Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bamboo processing equipment technology, and in particular to a hydrothermal conversion device for bamboo processing wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows quickly, is widely distributed, and has a high yield. Bamboo dyeing is a way to process bamboo products, which can effectively improve the weather resistance and aesthetics of bamboo, but it also produces wastewater containing organic nitrogen.
[0003] Existing research shows that supercritical hydrothermal oxidation can be used to treat bamboo heat treatment wastewater, achieving a degradation rate of over 95% for organic nitrogen substances. This is a rapid and efficient treatment method for this type of wastewater.
[0004] However, supercritical water requires pressures exceeding 220 atmospheres and temperatures exceeding 374°C. These conditions are quite demanding. In laboratory settings, a thick-walled capillary quartz tube is used, sealed at both ends via a hydrogen-flame oxygen generator, and then heated in a high-temperature furnace to achieve supercritical hydrothermal conditions. This method processes samples in milliliters and is primarily used for laboratory research. Another method uses a pressure-resistant metal vessel to generate supercritical hydrothermal conditions, but this type of equipment suffers from difficulties in sealing the vessel body and lid. Since supercritical hydrothermal temperatures exceed 374°C, most polymer materials cannot withstand such high temperatures. Therefore, existing equipment generally employs two methods to address this: one is to design a copper metal hard sealing ring between the vessel body and lid, utilizing the good ductility of copper to achieve a seal. However, copper layers lack elastic recovery, so the sealing effect deteriorates drastically after repeated use. The other method uses a graphite gasket between the vessel body and lid for sealing, but under high temperature and pressure, graphite gaskets are often disposable components and are expensive.
[0005] In summary, the sealing of the vessel body and lid has become a bottleneck problem in the supercritical hydrothermal process for wastewater conversion and utilization. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydrothermal conversion device for bamboo processing wastewater to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Taking bamboo processing dyeing wastewater as the treatment target, it achieves the goal of continuous and large-capacity treatment through supercritical hydrothermal oxidation. The entire hydrothermal reactor body can easily achieve the sealing target of supercritical hydrothermal treatment and can be reused multiple times, which is green and pollution-free to the environment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydrothermal conversion device for bamboo processing wastewater to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Taking bamboo processing dyeing wastewater as the treatment target, it achieves the goal of continuous and large-capacity treatment through supercritical hydrothermal oxidation. The entire hydrothermal reactor body can easily achieve the sealing target of supercritical hydrothermal treatment and can be reused multiple times, which is green and pollution-free to the environment.
[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a hydrothermal conversion device for bamboo processing wastewater, including a vessel body and a vessel cover 5; the bottom of the vessel body is open, and the vessel cover 5 is located at the open bottom of the vessel body to seal the bottom of the vessel body; an ozone generator is installed at the top inside the vessel body for oxidizing organic nitrogen chemicals in the wastewater under supercritical hydrothermal conditions; a heating furnace 2 is installed in the upper middle part of the outside of the vessel body for heating the wastewater inside the vessel body; an insulation sleeve 3 is installed in the middle of the outside of the vessel body; a cold water sleeve 4 is installed in the lower middle part of the outside of the vessel body; and a feeding system is also included, with the discharge end of the feeding system penetrating the vessel cover 5 and communicating with the inside of the vessel body.
[0027] In this specific embodiment, the feeding system includes a booster pump 7 and a feeding tank 10; the inlet of the booster pump 7 is connected to the feeding tank 10, and the outlet of the booster pump 7 is connected to the interior of the vessel body through a pipeline passing through the vessel cover 5. The feeding tank 10 is used to store wastewater, and the booster pump 7 is used to pass the wastewater into the vessel body and pressurize and maintain the pressure.
[0028] A pressure gauge 8 is installed at the bottom of the vessel lid 5. The pressure gauge 8 is used to detect the pressure inside the vessel.
[0029] A radiation-proof and convection baffle 12 is installed at the top of the insulation sleeve 3 inside the vessel. The radiation-proof and convection baffle 12 is made of silver-plated zinc plate. The radiation-proof and convection baffle 12 is used to prevent the energy transfer such as heat radiation and micro-convection between the water in the upper part of the vessel under supercritical conditions and the water in the middle part of the vessel.
[0030] The hydrothermal conversion device for bamboo processing wastewater in this embodiment also includes a storage system, which includes a storage tank 14 and a discharge pipe 11. One end of the discharge pipe 11 is located at the top of the vessel body, and the other end of the discharge pipe 11 extends downward along the inside of the vessel body, passes through the vessel cover 5, and is connected to the storage tank 14.
[0031] The hydrothermal conversion device for bamboo processing wastewater in this embodiment also includes a temperature sensor 9. The temperature sensor 9 extends through the lid 5 to the top of the inner part of the vessel. The temperature sensor 9 is used to measure the supercritical hydrothermal temperature at the top of the vessel.
[0032] The vessel body and the vessel cover 5 are connected by fastening bolts 6. The cooling water jacket 4 is provided with a circulating water inlet and outlet 13. The cooling water jacket 4 is used to reduce the temperature at the bottom of the vessel body to below 220°C, so that polytetrafluoroethylene polymer material can be used as the sealing material between the vessel body and the vessel cover 5.
[0033] The hydrothermal conversion device for bamboo processing wastewater in this embodiment operates as follows:
[0034] First, bamboo wastewater is filled into the entire reactor using booster pump 7. Heating furnace 2 is used to heat the top of the reactor. Temperature sensor 9 monitors the temperature of the upper water body (H1 section) within the reactor, maintaining this temperature at 375-380℃. After the reactor is filled with aqueous liquid, the pressure rises to over 22.1 MPa within the 375-380℃ temperature range, achieving supercritical water treatment. The aqueous phase within the reactor is a continuous whole. Although radiation-proof and convection-proof baffles are installed, the overall temperature of the continuous liquid phase continues to rise. The temperature of section H1 is 375-380℃, section H2 is 330-220℃, and section H3, due to the cooling water jacket 4, has a temperature of 210-180℃.
[0035] Ozone is generated through partial hydrolysis in the upper part of the reactor via an inductive ozone generator 1, enabling supercritical hydrothermal oxidation of wastewater in section H1 within the reactor. This rapidly converts organic matter into CO2, H2O, N2, and other harmless small molecules. The reacted water is then discharged into storage tank 14 via discharge pipe 11, while wastewater from feed tank 10 is replenished into the reactor via booster pump 7, maintaining a pressure above 22.1 MPa. Through continuous pumping of wastewater, preheated by H2 and H3, the water enters the supercritical hydrothermal section H1, realizing a continuous supercritical hydrothermal oxidation reaction of the wastewater. The temperature at the bottom of the reactor (H3) is maintained below 220℃, significantly reducing the temperature resistance requirements of the reactor's seals. Ordinary polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and other polymeric materials can be used as sealing rings, greatly improving the equipment's versatility and ease of use.
