Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a circulating wastewater treatment system based on ozone oxidation. Background Technology

[0002] Ozone oxidation, as an advanced oxidation technology, has been widely used in water treatment. Ozone possesses strong oxidizing properties; its oxidation potential (2.07 mV) in acidic environments is second only to fluorine (3.06 mV). It primarily removes organic matter through the direct oxidation and decomposition of ozone molecules to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, direct ozone oxidation is selective, and its effect on the oxidative degradation of certain pollutants is not significant. ROS includes various forms such as hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, and superoxide anion radicals, all of which have oxidation potentials exceeding those of ozone molecules, especially hydroxyl radicals, whose oxidation potential can reach 2.80 mV. However, ROS have very short half-lives, and the efficiency of generating ROS from ozone molecules alone is low, requiring highly active catalysts for rapid and stable generation. Therefore, catalytic oxidation technology that generates ROS from ozone has become a current research hotspot.

[0003] Ozone catalysis is mainly achieved through homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Homogeneous catalysis uses soluble metal ions or oxidants as catalysts for the ozone reaction, commonly using Mn. 2+ Fe 2+ Co 2+ Cr 3+ Transition metal ions and oxidants such as H₂O₂ promote ROS generation. Heterogeneous catalysis uses solid catalysts where ozone is adsorbed onto the catalyst surface to generate ROS. ROS is then used to oxidize organic matter also adsorbed on the catalyst surface, or to oxidize organic matter in the surrounding aquatic environment through diffusion. Therefore, heterogeneous catalysis relies on characteristic functional groups or acidic sites on the catalyst surface; these catalytically active sites are the main adsorption or reaction centers. Consequently, related research focuses on supported catalysts to improve the dispersion and stability of catalytically active sites. However, this is still limited by the catalyst's specific surface area and pore size, affecting the mass transfer between ozone molecules and the solid catalyst, thus impacting catalytic oxidation efficiency. In homogeneous catalysis, the catalyst, existing in ionic form, can mix thoroughly with ozone molecules, and the effects of contact area and mass transfer can be ignored to some extent. However, complex separation techniques are required to mitigate secondary pollution of the system by certain catalytic ions.

[0004] Besides the properties and morphology of the catalyst affecting ozone catalytic efficiency, the solubility of ozone molecules also influences the degree of contact between liquid ozone molecules and the catalyst. Currently, ozone catalytic oxidation is mainly achieved through aeration, where ozone gas is introduced into the reaction tank via a blower. As the bubbles rise, they react with the catalyst and water pollutants at the bottom, thus removing pollutants. However, due to the low solubility and slow mass transfer rate of ozone in water, ozone utilization is low. Therefore, to achieve the treatment target, excessive ozone is often required, increasing operating costs and causing environmental impacts due to excessive ozone release. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide a circulating wastewater treatment system based on ozone oxidation. This system improves the solubility of ozone molecules in water by increasing the gas-liquid contact and enhances the mass transfer between ozone molecules and solid catalysts by forming micro-nano bubbles, thereby improving catalytic oxidation efficiency and significantly increasing the degradation rate of organic matter in wastewater.

[0006] Technical solution: The circulating wastewater treatment system of the present invention includes a wastewater equalization tank, an ozone generation system, an ozone pressurization system, a pressurized dissolved gas tank, a reaction tank, and a catalyst circulation system; the pressurized dissolved gas tank is provided with multiple sets of liquid spray nozzles at the top and multiple sets of gas spray nozzles at the bottom, and a collection tank is provided below the gas spray nozzles;

[0007] The wastewater in the wastewater equalization tank is pressurized and then enters the pressurized dissolved gas tank through the liquid spray port at the top. The ozone generated by the ozone generation system is pressurized by the ozone pressurization system and then enters the pressurized dissolved gas tank through the gas spray port at the bottom. The pressurized wastewater and pressurized ozone form a convection system inside the pressurized dissolved gas tank. The pressurized dissolved gas tank is equipped with a contact zone to promote the contact between ozone and wastewater. The convection gas and water come into contact in the contact zone to form dissolved gas water, which falls into the collection tank at the bottom of the pressurized dissolved gas tank.

[0008] The bottom of the reaction tank is equipped with a catalyst release port and multiple dissolved gas water release ports, which are arranged in a ring around the catalyst release port. Dissolved gas water in the collection tank enters the reaction tank through the dissolved gas water release port, and catalyst particles enter the reaction tank through the catalyst release port. The top of the reaction tank is equipped with a catalyst particle and water separation device. The separated water is discharged from the reaction tank through the water outlet on the side wall, and the separated catalyst particles are discharged from the reaction tank through the material outlet on the side wall and enter the catalyst circulation system.

[0009] The ozone generation system includes a pure oxygen storage tank and an ozone generator; pure oxygen is used as the gas source to ensure ozone concentration, the ozone generator has an intake flow rate of 3-5 L / min, and the ozone concentration valve of the ozone generator is adjusted to control the outlet ozone concentration to 30-40 mg / L.

[0010] The ozone pressurization system includes an air compressor, a pneumatic plunger pump, and an ozone storage tank. The compressed air generated by the air compressor drives the ozone gas as a plunger pump, compressing the ozone pressure to 0.4-0.6 MPa and storing it in the ozone storage tank. The pressure is maintained at 0.4-0.6 MPa, and then the ozone enters the pressurized dissolved gas tank through the gas spray port at the bottom of the pressurized dissolved gas tank. The gas flow rate is 1-5 L / min.

[0011] Ozone gas is pressurized using a plunger pump, and the pressurized ozone gas and pressurized wastewater come into convective contact within a pressurized dissolved gas tank. According to Henry's Law, the saturated concentration of ozone gas in the liquid phase is directly proportional to the gas phase pressure. In this invention, the pressurized dissolved gas tank has a pressure of 0.6 MPa, while the conventional aeration release pressure is generally 0.3 MPa, which increases the liquid phase solubility. Simultaneously, because the gas and wastewater are in direct contact, the high specific heat capacity of the water can alleviate the heat generation during gas pressurization, preventing the accelerated self-decomposition of ozone at high temperatures. Furthermore, the pressurized dissolved gas tank is equipped with a contact zone to promote the contact between ozone and wastewater. This structure increases the turbulence at the gas-liquid contact surface. Based on the gas-liquid mass transfer equation, increasing the turbulence reduces the contact area between the gas and liquid phases, thereby increasing the gas-liquid mass transfer rate of ozone molecules, accelerating the transfer of ozone molecules from the gas phase to the liquid phase, and improving the solubility of ozone molecules in the water.

[0012] In this process, pressurized wastewater and pressurized ozone form a convection system within a pressurized dissolved air tank, which is pressurized to 0.5 MPa. The contact zone, designed to enhance the contact between ozone and wastewater, is at least two-thirds the height of the pressurized dissolved air tank. This contact zone includes two 316 stainless steel wire meshes fixed to the side walls of the tank, and multiple elliptical chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) balls placed between the wire meshes. The stacked PVC balls create gaps, allowing gas and water to pass only through these gaps, thus maximizing the contact between ozone and wastewater. The dissolved air falls into a collection tank at the bottom of the pressurized dissolved air tank, which is connected to the bottom of the reaction tank via a pipe. The pressurized dissolved air is released through a release port at the bottom of the reaction tank. The PVC balls fill approximately two-thirds of the contact zone's volume.

[0013] The system comprises 6 to 8 dissolved air water release ports, arranged in a circular pattern around the catalyst release port. Under pressure differential, the pressurized dissolved air water rapidly forms micro- and nano-bubbles. These bubbles contact the microcrystalline catalyst, where a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the catalysis oxidizes and removes COD from the wastewater. On one hand, the small particle size of the formed micro- and nano-bubbles results in a longer hydraulic retention time than conventional aeration methods, allowing for sufficient contact with the catalyst and continuous ROS generation. On the other hand, as the micro- and nano-bubbles rise, they fluidize the microcrystalline catalyst, causing it to slowly ascend to the top of the reaction tank.

[0014] The separation device is a scraper installed on the top of the reaction tank. The scraper is connected to an external drive mechanism and rotates under the drive mechanism. The height of the lower edge of the scraper is the same as the height of the water outlet of the reaction tank. The scraper scrapes the microcrystalline catalyst on the water surface into the catalyst collection tank connected to the discharge port on the side wall of the reaction tank.

[0015] The catalyst circulation system comprises a catalyst collection tank, a catalyst cleaning tank, and a catalyst circulation tank connected in sequence. The bottom of the collection tank is funnel-shaped, and the catalyst enters the center of the catalyst cleaning tank from the bottom of the funnel. The cleaning tank has a spiral structure inside. After cleaning, the catalyst enters the catalyst circulation tank and is then pumped into the catalyst release port by a screw pump (the catalyst is in a solid-liquid mixed state after cleaning; pumping the catalyst particles with a screw pump achieves better solid-liquid separation and prevents damage to the catalyst particles). At the release port, the microcrystalline catalyst mixes and contacts with pressurized dissolved air water, continuously promoting the generation of ROS during the floating process. When it reaches the top of the reaction tank, it is scraped by a scraper to the catalyst collection tank, thus realizing the circulation of the microcrystalline catalyst.

[0016] The reaction tank is equipped with a baffle at the outlet to prevent catalyst from overflowing; the treated water flows out of the reaction tank through the outlet on the side wall.

[0017] The preparation method of the microcrystalline catalyst includes the following steps:

[0018] (1) Alumina and quartz sand are crushed and ground separately, and 200-300 mesh grinding media are screened out of each. Alumina powder and quartz sand powder are mixed at a mass ratio of 30:70 to obtain a mixture.

[0019] (2) Using carbon powder as a pore-forming agent, the mixture is mixed with carbon powder at a mass ratio of 25 to 30:1 to obtain a premix, and water is added to make it into a slurry; the mass ratio of water to premix is ​​104:100.

[0020] (3) Porous ceramic sphere preforms were prepared by pelletizing: During the forming process, a binder solution was sprayed into the slurry in the pelletizing machine to ensure that the preforms had good mechanical strength; the slurry material was placed in the pelletizer, and the binder solution was sprayed into the pelletizer every 5 seconds. Granulation was stopped after fine particles were formed (observe the changes in the material inside the pelletizer, and stop granulation after the flowing slurry was transformed into granules); preforms with a mesh size of 8-10 (1.7-2.4 mm) were screened out, placed in a cool and ventilated place to air dry naturally for 24 hours, and then placed in a constant temperature drying oven at 110℃ for 12 hours to dry.

[0021] (4) The dried body is placed in a muffle furnace for firing. First, the temperature inside the muffle furnace is raised to 500-600℃ and held at this temperature for 2 hours. Then, the temperature is raised to 1000-1200℃ and held for 2 hours. After turning off the muffle furnace, it is naturally cooled to room temperature and placed in a dry environment for 24 hours to obtain a porous ceramic body.

[0022] (5) The heterogeneous ozone catalyst was prepared by impregnation method: The porous ceramic preform from step (4) was impregnated in the active component solution and shaken in a shaker at a speed of 150-200 r / min for 12 h to reach adsorption equilibrium; after filtration, it was dried in an oven at 110-120℃ and then calcined in a muffle furnace at 550-600℃ for 1 h and aged for 24 h to obtain the microcrystalline catalyst; wherein, the active component solution is a mixed solution of ferric nitrate and manganese nitrate; the volume ratio of the porous ceramic preform to the mixed solution is 1:1.

[0023] In step (2), the granulator rotates at a speed of about 500 to 1000 r / min, and the binder solution is one of the following: a polyvinyl alcohol solution with a mass concentration of 5% to 20%, a polyacrylamide solution with a mass concentration of 0.1% to 1%, or a hydroxyethyl cellulose solution with a mass concentration of 1% to 3%; or any combination of the above.

[0024] The wastewater treatment system of this invention mixes pressurized wastewater with ozone and releases it in a reaction tank coupled with a microcrystalline catalyst. The microcrystalline catalyst is fluidized under the action of micro-nano bubbles and floats to the surface under the action of air flotation, and is then scraped to the collection tank by a surface scraper. The micro-nano bubbles come into contact with the microcrystalline catalyst to generate active oxygen species (ROS), which fully degrades the organic matter in the wastewater.

[0025] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant effects:

[0026] (1) In the reaction vessel of the present invention, the pressurized dissolved gas water release port is arranged in a circular shape, and the center point is provided with a circulating microcrystalline catalyst release port. The pressurized dissolved gas water can fully drive the catalyst to move to the top in a fluidized state. On the one hand, the micro-nano bubbles have a long residence time in the water and can fully contact the catalyst in the time dimension. On the other hand, under the fluidized state, ozone and catalyst can continuously contact the top of the reaction vessel while enhancing mass transfer, and fully contact the catalyst in the spatial dimension and release ROS, thereby improving ozone utilization and catalytic oxidation efficiency, and significantly improving the degradation rate of organic matter in wastewater. This achieves both the degree of contact between ozone and catalyst under homogeneous catalysis and the recyclability of catalyst under heterogeneous catalysis.

[0027] (2) This invention promotes ozone gas dissolution under pressure and makes full use of the flotation effect under pressure release to enhance mass transfer and catalyst recovery; the microcrystalline catalyst combined with the dispersant enhances particle dispersion, so that the insoluble solid catalyst is uniformly dispersed in the liquid as a dispersion or suspension in the liquid. Under the floating effect of micro and nano bubbles, the catalyst floats to the surface and is scraped to the collection tank by a scraper to realize the recycling of the microcrystalline catalyst.

[0028] (3) In this invention, alumina and quartz sand are used as ceramic matrix materials. The matrix materials are fully mixed by pelletizing to ensure uniform particle size. A binder is added to enhance the adhesion of the powdered aggregate. After screening out the target particle size embryos, high-temperature sintering is carried out to ensure that the particle size range is consistent, which can avoid subsequent particle fluidization stratification or local eddy currents. Pores will be generated during the ceramic sintering process, but too high a temperature will cause the pores to close, and too low a temperature will reduce the strength of the ceramic. By adding carbon powder as a pore-forming agent, the carbon powder can be combusted and gasified in a high-temperature environment to expand into a porous structure inside the melt, ensuring the operating strength of the particles in the fluidized state.

[0029] (4) In this invention, iron and manganese metal oxides are loaded onto porous ceramics by impregnation, and two transition metals are introduced to form a multi-component alloy at the atomic scale. The Si-O-Mn and Si-O-Fe coordination structures formed complement each other to provide electron-rich centers for the adsorption of ozone molecules. This makes the catalyst have more oxygen vacancies and higher electron transfer capacity, thereby improving the catalytic performance. The small particle size and large specific surface area of ​​porous ceramics, as well as the more oxygen vacancies and surface hydroxyl groups formed after loading, make the porous ceramic catalyst have high strength and strong catalytic activity.

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the circulating wastewater treatment system of the present invention includes a wastewater equalization tank, an ozone generation system, an ozone pressurization system, a pressurized dissolved gas tank, a reaction tank, and a catalyst circulation system. The pressurized dissolved gas tank has multiple sets of liquid spray nozzles at the top and multiple sets of gas spray nozzles at the bottom, with a collection tank below the gas spray nozzles. Wastewater from the wastewater equalization tank is pressurized and enters the pressurized dissolved gas tank through the liquid spray nozzles at the top. Ozone generated by the ozone generation system is pressurized by the ozone pressurization system and enters the pressurized dissolved gas tank through the gas spray nozzles at the bottom. The pressurized wastewater and pressurized ozone form a convection system within the pressurized dissolved gas tank. The pressurized dissolved gas tank is equipped with a process to promote contact between ozone and wastewater. In the contact zone, the convective gas and water come into contact to form dissolved gas water, which falls into the collection tank at the bottom of the pressurized dissolved gas tank. The bottom of the reaction tank is equipped with a catalyst release port and multiple dissolved gas water release ports, which are arranged in a circular pattern around the catalyst release port. The dissolved gas water in the collection tank enters the reaction tank from the dissolved gas water release port, and the catalyst particles enter the reaction tank from the catalyst release port. The top of the reaction tank is equipped with a catalyst particle and water separation device. The separated water is discharged from the reaction tank from the water outlet on the side wall, and the separated catalyst particles are discharged from the reaction tank from the material outlet on the side wall and enter the catalyst circulation system. A baffle is installed at the water outlet of the reaction tank to prevent catalyst overflow.

[0034] Among them, the wastewater is fed into the wastewater regulating tank through the inlet pipe, and the pH of the wastewater in the wastewater regulating tank is adjusted to 7-9. According to formulas (1) to (4), it can be seen that ROS is easily generated in this environment. Then, after being pressurized to 0.4-0.6 MPa by the water pump, it enters the pressurized dissolved gas tank through the liquid spray port at the top of the pressurized dissolved gas tank.

[0038] H2O+·O3 - →O2+·OH+OH - (4).

[0039] The ozone generation system includes a pure oxygen storage tank and an ozone generator. Pure oxygen is used as the gas source to ensure ozone concentration. The ozone generator's air intake is 3–5 L / min, and the ozone concentration valve is adjusted to control the outlet ozone concentration at 30–40 mg / L. The ozone pressurization system includes an air compressor, a pneumatic plunger pump, and an ozone storage tank. Compressed air generated by the air compressor is used as the driving gas for the plunger pump, compressing the ozone pressure to 0.4–0.6 MPa and storing it in the ozone storage tank. The pressure is maintained at 0.4–0.6 MPa, and then the ozone enters the pressurized dissolved gas tank through the gas spray port at the bottom, with a gas flow rate of 1–5 L / min. The plunger pump pressurizes the ozone gas, and the pressurized ozone gas and pressurized wastewater come into convective contact within the pressurized dissolved gas tank. According to Henry's Law, the liquid-phase saturation concentration of ozone gas is directly proportional to the gas-phase pressure. In this invention, the pressurized dissolved gas tank has a pressure of 0.6 MPa, while the conventional aeration release pressure is generally 0.3 MPa, which can increase the solubility in the liquid phase. At the same time, since the gas is in direct contact with the wastewater, the high specific heat capacity of the water can alleviate the heat generation during gas pressurization and avoid the aggravation of ozone self-decomposition at high temperatures. On the other hand, the pressurized dissolved gas tank is equipped with a contact zone to promote the contact between ozone and wastewater. Its structure can increase the turbulence at the gas-liquid contact surface. Based on the gas-liquid mass transfer equation, increasing the degree of turbulence can reduce the contact area between the gas and liquid phases, thereby increasing the gas-liquid mass transfer rate of ozone molecules, accelerating the transfer of ozone gas phase molecules to the liquid phase, and improving the solubility of ozone molecules in water.

[0040] The system comprises 6 to 8 dissolved air water release ports, arranged in a circular pattern around the catalyst release port. Under pressure differential, the pressurized dissolved air water rapidly forms micro- and nano-bubbles. These bubbles contact the microcrystalline catalyst, where a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the catalysis oxidizes and removes COD from the wastewater. On one hand, the small particle size of the formed micro- and nano-bubbles results in a longer hydraulic retention time than conventional aeration methods, allowing for sufficient contact with the catalyst and continuous ROS generation. On the other hand, as the micro- and nano-bubbles rise, they fluidize the microcrystalline catalyst, causing it to slowly ascend to the top of the reaction tank.

[0041] The separation device is a scraper installed on the top of the reaction tank. The scraper is connected to an external drive mechanism and rotates under the drive mechanism. The height of the lower edge of the scraper is the same as the height of the water outlet of the reaction tank. The scraper scrapes the microcrystalline catalyst on the water surface into the catalyst collection tank connected to the discharge port on the side wall of the reaction tank.

[0042] The catalyst circulation system comprises a catalyst collection tank, a catalyst cleaning tank, and a catalyst circulation tank connected in sequence. The bottom of the collection tank is funnel-shaped, and the catalyst enters the center point of the catalyst cleaning tank from the bottom of the funnel. The interior of the cleaning tank has a spiral structure, and the catalyst flows along the spiral after entering the center point, which can reduce mutual collisions between catalysts during the cleaning process and extend its service life. After cleaning, the catalyst enters the catalyst circulation tank and is then pumped into the catalyst release port by a screw pump. The microcrystalline catalyst mixes and contacts with pressurized dissolved air water at the release port, continuously promoting the generation of ROS during the floating process. When it reaches the top of the reaction tank, it is scraped by a scraper to the catalyst collection tank, realizing the circulation of the microcrystalline catalyst.

[0122] Example 7

[0123] For the pre-treated effluent from a dyeing and printing factory in Wuxi City, with a COD of 188 mg / L, pH = 7.3, and color (dilution factor) of 50 times, a conventional ozone oxidation reaction column was used for decolorization and deep treatment, specifically as follows:

[0124] Step 1: Place the microcrystalline catalyst from Example 1 into the ozone oxidation reaction column, filling it to a height of 1 / 2 of the column.

[0125] Step 2: Pass wastewater into the reaction column from the top, and submerge the catalyst to 5cm above the top.

[0126] Step 3: Open the valve of the pure oxygen storage tank, adjust the ozone generator intake to 5L / min, and adjust the ozone generator current intensity to control the theoretical ozone concentration at the outlet to 36mg / L;

[0127] Step 4: Adjust the ozone generator outlet flow rate to 2L / min, and let the ozone gas enter the gas release port at the bottom of the reaction column;

[0128] Step 5: The generated ozone bubbles rise to the top of the reaction column, and in the process come into contact with the wastewater on the catalyst surface;

[0129] Step 6: After running for 30 minutes, take a sample from the side sampling port of the reaction column. The test results show that the COD of the effluent is 142 mg / L, the removal rate is 24.4%, and the color (dilution factor) is 32 times.

[0130] As demonstrated in Example 7, this invention enhances the solubility of ozone molecules and strengthens the mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases by pressurizing dissolved gas. Furthermore, by combining this with a self-made microcrystalline catalyst, a near-homogeneous system is formed in a fluidized bed, allowing ozone and the catalyst to fully contact and release reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoting the degradation of organic matter and achieving a high COD removal rate. Moreover, this invention utilizes a dissolved gas pressure release device to recover the microcrystalline catalyst, balancing the homogeneity of homogeneous catalysis with the recoverability of heterogeneous catalysis, avoiding the potential pollution impact of homogeneous catalysts on water bodies, and reducing operating costs.
