Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment technology, specifically to a heterogeneous Fenton oxidation reactor and a wastewater treatment method. Background Technology

[0002] Industries such as chemical, food, metallurgy, electroplating, textile printing and dyeing, mining, papermaking, leather, pharmaceutical, and petroleum generate large amounts of wastewater and waste liquid during production processes, i.e., industrial wastewater. This wastewater mainly contains industrial raw materials, intermediate products, and pollutants lost during production. Due to its complex types and diverse components, most of which are difficult to degrade and possess a certain degree of toxicity, achieving a suitable balance between treatment to meet emission standards and cost control is a significant challenge and is widely recognized as a major problem in the field.

[0003] Currently, advanced oxidation technologies are used to treat high-concentration industrial wastewater. These technologies utilize activated carbon to oxidize, decompose, and mineralize most organic matter in the wastewater, achieving efficient removal of recalcitrant organic compounds. Activated carbon adsorption, ozone oxidation, and Fenton oxidation are the main methods. However, activated carbon adsorption requires large amounts of activated carbon, resulting in high recycling and regeneration costs and potential environmental impact. Ozone oxidation, on the other hand, is selective for pollutants and struggles to completely decompose recalcitrant organic compounds. The oxidation products are often small-molecule carboxylic acids, ketones, and aldehydes. For example, CN114262117A discloses a system for deep COD degradation of organic wastewater, including a raw water tank, oxygen cylinders, an ozone generator, a rotating packed bed (RPB) reactor, an intermediate equalization tank, an air pump, a storage tank, and a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). This patent involves a gas-liquid two-phase mixture, and the ozone oxidation process is selective, only treating a portion of the organic matter. For some recalcitrant organic compounds, such as benzene and toluene, the treatment effect is not ideal. The principle of Fenton oxidation is through Fe... 2+ The process of reacting with H2O2 under acidic conditions to generate strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (·OH) to degrade organic pollutants has the advantages of simple operation, applicability to a wide range of pollutants, and low risk of secondary pollution. It is a promising technology for treating recalcitrant organic pollutants.

[0004] Fenton oxidation includes homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton oxidation. Homogeneous Fenton oxidation has a narrow pH range, cannot fully mineralize organic matter, has low H2O2 utilization, and generates a large amount of iron sludge during treatment, increasing costs. In contrast, heterogeneous Fenton oxidation is a typical catalytic oxidation reaction that occurs at the liquid-solid interface. Its principle is that the metal cations on the surface of the solid catalyst react with H2O2 to generate highly oxidizing ·OH. ·OH degrades organic pollutants through three mechanisms: electrophilic addition with double bonds or aromatic rings, hydrogen extraction from alkyl or hydroxyl groups, and electron transfer reactions. It has high hydrogen peroxide utilization, does not generate large amounts of iron sludge, has a wider pH range, and lower costs, making it a current research hotspot in the field of wastewater treatment.

[0005] Fully leveraging the liquid-solid mass transfer characteristics of the heterogeneous Fenton oxidation system is key to determining the overall treatment effect and operating cost of the heterogeneous Fenton reaction process.

[0006] Existing technologies primarily focus on the catalyst itself, improving pollutant removal efficiency by enhancing the catalyst's performance. For example, Chinese patent applications CN115869950A, CN115814796A, CN113856680A, and CN110465300A all start from the catalyst itself, developing solid-phase catalysts with large specific surface areas to increase the liquid-solid contact area, thereby improving the removal efficiency of recalcitrant pollutants. However, the disadvantage of solid-phase catalysts with large specific surface areas is their high density, rapid settling in liquids, and poor fluidization effect.

[0007] Besides optimizing the performance of the catalyst itself, high catalytic oxidation efficiency can also be achieved by optimizing the macro-mixing process, increasing the contact area between the catalyst and the reaction system, and enhancing the reaction process. Conventional techniques for optimizing the macro-mixing process mainly involve optimizing the reactor configuration or using mechanical stirring, increasing reflux, or increasing aeration to increase the contact degree between the liquid and the solid catalyst by increasing liquid disturbance. For example, CN107640854A discloses "An integrated method for deep treatment of dyeing and printing wastewater with oxidation time measured in seconds," and CN107473453A discloses "A novel pure fluid static pipeline reactor." These methods use water jets and static mixers as reagent mixing methods to achieve extremely short catalytic oxidation reactions, saving space and cost in tower construction. However, this type of reactor has the following problems: (1) It is essentially a homogeneous Fenton oxidation reaction with a narrow pH range, a large amount of reagent consumption, and low catalytic efficiency; (2) In actual wastewater treatment plants with a capacity of 10,000 tons, the required length and floor space of the mixing pipeline due to the residence time are large, which places high demands on the site; (3) The long mixing pipeline has a large resistance loss along the way and at bends, and in many cases, it is necessary to set up an additional inlet pump or booster pump to ensure that the wastewater can flow in and out smoothly, which increases the energy consumption of the entire reaction process.

[0008] In actual operation, dead zones and short-circuiting phenomena still exist within the reactor of the macro-mixing process. Furthermore, the methods for optimizing the macro-reaction process are often crude, resulting in poor fluidization and low utilization of solid-phase catalysts, as well as large reagent dosages. Simultaneously, in traditional heterogeneous catalytic reactions, catalysts are prone to caking and passivation, leading to significant catalyst deactivation and waste, thus affecting catalytic efficiency.

[0009] In summary, the macroscopic mixing process in heterogeneous Fenton oxidation reactors suffers from long reaction times, large dimensions, large footprint, poor fluidization, and severe caking and deactivation. Furthermore, the high energy consumption resulting from secondary lifting and mechanical / aeration mixing methods makes them environmentally unfriendly. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages:

[0043] 1. Regarding microscopic mixing reactions, the present invention provides a heterogeneous Fenton oxidation reaction device, which includes a spatial three-dimensional metal framework and a water distributor. The spatial three-dimensional metal framework has a cavity inside, and the spatial three-dimensional metal framework includes at least one metal ring with several holes penetrating the metal ring. The metal ring is composed of elemental metals and / or metal oxides with catalytic activity. The outlet of the water distributor is located in the cavity inside the spatial three-dimensional metal framework. Driven by a motor, the heterogeneous Fenton oxidation reaction device drives the three-dimensional metal framework to rotate at high speed. Under centrifugal force, the wastewater in the cavity comes into full contact with and is sheared against the metal mesh, forming numerous tiny droplets. This enhances the microscopic contact area between the organic matter in the wastewater and the Fenton reagent, and ensures full contact between the mixture and the metal ring, increasing the contact time of the reactants. This can increase the rate of the transfer and mixing reaction process by 1-3 times, significantly shortening the material mixing and reaction time, reducing energy consumption, saving reagent dosage, improving reagent utilization efficiency, and catalyst catalytic efficiency. The device of the present invention also has the advantage of small footprint.

[0044] The spatial three-dimensional metal framework includes at least one metal ring, which itself has catalytic oxidation properties. The metal ring has pores penetrating it, forming channels among several metal rings, allowing the mixed liquid to fully contact all the metal rings in the spatial three-dimensional metal framework. As the spatial three-dimensional metal framework rotates, the mixed liquid, upon entering the framework under centrifugal force, is subjected to shear force. The shearing force is further amplified by the pores in the metal rings, breaking the mixed liquid into fine droplets. This increases the specific surface area of ​​the mixed liquid, and the significant turbulent disturbance enhances the mass transfer process. The mixed liquid is highly sheared and dispersed, forming droplets with exceptionally large specific surface areas, down to the molecular scale. This ensures the mixed liquid is uniformly dispersed within the device, allowing for full contact with the catalytically active metal rings in the spatial three-dimensional metal framework, thus improving mass transfer efficiency, enhancing catalytic and reaction efficiency, strengthening the Fenton oxidation reaction, effectively increasing the removal rate of recalcitrant organic pollutants, shortening reaction time, reducing reagent dosage, and decreasing subsequent iron sludge production.

[0045] Since the metal ring component contains catalytically active elemental metals and / or metal oxides, the metal ring has catalytic reaction activity and abundant catalytic active sites, which can take into account the functions of efficient shearing, mixing and catalysis, further shortening the reaction time and reducing the subsequent iron sludge production.

[0046] 2. Regarding macroscopic mixing reactions, the heterogeneous Fenton oxidation reactor provided by this invention includes a macroscopic mixer comprising a tube and several fins. The fins divide the conveying cross-section of the tube, and the fins are arranged along the extension direction of the tube. Adjacent fins are arranged at a predetermined angle. Preferably, the fins are spiral, circular, or square in shape. The mixture continuously generates turbulent flow, vortices, and counter-vortices in the macroscopic mixer, promoting macroscopic and efficient mixing of the Fenton reagent and wastewater.

[0047] 3. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic vibrator are longitudinal waves with alternating compression and sparsity. Through the cavitation effect of the ultrasound, a strong micro-perturbation effect is generated on the surface of the metal ring, which in turn disperses, emulsifies, and peels off the contaminant layer on the surface of the catalytically active metal ring, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the catalyst and solving the problem of severe catalyst caking and deactivation in the traditional heterogeneous Fenton oxidation reaction.

[0048] The mechanical and chemical effects generated by the cavitation of ultrasound improve the mass transfer and mixing efficiency in the reactor, enhance the generation process of active oxygen species, and accelerate the reaction rate. It also solves the problems of catalyst blockage and scaling caused by iron sludge generated by the reaction of FeSO4 and hydrogen peroxide, effectively slows down the caking phenomenon of catalytic active elements, and has self-cleaning ability.

[0049] 4. The wastewater treatment method provided by the present invention, by using the device of the present invention, can improve wastewater treatment efficiency, catalytic efficiency and reaction efficiency by enhancing the macroscopic and microscopic mixed reaction process, and significantly reduce the amount of reagents added. The method is applicable to systems with a pH of 5.0 to 5.5, and broadens the pH range applicable to wastewater treatment by traditional Fenton oxidation reaction. Attached Figure Description

[0061] Example 1

[0062] This embodiment provides a heterogeneous Fenton oxidation reaction apparatus, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0063] A three-dimensional spatial metal framework 1 has an internal cavity. The three-dimensional spatial metal framework 1 includes at least one metal ring, and the metal ring has several holes penetrating the metal ring. The composition of the metal ring includes a catalytic elemental metal and / or metal oxide.

[0065] As the spatial three-dimensional metal skeleton 1 rotates, under the action of centrifugal force, the mixed liquid discharged from the outlet of the water distributor 5 enters the spatial three-dimensional metal skeleton 1 and is subjected to shear force. Due to the presence of several holes in the metal ring, the shearing effect is further enhanced, and the mixed liquid is broken into fine droplets, increasing the specific surface area.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the water distributor 5 has at least three openings for conveying the mixture within the water distributor 5 to the spatial three-dimensional metal frame 1, where the mixture is subjected to shearing action and undergoes a Fenton oxidation reaction. Further, the water distributor 5 is positioned along the axial direction of the spatial three-dimensional metal frame 1. The shape of the openings can be, but is not limited to, circular, rectangular, etc. Preferably, the water distributor has 3 to 9 openings.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, a macro mixer 2 is also included, which is connected to the water distributor 5; such as Figure 4 As shown, the macro mixer 2 includes a tube and several fins. The fins effectively cut the liquid transported in the tube. The fins are arranged along the extension direction of the tube, with adjacent fins at a predetermined angle. Preferably, the fins are spiral, circular, or square. Specifically, the fin material includes 316L stainless steel, and the predetermined angle between adjacent fins can be, but is not limited to, 90°, 120°, or 135°. The diameter of the macro mixer is 0.1–1.2 m. The mixed liquid continuously generates turbulent flow, vortices, and counter-vortices in the macro mixer 2, promoting macroscopic and efficient mixing of Fenton's reagent and wastewater.
