Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water treatment, and particularly to a high-efficiency clarification device for desulfurization wastewater and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Desulfurization wastewater comes from the flue gas desulfurization system of thermal power plants, and is characterized by high water temperature, high suspended solid concentration, high COD, and acidic pH value. At present, the power industries in developed foreign countries are in a period of transformation, and the zero-discharge technology of desulfurization wastewater from coal-fired power plants has stagnated. The traditional desulfurization wastewater treatment process is neutralization and precipitation treatment, and then after steps such as flocculation, clarification, and concentration, the clear water is recycled, and the wastewater is transported out for disposal after sludge dewatering. With the continuous improvement of China's environmental protection requirements, the demand for desulfurization wastewater disposal in coal-fired power plants has also been continuously increasing.

[0003] Pretreatment is the first step in treating desulfurization wastewater. In this process, suspended solids, soluble pollutants, and heavy metal ions in the wastewater can be removed to prevent them from interfering with subsequent processes. The common pretreatment technology is the precipitation method, which uses chemical dosing flocculation combined with physical precipitation to remove suspended substances in the wastewater.

[0004] Although the existing sedimentation tanks can achieve the purpose of high-efficiency precipitation by adding inclined plates, part of the added coagulants and flocculants will dissolve in the water body, thus affecting the product quality of the subsequent zero-discharge process, resulting in low system recycling rate and poor economy; at the same time, desulfurization wastewater itself has a certain viscosity, low thermal conductivity, and poor heat transfer ability. The inlet water temperature of the desulfurization slurry in the sedimentation tank is generally above 50°C. During the precipitation process, the water temperature at the upper and lower parts drops rapidly, and the water temperature in the middle is higher. Due to the internal temperature difference in the sedimentation tank, a convection phenomenon is continuously formed, the hotter part rises, and the colder part drops, circulating and mixing with each other, resulting in high turbidity of the water produced by the sedimentation tank and poor operation effect; in addition, due to the characteristics of high suspended solids in desulfurization wastewater, the added inclined plates are easily contaminated and need to be drained and manually cleaned frequently, resulting in difficulty in long-term stable operation.

[0005] The purpose of this solution is to solve the problems of low system recycling rate caused by adding coagulants and flocculants during the operation of the desulfurization wastewater clarification pretreatment equipment, poor operation effect caused by the convection phenomenon formed by the internal temperature difference of the desulfurization slurry in the sedimentation tank, and easy contamination of the inclined plates caused by a large amount of mud. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention discloses a high-efficiency clarification device for desulfurization wastewater and an application method thereof, which can perform real-time temperature control on the desulfurization wastewater in the clarification tank; at the same time, the design of the heat exchange tubes can automatically clean the packing in the clarification tank through the water hammer phenomenon, reduce the convection phenomenon caused by the internal temperature difference, and reduce the maintenance frequency, thereby achieving the purpose of high-efficiency precipitation.

[0007] An efficient clarification device for desulfurized wastewater, comprising a main body of a clarification tank. Inside the main body of the clarification tank, there are successively arranged an upper heat exchanger, heat exchange tubes, and a lower heat exchanger from top to bottom. The bottom of the heat exchange tubes is connected to a pipeline support, and the top is provided with clarification tank packing. One end of the pipeline support is connected to the bottom of a sedimentation tank inside the main body of the clarification tank. A sludge discharge port is provided at the bottom of the sedimentation tank. One end of the upper heat exchanger is connected to an upper heat exchanger water inlet, and the other end is connected to an upper heat exchanger water outlet. One end of the heat exchange tubes is connected to a middle heat exchange tube water inlet, and the other end is connected to a middle heat exchange tube water outlet. One end of the lower heat exchanger is connected to a lower heat exchange tube water inlet, and the other end is connected to a lower heat exchange tube water outlet. At the front end of the main body of the clarification tank, there are successively arranged a desulfurized wastewater outlet and a desulfurized wastewater inlet.

[0008] Further, the middle heat exchange tube water inlet and the middle heat exchange tube water outlet are respectively connected to the heat exchange tubes through flexible connecting tubes.

[0009] Further, the flexible connecting tube is a steel wire braided tube or a plastic hose.

[0010] Further, a shock absorption device is installed between the pipeline support and the heat exchange tubes to reduce the influence of the vibration of the heat exchange tubes on the pipeline support, and it can be a spring, a pneumatic buffer or other shock absorption devices.

[0011] Further, the shock absorption device is a spring or a pneumatic buffer.

[0012] Further, the clarification tank packing is fixed on the heat exchange tubes by bundling, welding or filling and pressing.

[0013] Further, the upper heat exchanger, the heat exchange tubes and the lower heat exchanger operate independently, and the heat exchange media of the three do not flow through each other.

[0014] Further, the medium in the heat exchanger adopts concentrated brine, industrial wastewater, tap water or other low-temperature media in the desulfurized wastewater treatment process;

[0015] Further, the packing material of the clarification tank packing is a PP inclined plate, a PVC inclined plate or a steel plate.

[0016] Further, temperature sensors are arranged on the upper heat exchanger, the heat exchange tubes and the lower heat exchanger.

[0019] Step 2: The concentrated brine serves as the heat exchange medium and enters the upper heat exchanger, the middle heat exchange tubes, and the lower heat exchange tubes through the upper heat exchanger water inlet, the middle heat exchange tube water inlet, and the lower heat exchange tube water inlet for heat exchange. The flow rate is dynamically adjusted according to the data of the temperature sensor.

[0020] Furthermore, when the packed clarifier is blocked, the flow rate of the middle heat exchange tube water inlet is increased, and the water hammer effect is utilized to vibrate the clarifier packing to achieve self-cleaning.

[0021] Furthermore, the flow rate of the heat exchange medium is calculated by the following formula:
