Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seawater desalination, and particularly to a 3D photocatalytic degradation device, a preparation method thereof, and a seawater desalination system. Background Art

[0002] The shortage of global fresh water resources has become an increasingly serious problem. Especially in arid and semi-arid regions, the lack of fresh water resources has had a huge impact on agriculture, industry, and daily life. Seawater desalination is an important means to provide fresh water supply. Traditional water treatment methods, such as reverse osmosis and distillation, although they can effectively remove impurities in water, their high energy consumption and high cost limit their wide application. At the same time, the treatment of industrial wastewater and oil-polluted water bodies also faces huge challenges. Solar interface evaporation technology has become one of the popular seawater desalination technologies today due to its advantages such as being green and low-cost. However, when the seawater desalination system treats oil-polluted water bodies, it often cannot simultaneously achieve high-efficiency evaporation and purification functions, resulting in low treatment efficiency and unable to meet the actual needs. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a seawater desalination system that has oil pollution adsorption, can degrade dye pollution, and has high-efficiency evaporation performance.

[0003] For example, in current seawater desalination technologies, a patent document with the publication number CN 113023811B discloses a solar thermal collection seawater desalination device. The device includes a water tank and a photothermal conversion element. The upper end of the water tank is an open structure, and the photothermal conversion element floats on the upper part of the water tank. The photothermal conversion element includes a matrix formed of a foaming material, and a groove with an upper-side opening is formed on the matrix. The groove is filled with a nickel foam matrix. A capillary structure water conveyance channel is arranged on the lower wall surface of the matrix, and the water conveyance channel communicates the water body of the water tank and the nickel foam matrix. A photothermal conversion coating is arranged on the upper part of the groove, and the photothermal conversion coating is connected to the nickel foam matrix. The buoyancy of the foaming material itself is greater than the gravity. Preferably, the upper surface of the photothermal conversion coating is at the same height as the upper surface of the water body or does not exceed 5 cm above the upper surface of the water body. Preferably, a transparent glass cover is arranged on the upper part of the water tank, and the transparent glass cover is in an arc structure. The glass cover includes a water collection trough located on the lower side. The water collection trough includes a vertical side wall on the inner side, a horizontal wall extending horizontally from the bottom end of the vertical side wall, and an outer vertical wall extending upward along the other end of the horizontal wall, and an arc structure extending upward and inward along the outer vertical wall. The inner vertical wall, the horizontal wall and the outer vertical wall form the water collection trough. Drainage holes are arranged on the horizontal wall to discharge the fresh water collected in the water collection trough, so as to achieve the purpose of taking water from seawater. Preferably, a diversion groove is arranged on the inner wall of the arc structure to ensure that the steam can flow into the water collection trough in time after condensation. Preferably, a steam outlet pipe is arranged at the top of the transparent glass cover, and the outlet pipe is connected to a cooling coil at the bottom of the water tank to introduce the steam into the cooling coil for cooling. The heat released by the condensation of the steam is used to preheat the water in the water tank. After the steam in the cooling coil condenses into water, the water is introduced into a recovery device. The above patent document is provided with a photothermal conversion coating and has the function of photothermal conversion, which improves the evaporation efficiency, but it does not have the function of oil absorption.

[0004] For another example, the patent document with the publication number CN 220502725 U discloses: a floating solar desalination device capable of tracking the sun, which includes a floating carrier, a distillation mechanism, a solar heat collection mechanism, a solar power generation mechanism, a control system, and a power mechanism arranged on the floating carrier; the distillation mechanism is used to distill seawater into fresh water by using the heat energy of the solar heat collection mechanism; the control system includes a control module, the control module is connected to the distillation mechanism and is used to control the distillation process; the control module is also connected to the power mechanism and is used to adjust the overall orientation of the desalination device to track the sun; the solar power generation mechanism is used to provide electrical energy for the distillation mechanism, the control system, and the power mechanism. Further, the distillation mechanism includes a distillation box; a partition is arranged in the distillation box to divide the distillation box into a seawater chamber and a fresh water chamber; an inclined condensation plate is also arranged above the seawater chamber and the fresh water chamber in the distillation box; the seawater chamber corresponds to the higher section of the condensation plate, the fresh water chamber corresponds to the lower section of the condensation plate, and there is a space between the top of the partition and the condensation plate. The above patent document also does not have the function of absorbing oil. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Further, the mass ratio of styrene, divinylbenzene, span 80, azobisisobutyronitrile, soybean oil, butyl methacrylate, water, carbon nanotubes, and titanium dioxide is (0.087 - 0.097):(0.355 - 0.392):(0.08 - 0.14):(0.03 - 0.05):(0.1 - 0.3):(0.182 - 0.224):(18.24 - 18.56):(0.1 - 0.14):(0.08 - 0.12).

[0013] Further, the outer diameter of the carbon nanotubes is between 8 - 80 nm, and the length is between 5 - 50 μm.

[0014] A preparation method of an oil - absorbing 3D photocatalytic degradation device, which adopts a high - internal - phase Pickering emulsion template method, specifically includes the following steps: Step 1.

[0015] Further, the reaction temperature is between 70 - 90 °C, and the appropriate time for the polymerization reaction is between 8 - 14 h.

[0016] A solar seawater desalination system with oil absorption performance includes an oil-absorbing 3D photocatalytic degradation device, and also includes a floating frame, a transparent glass cover and a polyurethane sponge carrier.

The combination of the two greatly improves the photothermal conversion efficiency and photocatalytic degradation ability of the evaporator.

[0020] The oil-absorbing 3D photocatalytic degradation device of this application has a large specific surface area and appropriate pore size (15 - 45 μm), which not only helps to improve the evaporation rate, but also has the ability to adsorb and enrich oil pollution and organic pollutants. The polyurethane sponge as the suspension support provides good mechanical strength and stability, ensuring the durability and reliability of the evaporator in practical applications.
