Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of environmental protection technologies, and particularly to an oil-containing sludge extraction device and an extraction method for oil-containing sludge, aiming to significantly improve the extraction efficiency, shorten the treatment time, and reduce energy consumption. Background Art

[0002] Oil-containing sludge refers to sludge mixed with heavy oils such as crude oil, various refined oils, and residual oils. As a typical industrial waste, it widely originates from multiple industries such as oil extraction, refining, and machining. Improper treatment of it not only occupies a large amount of land resources but also causes serious pollution to water bodies and soil, threatening ecological security. Currently, the main oil-containing sludge treatment technologies include chemical flocculation method, pyrolysis method, biological treatment method, and supercritical fluid extraction method, etc. The summary of each technology is as follows:

[0003] Chemical flocculation method: A technology that uses a flocculant to flocculate organic components and separate the product from sand, gravel, and soil. Although conventional chemical flocculation technology can initially separate oil sludge, it often requires adding a large amount of chemical agents, which not only increases the treatment cost but also poses a major problem in the subsequent treatment of agent residues, causing secondary pollution to the environment.

[0004] Pyrolysis method: Pyrolysis technology pyrolyzes organic substances in oil-containing sludge at high temperatures to produce various gaseous or liquid alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alkenes, resins, and asphaltenes, etc. Although it can recover some energy, high-temperature operation consumes a huge amount of energy, and harmful gases may be generated during the process, requiring expensive tail gas treatment facilities.

[0005] Biological treatment method: Using microorganisms to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons in oil-containing sludge into harmless soil components. Although it is environmentally friendly, the treatment cycle is long, and it is greatly affected by factors such as microbial activity, temperature, and pH value, making it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale and rapid treatment.

[0006] Supercritical fluid extraction method: Using supercritical carbon dioxide's special dissolution effect on certain special natural products to extract organic contaminants in oil-containing sludge. In recent years, supercritical CO2 extraction has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness. However, most existing supercritical extraction equipment uses static containers or simple stirring devices, resulting in the extraction efficiency being limited by the limited mass transfer surface area and unable to fully utilize the high-efficiency dissolution ability of supercritical CO2. In addition, high-efficiency supercritical extraction is often accompanied by high energy consumption requirements. How to reduce energy consumption while ensuring the treatment effect and meeting the requirements of quickly treating a large amount of oil-containing sludge to form an industrial-scale application is an urgent problem to be solved.
