Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drug-free treatment of oily wastewater, and specifically relates to a Karman vortex street driven oil-containing wastewater oil coalescence-separation-anti-fouling integrated equipment and a design method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of industrialization and the acceleration of urbanization, wastewater treatment has become an important issue in the field of environmental protection. Among them, the treatment of oily wastewater is a challenging task. If it is not properly treated, it will not only affect the safety of water quality, but also cause damage to the ecosystem, cause biological toxicity problems, affect human health and bring economic losses.

[0003] Traditional methods for treating oily wastewater usually require the addition of chemical agents, such as polymers, coagulants, etc., to achieve oil-water separation or oil removal. However, the use of chemical agents will not only increase the cost of treatment, but may also cause secondary pollution to the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop treatment methods without the addition of chemicals. At present, the difficulties of chemical-free treatment are: 1. Low efficient oil-water separation: The realization of chemical-free oil-water treatment faces the problem of efficient oil-water separation. Due to the influence of factors such as small oil-water interfacial tension, small difference in oil-water density, irregular oil droplet size, and close specific gravity of oil and water, it is difficult to effectively achieve oil-water separation through physical methods such as inertia and centrifugal force. 2. Poor treatment efficiency and stability: Treatment methods without the addition of chemicals often face challenges in terms of treatment efficiency and stability. Since chemical-free treatment methods rely on physical or biological processes, the treatment efficiency is affected and the stability of the system is poor. Summary of the invention

The device stimulates the Karman vortex street by rationally designing the flow channel, promotes the polymerization of oil droplets with irregular particle sizes, and screens oil droplets with a particle size greater than 1 cm through the inertial focusing effect. Such large-sized oil droplets can be quickly stratified and collected from the water phase under pressure. The device overcomes the problems of uneven oil droplet size, long focusing process, and low collection efficiency in the traditional inertial separation mode. The oil-water separation efficiency is fundamentally improved. In addition, this device does not require the addition of chemicals and microorganisms, avoiding secondary pollution problems and difficult cost control problems.

Moreover, the unique vortex street shedding characteristics of the Karman vortex street can avoid the pollution problem of the equipment and completely avoid the problem of oil sticking behind the vortex street column. Taking the treatment of industrial oily wastewater in mountainous areas as an example, the equipment can realize the efficient conversion of micro-oil droplets into large oil droplets, as well as the precise recovery of large oil droplets.

[0069] In addition, the equipment has a simple operation process, controllable conditions, and can be driven by gravitational potential energy. Combined with the goal-oriented topological optimization design, the precise design and implementation of a specific oily wastewater treatment process can be achieved, solving the problem of large discreteness of oily wastewater. The preparation method of the present invention has a simple process, does not require the addition of chemicals, is safe and environmentally friendly, and can be adapted to a variety of oily wastewater treatment scenarios.

[0071] The feed end 1 is connected to the fluid inlet of the vortex street coalescing end 2, and is used to transport the oily wastewater to the vortex street coalescing end 2;

[0072] The vortex street coalescing end 2 is used to stimulate the oily wastewater flowing in the flow channel to generate a Karman vortex street effect, and to coalesce the oil droplets in the oily wastewater without adding any chemical agent, so as to coalesce the irregularly dispersed oil droplets in the oily wastewater into regular large oil droplets to obtain coalesced oily wastewater, and the coalesced oily wastewater is transported to the inertia determination end 3;

[0074] The negative / positive pressure inertial separation end 5 is used to freely adjust the inertial separation mode according to the density of the oil component to achieve oil-water separation, specifically: light oil is assisted by negative pressure to achieve inertial focusing, and heavy oil is assisted by positive pressure to achieve inertial focusing, thereby achieving oil-water separation;

[0075] The vortex reflux end 4 is used to further coalesce the oily wastewater from which large-sized oil droplets have been filtered out, and to transport the treated oily wastewater back to the feed end 1, and then to the vortex coalescing end 2, and this cycle is continued to perform secondary or multiple coalescing treatments on small-sized oil droplets in the oily wastewater until large-sized oil droplets that are easily separable are formed, and oil-water separation is performed through the negative / positive pressure inertial separation end 5.

[0076] The feed end 1, the vortex coalescing end 2, the inertial discrimination end 3, the vortex reflux end 4 and the negative / positive pressure inertial separation end 5 have no requirements on materials, but have requirements on material strength, and must withstand a dynamic water pressure of at least 1 MPa.

The distance between the axis of the vortex street column and the water inlet of the vortex street coalescing end 2 is 8cm. The principle is that as the Reynolds number Re decreases, the excitation of the Karman vortex street requires the obstacle itself to provide oscillation excitation.

[0174] Among them, γ is the filtering variable (density function design variable);

[0175] (5c) Based on the output results, a three-dimensional geometric model of the optimized flow channel is established in the CAD software according to the actual size parameters of the optimized flow channel.

[0176] Step 6: Extract the velocity field u and pressure field p distribution inside the optimized flow channel and draw a streamline diagram. Figure 3 The flow patterns inside the flow channel before and after optimization are given, providing a basis for subsequent judgment on whether the performance meets the requirements.

[0180] (1) Vortex test. It has been verified that the device constructed in this embodiment can generate high-frequency vortex shedding inside to form a movable high-speed vortex. 90% of the micro-oil droplets can be coalesced into large-sized oil droplets with a particle size greater than 1 cm within 5 cycles.

[0181] (2) Oil recovery capability test. It has been verified that large oil droplets stably accumulate on the liquid surface in the negative / positive pressure inertial separation end and can be recovered through a simple skimming process. According to calculations, the oil phase recovery rate can reach 97%. If further treatment is required, electrochemical deep treatment can be directly carried out in the negative / positive pressure inertial separation end.

[0182] The present invention flexibly utilizes the high vorticity, mobility, regularity and high frequency characteristics of the vortex of the Karman vortex street, transforms the traditional passive static inertial oil-water separation scheme into a dynamic first-agglomeration-then-recovery scheme, and realizes the harmonious combination of centrifugation, inertial focusing and mechanical recovery. The effect of 1+1>2 is achieved, and an application example is given. The present invention is not limited to the treatment of industrial oily wastewater in mountainous areas, but can also be applied to various application scenarios such as urban industrial plants, sewage treatment plants, and marine oil leakage control.

[0183] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be considered as the scope of protection of the present invention.
