Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of treatment of saline solutions, and particularly relates to a method and system for concentrating saline solutions. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of environmental protection and resource recovery, treating saline solutions generated from industrial wastewater, waste residues and other waste materials, such as landfill leachate, leaching solutions of tungsten and molybdenum, has always been a technical challenge. Most traditional treatment methods for these saline solutions adopt evaporation concentration processes, where water is evaporated by heating to separate and recover the salts therein. However, this process requires a large amount of steam energy, which not only increases the treatment cost but also imposes an additional burden on the environment.

[0003] Meanwhile, biomass resources such as palm shells and leaves, as well as organic sludge, have rich calorific values. Specifically, the calorific values of biomass such as palm shells are usually between 3900 and 4800 kcal / kg, while the calorific values of organic sludge are in the range of 2200 to 3000 kcal / kg. These waste materials are usually regarded as treatment problems, but actually contain considerable thermal energy resources. If this part of the calorific value can be effectively utilized, not only can the treatment problem of waste materials be solved, but also it can be used as a sustainable energy source.

[0004] For an evaporator, salts, impurities, etc. in the saline solution are likely to form scale on the heat transfer surface of the evaporator and the inner surface of the pipeline, resulting in a decrease in heat transfer efficiency, an increase in fluid resistance, and even blockage of the pipeline, affecting the normal operation of the evaporator. Although a variety of anti-scaling and descaling technologies have been proposed and applied, each method has its limitations. Especially when dealing with complex and variable saline solutions, a single technology often fails to achieve an ideal anti-scaling effect. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0037] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0038] The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive distinction and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] A method for concentrating a salt-containing solution provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0040] S1: Feed palm shell biomass and pine branch biomass with moisture content < 30% and organic matter sludge with a length of 40 - 80 mm into the gasifier 100 from the upper part of the gasifier 100. Pass air and steam into the gasifier 100 from the lower part to gasify the biomass and organic matter sludge, generating biochar and high-temperature syngas. Among them, the pressure of the gasifier 100 is 0.2 MPa, and the gasification temperature is 850 °C. The high-temperature syngas includes methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. The biochar can be used for soil improvement and can also be used as fuel.

[0041] Add calcium oxide into the gasifier 100. A small amount of hydrogen sulfide in the gasifier 100 reacts with calcium oxide to reduce the hydrogen sulfide content in the high-temperature syngas.

[0042] S2: Use a part of the high-temperature syngas generated in step S1 as the heat source of the evaporator 200, and feed the salt-containing solution into the evaporator 200 for evaporation and concentration treatment to obtain a concentrated solution.

[0043] The high-temperature syngas after heat exchange in step S2 and another part of the high-temperature syngas generated in step S1 enter the purifier 300 for purification to remove gases such as hydrogen sulfide, and the purified gas is used as fuel gas.

[0044] Using palm shell biomass, pine branch biomass, and organic matter sludge with a moisture content below 30% as the raw materials of the gasifier 100, through gasification treatment, not only high-temperature syngas is generated, but also biochar is produced. The biochar has the dual value of soil improvement and as fuel, realizing the resource utilization of waste and reducing environmental pollution. In the gasifier 100, by controlling the pressure at 0.2 MPa and the gasification temperature at 850 °C, the effective gasification of biomass and sludge is ensured, and high-temperature syngas rich in methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide is generated. These gases have a high energy density and provide a stable heat source for subsequent evaporation and concentration. Add calcium oxide into the gasifier 100, and use it to react with a small amount of hydrogen sulfide generated during gasification to form harmless calcium sulfide, thereby effectively removing hydrogen sulfide in the high-temperature syngas. This step not only improves the quality of the syngas but also avoids potential environmental pollution in subsequent treatment. Using the high-temperature syngas generated in step S1 as the heat source of the evaporator 200 to perform evaporation and concentration treatment on the salt-containing solution. This process not only reduces energy consumption but also improves the efficiency of evaporation and concentration, ensuring the quality and output of the concentrated solution. The high-temperature syngas after evaporation and concentration heat exchange enters the purifier 300 for purification treatment to remove impurities and pollutants therein, obtaining pure syngas. This syngas can be used as fuel gas, further realizing the recycling of energy and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the entire system.

[0045] In summary, the method for concentrating the saline solution of the present application not only realizes the resource utilization of biomass and sludge, but also improves the energy utilization efficiency and reduces environmental pollution through steps such as high-efficiency gasification, hydrogen sulfide removal, evaporation concentration, and purification and reuse of syngas, with significant economic and environmental benefits.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the present embodiment further provides a concentrating system for the saline solution, which is used to implement the method for concentrating the saline solution described above, and includes: a gasifier 100, an evaporator 200, and a purifier 300. The high-temperature syngas outlet of the gasifier 100 is connected to the heat source inlet 1 of the evaporator 200, and the heat source outlet 2 of the evaporator 200 is connected to the inlet of the purifier 300.

[0047] Among them, the evaporator 200 further includes a box body 3, a first valve 4, a second valve 5, a heat exchange tube assembly 6, a stirring assembly 7, a descaling scraper 8, a gas-liquid separator 9, a concentrated liquid outlet 10, an exhaust port 11, a third valve 12, and a fourth valve 13. The upper part of the left side wall of the box body 3 is fixedly connected to the heat source inlet 1, and the heat source inlet 1 is provided with the first valve 4. The upper part of the right side wall of the box body 3 is fixedly connected to the heat source outlet 2, and the heat source outlet 2 is provided with the second valve 5. The heat exchange tube assembly 6 is arranged inside the box body 3, and the left end is connected to the heat source inlet 1, and the right end is connected to the heat source outlet 2. The stirring assembly 7 is fixed to the box body 3 and extends into the box body 3 to be fixedly provided with the descaling scraper 8. The gas-liquid separator 9 is arranged above the inside of the box body 3, and the exhaust end of the gas-liquid separator 9 is fixedly connected to the exhaust port 11, and the exhaust port 11 is provided with the third valve 12. The bottom of the box body 3 is fixedly connected to the concentrated liquid outlet 10, and the concentrated liquid outlet 10 is provided with the fourth valve 13.

[0048] When performing the evaporation concentration treatment of the saline solution, the saline solution is fed into the box body 3. The first valve 4 is opened, and the high-temperature syngas generated by the gasifier 100 enters the heat exchange tube assembly 6 as a heat source through the heat source inlet 1 to heat the saline solution. The saline solution is heated and evaporated and vaporized, enters the gas-liquid separator 9 for gas-liquid separation, and the separated steam is discharged through the exhaust port 11 to realize the concentration treatment of the saline solution. During the evaporation concentration treatment process, the saline solution is stirred by the stirring assembly 7 to make it evenly heated, reduce the dead zone and low-flow rate areas, increase the material flow rate, make the scale layer not easy to form, and have a scouring effect on the formed scale layer. And while the stirring assembly 7 is performing the stirring operation, the dirt attached to the inner wall of the box body 3 is scraped off by the descaling scraper 8 to further avoid scaling. The second valve 5 is opened, and the high-temperature syngas after heat exchange through the heat exchange tube assembly 6 is discharged to the purifier 300 through the heat source outlet 2 for purification treatment. When it is necessary to take out the concentrated liquid, the fourth valve 13 is opened, and the concentrated liquid is discharged through the concentrated liquid outlet 10.

[0049] Among them, the stirring assembly 7 includes a motor 71, a first gear 72, a second gear 73, a first bearing seat 74, a first rotating shaft 75, and a first stirring blade 76. The motor 71 and the first bearing seat 74 are fixed to the top of the box body 3. The first gear 72 is fixed to the top of the motor 71. The second gear 73 is fixed to the upper part of the first rotating shaft 75. The second gear 73 meshes with the first gear 72. The first rotating shaft 75 passes through the first bearing seat 74 and the top wall of the box body 3 and extends into the interior of the box body 3 where a plurality of first stirring blades 76 are fixed. During the stirring operation, the motor 71 rotates, driving the first gear 72 to rotate, causing the second gear 73 to rotate, driving the first rotating shaft 75 to rotate, and further driving the first stirring blades 76 to rotate to stir the saline solution and improve its uniform heat reception.

[0050] Among them, the heat exchange tube assembly 6 includes a first spiral tube 61, a first connecting tube 62, a second spiral tube 63, a third spiral tube 64, and a second connecting tube 65. The first spiral tube 61 is vertically arranged on the left side inside the box body 3. The air inlet end of the first spiral tube 61 is fixedly communicated with the heat source air inlet 1. The air outlet end of the first spiral tube 61 is fixedly communicated with the first connecting tube 62. The air outlet end of the first connecting tube 62 is fixedly communicated with the second spiral tube 63. The air outlet end of the second spiral tube 63 is fixedly communicated with the third spiral tube 64. The third spiral tube 64 is vertically arranged on the right side inside the box body 3. The second spiral tube 63 is located between the first spiral tube 61 and the third spiral tube 64. The air outlet end of the third spiral tube 64 is fixedly communicated with the second connecting tube 65. The air outlet end of the second connecting tube 65 is fixedly communicated with the heat source air outlet 2. The second spiral tube 63 surrounds the first stirring blades 76.

[0051] The arrangement of the first spiral tube 61, the second spiral tube 63, and the third spiral tube 64 forms a multi-level and multi-directional heat transfer path. After the high-temperature synthesis gas enters the first spiral tube 61 from the heat source inlet 1, it enters the second spiral tube 63 through the first connecting tube 62, then passes through the third spiral tube 64, and finally is discharged from the heat source outlet 2 through the second connecting tube 65. This multi-level and multi-directional flow pattern enables heat to be more evenly distributed throughout the entire box body 3, avoiding local overheating or overcooling. Moreover, the second spiral tube 63 is arranged to surround the first stirring blade 76. This design allows heat to be transferred more directly to the saline solution near the first stirring blade 76, and through the rotation of the stirring blade, the heat is more evenly dispersed throughout the saline solution. The rotation of the first stirring blade 76 not only promotes the flow of the saline solution but also enhances the convective and conductive effects of heat, thereby improving the uniformity of heating. Due to the cooperative action of the heat exchange tube assembly 6 and the stirring blade, the saline solution is heated more evenly, and the evaporation rate is thus increased. The uniformly heated solution enables the water in the solution to evaporate more quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of evaporation and concentration. Under the stirring action of the first stirring blade 76, the heat in the solution can be more evenly dispersed, avoiding problems such as solution scaling and blockage caused by local overheating. This not only improves the operating stability of the equipment but also extends the service life of the equipment.

[0052] Among them, the stirring assembly 7 further includes a sealing box 77, a second bearing seat 78, a third bearing seat 79, a first bevel gear 710, a second bevel gear 711, a second rotating shaft 712, and a second stirring blade 713. The sealing box 77 is fixed to the lower part inside the box body 3. Both the upper and lower side walls inside the sealing box 77 are fixed with second bearing seats 78. The bottom end of the first rotating shaft 75 passes through the sealing box 77 and the second bearing seat 78 and extends below the sealing box 77 to be fixed with a descaling scraper 8. The first bevel gear 710 is located inside the sealing box 77 and is fixed to the first rotating shaft 75. Third bearing seats 79 are fixed to both the left and right side walls inside the sealing box 77. The inner end of the second rotating shaft 712 is fixed with a second bevel gear 711. The second bevel gear 711 meshes with the first bevel gear 710. The outer end of the second rotating shaft 712 passes through the side wall of the sealing box 77 and the third bearing seat 79 and extends outside the sealing box 77 to be fixed with a second stirring blade 713. The second stirring blade 713 is arranged perpendicular to the first stirring blade 76. The second stirring blade 713 is located below the first stirring blade 76. The second spiral tube 63 surrounds the second stirring blade 713. A sealing arrangement is provided between the first rotating shaft 75 and the sealing box 77, and between the second rotating shaft 712 and the sealing box 77.

[0053] The first rotating shaft 75 rotates, driving the first bevel gear 710 to rotate, causing the second bevel gear 711 to rotate, driving the second rotating shaft 712 to rotate, and further driving the second stirring blade 713 to rotate. The settings of the first stirring blade 76 and the second stirring blade 713 enable the stirring assembly 7 to stir the saline solution in multiple directions. This multi-dimensional stirring method enables the saline solution to be fully stirred in three-dimensional space, enhancing the convection intensity of the saline solution, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency and the uniformity of heat reception, and further reducing the occurrence of scaling. The vertical setting and rotation of the second stirring blade 713 also enable the particles and salts at the bottom of the solution to be effectively stirred up, reducing the possibility of bottom sedimentation. When the particles and salts in the saline solution are stirred up, they will rub against the inner walls of the stirring assembly 7 and the box body 3, thereby helping to remove the dirt and scale adhering to them. In summary, the special settings of the first stirring blade 76 and the second stirring blade 713, and the way they achieve linkage stirring through the cooperation of the first bevel gear 710 and the second bevel gear 711, bring significant benefits to the uniformity of heat reception and anti-scaling of the saline solution.

[0056] It has the effects of efficient and convenient online descaling, deep cleaning and non-destructive protection, flexible adaptation and structural optimization, and improved cleaning efficiency and convenience.

[0057] Efficient and convenient online descaling: When descaling is required using the first brush 23 and the second brush 27, the compressor 14 inputs compressed air through the air pipe 15 into the first cavity 28, pushing the piston 18, the push rod 19, and the first push seat 20 to move downward in sequence, causing the first brush 23 to extend out of the cross plate 81. At the same time, the first push seat 20 drives the left and right second push seats 24 to move outward through the inclined plane cooperation, driving the second brush 27 to extend out of the vertical plate 82, achieving full - range online brush descaling and cleaning. Without additional complex operations, the descaling process can be quickly started. After the cleaning task is completed, the first push seat 20 resets upward under the action of the first spring 22, causing the first brush 23 to retract into the cross plate 81; the second push seat 24 resets inward under the action of the second spring 26, and the second brush 27 retracts into the vertical plate 82.

[0058] Efficient and convenient online descaling: The brush has a soft material and fine bristles, which can penetrate into the tiny gaps and uneven surfaces that are difficult for the descaling scraper 8 to reach, and conduct detailed and comprehensive cleaning on the inner wall of the box body 3, effectively removing stubborn dirt and deposits. Different from hard cleaning tools, the brush will not cause damage to the inner wall of the box body 3 during the cleaning process, while ensuring the cleaning effect, it extends the service life of the box body 3.

[0059] Flexible adaptation and structural optimization: The first brush 23 and the second brush 27 can be telescoped as needed, extending for cleaning when needed and retracting when not needed. This not only avoids unnecessary wear or interference to the inner wall of the box body 3, but also makes the overall structure more compact, facilitating the operation of the equipment under different working conditions. This design also realizes the complementary advantages of the descaling scraper 8 and the brush. First, use the scraper to remove large - area and harder dirt, and then extend the first brush 23 and the second brush 27 to clean the remaining fine dirt, significantly improving the descaling effect and efficiency.

[0060] Improve cleaning efficiency and convenience: Users can quickly switch the extended and retracted states of the brush, quickly adapt to different cleaning needs, and reduce the time waste during the cleaning process. At the same time, integrating the first brush 23, the second brush 27, and the descaling scraper 8 into one reduces the number and types of cleaning tools, making the operation more convenient. In addition, it can synchronously achieve the synchronous telescoping of the first brush 23 at the bottom and the second brushes 27 on the left and right sides, further simplifying the operation process and improving the overall efficiency of the cleaning work.
