Currently, domestic and international treatment methods mainly involve evaporation crystallization, incineration, ash flushing, natural evaporation ponds, and deep well injection, which are insufficient to truly achieve zero discharge of high-concentration organic wastewater at the terminal. The safe and efficient treatment and disposal of high-concentration, difficult-to-degrade organic wastewater, sludge, and hazardous organic waste discharged from industries such as petrochemicals, coal chemicals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and printing and dyeing are currently key, difficult, and critical issues in the environmental field, representing a significant demand for environmental pollution control and an urgent necessity for the survival and development of industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides.

The shell 5 is provided with a feed inlet 1, a gas phase product outlet 3 and a solid-liquid product outlet 4 communicating with the cavity. The gas phase feed inlet is located at the top of the shell and the solid-liquid product outlet is located at the bottom of the shell.

[0055] The chamber is used to induce supercritical water oxidation of organic waste liquid to obtain gaseous products and solid products including deposited salts adhering to the chamber wall 6.

[0056] A flushing assembly is installed in the cavity. The flushing assembly includes a hollow rotating shaft rotatably connected to the housing 5 and multiple branch pipes communicating with the side of the hollow rotating shaft. Each branch pipe has multiple oblique liquid outlets 12 that are opposite to the cavity wall 6 along the height direction. The oblique liquid outlets can be opened on the side opposite to the cavity wall, so that the flushing water forms a water mist and is sprayed obliquely to the cavity wall. The hollow rotating shaft is provided with a flushing liquid inlet 2.

[0057] The flushing fluid enters the hollow rotating shaft from the flushing fluid inlet 2 and is sprayed obliquely onto the cavity wall 6 through multiple oblique outlets 12 set on the branch pipe to form a water film to remove the deposited salt adhering to the cavity wall. At the same time, the reaction force of flushing the wall drives the flushing assembly to rotate in the cavity to achieve 360-degree treatment of the cavity wall.

[0058] To ensure sufficient contact between materials, in this invention, a material dispersion component connected to the feed inlet 1 is provided around the hollow rotating shaft in the cavity.

In this embodiment of the invention, only 15 oblique outlets on each branch pipe are provided as an example to illustrate the advantages of the invention, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0061] In this invention, the feed inlet 1 extends into the cavity to form a feed pipe 7. To ensure sufficient contact between the reactants, a hollow rotating shaft is fitted inside the feed pipe 7, with its top opening serving as a rinsing liquid inlet 2 and extending upwards beyond the feed pipe 7 for separate feeding. The annular gap formed between the bottom end of the feed pipe 7 and the hollow rotating shaft serves as a nozzle structure 8, which acts as a material dispersion component. The nozzle structure can be a commonly used nozzle structure in the prior art, such as a multi-point shower-like nozzle. This invention has no special requirements for this type and will not describe it in detail. After further atomization and uniform mixing through the nozzle structure, the material is sprayed into the supercritical reaction core area for complete reaction.

[0062] In this invention, the rinsing assembly is configured as a stirring paddle structure 10, the stirring shaft 9 of the stirring paddle structure 10 is formed as a hollow rotating shaft, and the paddle blade 11 of the stirring paddle structure 10 is formed as a branch pipe.

[0063] This invention can add commonly used components from the prior art as needed, such as control valves for feed inlets, rinsing liquid inlets, or solid-liquid product outlets, and commonly used temperature and pressure detection elements from the prior art in the reaction apparatus. This invention has no special requirements for these, and will not describe them in detail.

[0064] Another aspect of the present invention provides a supercritical water oxidation reaction method for treating organic waste liquid, the method being carried out in the supercritical water oxidation reaction apparatus of the present invention, and comprising the following:

[0065] A mixture containing organic waste liquid and oxidant is introduced into feed inlet 1. The mixture reacts under supercritical water oxidation conditions to obtain gaseous products and solid products containing deposited salts adhering to the cavity wall.

[0066] Simultaneously, flushing fluid is fed into the flushing fluid inlet 2. The flushing fluid enters the hollow rotating shaft and is sprayed obliquely onto the cavity wall 6 through multiple oblique outlets 12 set on the branch pipe, causing the flushing assembly to rotate and remove the deposited salt adhering to the cavity wall.

[0067] The solid product containing inorganic salts is redissolved in the subcritical region to form a solid-liquid product, which is discharged from the solid-liquid product outlet 4, and the gaseous product is discharged from the gaseous product outlet.

[0077] While the mixture is introduced, flushing liquid is fed into the flushing liquid inlet 2. The flushing liquid enters the hollow rotating shaft and is sprayed obliquely onto the cavity wall 6 through multiple inclined outlets 12 set on the branch pipe, causing the flushing assembly to rotate and remove the deposited salt adhering to the cavity wall. The solid phase product after the reaction settles to the lower subcritical zone by its own weight and then dissolves to form a concentrated salt liquid phase product, which is discharged from the lower solid-liquid product outlet. A small amount of solid phase product adhering to the low-temperature subcritical inner wall of the reactor is dissolved into a salt solution through the swirling liquid film formed by the flushing liquid and then flows to the lower solid-liquid product outlet for discharge.

[0078] In this invention, the rinsing solution is selected from water or an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate.

[0079] In this invention, the fuel is selected from at least one of methanol aqueous solution, ethanol aqueous solution or isopropanol aqueous solution. In the embodiments of this invention, only a fuel with a COD of 20000 mg / L is used as an example to illustrate the advantages of this invention, but this invention is not limited thereto.

[0088] In this invention, preferably, the regulator is selected from water, alkaline solution and acidic solution.

[0089] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the supercritical water oxidation reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst, which is selected from homogeneous catalysts and / or heterogeneous catalysts.

[0098] According to the present invention, it is understood that during the supercritical water oxidation reaction of the present invention, the reaction is an exothermic reaction, that is, the supercritical reaction zone is formed by exothermic reaction. As the reaction proceeds, the temperature of the reaction system will continuously increase in the early stage of the reaction until the supercritical reaction zone is formed stably. Other areas in the cavity are subcritical zones. Those skilled in the art can control the reaction temperature to 375-620°C using conventional technical means in the art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0099] The advantages of the present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0100] The following examples are as follows Figure 1 The supercritical water oxidation reaction is carried out in the apparatus shown. The apparatus includes a shell 5 and a cavity formed by the shell. The top of the shell is provided with a feed port 1 and a gaseous product outlet 3 that communicate with the cavity. The bottom of the shell is opened to form a gradually narrowing solid-liquid product outlet 4.

[0101] A flushing assembly is installed in the cavity. The flushing assembly is configured as a stirring paddle structure 10. The stirring shaft 9 of the stirring structure is configured as a hollow rotating shaft that is rotatably connected to the housing 5. The top opening of the hollow rotating shaft passes through the top of the housing and forms a flushing liquid inlet 2. The top is closed and the side is connected to multiple blades 11. The blades 11 are also configured as branch pipes that can flow flushing liquid. Each branch pipe extends along the height direction and has multiple oblique liquid outlets 12 opposite to the cavity wall 6 along the extension direction. The stirring shaft 9 is fitted with a feed pipe 7 that passes through the top of the housing. The top of the annular gap formed between the feed pipe and the hollow rotating shaft is configured as a feed inlet 1, and the bottom is configured as a nozzle structure 8.

[0102] The method includes: 1) introducing preheated fuel into the feed inlet 1, where the fuel comes into contact with oxygen in the cavity and burns, releasing heat to form a supercritical reaction zone 13 that can provide supercritical water oxidation reaction conditions for step 2);

[0103] 2) Switch the fuel introduced into inlet 1 to a mixture containing organic waste liquid and oxidant, and at the same time introduce flushing liquid into flushing liquid inlet 2.

[0104] Example 1

[0105] like Figure 1 As shown, a preheated methanol-water solution with a COD of 20000 mg / L at 353°C is injected into the chamber through the feed inlet 1 and the nozzle structure 8, where it comes into contact with oxygen in the chamber and undergoes a supercritical water oxidation reaction. At the same time, heat is released to form a supercritical reaction zone 13. The pressure at the feed inlet is 22-25 MPa and the temperature is 350°C.

[0106] The exothermic oxidation of the fuel creates a supercritical reaction zone 13 in the upper part of the cavity, with a reaction temperature of 450–550°C and a pressure of 22–25 MPa.

[0107] Then the feed is switched to organic wastewater from catalyst production in petrochemical enterprises (wastewater COD is 5000 mg / L, TDS is 10000 mg / L) and a mixture of hydrogen peroxide solution as oxidant, isopropanol as combustion aid and sodium bicarbonate as regulator. After adjustment, the pH value of the mixture is kept at about 7 and the mass fraction of organic matter is kept at about 3%. The mixture is sprayed into the supercritical reaction zone 13 through the feed pipe 7 and the nozzle structure 8, where a supercritical water oxidation reaction occurs, forming gaseous reaction products and solid-liquid reaction products and releasing heat.

[0108] Simultaneously, a stream of water is introduced into the inlet pipe 2, passes through the hollow stirring shaft 9 to the impeller 11, and forms a water mist through the inclined outlet 12. The water mist is then sprayed obliquely onto the cavity wall 6 to form a water film. The reaction force drives the stirring impeller structure 10 to rotate, thereby removing the deposited salt attached to the cavity wall 6. The inclined outlet is at a 30° angle downwards from the cavity wall. Each branch pipe has 15 inclined outlets, which are distributed sparsely at the top and densely at the bottom. From top to bottom, the distance between the first and second outlets is a1, which is 10 mm; the distance between the second and third outlets is a2, which is 9.5 mm, and so on. From top to bottom, the cross-sectional area of ​​the inclined outlets on each impeller 11 gradually increases. The aperture of the first outlet is r1, which is 0.1 mm; the aperture of the second outlet is r2, which is 0.11 mm, and so on.

[0109] The gaseous product after the reaction rises to the top outlet 3 and is discharged from the system; the solid product after the reaction sinks to the lower subcritical zone in the reactor by its own weight and then dissolves to form a concentrated salt liquid product, which is discharged from the lower solid-liquid product outlet 4; in this embodiment, the catalyst is selected from copper sulfate.

[0110] The final treatment result is that the TDS content in the condensate (referring to demineralized water with essentially COD removed) after condensation of the gas phase outlet product is 10 mg / L, and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) is... Cr The content is 0 mg / L, the TDS of the bottom solid-liquid product outlet material is 150,000 mg / L, and the COD is 0 mg / L. Cr The content is 0 mg / L.

[0111] Example 2

[0112] like Figure 1 As shown, a fuel isopropanol aqueous solution with a COD of 20000 mg / L, preheated to 360℃, is injected into the cavity through the feed inlet 1 and the nozzle structure 8, and comes into contact with the oxygen in the cavity to undergo a supercritical water oxidation reaction. At the same time, heat is released to form a supercritical reaction zone 13. The pressure at the feed inlet is 22-25 MPa and the temperature is 350℃.

[0113] The exothermic oxidation of the fuel creates a supercritical reaction zone 13 in the upper part of the cavity, with a reaction temperature of 450–550°C and a pressure of 22–25 MPa.

[0114] Then the feed is switched to ethylene alkali residue wastewater from petrochemical enterprises (COD is 10000 mg / L, TDS is 25000 mg / L) and a mixture of oxygen as oxidant, isopropanol as combustion aid and water as regulator (after adjustment, the pH value of the mixture is around 7 and the mass fraction of organic matter is maintained at around 3%). It is sprayed into the supercritical reaction zone 13 through the feed pipe 7 and the nozzle structure 8, where a supercritical water oxidation reaction occurs, forming gaseous reaction products and solid-liquid reaction products and releasing heat.

[0115] Simultaneously, a stream of water is introduced into the inlet pipe 2, passes through the hollow stirring shaft 9 to the impeller 11, and forms a water mist through the inclined outlet 12. The water mist is then sprayed obliquely onto the cavity wall 6 to form a water film. The reaction force drives the stirring impeller structure 10 to rotate, thereby removing the deposited salt attached to the cavity wall 6. The inclined outlet is at a 20° angle downwards from the cavity wall. Each branch pipe has 15 inclined outlets, which are distributed sparsely at the top and densely at the bottom. From top to bottom, the distance between the first and second outlets is a1, which is 10 mm; the distance between the second and third outlets is a2, which is 9.5 mm, and so on. From top to bottom, the cross-sectional area of ​​the inclined outlets on each impeller 11 gradually increases. The aperture of the first outlet is r1, which is 0.1 mm; the aperture of the second outlet is r2, which is 0.11 mm, and so on.

[0116] The gaseous product after the reaction rises to the top outlet 3 and is discharged from the system; the solid product after the reaction sinks to the lower subcritical zone in the reactor by its own weight and then dissolves to form a concentrated salt liquid product, which is discharged from the lower solid-liquid product outlet 4; in this embodiment, the catalyst is selected from sodium carbonate.

[0117] The final treatment results are as follows: the TDS content in the condensate (referring to the demineralized water with basically removed COD) after condensation of the gas phase outlet product is 10 mg / L, the COD content is 0 mg / L, and the TDS and COD content of the bottom solid-liquid product outlet material are 200,000 mg / L and 0 mg / L, respectively.

[0118] Example 3

[0119] like Figure 1 As shown, a fuel isopropanol aqueous solution with a COD of 20000 mg / L, preheated to 360℃, is injected into the cavity through the feed inlet 1 and the nozzle structure 8, and comes into contact with the oxygen in the cavity to undergo a supercritical water oxidation reaction. At the same time, heat is released to form a supercritical reaction zone 13. The pressure at the feed inlet is 22-25 MPa and the temperature is 350℃.

[0120] The exothermic oxidation of the fuel creates a supercritical reaction zone 13 in the upper part of the cavity, with a reaction temperature of 450–550°C and a pressure of 22–25 MPa.

[0121] Then the feed is switched to a mixture of refractory evaporation mother liquor from the end of water treatment in a coal chemical enterprise (COD of 20,000 mg / L and TDS of 50,000 mg / L) and an oxidant of hydrogen peroxide solution, a combustion aid of ethanol, and a regulator of sodium bicarbonate (adjusted to make the pH of the mixture around 7 and the mass fraction of organic matter around 3%). The mixture is then sprayed into the supercritical reaction zone 13 through the feed pipe 7 and the nozzle structure 8, where a supercritical water oxidation reaction occurs, forming gaseous reaction products and solid-liquid reaction products and releasing heat.

[0122] Simultaneously, an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate is introduced into the inlet pipe 2, passes through the hollow stirring shaft 9 to the impeller 11, and forms a water mist through the inclined outlet 12. This mist is then sprayed obliquely onto the cavity wall 6 to form a water film, and the reaction force drives the stirring impeller structure 10 to rotate, thereby removing the deposited salt adhering to the cavity wall 6. The inclined outlet is at a 45° angle downwards from the cavity wall. Each branch pipe has 15 inclined outlets, which are distributed sparsely at the top and densely at the bottom. From top to bottom, the distance between the first and second outlets is a1, which is 10 mm; the distance between the second and third outlets is a2, which is 9.5 mm, and so on. From top to bottom, the cross-sectional area of ​​the inclined outlets on each impeller 11 gradually increases. The aperture of the first outlet is r1, which is 0.1 mm; the aperture of the second outlet is r2, which is 0.11 mm, and so on.

[0123] The gaseous product after the reaction rises to the top outlet 3 and is discharged from the system; the solid product after the reaction sinks to the lower subcritical zone in the reactor by its own weight and then dissolves to form a concentrated salt liquid product, which is discharged from the lower solid-liquid product outlet 4; in this embodiment, the heterogeneous catalyst active component is selected from Ru.

[0124] The final treatment result is that the TDS content in the condensate (referring to demineralized water with essentially COD removed) after condensation of the gas phase outlet product is 10 mg / L, and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) is... Cr The content is 0 mg / L, the TDS of the bottom solid-liquid product outlet material is 250,000 mg / L, and the COD is 0 mg / L. Cr The content is 0 mg / L.

[0125] Example 4

[0126] Unlike Example 1, the inclined liquid outlets are horizontally arranged and have the same cross-sectional area, and multiple inclined liquid outlets are evenly distributed on the branch pipe.

[0127] The final treatment result is that the TDS content in the condensate (referring to demineralized water with essentially COD removed) after condensation of the gas phase outlet product is 250 mg / L, and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) is... CrThe content is 350 mg / L, the TDS of the bottom solid-liquid product outlet material is 45000 mg / L, and the COD is... Cr The content is 450 mg / L.

[0128] Comparative Example 1

[0129] Unlike Example 1, this study uses a conventional tubular reactor from the prior art in a saline wastewater treatment system and method disclosed in CN110963557A. Example 2 of this system shows that after treating saline wastewater with a TDS value of 30000 mg / L and a COD value of 1000 mg / L, the final treated gaseous effluent (referring to demineralized water with essentially removed COD) contains low TDS and low COD. Cr The content was not specified; the TDS of the bottom solid-liquid product outlet material was 200,000 mg / L, and the COD was... Cr The content is 0 mg / L.

[0130] The comparison shows that the COD concentration of the treated wastewater is lower, and the salt concentration rate is also lower (only 6.67 times concentrated).

[0131] This invention enables efficient degradation of COD in high-concentration organic waste liquid and simultaneous salt concentration, achieving reduction, harmlessness and resource utilization of high-concentration organic waste liquid, effectively preventing salt deposition and blockage, improving operational safety, and reducing equipment cost and operating cost.
