Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of water pollution control and ecological restoration, and particularly relates to an in-situ reduction and clean restoration equipment and process method for water body sediment, aiming to solve problems such as high cost of sediment treatment and disposal and high environmental risks. Background Art

[0002] Water eutrophication refers to the phenomenon that the contents of nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in water bodies are too high, leading to the overgrowth of algae and other aquatic plants, which can cause problems such as water blooms, hypoxia and even black odor, damaging the aquatic ecosystem and water quality.

[0003] River and lake sediments are important reservoirs of water pollution substances, adsorbing and depositing a large amount of harmful components such as organic matters, heavy metals and nutrients. These pollutants may release the pollutants back into the water body through resuspension and dissolution, becoming an important internal pollution source affecting and restricting the water quality of rivers and lakes, posing a serious threat to the health of the water ecosystem. Therefore, the research on the treatment and disposal of river and lake sediments and water ecological restoration technology is particularly important.

[0004] The composition of river and lake sediments is complex, with inorganic substances dominating, including quartz, various clay minerals and feldspar minerals, and at the same time containing a small amount of carbonate and trace amounts of sulfate, phosphate and organic matter. Its particle composition is mainly divided into gravel, sand, silt and clay, among which the proportion of gravel is about 5%, and the proportion of sand and silt can be as high as about 75%. The distribution of pollutants in river and lake sediments shows obvious non-uniformity, and this difference is closely related to the particle size of the sediment, resulting in significant differences in the concentration and types of pollutants contained in sediments of different particle sizes. The pollutant content in river, lake and reservoir sediments is closely related to the particle gradation and composition of the sediment. In particular, the content of organic matter, total nitrogen and heavy metals in the sediment shows a high correlation with the content of fine particles. Fine particle substances, especially clay particles, due to their large specific surface area and abundant active groups such as metal oxides, show strong ability to adsorb and retain pollutants, and contribute most significantly in the process of phosphorus adsorption. The influence of particle size on the phosphorus adsorption amount is significant, and the adsorption amount ranking is: silt-clay mixture > silt > fine sand > very fine sand. Therefore, in the work of sediment pollution control and restoration, it is very necessary to separate particles of different particle sizes and pay special attention to the management and treatment of fine particle substances.

[0005] Traditional sediment treatment technologies are mainly divided into in-situ remediation technologies and ex-situ remediation technologies. Ex-situ remediation technologies, such as traditional dredging projects, aim to remove sediment from water bodies. A large amount of dredged sludge generated by dredging needs to be treated and disposed of, which not only has high treatment costs but also requires a large amount of disposal space for landfilling dredged soil, making it difficult to implement. In-situ remediation technologies, on the other hand, treat sediment in-situ through physical, chemical, biological and other technical means, without the need for sediment disposal space and can reduce treatment costs, and have received increasing attention. However, these technologies mainly focus on how to remove or degrade sediment pollution, without correlating pollutant and sediment particle size distribution characteristics, resulting in low treatment efficiency or high costs.

[0006] To address these challenges, in view of the non-discrimination in the treatment and disposal of dredged sediment, Patent No. CN108218181A proposed a system and method for deep classification treatment of river and lake sediment, which deeply separates dredged sediment through three modules: sediment transportation, deep classification and mechanical dewatering, and realizes resource utilization. Patent No. CN110862212A discloses a system and process for classification treatment and resource utilization of river and lake sediment. This technology realizes the classified resource utilization of river and lake sediment through separation, sorting and dewatering processes. However, it is necessary to transport the dredged sediment to the treatment module, which increases transportation costs and environmental risks, and there are limitations in the coordination and integration between modules. Classifying and screening sediment can specifically treat sediment with different particle sizes, improve treatment efficiency and effect, and thus reduce treatment costs. Especially for sediment with less pollution, it can be directly backfilled or used for other purposes to avoid unnecessary treatment costs.

[0007] In recent years, some researchers have proposed in-situ purification and restoration of sediment through large ships. Patent No. CN108911461A discloses an in-situ reduction and disposal ship for river sediment pollutants. By setting a control module inside the ship, the cleaning and suction of sediment are realized, and the purification efficiency of sludge is improved through a slurry biological purification device and a mud-water separation device. Although the in-situ purification and restoration of sediment through large ships on the water operation platform cause less damage to the original ecological environment of river sediment, there is often a lack of effective integrated treatment and restoration means, and there are still deficiencies in the refinement, automation and intelligence of sediment treatment. Therefore, in terms of the integrated classification treatment of sediment, the effective removal of pollutants and the in-situ restoration of clean sediment, existing technical equipment is difficult to meet the efficient and environmental governance requirements. Currently, there is a lack of complete technical processes and equipment that can realize the in-situ reduction and clean restoration of sediment in large eutrophic water bodies.

[0008] Therefore, in view of the above problems, a device and method for in-situ reduction and clean restoration of water body sediment are proposed. Summary of the Invention

The travel of the paving ship 30 is the same as that of the self-propelled satellite mud tank 27. When the discharging is completed, the paving ship 30 starts to enter the travel operation. The material of the hull support structure is preferably high-strength stainless steel with high strength, corrosion resistance and light weight, powered by a new energy battery, and regularly goes to the multi-functional hull working platform for charging. The paving device is mainly composed of a compaction roller 31. The diameter range of the roller is 0.3-0.5 m, which is solid steel wrapped with stainless steel material and flexibly connected by anchor chains on both sides. It is lifted during non-working periods and placed on the underwater mud surface during working periods, and is towed by the paving ship. It levels and compacts the mud material discharged on the mud surface by its gravity and rotary rolling.

[0070] Specifically, the positioning module 33 integrates a multi-beam sounder and a Beidou satellite navigation system, which can obtain underwater three-dimensional terrain data in real time to achieve precise positioning and navigation. The automatic control module integrates sensor data, positioning information and operation instructions to realize the automatic control of the paving operation and ensure the accuracy and uniformity of the paving operation.

[0071] This in-situ reduction and clean restoration equipment for water body sediment is equipped with a cutter suction dredger 12, a multi-functional hull water working platform 13, and an automated underwater paving equipment 14. This equipment can achieve low-disturbance excavation, airtight transportation, classification treatment, resource utilization, and in-situ restoration of sediment, significantly reducing treatment costs and environmental risks.

[0072] A method for using an in-situ reduction and clean restoration equipment for water body sediment includes the following steps:

[0073] Step 1: The cutter suction dredger 12 conducts dredging by cutter suction and transports the dredged sediment to the mud buffer bin 15 on the working platform through a pipeline. The first stirring device 16 inside the mud buffer bin 15 operates to ensure the uniform composition of the mud and prevent sedimentation.

[0074] Step 2: The mud entering the impurity removal tank 17 undergoes preliminary sedimentation and removal of large particles. The separation of large and heavy impurities such as stones, plastic products, and metal products is achieved by setting a grille and controlling the flow rate and residence time. The impurity removal tank 17 is connected to a drum screen 18 through a mud pump and a pipeline. The large particles with a particle size > 5 mm screened out by the drum screen 18 are used for landfilling outside.

[0075] The mud with a particle size ≤ 5 mm screened by the drum screen 18 is transported to a vibrating screen 19. The particles with a size of 2 - 5 mm are screened out for landfilling outside, and the remaining mud with a size ≤ 2 mm is collected and input into a multi-stage hydrocyclone system 20 for further screening.

[0076] The mud with a particle size of 20 μm - 2 mm screened by the multi-stage hydrocyclone system 20 is discharged from the underflow port and transported to the mud dewatering unit. The mud with a particle size less than 20 μm discharged from the overflow pipe of the multi-stage hydrocyclone system 20 enters the subsequent sediment purification unit.

[0077] Step 3: For the mud transported to the mud dewatering unit, a mechanical dewatering device 21 is used to reduce its moisture content to less than 55%, and then it is transported to the mixing and filling unit through a belt conveyor.

[0078] Step 4: For the mud transported to the sediment purification unit, the fine particles with a size ≤ 20 μm in the mud are treated by physical and chemical measures through a coagulation reactor 22, a high-intensity magnetic separation device 23, and a plate and frame filter press 24. Finally, through pressure filtration and dehydration, a mud cake with a moisture content lower than 40% is formed and then transported outside for onshore treatment and disposal.

[0079] Step 5: For the sediment transported to the mixing and filling unit, a sediment repair agent is added through a repair agent feeding device 25, and it is stirred and mixed by a second stirring device 26 to achieve the repair and improvement of the sediment. Then the mixed sediment is transported to a self-propelled satellite mud tank 27 for temporary storage.

[0080] Step 6, the self-propelled satellite mud tank 27 discharges materials according to a preset path: the slurry in the self-propelled satellite mud tank 27 enters the storage bin 1, then enters the mud inlet hopper 2, the motor 4 drives the propeller drive 3 to rotate, driving the slurry to be discharged from the discharge port 6, through the underwater discharge hose 8 and discharged from the duckbill discharge port 9 and conveyed to the mud-water interface; the discharge rate is 0.1 - 0.25 m per linear meter 3 ;

[0081] Step 7, the paving ship 30 drives the compaction roller 31 through the power module 32 to pave and compact the discharged slurry to form a clean layer of 0.2 - 0.4 m. The discharge rate of the self-propelled satellite mud tank is 0.1 - 0.25 m per linear meter 3 , and the tank capacity is 100 - 300 m 3 .

[0082] The in-situ reduction and clean restoration equipment and usage method for the bottom mud of this water body incorporate green and safe restoration materials into the restored bottom mud, forming a protective layer on the surface of the sediment, achieving long-term in-situ restoration, significantly reducing the pollution release amount of the lower bottom mud; promoting the self-restoration and natural healthy succession of the water ecosystem, significantly improving the self-purification ability and water environment capacity of the water body. Through in-situ treatment and restoration, a large amount of bottom mud is avoided from being stacked and disposed of elsewhere, reducing the demand for the disposal space of dredged bottom mud by more than 70%; the in-situ paving and restoration of the bottom mud can form a clean layer with a thickness of 0.2 - 0.4 m, reducing the adverse impact on the water ecosystem and the risk of secondary pollution, and having significant environmental and economic benefits.

[0083] At the same time, the equipment integrates multiple links such as cutter suction dredging, slurry treatment, mixing and filling, and underwater paving, realizing the in-situ reduction and clean restoration of the bottom mud within the water area, without the need for land operations, avoiding the off-site transportation and treatment of the bottom mud, and significantly reducing the treatment cost and environmental pollution risk. It has flexible operation capabilities: the scale of the multi-functional hull working platform and the configuration of each treatment unit can be designed and built according to actual needs, and is equipped with a self-propelled satellite mud tank to realize the discharge of the restored bottom mud, enabling this process to quickly adapt to different operating environments and requirements, with high flexibility and scalability. Through the slurry separation unit and purification unit on the multi-functional hull working platform, efficient classification treatment of the bottom mud is achieved, while reducing the transportation cost of the dredged bottom mud and the demand for disposal space, reducing the use of chemical agents for bottom mud treatment, and reducing the impact on the environment. The equipment is equipped with an automated control system and an intelligent positioning module, which can monitor the slurry state in real time, adjust the treatment parameters, and achieve precise positioning and automated operation of underwater paving, improving the accuracy and uniformity of the operation, and reducing manual intervention. A low-disturbance environmental protection cutter suction dredger and wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant material pipelines are used, reducing the secondary pollution to the water body. At the same time, new energy batteries are used to provide power for the underwater paving equipment and are charged regularly, meeting the green and low-carbon environmental protection concept.
