Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oily wastewater treatment in petrochemical industry, coal chemical industry, coking, mechanical processing and the like, and specifically relates to a device and method for generating double droplet forward and reverse phase enhanced extraction and oil removal. Background Art

[0002] Large quantities of oily wastewater are generated in many units in the fields of petrochemicals, coal chemical industry, coking, and mechanical processing. The oil in oily wastewater exists in the form of dispersed oil, emulsified oil, and dissolved oil. Dissolved oil refers to organic compounds with a certain solubility in water. Conventional methods for treating oily wastewater currently mainly involve adding chemical agents to break the emulsion, combined with traditional equipment such as inclined plates, cyclones, and flotation. These treatment methods are mainly effective for treating dispersed and emulsified oils, but they also have the problems of large dosages, large land areas, and high production of hazardous waste scum. The treatment effect on dissolved and highly emulsified oils is poor, and the oil concentration in the effluent after treatment is too high, often requiring further deep oil removal.

[0003] CN201710079809.1 discloses a method and device for resource utilization of oilfield produced water, which uses a dissolved air flotation and immobilized microbial pool combination device to remove soluble oil. However, the combined device has a long process, occupies a large area, and introduces the problem of hazardous sludge waste.

[0004] CN202220915929.7 discloses an integrated device for separating and filtering oily wastewater. The removal of dissolved oil is mainly achieved by adsorbing the dissolved oil in the wastewater through the filter filler. However, the device has a short treatment cycle, a low dirt holding capacity of the filler, and is easily saturated with adsorption.

[0005] CN202210767828.4 discloses a flotation and extraction treatment system and method for oil-containing wastewater in an oil-water separation device based on partial vaporization of low-boiling-point liquid. It mainly utilizes the flotation and similar phase extraction process of low-boiling-point liquid to separate dissolved oil, but the device has high energy consumption and the oil removal effect of the flotation process without adding drugs is poor.

[0006] Therefore, in order to address the problem that the dissolved oil content in oily wastewater treated by conventional methods is high and the effluent water quality is unqualified, it is of great significance to provide a device and method for generating double droplet positive and negative phase enhanced extraction and oil removal to achieve efficient phase separation of dissolved oil and extractant.

[0043] The technical solutions of the present invention are described clearly and completely below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise defined, all professional and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0044] The forward phase extraction and reverse phase extraction in the present invention are distinguished according to whether the extractant serves as the dispersed phase or the continuous phase. The forward phase extraction process refers to the extraction process in which the extractant serves as the dispersed phase and is dispersed in the continuous phase in the form of microdroplets. The reverse phase extraction process refers to the extraction process in which the extractant serves as the continuous phase and the oily wastewater serves as the dispersed phase.

[0045] The present invention fully disperses the extractant in the oily wastewater through a specific jet dispersion and turbulent mixing process, strengthens the forward phase extraction process by dispersing the extractant droplets to reduce the interfacial area, and then strengthens the reverse phase extraction process by obtaining double droplets through a double droplet dispersion process. The extraction mass transfer is strengthened by the phase interface conversion between the dispersed phase and the continuous phase, and the oil-water phase separation is achieved through a synergistic separation process to obtain purified water. Specifically, the extractant is subjected to high shear in the jet dispersion unit to form droplets of a specific particle size that are dispersed in the oily wastewater, and is subjected to a multi-stage turbulent mixing unit to strengthen droplet breakage and microextraction to form a mixed liquid. The mixed liquid is then redispersed by the double droplet dispersion unit to produce large-particle double droplets to further strengthen the extraction process of the dissolved oil, and fine extractant droplets are released through the oil-water interface. The multi-media coalescing bed layer is used to achieve efficient phase separation of droplets of this particle size.

The horizontal axial sections of the first mixing section and the second mixing section of each mixing structure are formed by three equal circles with radii r1 of 5 mm and r2 of 3 mm, respectively. They are arranged in an equilateral triangle with an axial center distance l of 5 mm.

[0072] The diameter of the entrainment section of the Venturi dispersion device is 8 mm, and two 1 mm entrainment holes are radially opened. The tapering angle of the tapering section and the gradually expanding angle of the gradually expanding section are 20°. The evenly distributed number of the Venturi dispersion devices is 24.

[0073] The multi-media coalescing bed of the collaborative separation unit is a bed of 0.5 mm particles, the bed medium is a mixture of quartz sand and polytetrafluoroethylene in a ratio of 1:1, and the bed depth is 1000 mm.

[0074] The ratio of the extractant reflux to recovery is 2:1, and the injection ratio of the reflux extractant to the fresh extractant is 1:1.

[0077] After each device had been running stably for 5 minutes, samples were taken from the mixed liquid outlet and the purified water outlet. The concentrations of the tested pollutants are shown in the table below. After mixing, only the dissolved oil content could be tested by membrane separation. The emulsified oil and the extractant could not be separated, so no data was available.

[0078]

[0079] Based on the above treatment results, the device and method described in Example 1 can be used to treat oily wastewater, achieving physical separation of emulsified oil, xylene (benzene series), naphthalene (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), and thymol (phenol). Furthermore, a turbidity evaluation medium coalescing device can achieve non-dissolved phase separation. Furthermore, the water content in the extractant after separation was tested to be 0.3%, indicating a low subsequent extractant recovery load. The present invention provides a method for physically treating emulsified and dissolved oil in oily wastewater by generating a dual droplet-based forward and reverse phase enhanced extraction and oil removal device, thereby enabling the recovery and utilization of oily pollutants.

This does not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application.
