[0003] The treatment capacity of domestic kitchen waste will continue to increase, and the emission of odor gas cannot be ignored.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0046] This invention provides a system and method for liquefying odorous gases based on the supersonic cooling effect, which will be described below.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention discloses an odor liquefaction system based on the supersonic cooling effect, including a pre-separation device 1, a pressurization device 2, a supersonic liquefaction separation device 3, and a plasma treatment device 4.
[0048] The pre-separation device 1 includes a water washing unit 11 and a water removal unit 12. The water washing unit 11 has a water washing chamber with a water medium inside. Taking advantage of the property that ammonia can be dissolved in water at a ratio of 1:700, the water medium can come into contact with and combine with the ammonia to remove the ammonia in the gas. The water washing unit 11 is connected to the water washing chamber and is equipped with an adsorbent. The adsorbent is used to adsorb hydrogen sulfide in the odorous gas and the water carried by the water washing.
[0049] The air inlet 36 of the pressurizing device 2 is connected to the outlet of the dehydration unit 12, and is used to increase the gas flow rate inside the pressurizing device by compressing air.
[0050] The interior of the supersonic liquefaction separation device 3 forms a reaction chamber that enables the gas to swirl and form a supersonic cooling effect to separate the odorous gas into liquid. The supersonic liquefaction separation device 3 is provided with an air inlet 36, an air outlet 37, and a liquid outlet pipe 35 that are connected to the reaction chamber. The air inlet 36 is connected to the outlet of the pressurizing device 2, so that the gas accelerated by the pressurizing device 2 enters the reaction chamber through the air inlet 36. The gas in the reaction chamber forms qualified dry gas and odorous liquid under the supersonic cooling effect. The dry gas and odorous liquid after gas-liquid separation are discharged through the air outlet 37 and the liquid outlet pipe 35, respectively.
[0051] The inlet of the plasma treatment device 4 is connected to the outlet pipe 35. The plasma treatment device 4 is used to generate active oxygen molecules, which are then used to oxidize and decompose the liquefied odorous gas, and to further treat and purify the malodorous liquid separated and enriched by the ultrasonic liquefaction separation device 3.
[0052] In this device, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies in treating malodorous odors and harmful gas emissions, hydrogen sulfide is removed in advance. The water medium in the pre-separation unit 1 allows it to contact and combine with ammonia in the waste gas, removing all ammonia first. Then, the adsorbent in the dehydration unit 12 adsorbs hydrogen sulfide from the gas inside the dehydration unit and the moisture carried over from the washing unit, thus pre-treating the hydrogen sulfide in the odorous gas from kitchen waste. After treatment by the pre-separation unit 1, the gas enters the pressurization unit 2, where compressed air increases the gas processing speed, achieving pre-acceleration of the odorous gas and creating favorable conditions for the subsequent ultrasonic cooling effect. The ultrasonic liquefaction separation unit 3 liquefies and enriches the main components of the odorous gas under ultrasonic cooling. Finally, the plasma treatment unit 4 generates active oxygen molecules that can oxidize and decompose the liquefied odorous gas, further treating and purifying the liquid obtained from the nozzle separation and enrichment, achieving efficient gas treatment.
[0053] It should be noted that the water medium generated by the water washing unit 11 can be water mist, water droplets, etc.
[0054] likeFigures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, to improve the removal effect of ammonia, the water medium generated by the water washing unit 11 is preferably water mist. The water washing unit 11 includes a water washing tank 111 and a water storage component 112 disposed on one side of the water washing tank 111. A water washing chamber is formed inside the water washing tank 111. The water storage component 112 includes a water storage tank 113 and several connecting pipes 114 that respectively connect the water storage tank 113 and the water washing tank 111. A water pump connected to the connecting pipes 114 is also provided in the water washing chamber to generate dynamic water. Water is supplied to the washing tank 111 through the connecting pipe 114. The washing chamber and the connecting pipe 114 are both installed on the washing tank 111. Each connecting pipe 114 is equipped with a pressure atomizer so that the water in the water storage tank 113 can be pressurized by the pressure atomizer after entering the connecting pipe 114 to form water mist, and the water mist is output to the washing tank 111 so that the ammonia in the gas in the washing tank 111 can fully contact the water mist. Taking advantage of the property that ammonia can dissolve in water, all the ammonia is removed first.
[0055] Furthermore, the water storage component 112 can also be a water pump and a water pipe. The water pump is used to pump water into the washing tank 111 through the water pipe. The air inlet 36 provided on the washing tank 111 is lower than the water level inside the washing tank 111 so that the gas can come into contact with the water inside the washing tank 111 and remove the ammonia. The gas after removing the ammonia is discharged into the water suction tank 121 through the air guide pipe 123 above it.
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the dewatering unit 12 includes a water absorption tank 121 and an inner tank 122 disposed inside the water absorption tank 121. The top of the water washing tank 111 in the water washing unit 11 is connected to the bottom of the inner tank 122 through a gas guide pipe 123. The inner tank 122 is also connected to the pressurizing device 2. The inner tank 122 is installed in the middle of the water absorption tank 121 by a bracket, and the inner tank 122 is filled with an adsorbent. The adsorbent can adsorb hydrogen sulfide in the malodorous gas and the moisture brought by the water washing.
[0057] In some embodiments, the adsorbent is preferably alumina.
[0058] In use, the malodorous gas generated by kitchen waste is first introduced into the water washing unit 11. Water in the water storage tank 113 installed on one side of the water washing unit 11 is atomized into water mist by a pressurized atomizer, so that the water can better contact and combine with the ammonia gas. Taking advantage of the property that ammonia gas can dissolve in water at a ratio of 1:700, all the ammonia gas is removed first. Then, the gas is introduced into the inner tank 122 from below through the gas guide pipe 123, and comes into full contact with the modified alumina in the device from bottom to top, so that the hydrogen sulfide in the malodorous gas and the moisture brought by the water washing are completely adsorbed. The remaining gas is then introduced into the next device through the pipeline, thereby achieving a good pretreatment effect.
[0059] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the adsorbent may also be activated carbon or the like, to adsorb hydrogen sulfide from the odorous gas and moisture from the washing process.
[0060] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to enable the odor gas to be better liquefied and separated in the Laval nozzle 31, the gas needs to reach a certain pressure and velocity in advance; the pressurization device 2 includes a first storage tank 21 for storing unpressurized gas, a second storage tank 22 for storing pressurized gas, a connecting pipe 23 and a compressor 24. The first storage tank 21 is connected to the inner tank 122 through a pipe, and the first storage tank 21 and the second storage tank 22 are connected through the connecting pipe 23, so that the gas treated by the dehydration unit 12 can enter the first storage tank 21 through the pipe, and the gas in the first storage tank 21 can enter the second storage tank 22 through the connecting pipe 23.
[0061] When the gas reaches 0.2 MPa, it can be accelerated to supersonic speeds after passing through the Laval nozzle 31. To achieve this pressure, the compressor 24 is preferably a reciprocating compressor 24. The output end of the reciprocating compressor 24 is connected to the connecting pipe 23 so that when the gas flows from the first storage tank 21 to the connecting pipe 23, it can be compressed by the reciprocating compressor 24 and then discharged to the second storage tank 22. By compressing the gas through the reciprocating compressor 24, the gas can meet the required pressure. Compared with other compressors 24, the reciprocating compressor 24 has a simpler principle and is more energy-efficient. Under conditions where the required pressure is not high, it is more suitable for the needs of the device.
[0062] Furthermore, the pressurizing device 2 also includes a motor 27, and the compressor 24 is provided with a crank structure 25 and a piston 26. One end of the crank structure 25 is connected to the drive end of the motor 27, and the other end is connected to the piston 26. By driving the crank structure 25 to move, the piston 26 is driven to reciprocate, so as to continuously compress air and obtain continuous air pressure.
[0063] Furthermore, the compressor 24 can also be a screw compressor 24, replacing the piston compressor 24.
[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the supersonic liquefaction separation device 3 includes a Laval nozzle 31. The outer periphery of the Laval nozzle 31 contracts inward to form a throat 32. The interior of the Laval nozzle 31 and the sides of the throat 32 are respectively formed with a tapering section 33 and a diffusing section 34. The end of the Laval nozzle 31 corresponding to the tapering section 33 forms an air inlet 36, and the end corresponding to the diffusing section 34 forms an air outlet 37. The cross-sectional area of the tapering section 33 and the diffusing section 34 gradually increases from the end near the throat 32 to the other end.
[0065] This accelerated gas-liquid separation device causes the odorous gas flow to enter the modified Laval nozzle 31 in the form of a swirling flow under the action of the swirling structure in the pressurization and pre-acceleration module. The swirling principle is as follows: the high-speed gas flow is guided by the swirling structure and enters the Laval nozzle in a tangential direction and spirals along the pipe wall to form a high-speed swirling flow. After passing through the Laval nozzle 31, the swirling flow is strengthened due to the increased speed. The mixed gas expands adiabatically in the Laval nozzle 31, thereby producing a low-temperature effect. Impurities such as heavy hydrocarbons in the mixed gas condense and liquefy, and gas-liquid separation occurs under the action of the huge centrifugal force of the swirler, thereby achieving the effect of separating odorous components. The liquid outlet pipe 35 is located at one end of the air outlet 37 of the Laval nozzle 31 and below the diffuser section 34. Under the action of the huge centrifugal force of the hydrocyclone, the droplets are thrown to the pipe wall and flow to the end of the inner wall of the pipe. Then, under the action of gravity, they flow from the lower end through the liquid outlet pipe 35 to the plasma treatment device 4. According to the coaxial swirling, the dry gas is at the entire axis. Under the action of the shock wave, the speed of the dry gas changes from supersonic to subsonic, the pressure begins to rise, the qualified dry gas is discharged smoothly, and the liquefied odor gas successfully enters the next device.
[0066] Furthermore, the Laval nozzle 31 in the supersonic liquefaction separation device 3 is preferably a single-stage nozzle, which has a set of throat 32, converging section 33 and diverging section 34. In other embodiments, a multi-stage nozzle can be used instead of a single-stage nozzle. By setting multiple sets of throat 32, converging section 33 and diverging section 34, the separation effect can be further improved.
[0067] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the plasma treatment device 4 includes a liquefied odor pipe 41, a blower 42, an ion generator 43, and a reaction vessel 44. The inlet of the liquefied odor pipe 41 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 35 of the Laval nozzle 31, and its outlet is connected to the reaction vessel 44, so that the liquid portion in the Laval nozzle 31 flows to the reaction vessel 44 through the liquefied odor pipe 41. The ion generator 43 uses a high-voltage transformer to boost the power frequency voltage to the required voltage, and uses the DC high voltage at the tip of the carbon brush to generate a high corona discharge, which releases a large number of electrons at high speed. These electrons are unstable and will quickly combine with oxygen in the surrounding environment to generate positive and negative oxygen ions.
[0068] The blower 42 has a gas inlet pipe 45 at its air inlet 36 and an outlet 37 connected to an ion generator 43 via a pipe. The outlet of the ion generator 43 is connected to the reaction vessel 44. Driven by the blower 42, external airflow flows into the reaction vessel 44 through the blower 42 and the high-voltage transformer. The airflow of the blower 42 is controlled by the system and adjusted according to the reaction speed of the current deodorization process. Finally, an appropriate amount of pure air is sent into the ion generator 43 and enters the reaction vessel 44 under the action of the airflow, where it reacts with the odorous liquid particles. A large number of active oxygen molecules in the airflow are instantly oxidized and decomposed with the odorous gas, resulting in high deodorization efficiency.
[0069] Air carrying a large number of positive and negative oxygen ions enters the reactor 44 through a tangential air passage. The interior of the reactor 44 has a spherical structure. The airflow enters along the tangential direction of the reactor 44 wall and turns to both sides and downwards during the rotational motion. Finally, during the air intake process, an organized airflow movement around the axis of the reactor 44 is formed, namely the intake vortex. When the odorous liquid particles enter the reactor 44 from top to bottom, due to the low pressure in the central area, the odorous liquid particles will be quickly mixed into the intake vortex and rapidly purified. The reaction products will be discharged outside the device through the discharge port set on the reactor 44 along with the vortex.
[0070] Furthermore, in the plasma treatment device 4, a photocatalyst can also be used to replace the plasma method with photocatalysis. The photocatalyst generates active oxygen molecules under light irradiation to achieve the oxidative decomposition of malodorous gases.
[0071] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a filter screen 46 is provided inside the gas inlet pipe 45 to block external impurities, which can further purify the air passing through the blower 42 and remove dust and moisture.
[0072] To better implement the odor liquefaction system based on the supersonic cooling effect in the embodiments of the present invention, based on the odor liquefaction system based on the supersonic cooling effect, correspondingly, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for liquefying odorous gases based on the supersonic cooling effect, applicable to the above-mentioned odorous gas liquefaction system based on the supersonic cooling effect, the method comprising:
[0073] S100: The malodorous gas generated by kitchen waste is first introduced into the water washing unit 11. The water medium in the water washing unit 11 comes into contact with the waste gas, and the ammonia gas is removed first by taking advantage of the property that ammonia gas can be dissolved in water at a ratio of 1:700. Then, the gas enters the dehydration unit 12 from the water washing unit 11. The adsorbent set in the dehydration unit 12 completely adsorbs the hydrogen sulfide in the malodorous gas and the water carried by the water washing. The remaining gas is then introduced into the pressurization device 2 through the gas guide pipe 123.
[0074] S200: The odorous gas that has passed through the hydrogen sulfide pretreatment stage enters the interior of the pressurization device 2, where the pressurization device 2 continuously compresses the air to obtain continuous air pressure, and pre-accelerates the odorous gas by pressurizing it.
[0075] S300: The odorous gas flow enters the reaction chamber of the supersonic liquefaction separation device 3 in the form of a swirling flow. Due to the increased speed, the swirling flow is strengthened. The mixed gas expands adiabatically in the supersonic liquefaction separation device 3, thereby generating a low temperature effect. Impurities such as heavy hydrocarbons in the mixed gas condense and liquefy, and gas-liquid separation occurs under the action of the huge centrifugal force of the cyclone separator, thereby achieving the effect of separating odorous components.
[0076] S400: After being processed by the ultrasonic liquefaction separation device 3, the droplets formed by the liquefaction of odorous gas flow through the liquid outlet pipe 35 to the plasma treatment device 4. The large number of active oxygen molecules generated by the plasma treatment device 4 oxidize and decompose the odorous gas in the malodorous liquid, further processing and purifying the liquid separated and enriched by the ultrasonic liquefaction separation device 3, and finally discharging it into the atmosphere in gaseous form.
[0077] The present invention also provides a more specific embodiment to illustrate the above steps S100 to S400:
[0078] Step 1: The malodorous gas generated by kitchen waste enters the water washing tank 111 through the inlet. The water in the water storage tank 113 is atomized by the compressor and then transported to the water washing tank 111 through the connecting pipe 114, so that the ammonia in the exhaust gas can fully contact and combine with the water mist to achieve the effect of removing ammonia. Then, the exhaust gas after removing ammonia enters the inner tank 122 of the water absorption tank 121 through the air guide pipe 123 and enters from the lower end of the inner tank 122, flowing from bottom to top. The exhaust gas fully contacts the modified alumina in the inner tank 122, so that the hydrogen sulfide in the malodorous gas and the water carried by the washing are completely adsorbed by it.
[0079] Step 2: The waste gas treated by the pre-separation device 1 enters the first storage tank 21. When it enters the second storage tank 22 through the connecting pipe 23, it is compressed by the compressor 24 to obtain continuous air pressure, and the pressurized and accelerated gas is discharged to the second storage tank 22.
[0080] Step 3: After being accelerated by the pressurizing device 2, the gas enters the Laval nozzle 31 through the inlet 36 in the form of a swirling flow under the action of the swirling structure. It then passes sequentially through the converging section 33, throat 32, and diverging section 34 of the Laval nozzle 31. After passing through the nozzle, the swirling flow is strengthened due to the increased speed. The mixed gas undergoes adiabatic expansion in the Laval nozzle 31, generating a low-temperature effect. Heavy hydrocarbons and other impurities in the mixed gas condense and liquefy, and gas-liquid separation occurs under the enormous centrifugal force of the swirler, thus achieving the effect of separating odorous components. Under the enormous centrifugal force, droplets are thrown against the pipe wall and flow to the end of the inner wall of the pipe. Then, under the action of gravity, they flow from the lower end through the liquid outlet 35 to the plasma treatment device 4. According to the coaxial swirling flow, the dry gas is at the entire axis. Under the action of the shock wave, the speed of the dry gas changes from supersonic to subsonic, and the pressure begins to rise. The qualified dry gas is smoothly discharged through the outlet 37.
[0081] Step 4: The liquefied odorous gas is discharged into the reaction vessel 44 through the liquefied odorous gas pipe 41. The ion generator 43 uses a high-voltage transformer to boost the power frequency voltage to the required voltage and uses the DC high voltage at the tip of the carbon brush to generate a high corona discharge, releasing a large number of electrons at high speed. These electrons are unstable and quickly combine with oxygen in the surrounding environment to generate positive and negative oxygen ions. Driven by the blower 42, the external airflow flows into the reaction vessel 44 through the blower 42 and the high-voltage transformer, sending an appropriate amount of pure air into the ion generator 43. Under the action of the airflow, the air enters the reaction vessel 44 and reacts with the odorous liquid particles therein. The large number of active oxygen molecules in the airflow instantly oxidize and decompose the odorous gas, resulting in high deodorization efficiency.
[0082] Air carrying a large number of positive and negative oxygen ions enters the reactor 44 through a tangential air passage. The airflow enters along the tangential direction of the reactor 44 wall and turns to both sides and downwards during the rotational motion, ultimately forming an organized airflow movement around the axis of the reactor 44 during the air intake process, namely the intake vortex. When odorous liquid particles enter the reactor 44 from top to bottom, due to the low pressure in the central area, the odorous liquid particles will quickly mix into the intake vortex and be rapidly purified. The reaction products will be discharged outside the device through the discharge port provided on the reactor 44 along with the vortex.
[0083] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies in treating malodorous odors and harmful gas emissions through a hydrogen sulfide pretreatment step, effectively reducing malodorous odors in subsequent treatment processes. In addition, the pressurized pre-acceleration treatment step can increase the gas processing speed, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent supersonic cooling effect step, thereby improving the overall processing efficiency.
[0084] This invention combines the supersonic cooling effect and plasma treatment technology to achieve efficient treatment of harmful gases under lower temperature and energy consumption conditions. Compared with existing technologies, this treatment method has lower energy consumption and raw material consumption, thereby achieving effective savings in energy and resources.
[0085] This invention effectively reduces harmful gas emissions and mitigates environmental pollution during the treatment process, contributing to improved environmental quality. Furthermore, the use of environmentally friendly treatment methods, such as plasma treatment, further reduces the environmental impact of the treatment process.
[0086] This invention is applicable to various scenarios, including urban food waste treatment centers, the catering industry, food processing plants, and agricultural farms. Due to its simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly processing, it has broad application potential and can significantly improve the quality and efficiency of odor control in various industries, making a positive contribution to building a green and sustainable society.

Any other corresponding changes and modifications made in accordance with the technical concept of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
