Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of resource utilization technology of organic waste, and relates to a supercritical water gasification hydrogen production technology for organic waste, and particularly to a continuous two-step treatment system and method for supercritical water desorption-gasification of oily sludge. Background Technology
[0002] The supercritical water oily sludge treatment system is designed based on supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) technology. This technology is an emerging green water treatment technology that has been developed in recent years, and it is especially suitable for the treatment of oily sludge.
[0003] In the supercritical state, water (temperature T > 374℃, pressure p > 24MPa) possesses unique physical and chemical properties, such as high diffusivity, strong fluidity, and miscibility with nonpolar substances like oxygen. This allows organic matter in wastewater to react with hydroxyl radicals in an oxygen-rich supercritical medium, transforming it into inorganic small-molecule compounds such as H2, CO2, and salts. Because there is no resistance to heat and mass transfer between phases, this technology significantly increases the reaction rate.
[0004] When treating oily sludge, supercritical water oxidation technology can completely decompose the organic matter in the sludge, including oils and other harmful substances. This treatment method is not only highly efficient but also achieves thorough treatment without secondary pollution; some pollutants can even be treated with energy self-compensation. Therefore, it is considered one of the most advanced technologies for treating waste and hazardous materials to date.
[0005] Patent CN101058404A proposes a supercritical water fluidized bed reactor, which enables efficient gasification of organic waste in a supercritical water environment.
