Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydrothermal liquefaction technology, specifically to an ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal liquefaction device and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrothermal liquefaction is a pyrolytic process used to convert wet biomass and other polymeric materials into crude oil-like substances under moderate temperature and pressure. Also known as hydration pyrolysis, this reaction typically involves homogeneous and / or heterogeneous catalysts to improve product quality and yield. The carbon and hydrogen of organic materials, such as biomass, peat, or low-grade coal, are thermochemically converted into hydrophobic compounds with low viscosity and high solubility. Various types of biomass have been tested, ranging from forestry and agricultural residues, sewage sludge, and food processing waste to emerging non-food biomass such as algae. The composition of cellulose, hemicellulose, protein, and lignin in the raw materials affects the yield and quality of the oil in this process, such as converting pig manure into oil by heating pig manure and water. However, current hydrothermal liquefaction processes suffer from low efficiency and difficulties in overall discharge and internal cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0022] S4: In step S3, the motor drives the scraper bar structure to rotate. During the rotation of the scraper bar structure, the inner wall of the tank is scraped and washed. Combined with the water sprayed in by the integrated pipe assembly, the inner wall of the tank is thoroughly cleaned.
[0023] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0025] 1. The ultrasonic vibration layer formed by the annular heater and the ultrasonic component is distributed in an alternating pattern. Under the rotation of the ultrasonic component, the multi-layer ultrasonic vibration enables the liquid near the annular heater to flow rapidly. Combined with the pressurization of the tank body by the integrated pipeline assembly, the hydrothermal liquefaction process is greatly accelerated.
[0026] 2. The scraper bar structure has two functions. The first function is to work with the ultrasonic component to mix and stir the liquid inside the tank. The second function is to scrape and wash the inner wall of the tank. Combined with the water sprayed in by the integrated pipeline component, the inner wall of the tank is thoroughly cleaned. During the rotation of the scraper bar structure, the rotating shaft drives the spiral rib to rotate in the discharge hole, which can realize spiral discharge at the discharge hole and prevent blockage.
[0027] 3. The integrated piping assembly can realize the integration of gas filling and pressurization, flushing and feeding into the tank, avoiding leakage and sealing problems caused by multiple piping installations.
[0028] 4. After the water has liquefied, open the discharge pipe at the bottom of the tank. Under the pressure of the air inside the tank, the liquid inside can be quickly discharged.
[0029] 5. The upper and lower side walls of the annular heat-conducting shell and the plate are inclined, which allows the liquid to flow from top to bottom on the outer side wall, making it easy to clean without residue. Attached Figure Description

[0049] Working principle:
[0050] Raw materials and water are added to the tank 1 sequentially through the integrated pipeline assembly 4. First, the sealed cover 408 is opened to add raw materials, and then water is added through the second pipeline 411 by adjusting the second electromagnetic three-way valve 413. By adding raw materials and water in sequence, the raw materials falling on the annular heater 6 and ultrasonic component 7 can be flushed downwards and flow down. Then, nitrogen is introduced into the tank 1 through the first pipeline 410 by adjusting the second electromagnetic three-way valve 413 to pressurize it.
[0051] Motor 3 drives ultrasonic component 7 and scraper rod structure 8 to rotate inside tank 1. Ultrasonic component 7 and scraper rod structure 8 work together to stir the liquid inside tank 1. The ultrasonic vibration layer formed by the annular heater 6 and ultrasonic component 7 is distributed in an alternating pattern. Under the rotation of ultrasonic component 7, multi-layer ultrasonic vibration is achieved to make the liquid near the annular heater 6 flow rapidly. Combined with integrated pipeline component 4, the internal pressure of tank 1 is increased, accelerating the hydrothermal liquefaction process. The air pressure inside tank 1 can be detected by air pressure sensor 9, and automatic control of the air pressure inside tank 1 is achieved with digital display control panel 5.
[0052] After the water is liquefied, the discharge pipe 101 at the bottom of the tank 1 is opened. The discharge pipe 101 is connected to the first drain pipe 108 and is used to discharge the liquid. Under the action of the air pressure inside the tank 1, the liquid inside is quickly discharged. The integrated pipe assembly 4 continues to fill the tank 1 with water to flush the inside of the tank 1. The waste liquid generated by flushing can be discharged by the second drain pipe 109. The first electromagnetic three-way valve 107 can realize the connection and switching between the discharge pipe 101 and the first drain pipe 108, as well as between the discharge pipe 101 and the second drain pipe 109.
[0053] Motor 3 drives scraper rod structure 8 to rotate. During the rotation of scraper rod structure 8, the inner wall of tank 1 is scraped and washed. Combined with the water sprayed in by integrated pipe assembly 4, the inner wall of tank 1 is thoroughly cleaned. During the rotation of scraper rod structure 8, the spiral rib plate 804 can be driven to rotate in the discharge hole 105 through rotating shaft 803, so as to realize spiral discharge at discharge hole 105.

7. A method of using an ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal liquefaction device, comprising the ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal liquefaction device as described in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that: Includes the following steps: S1: Raw materials and water are added into the tank through the integrated pipeline assembly in sequence. The raw materials are added first and then the water, so that the raw materials falling on the ring heater and ultrasonic components are washed downward and flowed down. Then the integrated pipeline assembly introduces gas into the tank to pressurize it. S2: The motor drives the ultrasonic component and the scraper bar structure to rotate inside the tank. The ultrasonic component and the scraper bar structure work together to stir the liquid inside the tank. The ultrasonic vibration layer formed by the ring heater and the ultrasonic component is distributed in an alternating pattern. Under the rotation of the ultrasonic component, multi-layer ultrasonic vibration is achieved to make the liquid near the ring heater flow rapidly, accelerating the hydrothermal liquefaction process. S3: After hydrothermal liquefaction is complete, open the discharge pipe at the bottom of the tank. The discharge pipe is connected to the external pipe. Under the action of the air pressure inside the tank, the liquid inside is quickly discharged. The integrated pipe assembly continues to fill the tank with water to flush the inside of the tank. S4: In step S3, the motor drives the scraper bar structure to rotate. During the rotation of the scraper bar structure, the inner wall of the tank is scraped and washed. Combined with the water sprayed in by the integrated pipe assembly, the inner wall of the tank is thoroughly cleaned.
