutants to be treated are easier to decompose, the central high-voltage electrode or the second high-voltage electrode can be used alone, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving energy utilization. Based on this, the composite plasma discharge device and the waste gas treatment method using the device can meet the various energy requirements of the waste gas molecules to be treated, and are suitable for the treatment of waste gas with large volume, complex composition and large fluctuations.

[0038] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0039] The endpoints and any values ​​of the ranges disclosed in this article are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values ​​should be understood to include values ​​close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values ​​of each range, the endpoint values ​​of each range and the individual point values, and the individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed in this article.

[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "up, down, left, right" generally refer to up, down, left, right in the drawings, and "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside of the corresponding structure.

[0041] In the present invention, the waste gas includes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are organic compounds with a saturated vapor pressure greater than 70 Pa at room temperature and a boiling point not higher than 260°C at normal pressure. There are about 150 types of VOCs detected. In addition, it also includes hydrogen sulfide, dust-containing gas and flue gas.

[0042] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a composite plasma discharge device, which contains one or more plasma discharge reactors; the plasma discharge reactor includes a plasma reaction tube 4, a central high-voltage electrode 1 coaxially arranged with the plasma reaction tube 4, a ground electrode 3 close to the outer wall of the plasma reaction tube 4, and a second high-voltage electrode 2 close to the inner wall of the plasma reaction tube 4. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a plasma discharge reactor provided by one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the central high-voltage electrode 1 located in the center is coaxially arranged with the plasma reaction tube 4 , the ground electrode 3 is closely attached to the outer wall of the plasma reaction tube 4 , and the second high-voltage electrode 2 is closely attached to the inner wall of the plasma reaction tube 4 .

[0043] In the plasma discharge reactor of the present invention, the dielectric barrier discharge area generated by the central high-voltage electrode and the surface discharge area generated between the second high-voltage electrode and the plasma reaction tube simultaneously generate two forms of discharge in the two areas, namely, surface-dielectric barrier composite discharge. The plasma discharge device including the plasma discharge reactor is a composite plasma discharge device.

[0044] The plasma discharge reactor in the composite plasma discharge device of the present invention can meet the energy requirements of different waste gas treatments by using two discharge forms, namely, surface discharge and dielectric barrier discharge, separately and / or in combination, and providing different discharge forms.

[0045]

[0046] As shown in Formula 1, SIE (specific energy input) is the injected energy (unit J / L), which is one of the important parameters of the plasma generator. Among them, P is the discharge power of the plasma generator (unit W), Q is the flow rate of the gas to be treated (unit L / s), and n is the number of plasma generators.

[0047] In general, the removal efficiency of pollutant molecules is proportional to the injection energy value of the plasma reactor, and the more difficult the pollutant molecules are to degrade, the higher the injection energy required. If you want to obtain a specific removal effect, you must meet a specific injection energy. Therefore, when the volume of waste gas to be treated increases, a specific SIE value input can be guaranteed by increasing the input power. Specifically, the total power can be increased by connecting plasma reactors in series / parallel (i.e., increasing n) or combining two discharge forms (i.e., increasing P0); when the concentration of pollutants or pollutant molecules that are difficult to degrade increases, that is, the SIE value increases, and the amount of waste gas to be treated Q is constant, the total power P can also be increased to ensure a specific SIE value input. The specific method is the same as above. When the amount of waste gas to be treated is small, or the pollutant molecules to be treated are easier to decompose, that is, when the SIE value is low, the central high-voltage electrode or the second high-voltage electrode can be used alone (i.e., reducing P0) or increasing the gas volume (i.e., increasing Q), thereby reducing energy consumption and improving energy utilization.

[0048]

[0049] Wherein, in Formula 2, f is the applied driving power frequency (in Hz), U is the power supply voltage applied to the plasma generator (in V), and I is the current through the plasma generator (in A). In the specific implementation of the present invention, in order to further utilize the existing device to increase power and improve the injected energy, the driving power frequency f operating parameter is mainly fixed during the actual operation process (due to the use of the existing device, the device resistance is a fixed value, so the current I therein is determined by the power supply voltage U). In the specific implementation, in order to meet the needs of different VOCs to be treated, on the basis of utilizing the existing coaxially arranged plasma generating device, in order to meet the degradation needs of VOCs of different concentrations, the injection energy can be increased by increasing the voltage U peak value / amplitude to improve the efficiency of plasma treatment of waste gas; in another specific implementation of the present invention, the driving power frequency can be changed to achieve the effect of affecting the injected energy value; and in another specific implementation of the present invention, when the driving power adopts a pulse power supply, the duty cycle of the power input can be changed to affect the injected energy value.

[0050] In the present invention, the number of the plasma discharge reactors is 2, and the two plasma discharge reactors are connected in series or in parallel. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the two plasma discharge reactors are connected in series or in parallel. According to the different waste gases to be treated, the two plasma discharge reactors can be the same discharge mode (only along the surface discharge, only dielectric barrier discharge or along the surface-dielectric barrier composite discharge), and the two plasma discharge reactors can also be different discharge modes, for example, one plasma discharge reactor is along the surface discharge, and the other plasma discharge reactor is dielectric barrier discharge; or one plasma discharge reactor is along the surface discharge, and the other plasma discharge reactor is along the surface-dielectric barrier discharge; or one plasma discharge reactor is dielectric barrier discharge, and the other plasma discharge reactor is along the surface-dielectric barrier discharge.

[0051] In the present invention, preferably, the number of the plasma discharge reactors is 3 or more, and the plurality of the plasma discharge reactors are connected in series and / or in parallel. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, three plasma discharge reactors are included (represented by plasma discharge reactor 1, plasma discharge reactor 2 and plasma discharge reactor 3, respectively), and the three plasma discharge reactors are connected in series or in parallel, for example, plasma discharge reactor 1, plasma discharge reactor 2 and plasma discharge reactor 3 are sequentially connected in series or in parallel with each other; or, plasma discharge reactor 2 and plasma discharge reactor 3 are connected in parallel and then connected in series with plasma discharge reactor 1. According to the different waste gases to be treated, the three plasma discharge reactors can all have the same discharge mode (only surface discharge, only dielectric barrier discharge or surface-dielectric barrier composite discharge), and the three plasma discharge reactors can also have different discharge modes. Specifically, in the connection mode in which the three plasma discharge reactors are connected in series in sequence or the three plasma discharge reactors are connected in parallel, plasma discharge reactor 1 is surface discharge, and plasma discharge reactor 2 and plasma discharge reactor 3 are dielectric barrier discharge; or plasma discharge reactor 1 is dielectric barrier discharge, and plasma discharge reactor 2 and plasma discharge reactor 3 are surface discharge; or plasma discharge reactor 1 is dielectric barrier discharge, plasma discharge reactor 2 is surface discharge, and plasma discharge reactor 3 is dielectric barrier discharge; or plasma discharge reactor 1 is surface discharge, plasma discharge reactor 2 is dielectric barrier discharge, and plasma discharge reactor 3 is surface discharge. In the connection mode in which both series and parallel connection exist, plasma discharge reactor 1 is surface discharge, and plasma discharge reactor 2 and plasma discharge reactor 3 are dielectric barrier discharge; or plasma discharge reactor 1 is dielectric barrier discharge, and plasma discharge reactor 2 and plasma discharge reactor 3 are surface discharge; or plasma discharge reactor 1 is dielectric barrier discharge, plasma discharge reactor 2 is surface discharge, and plasma discharge reactor 3 is dielectric barrier discharge; or plasma discharge reactor 1 is surface discharge, plasma discharge reactor 2 is dielectric barrier discharge, and plasma discharge reactor 3 is surface discharge. For the connection mode of more than three plasma discharge reactors and their specific discharge modes, a variety of selections and combinations can be made, which will not be repeated here.

Those skilled in the art may also select other metal powders with conductive properties to be filled in an insulating medium tube as a central high-voltage electrode as needed.

The plasma reaction tube 4 is provided with a gas inlet and a gas outlet. The central high-voltage electrode 1 and the second high-voltage electrode 2 are applied with independent power supply systems, and different driving power supplies (including different voltages and frequencies, etc.) are selected respectively, so that three discharge modes can be realized: (1) when voltage is applied only to the central high-voltage electrode 1, plasma is generated in the form of dielectric barrier discharge, which is suitable for hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, and cyclohexane; (2) when voltage is applied only to the second high-voltage electrode 2, plasma is generated in the form of surface discharge, which is suitable for hydrocarbon derivatives such as methanol and formaldehyde; (3) when high voltage is applied to the central high-voltage electrode 1 and the second high-voltage electrode 2 at the same time, plasma is generated in the form of surface discharge and single dielectric barrier discharge coupling, which is suitable for the above two forms (1) and (2) of waste gas molecules that are not easy to degrade, such as benzene, H2S, etc.
