Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solid-liquid separation, in particular to a high-efficiency separation device for oily sludge and a separation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Oily sludge contains not only a large amount of crude oil, but also radioactive elements, dioxins and pathogens. Considering both economic and environmental aspects, it has become a top priority to recycle and harmlessly treat oily sludge. At present, the main problem of resource utilization of oily sludge is that oily sludge is a viscous solid waste with highly emulsified water, oil and residue. The oil phase contained in oily sludge is composed of saturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, colloids and asphaltene. The presence of colloids and asphaltene promotes the stability of the emulsion in oily sludge, forming a very stable emulsion system (oil-in-water (O / W) or water-in-oil (W / O) type), which is difficult to demulsify; the size of solid particles in oily sludge can range from less than a few microns to several inches, and most particles are less than 10 microns in size. It is difficult to separate them from the liquid phase because of their small size. Therefore, how to separate the oil from the solid particles in oily sludge has become a key issue in solving the reuse of oily sludge.

[0003] At present, the main method for treating oily sludge is thermal chemical cleaning. The principle of thermal chemical cleaning is to add surfactants as cleaning agents to the oily sludge, wash it repeatedly, mix it thoroughly, destroy the adhesion of water, oil and sludge surfaces, and thus achieve separation. The existing technology and related supporting facilities have the following defects in the treatment of oily sludge: (1) A large amount of surfactants need to be added, the cost of treating oily sludge is too high, and the quality is affected; (2) Oily sludge is a high-viscosity system, the core mixing equipment is easy to clog, and it cannot be treated continuously, which is prone to uneven mixing and poor effect; (3) The energy consumption is large, and the quality of the oily sludge after treatment is low; (4) The process is complicated and the equipment occupies a large area.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN117720252A discloses a fully automatic integrated oily sludge treatment device, control system and treatment method, including a tank body, a first baffle, a second baffle, a mud discharge port, a feed port, and a connecting tee. The oil, water and mud separation of the oily sludge is achieved through a single integrated skid, which greatly reduces the equipment's land cost and control difficulty. The above invention has certain shortcomings when performing the three-phase separation operation of the oily sludge. The oily sludge and the reagent are only mixed by means of a stirring paddle, and the oil, water and mud are separated by standing. In the process of oily sludge treatment, the oily sludge is a high-viscosity system. The oily sludge and the reagent are easily mixed unevenly by stirring with a stirring paddle. At the same time, the separation problem of fine particles in the oily sludge is not solved, which is an important factor that makes it difficult to separate the oil phase and the solid phase. Therefore, the three-phase separation effect of the oily sludge is not good. Summary of the invention

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. Aiming at the high-viscosity material property of oily sludge, the present invention arranges a dispersion medium in the form of filler balls in the rotor cavity. Compared with the traditional stirring shaft mixing equipment, the contact area between the oily sludge and the surfactant is increased, the mixing degree of the materials is more uniform, the mass transfer process is strengthened, and the consumption of the surfactant is greatly reduced, the processing cost is reduced, and the secondary pollution problem caused by the large-scale use of the surfactant is reduced; for the high-viscosity material operation system, the filler ball ratio can be flexibly adjusted according to the solid content of the oily sludge, and compared with the fixed filler layer operation system, it is not easy to be blocked, and the mixing efficiency is improved; the filler balls have low manufacturing cost, are easy to clean and replace, and have low maintenance cost.

[0026] 3. The present invention utilizes a heat source to directly heat and moisten the oily sludge, thereby enhancing its fluidity and reducing its viscosity, thereby preventing the oily sludge from clogging the throat holes of the thermal vibration polymerization plate due to excessively high viscosity. Compared with indirect heating methods such as resistive heaters or heating pipes, the heat source directly heats the oily sludge, which is less expensive and more economical.

[0027] 4. The present invention utilizes the density difference between the solid and liquid phases of oily sludge, and separates the solid and liquid phases by setting a solid-liquid recyclone separator and an oil-water separation component. The liquid phase enters the oil-water separation component, and the water phase and the oil phase in the liquid phase are separated under the dual action of gravity and air force, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of oil-water separation, thereby realizing the three-phase separation of solid phase, water phase and oil phase.

[0044] The working principle of the efficient separation device for oily sludge of the present invention is as follows:

[0045] During operation, the drive motor 211 is started to drive the rotor chamber 223 on the tray 221 to rotate in a circle, and the oily sludge and the surfactant solution are respectively transported to the corresponding material distributor 225 through the two material inlet pipes 222. Under the action of centrifugal force, the packing layer in the rotor chamber 223 is continuously mixed from the inside to the outside step by step for strong mixing and dispersion, and the emulsion is broken once. When the spherical packing rotates, it brings great liquid turbulence, so that the oily sludge and the surfactant solution in the packing layer are mixed more evenly, and finally the mixed material is thrown out from the outer edge of the rotor chamber 223 to the guide plate 31; the heat source is passed through The heat source inlet pipe 32 is transported to the extraction and strong mixer 34, and the oily sludge entering the extraction and strong mixer 34 from the guide plate 31 is violently collided and mixed. The heat source further cuts the oil-water interface that has not been destroyed, destroying the integrity of the oil-water interface. When the oily sludge after secondary mixing and dispersion passes through the throat holes 351 of the layers of thermal vibration polymerization plates 35, turbulent collision occurs to perform thermal vibration polymerization and secondary demulsification. The solid particles in the oily sludge are continuously flocculated and enlarged, aggregated into larger solid particles, and flow into the liquid accumulation plate 36; after the oily sludge liquid level on the liquid accumulation plate 36 exceeds the overflow weir, it flows into the solid-liquid re-spinning separator Separator 41, due to the different densities of the solid and liquid phases, stratification occurs on the solid-liquid recyclone separator 41, the solid phase with high density settles quickly and sinks into the lower layer of the liquid flow, while the liquid phase with low density settles slowly and floats on the upper layer of the liquid flow. The disturbance of the liquid flow in the vertical direction strengthens the stratification of the oily sludge according to density. At the same time, the liquid phase moves toward the outer edge under the outward thrust of the horizontal water flow and the centrifugal force, and the solid phase moves toward the inner edge under the inward thrust of the horizontal water flow and the gravity. The solid phase and the liquid phase move along their respective rotation radii. The separation part 412 separates the oily sludge into a solid phase and a liquid phase in the horizontal direction. The oily sludge in the solid phase The waste residue is discharged through the solid phase outlet pipe 413, and the oil-water mixture in the liquid phase enters the oil-water separation component 42. At the same time, air is introduced into the gas distributor 421 to generate a large number of tiny bubbles of non-polar molecules. The oil droplets in the liquid phase discharged from the liquid phase outlet pipe 425 will be repelled by the water molecules, and are easily adhered to the bubbles when they are close to them, rising with the oil droplets, and floating above the water surface with the bubbles, thereby realizing the separation of the oil phase and the water phase in the liquid phase. The oil phase floats and flows into the oil pool through the upper edge of the oil-water partition 426 and is discharged through the oil phase outlet pipe 425, and the water phase sinks to the bottom of the water pool and is discharged through the water phase outlet pipe 424.
