Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of pressure seepage device for simulating the migration of pollutants in frozen soil barrier, belong to geotechnical engineering equipment field. BACKGROUND
[0002] Compared with bentonite, cement soil, geomembrane and other permanent barriers, frozen soil barrier is a good temporary barrier, using site geotechnical as raw material, without secondary pollution, and in the end of engineering, frozen soil barrier can be removed by natural warming. Frozen soil barrier has good impermeability, high strength, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and other properties, contains mineral composition with strong adsorption capacity for pollutants, and has little impact on the environment. In the long run, frozen barrier can significantly reduce the release rate of pollutants, has long-term stability, and is a pollution barrier material with great development prospect.
[0003] Frozen soil barrier has low permeability, and pollutants migrate slowly in it, but as a new type of barrier, it is extremely important to evaluate its service ability and barrier ability. At the same time, under the condition of negative temperature, it is difficult to simulate the migration of pollutants in frozen soil barrier. Ordinary constant gravity test cannot quickly simulate the service ability and barrier ability. There are few tests on artificial frozen soil barrier at home and abroad. When studying the service ability and barrier ability of frozen soil barrier, the effective barrier to the migration of pollutants in frozen soil is the most critical problem. If conventional constant gravity test is selected, it cannot meet the rapid simulation under low temperature and low permeability conditions.
[0004] Traditional constant head and variable head pressurizing device is not suitable for the study of artificial frozen soil barrier, partly because the pressure that can be applied is small, and the time for pollutants to break through the barrier and the effect of the barrier on pollutants cannot be quickly simulated. Another part is that when the traditional pressurized permeation is carried out, pollutants will flow around the place where the barrier and the device are connected, resulting in barrier failure.

The cavity of the container shell (15) is a spherical cavity, the outer wall of the seepage bin (19) is spherical, and the cavity of the container shell (15) and the outer wall of the seepage bin (19) are arranged as concentric spheres. The seepage holes are uniformly constructed on the outer wall of the seepage bin (19). The large ball of the container shell (15) and the small ball of the seepage bin (19) are filled with frozen barrier (16).

The liquid outlet pipe (20) and the liquid inlet pipe (21) are connected to the waste liquid recovery device (5) and the cold bath device (11) respectively, and the cold bath device (11) can provide constant temperature for the contaminated liquid. The pressurized delivery and extraction of the liquid outlet pipe (20) and the liquid inlet pipe (21) are operated through the pressurized system (10), and the valve one (8) for controlling the liquid flow in the liquid outlet pipe (20) is arranged in the middle of the liquid outlet pipe (20), and the valve two (9) for controlling the liquid flow in the liquid inlet pipe (21) is arranged in the middle of the liquid inlet pipe (21).

[0028] The pressurized delivery and extraction of the liquid outlet pipe (20) and the liquid inlet pipe (21) are operated through the pressurizing system (10); the pressurizing system comprises a water pump group (101), a one-way valve (102), an accumulator pump (103), a water pressure gauge (104), a water pressure sensor (105), a pressure regulating valve (106), a backwater throttle valve (107), a water bath temperature controller (108), and a filter element (109); the filter element (109), the water bath temperature controller (108), the water pump group (101), and the one-way valve (102) are sequentially arranged on the liquid inlet pipe (21) along the liquid inlet direction of the liquid inlet pipe (21); the accumulator pump (103) is communicated with the liquid outlet pipe (20) through a pipeline, and the backwater throttle valve (107), the pressure regulating valve (106), the water pressure sensor (105), and the water pressure gauge (104) are sequentially arranged between the liquid inlet end of the liquid outlet pipe (20) and the accumulator pump (103) along the liquid outlet direction of the liquid outlet pipe (20). After the solution is cooled, the pressure is controlled through the pressure regulating valve 106 and the backwater throttle valve 107, the water pressure gauge 104 and the pressure sensor 105 are arranged on the hydraulic pipeline, and the real-time pressure of the solution can be collected through the pressure sensor 105.
[0029] The seepage bin (19), the frozen barrier (16), and the container shell (15) are arranged as concentric spheres. The large sphere is a cavity for limiting the shape of the frozen soil barrier (16) inside the container shell (15), the small sphere is provided with the seepage bin (19), and the space between the large sphere and the small sphere is the frozen soil barrier (16). Through the liquid outlet pipe (20) and the liquid inlet pipe (21), the pressurized contaminated liquid in the seepage bin (19) can seep into the frozen soil barrier, which can effectively avoid the flow around the contaminated liquid.
[0030] The seepage bin (19) is a storage and seepage device for the solution, and the support pipe (17) supports the seepage bin (19) to avoid extrusion and damage of the seepage bin (19) due to the self-weight pressure of the upper soil and the frost heaving pressure.
[0031] The support pipe (17) is filled with a heat preservation material with good heat preservation performance, which can avoid freezing of the liquid in the pipe during artificial freezing. The liquid outlet pipe 20 and the liquid inlet pipe 21 are also wrapped with a heat preservation material.
[0032] The outer wall of the container shell (15) can be a spherical surface. The cavity two of the seepage bin (19) can be a spherical cavity, which facilitates uniform seepage of the liquid in the seepage bin (19) to the surrounding.
[0033] In this embodiment, the temperature change in the frozen soil barrier (16) is monitored by collecting the temperature in the frozen soil barrier (16). The implementation is that the detection end of the temperature collector (2) is connected with the thermocouple, the thermocouple is placed in the frozen barrier (16), the output end of the temperature collector (2) is connected with the data input end of the electronic computer (1), the temperature in the frozen soil barrier (16) is collected by the temperature collector (2) and monitored by the electronic computer (1).
[0034] The support base (12) is arranged at the lower end of the container shell (15) and is fixed to the bottom of the container shell (15) by welding or bolt fixing. The lower end of the container shell (15) is provided with a through hole three for filling frozen soil. The middle part of the support base (12) is provided with a through hole four for filling frozen soil. After the support base (12) is installed at the lower end of the container shell (15), the through hole three is opposite to the through hole four, and the through hole three and the through hole four form a filling hole (22) for filling frozen soil into the container shell (15).
[0035] The container shell (15) is made of metal material with good heat conductivity. The sampling hole (14) is arranged on the surface of the container shell (15) according to the size and position as needed, so that sampling can be conveniently performed from the sampling hole (14) during the experiment. The filling hole (22) and the sampling hole (14) can be closed by using a piston.
[0036] In order to facilitate the installation of the seepage chamber (19) inside the container shell (15), the container shell (15) is arranged in the form of two hemispheres abutting each other. The flange is arranged at the abutting position of the two hemispheres and is fixed by bolts. When the seepage chamber (19) and the support pipe (17) are installed, the two hemispheres are opened, and then the two hemispheres are fixed by the flange and the bolts after installation.
[0037] The use steps of the pressurized seepage device for simulating the migration of pollutants in the frozen soil barrier in this embodiment are as follows:
[0038] I. Connect the thermocouple with the temperature collector (2) and the electronic computer (1), close the sampling hole (14) of the container shell (15), and check the sealing performance. Wrap the seepage chamber (19) with gauze to prevent the soil from being pressed into the seepage chamber (19) by self-weight pressure or frost heaving pressure. The soil sample is prepared according to the experimental scheme. After preparation, the soil sample is filled according to the size of the device. A thermocouple is placed at an appropriate position every certain distance in the lower half of the frozen soil barrier (16) to record the temperature change of the soil sample during freezing.
[0039] II. Close all valves, open the freeze mode of the freeze-thaw thermostat (4), set the freezing temperature, and open the temperature acquisition instrument (2) to collect temperature data. The thickness of the frozen soil is determined by the temperature data. When the temperature of the thermocouple changes little, the frozen soil barrier is basically stable.
[0040] III. Keep the freezing temperature, open the cold bath device (11), adjust the cold bath temperature, open valve two (9), and deliver the contaminated liquid to the infiltration chamber (19) through the pressurization system (10). After a period of time, pressurize the contaminated liquid to reach the specified pressure. The pressurization process can be continued by increasing the input flow and reducing the output flow, or increasing the input pressure, etc.
[0041] IV. Allow the contaminant to undergo a period of pressure infiltration. Stop the delivery of the contaminated liquid through the pressurization system (10), close valve two (9), and sample the frozen soil barrier (16) through the sampling hole (14). Then, save the samples layer by layer for concentration detection. After sampling through the sampling hole (14), backfill the sampling hole (14) with low-permeability material.
[0042] V. If the contaminant is detected in the outermost layer, the barrier is destroyed. If there is no contaminant or the contaminant is located farther from the outermost layer, continue to pressurize the infiltration, and then detect the concentration from another sampling hole after a period of time.
[0043] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by ordinary skilled persons within the essential scope of the present application should be within the protection scope of the present application.
