Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of irrigation technology, and in particular to a brackish water sub-salinity continuous water production mixing irrigation device and an irrigation method based on capacitive deionization technology. Background Art

[0002] Brackish water generally refers to salt water with a mineralization of 2 to 5 g / L. It is an unconventional water resource that is not often used. The Northwest region has an arid climate and scarce precipitation. It has long faced the problem of scarce freshwater resources. Since natural precipitation cannot meet the needs of crop growth, large-scale agricultural production must rely on irrigation. In order to meet the demand for agricultural water, groundwater and surface water resources are widely used in the arid areas of the Northwest. China has a large amount of brackish water resources that can be exploited, of which the total amount of brackish water resources in the arid areas of the Northwest is about 159.7263 billion m 3 The arid northwest region is an important grain producing area in my country. Many salt-tolerant crops (such as cotton and sugar beet) can adapt to irrigation with a certain concentration of brackish water. More and more agricultural production relies on secondary water sources such as widely distributed bitter and salty water resources. Therefore, using appropriate technology and equipment to desalinate or desalinate abundant salt or brackish water resources and using the desalinated or desalinated water for irrigation of salt-tolerant crops can alleviate the problem of water shortage in my country to a certain extent, protect my country's food security, and promote the sustainable development of my country's agriculture.

[0003] Capacitive deionization technology (CDI) has significant advantages and good application prospects in the field of agricultural saline water sub-desalination irrigation due to its low energy consumption, almost zero secondary pollution, economic and environmental advantages. Traditional capacitive deionization technology uses double layer or Faraday theory to cyclically adsorb and desorb saline water, thereby achieving the purpose of saline water desalination and CDI component salt removal and reuse. However, since the same group of CDI components use intermittent operation mode for adsorption and desorption, this means that traditional CDI equipment cannot produce water continuously, thus affecting the desalination efficiency and water supply stability of the entire CDI system. The desalination rate of CDI, that is, the speed of producing desalinated water, is limited. It is difficult to obtain water quality that can be directly used for crop irrigation by desalination using traditional CDI systems, and the existing CDI systems cannot achieve real-time water quality adjustment. The irrigation water after desalination often cannot meet the irrigation water quality requirements of typical salt-tolerant crops. Therefore, traditional CDI sub-desalination equipment cannot adapt to the demand for large-scale agricultural water and cannot achieve the maximum irrigation benefits. Summary of the invention

[0039] The embodiment of the present invention can alternately switch between the salt absorption mode and the salt discharge mode by setting the first capacitor deionization device 4 and the second capacitor deionization device 5 in parallel, thereby realizing continuous water production for irrigation and reducing the time required for system shutdown, maintenance and restart. It not only has obvious advantages in water supply stability, energy efficiency and water quality flexibility, but is also particularly suitable for application scenarios such as agricultural irrigation that have high requirements for water resource sustainability, thereby making efficient use of water resources.

[0040] The capacitive deionization technology used in the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of low energy consumption, easy installation, low pollution and sustainable utilization. The sub-salinated irrigation water can meet the irrigation needs of salt-tolerant crops in the arid areas of Northwest China, making full use of the regional characteristics of rich bitter and salty water resources in the arid areas of Northwest China and the large water demand for crop irrigation, promoting stable and sustainable agricultural irrigation in the arid areas, providing targeted and adjustable brackish water irrigation for different salt-tolerant crops in the arid areas of Northwest China, and saving water resources.

[0041] It should be noted that the first capacitive deionization device 4 and the second capacitive deionization device 5 are connected to a DC power supply, the DC power supply is connected to a battery, and a controller is connected to the DC power supply and the battery. The DC power supply provides electrical energy for the entire irrigation device and charges the battery.

The sub-desalination water tank is used to store water treated by the capacitor deionization device.

[0043] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the first capacitive deionization device 4 includes a first support plate 41, a first silicone gasket 42, a deionization module, a second silicone gasket 45 and a second support plate 46 connected in sequence, the deionization module includes an electrode sheet 43 and a silicone frame 44, the electrode sheet 43 and the silicone frame 44 are respectively provided with a plurality of and spaced apart connection, the electrical properties of two adjacent electrode sheets 43 are opposite, the first support plate 41, the first silicone gasket 42, the electrode sheet 43, the silicone frame 44, the second silicone gasket 45 and the second support plate 46 are respectively provided with liquid holes, and the liquid holes are connected to the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the first capacitive deionization device 4.

[0044] A silicone frame 44 is provided between two adjacent electrode sheets 43 to separate adjacent electrode sheets 43 and prevent the capacitor deionization device from short-circuiting. The silicone frame 44 is made of silicone, and has an external dimension of 250×250×2mm, and an internal empty area dimension of 220×220×2mm. The first silicone gasket 42 and the second silicone gasket 45 are made of silicone, and have a dimension of 250×250×2mm. They are respectively provided on the inner side of the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 46. The position and size of the liquid hole of the silicone gasket are the same as those of the liquid hole of the support plate. The silicone gasket is used to separate the support plate and the electrode sheet 43 to prevent the metal electrode sheet 43 from wearing the support plate.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid holes of two adjacent electrode sheets 43 are staggered to form a baffle structure, which can extend the water flow path and the adsorption time of salt ions in brackish water, thereby ensuring that the brackish water is fully desalinated.

[0046] Furthermore, liquid holes with a diameter of 20 mm are respectively provided at the lower left and upper right of two adjacent electrode sheets 43 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 46 are both made of acrylic material, the electrode sheet 43 is a titanium plate coated with an electrode material, and the electrode material is a composite material of activated carbon, polyvinylidene fluoride and conductive carbon black.

[0048] Furthermore, the electrode sheet 43 is composed of an upper lug area and a lower coating area, and is made of titanium. The lug area has a size of 50×80×0.5 mm (length×height×thickness), and the coating area has a size of 250×250×0.5 mm. The first support plate 41 and the second support plate 46 both have a size of 250×250×30 mm.

[0049] Furthermore, the coating area of ​​the electrode sheet 43 is coated with an electrode material, and the electrode material is a mixture of activated carbon, conductive carbon black, and polyvinylidene fluoride. The production process is as follows: polyvinylidene fluoride is dissolved in N-2 methylpyrrolidone solution to prepare a 2.25% N-2 methylpyrrolidone solution of polyvinylidene fluoride, and then the activated carbon, conductive carbon black, and N-2 methylpyrrolidone solution of polyvinylidene fluoride are mixed in a ratio of 8:1:1 to the mass ratio of activated carbon, conductive carbon black, and polyvinylidene fluoride, and the electrode material slurry is prepared by fully stirring for 8 hours. The electrode sheet 43 without material coating is stably installed on the coating machine, and the coating thickness of the coating machine is set to 200μm and the coating speed is set to 5mm / s. The electrode material is coated on the coating area of ​​the electrode sheet 43, and then the coated electrode sheet 43 is dried for 1 hour and then placed in a vacuum oven at 80°C for 12 hours to finally prepare the electrode sheet 43 in the capacitor deionization device.

The liquid inlet of the sedimentation tank 1 is connected to a water pump to extract brackish water, and the liquid outlet of the sedimentation tank 1 is connected to the liquid inlet of the primary filtration device 2 to transport the precipitated brackish water to the primary filtration device 2.

[0051] Furthermore, the sedimentation tank 1 is a vertical flow sedimentation tank. The vertical flow sedimentation tank uses the principle of gravity sedimentation. Brackish water flows into the sedimentation tank from the bottom of the sedimentation tank. The suspended matter in the water gradually sinks to the bottom of the tank under the action of gravity, and the precipitated particles accumulate at the bottom of the sedimentation tank. The mud is discharged regularly through the mud discharge equipment at the bottom of the vertical flow sedimentation tank, and the upper layer of water flows into the primary filter device 2 through the connecting pipe.

[0052] In some embodiments, the primary filtration device 2 includes a screen filter and a granular activated carbon filter, and the granular activated carbon filter is connected between the screen filter and the pre-treatment water tank 3. The screen filter and the granular activated carbon filter are used in combination to remove smaller particles in the water, and the treated water flows into the pre-treatment water tank 3 through the connecting pipe.

[0053] In some embodiments, the irrigation device also includes a power supply and storage component, which includes a lithium titanate battery and a controller. The lithium titanate battery connects an external power source and electrical equipment in the irrigation device to store and provide electrical energy, and the controller connects the lithium titanate battery and the electrical equipment.

[0054] The battery uses lithium titanate battery, which supports fast charging and discharging, and has a very long cycle life, which can reach tens of thousands of charge and discharge cycles. The battery is charged in a constant current and constant voltage charging mode. The controller is connected to the battery to control the working state, charge and discharge state of the battery, and the current and voltage output to the device.

[0055] The working process of the power supply and storage component is as follows: first, use the computer system to check whether the health status and power status of each battery are normal. The computer system inputs the voltage value required by the battery based on the analysis results of the voltage required for CDI desalination of irrigation water with different salt concentrations by the loading intelligent system. The working mode of the battery is constant voltage mode, and the healthy and fully charged batteries are regulated to discharge, and the remaining healthy batteries are charged; when it is detected that the power of the battery in discharge operation is less than 5%, the charging battery is changed to the discharge working state, and the discharging battery is changed to the charging state. In this way, the batteries work in a cycle to continuously provide the required voltage for the device.

[0056] Furthermore, the constant voltage range of the battery output is 0.8-2V, and the output current range is 0-20A. The lower DC voltage saves energy and does not cause water electrolysis. The controller is equipped with a programmable logic controller and is connected to all electrical devices on the device. It can control the power supply status and operating mode of all electrical devices.

[0057] Furthermore, the irrigation device of the embodiment of the present invention also includes a monitoring and parameter setting component, which includes a computer system and a device parameter control system mounted thereon. The computer system is connected to the controller. The computer system controls the power supply and operation status of the entire irrigation device in real time and quickly by connecting to the controller. After the device parameter control system in the computer system is connected to the programmable logic controller in the controller, it can detect and control various parameters and components of the device, mainly including: equipment component overview, battery parameters, salt concentration parameters and conditions, irrigation conditions, etc. The equipment component overview can view the operation status of each component and control it; the battery parameters can view the current battery power, charge and discharge status, output voltage, output current and battery temperature and other parameters and control them; the salt concentration parameters and conditions can view the salt concentration status of water in each water storage component, as well as the set salt concentration of irrigation water; the irrigation status includes the opening and closing status of each water pump, valve, the amount of water in each water tank, and the storage or flow status of water in the device and control them.

[0058] In some embodiments, multiple groups of lithium titanate batteries are connected in parallel to charge and discharge in turn, thereby ensuring a sustainable supply of electrical energy.

[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for mixed irrigation of brackish water sub-salinity based on capacitive deionization technology, using the brackish water sub-salinity based on capacitive deionization technology continuous water production device, comprising the following steps:

[0072] When crops need irrigation, the salt concentration and water consumption of the required irrigation water are determined based on the crop information and input into the computer system. The computer system analyzes and sets the liquid level and salt concentration requirements of each device. After the setting is completed, the sedimentation tank 1 transports the brackish water to the primary filtration device 2 for primary filtration. The brackish water after primary filtration enters the pretreatment water tank 3.

[0073] After the water in the pretreatment water tank 3 reaches the set water level, the first capacitor deionization device 4 is set to the salt absorption mode, and the second capacitor deionization device 5 is set to the salt discharge mode. The water in the pretreatment water tank 3 enters the first capacitor deionization device 4 and the second capacitor deionization device 5 respectively. The concentrated brine treated by the second capacitor deionization device 5 flows into the brine tank 8, and the sub-desalinated water obtained after treatment by the first capacitor deionization device 4 flows into the first sub-desalinated water tank 6.

[0074] After the water level of the first sub-desalinated water tank 6 reaches the set value, it is detected whether the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the first sub-desalinated water tank 6 reaches the set value. When the salt concentration does not reach the set value, the sub-desalinated water in the first sub-desalinated water tank 6 flows back to the pretreatment water tank 3 and is desalinated again through the first capacitive deionization device 4; when the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the first sub-desalinated water tank 6 reaches the set value, the sub-desalinated water flows into the mixing water tank 10.

[0075] The fresh water tank 9 inputs fresh water into the blending water tank 10 according to the set value to mix with the desalinated water, so that the salt concentration of the desalinated water in the blending water tank 10 reaches the set value, and then the desalinated water is transported to the irrigation water tank 11 for irrigation.

[0076] When it is detected that the salt concentration at the end of the first capacitor deionization device 4 no longer changes, the first capacitor deionization device 4 is switched to the salt discharge mode, and the second capacitor deionization device 5 is switched to the salt absorption mode. The concentrated brine treated by the first capacitor deionization device 4 flows into the brine tank 8, and the sub-salted water treated by the second capacitor deionization device 5 flows into the second sub-salted water tank 7.

[0077] After the water level of the second sub-desalinated water tank 7 reaches the set value, it is detected whether the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the second sub-desalinated water tank 7 reaches the set value. When the salt concentration does not reach the set value, the sub-desalinated water in the second sub-desalinated water tank 7 flows back to the pretreatment water tank 3 and is desalinated again through the second capacitive deionization device 5; when the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the second sub-desalinated water tank 7 reaches the set value, the sub-desalinated water flows into the mixing water tank 10.

[0078] The fresh water tank 9 inputs fresh water into the blending water tank 10 according to the set value to mix with the sub-desalinated water, so that the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the blending water tank 10 reaches the set value, and then the sub-desalinated water is transported to the irrigation water tank 11 for irrigation. When it is detected that the salt concentration at the end of the second capacitive deionization device 5 no longer changes, the second capacitive deionization device 5 is switched to the salt discharge mode, and the first capacitive deionization device 4 is switched to the salt absorption mode, and the above steps are repeated.

[0079] Furthermore, the crop information includes but is not limited to the crop variety, planting area, soil moisture at that time and other information.

[0080] Furthermore, when the crop needs irrigation, the salt concentration and water consumption of the required irrigation water are determined according to the crop variety, planting area, soil humidity at that time and other information, and input into the computer system. The computer system analyzes and sets the liquid level and salt concentration requirements of each device. After the setting is completed, the sedimentation tank 1 starts to take in water. After the water level reaches the connecting pipe between the sedimentation tank 1 and the primary filter device 2, the first electric stop valve is opened to allow the brackish water to flow into the primary filter device 2 for primary filtration. At the same time, the first water pump and the second electric stop valve are opened to allow the brackish water after primary filtration to enter the pretreatment water tank 3. After the water in the pretreatment water tank 3 reaches the set water level, the first capacitor deionization device 4 and the second capacitor deionization device 5 are selected as the salt absorption mode and the salt discharge mode, respectively. The battery generates electricity to provide electrical energy for the first capacitor deionization device 4 and the second capacitor deionization device 5.

[0081] If the first capacitor deionization device 4 is set to the salt absorption mode and the second capacitor deionization device 5 is set to the salt discharge mode, the second water pump and the third electric stop valve and the fourth electric stop valve are opened to allow the water in the pretreatment water tank 3 to enter the first capacitor deionization device 4 and the second capacitor deionization device 5 respectively. The sixth electric stop valve is opened to allow the concentrated salt water treated by the second capacitor deionization device 5 to flow into the brine tank 8. The seventh electric stop valve is opened to allow the sub-salted water treated by the first capacitor deionization device 4 to flow into the first sub-salted water tank 6. When the water level of the first sub-desalinated water tank 6 reaches the set value, it is detected whether the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the first sub-desalinated water tank 6 reaches the set value. If the salt concentration does not reach the set value, the ninth electric stop valve and the sixth water pump are opened to make the sub-desalinated water in the first sub-desalinated water tank 6 flow back to the pretreatment water tank 3 and desalinate again through the first capacitor deionization device 4; if the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the first sub-desalinated water tank 6 reaches the set value, the third water pump and the first mixing electric stop valve are opened to make the sub-desalinated water flow into the mixing water tank 10. At this time, the fifth water pump and the third mixing electric stop valve are opened to make the fresh water tank 9 input fresh water into the mixing water tank 10 according to the set value to mix with the sub-desalinated water, so that the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the mixing water tank 10 reaches the set value, and then the fifth water pump reverses and opens the fourth mixing electric stop valve to transport the sub-desalinated water to the irrigation water tank 11, and the irrigation water tank 11 stores water for irrigation.

[0082] When it is detected that the salt concentration at the end of the first capacitor deionization device 4 no longer changes, the first capacitor deionization device 4 is switched to the salt discharge mode, and the second capacitor deionization device 5 is switched to the salt absorption mode. The second water pump and the third electric stop valve and the fourth electric stop valve are turned on to allow the water in the pretreatment water tank 3 to flow into the first capacitor deionization device 4 and the second capacitor deionization device 5 respectively. The fifth electric stop valve is turned on to allow the concentrated salt water treated by the first capacitor deionization device 4 to flow into the brine tank 8. The eighth electric stop valve is turned on to allow the sub-salted water obtained after the treatment by the second capacitor deionization device 5 to flow into the second sub-salted water tank 7.

[0083] When the water level of the second sub-desalinated water tank 7 reaches the set value, it is detected whether the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the second sub-desalinated water tank 7 reaches the set value. If the salt concentration does not reach the set value, the tenth electric stop valve and the seventh water pump are opened to make the sub-desalinated water in the second sub-desalinated water tank 7 flow back to the pretreatment water tank 3 and desalinate again through the second capacitor deionization device 5; if the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the second sub-desalinated water tank 7 reaches the set value, the fourth water pump and the second mixing electric stop valve are opened to make the sub-desalinated water flow into the mixing water tank 10. At this time, the fifth water pump and the third mixing electric stop valve are opened, and the fresh water tank 9 inputs fresh water into the mixing water tank 10 according to the set value to mix with the sub-desalinated water, so that the salt concentration of the sub-desalinated water in the mixing water tank 10 reaches the set value, and then the fifth water pump reverses and opens the fourth mixing electric stop valve to transport the sub-desalinated water to the irrigation water tank 11, and the irrigation water tank 11 stores water for irrigation.

[0084] When it is detected that the salt concentration at the end of the second capacitive deionization device 5 no longer changes, the second capacitive deionization device 5 is switched to the salt discharge mode, the first capacitive deionization device 4 is switched to the salt absorption mode, and the above steps are repeated.
