Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste gas treatment technology, specifically to a low-temperature plasma catalytic treatment system and method for organic waste gas. Background Technology
[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) refer to organic compounds with a saturated vapor pressure greater than 70 Pa at room temperature and a boiling point below 260℃ at normal pressure, or all organic compounds with a vapor pressure greater than or equal to 10 Pa at 20℃ that are volatile. These include non-methane hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing organic compounds, nitrogen-containing organic compounds, and sulfur-containing organic compounds. Their main sources include industrial production processes such as organic chemical processing, petroleum refining, printing, spraying, and solvent use. VOCs are not only important precursors to smog and photochemical smog, but their irritating odors and biotoxicity also cause significant harm to human health.
[0003] Generally, methods for treating organic waste gas fall into two main categories. For high-concentration organic waste gas with recovery value, recovery technologies such as membrane separation, adsorption, and absorption are typically employed. For low-concentration organic waste gas without recovery value, destruction technologies such as regenerative thermal combustion, catalytic oxidation, biological methods, low-temperature plasma methods, and photocatalysis are commonly used. Organic waste gas destruction technology can be simply described as a series of physical, chemical, and biological reactions that cause VOCs to oxidize with oxygen in the air, ultimately mineralizing them into CO2 and H2O. Therefore, oxygen is a crucial reaction condition for VOCs degradation. Although most organic waste gas emitted during industrial production processes consists of air as a background, some processes and equipment generate organic waste gas with inert gases as the main background component, resulting in very low oxygen content. For example, in the first case, oxygen participates as one of the reactants in the organic synthesis reaction process, leading to a decrease in the oxygen content of the emitted organic waste gas; in the second case, inert gases serve as circulating protective gases to prevent the oxidation of organic products, and VOCs gradually accumulate in the inert circulating gas, which not only reduces product performance but also damages equipment performance.
[0004] For the first scenario of generating oxygen-deficient organic waste gas, VOCs degradation can be achieved by mixing with a certain amount of air and using destruction technology. However, the drawback is that larger volumes of waste gas require larger-scale treatment equipment. For the second scenario of generating oxygen-deficient organic waste gas, if a small amount of air is mixed with the waste gas and then destroyed, the VOCs degradation efficiency cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, to prevent the oxidation of organic products, gas separation equipment is needed to control the increased oxygen concentration in the recirculating gas caused by the introduction of air. If adsorption technology is used to collect VOCs, additional waste gas enrichment treatment equipment or outsourcing the regeneration of the adsorbent to a relevant company is required.
[0005] In summary, using traditional methods or combinations of processes to degrade oxygen-deficient organic waste gas under both conditions significantly increases the cost of waste gas treatment. Therefore, how to control the cost of waste gas treatment while ensuring efficient degradation of VOCs has become an urgent problem to be solved in the treatment of oxygen-deficient organic waste gas.

[0052] Preferably, the reactor of the first reaction unit is filled with ferroelectric material.
[0053] Preferably, the ferroelectric material is a natural crystal and / or a synthetic crystal, wherein the natural crystal is at least one of barium titanate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium nitrite, and the synthetic crystal is a crystal with further enhanced polarization under a high voltage electric field obtained by modifying the natural crystal.
[0054] Preferably, the reactor of the second reaction unit is filled with a first transition metal oxide catalyst. In the first transition metal oxide catalyst, the active component is a transition metal oxide, wherein the transition metal is one or any combination of at least two of Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn, and the support is alumina, activated carbon, molecular sieve or MOFs.

During plasma discharge, they can react with NO and ozone generated in the first reaction unit, as well as with lattice oxygen in the transition metal oxide, to achieve VOCs degradation. Furthermore, the ozone provided by the ozone generator can be used to regenerate the transition metal oxide catalyst in the second reaction unit and allow for its alternating use; in the third reaction unit, NOx (such as N2O, NO, NO2, N2O3, N2O4, N2O5, etc.) and ozone generated or emitted during the VOCs degradation process in the second reaction unit can be decomposed into nitrogen and oxygen. Therefore, in this invention, NO and ozone are used instead of oxygen as active oxygen donors in the plasma catalytic degradation of VOCs, which improves the reaction efficiency. Moreover, by using lattice oxygen in transition metal oxides as active oxygen donors in the plasma catalytic degradation of VOCs under oxygen-deficient systems, and using ozone as a means to quickly replenish lattice oxygen, the problem of removing VOCs from oxygen-deficient waste gas without increasing impurities is solved.
[0057] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in: (1) Ozone and NO are used to replace oxygen, which can improve the oxygen utilization efficiency of the second reaction unit and further improve the VOCs degradation efficiency; (2) Ozone generator is used to replace the fan for oxygen supply, which reduces investment costs; the second reaction unit has a higher utilization efficiency of ozone than oxygen, and only a small amount of ozone is needed to achieve VOCs degradation and catalyst regeneration, which reduces operating costs; (3) Through the operation scheme provided by the present invention, VOCs in oxygen-deficient waste gas can be degraded at a lower operating cost and without changing the gas composition.

[0130] This invention is primarily used for the treatment of oxygen-deficient organic waste gas emitted from industries such as petroleum and chemical engineering, and is particularly suitable for removing VOCs from oxygen-deficient waste gas. Based on the principle of plasma catalytic reaction, ozone, NO, and lattice oxygen (transition metal oxides) are used instead of oxygen as the source of active oxygen for the reaction with VOCs on the catalyst surface, effectively improving the degradation efficiency of VOCs. Simultaneously, the blower used for oxygen supply is replaced by an ozone generator, significantly reducing treatment costs.
