TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of seawater treatment, and particularly relates to a device and method for coproduction of non-edible salt and fresh water based on seawater evaporation crystallization. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasingly serious problem of global freshwater resource shortage, seawater desalination and salt resource recovery technology has become an important way to solve the water crisis in coastal areas. As of 2025, the global seawater desalination daily output has broken through 35 million cubic meters. However, the traditional technology generally has problems of high energy consumption and low utilization efficiency of by-products. Non-edible salt, as an important by-product of seawater desalination, is widely used in industrial production (such as chemical raw materials, snow melting agent) and agricultural fields.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream seawater desalination technologies include reverse osmosis (RO), multi-stage flash evaporation (MSF) and multi-effect distillation (MED). Although the reverse osmosis technology has low energy consumption (1-5 kWh / m³), it needs pretreatment to remove suspended solids and colloids, and improper treatment of concentrated brine can easily cause secondary pollution. The multi-stage flash evaporation and multi-effect distillation rely on heat energy driving, and the energy consumption is as high as 12.7-15.0 kWh / m³, and the equipment investment and land occupation are large. In addition, the MVR (mechanical vapor recompression) technology can also be used in the field of seawater desalination. In the MVR technology, the falling film evaporator relies on the film distributor to uniformly distribute seawater to the inlet of each tube bundle, and a conical flow guide cap is used to form a continuous liquid film on the inner wall of the tube bundle. After long-term use, the inner wall of the tube bundle may be scaled (calcium and magnesium ions (total hardness 1.2-1.8 g / L in terms of CaCO3), sulfate (2.7-3.0 g / L in terms of SO4 2- When the liquid film is heated and evaporated on the inner wall of the tube bundle, the water rapidly vaporizes, causing a sudden increase in local concentration: calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has a significantly decreased solubility at a temperature >60℃, and is easy to form hard scale (thermal conductivity is only 0.5-1.0 W / (m·K), which is 1 / 50-1 / 100 of carbon steel) on the heat transfer surface; magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is easy to form needle-shaped crystals when the supersaturation degree >1.5, and is attached to the tube wall with the liquid film, especially in the area where the liquid film is thin; if the thickness of the liquid film is uneven (such as locally thinner than 0.3 mm), the heat transfer rate in this area suddenly increases (the heat flux can reach 5000-8000 W / m²), causing instantaneous evaporation of water, and the salts are attached to the tube wall in the form of "spattering crystallization"; in addition, the greater the temperature difference (usually 10-30℃) between the heat transfer surface and the liquid film, the stronger the supersaturation driving, and the scaling rate increases exponentially (for every 5℃ increase in temperature difference, the scaling rate increases by about 20%), etc. After scaling, the heat transfer efficiency is greatly reduced, the evaporation capacity is attenuated, the energy consumption is increased, and the operating cost is increased.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] REFERENCE Figures 1-9The application provides a device for co-production of non-edible salt and fresh water based on seawater evaporation and crystallization, which comprises a separator 1, a compressor 2 and a falling film evaporator. The falling film evaporator comprises a processing cylinder 3, a first baffle 4, a second baffle 5 and a tube bundle 6. The falling film evaporator further comprises a film distributor 13 which is fixedly installed in a liquid distribution cavity 7. The film distributor 13 is used for uniformly distributing seawater on the first baffle 4. The inner diameter of the tube bundle 6 is greater than 30 mm. The first baffle 4 and the second baffle 5 are fixedly installed in the processing cylinder 3. The first baffle 4 and the second baffle 5 divide the processing cylinder 3 into the liquid distribution cavity 7, a heating cavity 8 and a liquid falling cavity 9 which are arranged in an upper-middle-lower mode. The tube bundle 6 is located in the heating cavity 8. The two ends of the tube bundle 6 respectively penetrate through the first baffle 4 and the second baffle 5 and are communicated with the liquid distribution cavity 7 and the liquid falling cavity 9. The separator 1 is communicated with the liquid falling cavity 9. The separator 1 is communicated with the compressor 2. The compressor 2 is communicated with the heating cavity 8. Seawater is transported into the liquid distribution cavity 7 and uniformly injected into the tube bundle 6 through the film distributor 13, and a liquid film is formed on the inner wall of the tube bundle 6. A supporting frame 10 is arranged below the processing cylinder 3. An evaporation disc 11 is installed on the supporting frame 10 in a lifting mode. In addition, a supporting frame is needed to support the separator 1, the compressor 2 and the falling film evaporator. An evaporation groove is formed in the top surface of the evaporation disc 11. A heat transfer mechanism is arranged between the processing cylinder 3 and the evaporation disc 11. The heat transfer mechanism is used for transferring steam heat in the heating cavity 8 to the evaporation disc 11.After the water in the seawater is evaporated, the concentrated liquid gathers and drops into the liquid falling cavity 9, and the concentrated liquid is discharged to the evaporation groove of the evaporation disc 11 for evaporation crystallization to produce salt. The heat transfer mechanism includes pipelines and valves, and the evaporation disc 11 is internally laid with a coil pipe. The steam in the heating cavity 8 is transported to the coil pipe by the pipeline to heat the evaporation disc 11, thereby accelerating the evaporation crystallization of the concentrated liquid. In addition, the steam after waste heat utilization is cooled into fresh water by the condenser, ensuring that most of the steam is condensed into fresh water. The evaporation disc 11 is fixedly connected with a vertically arranged guide rod 12 which slidably penetrates the bottom of the processing cylinder 3 and extends into the tube bundle 6. The axis of the tube bundle 6 coincides with the axis of the guide rod 12. The tube bundle 6 is provided with a wall scraping mechanism which can scrape the inner wall of the tube bundle 6. When the guide rod 12 moves up and down, the guide rod 12 can drive the wall scraping mechanism to operate. The processing cylinder 3 is provided with a liquid control mechanism for discharging the water in the liquid falling cavity 9 to the evaporation groove. When the guide rod 12 moves up and down, the guide rod 12 can drive the liquid control mechanism to move. In actual conditions, seawater is transported into the processing cylinder 3 for heating and evaporation treatment. The water in the seawater is evaporated into the separator 1. The steam is separated again in the separator 1. The compressor 2 compresses the steam in the separator 1 to increase the temperature and pressure of the steam. The compressed steam is transported into the heating cavity 8 to heat and evaporate the liquid film in the tube bundle 6. The steam in the heating cavity 8 is transported into the evaporation disc 11 to heat and evaporate the concentrated liquid in the evaporation groove. The effect of evaporation is improved. At the same time, the guide rod 12 transmits the temperature on the evaporation disc 11 to the concentrated liquid to heat the concentrated liquid at different depths, ensuring the effect of evaporation. In addition, the discharge of the concentrated liquid is controlled by the lifting movement of the evaporation disc 11. The discharge of the concentrated liquid can be controlled according to the evaporation crystallization. In addition, when the guide rod 12 descends, the wall scraping mechanism can scrape the scale on the inner wall of the tube bundle 6, ensuring the heating and evaporation treatment of the liquid film and reducing energy consumption. The guide rod 12 can also transmit the temperature of the evaporation disc 11 to the tube bundle 6.

[0039] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 , the ejection assembly includes an ejection inclined block 18, which is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the guide rod 12. The scraping block 15 is provided with a trapezoidal groove in sliding cooperation with the ejection inclined block 18. When the guide rod 12 descends, the guide rod 12 drives the ejection inclined block 18 to move downward synchronously. Since the sleeve rod 14 cannot be lifted, the inclined surface of the ejection inclined block 18 and the inclined surface of the trapezoidal groove slide to eject the scraping block 15 out of the receiving groove, so that the scraping block 15 abuts against the inner wall of the tube bundle 6.
[0040] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown in the middle, the rotating guide assembly includes a connecting sleeve 19 and a sliding shaft 20; the connecting sleeve 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the film distributor 13, the top end of the sleeve rod 14 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 19, and the sliding shaft 20 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the guide rod 12.

A straight sliding groove 21 and a spiral sliding groove 22 are formed in the inner wall of the lifting hole and are in sliding cooperation with the sliding shaft 20. The bottom end of the straight sliding groove 21 communicates with the top end of the spiral sliding groove 22. In actual conditions, when the scraping block 15 is driven to slide out of the receiving groove, the guide rod 12 drives the sliding shaft 20 to slide in the straight sliding groove 21. When the guide rod 12 continues to descend into the spiral sliding groove 22, the sliding shaft 20 slides in the spiral sliding groove 22. The movement track of the sliding shaft 20 is spiral. The sliding shaft 20 drives the guide rod 12 to rotate synchronously. The guide rod 12 drives the sleeve rod 14 to rotate synchronously. The sleeve rod 14 drives the extended scraping block 15 to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving the wiping and cleaning of the inner wall of the tube bundle 6.
[0041] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the liquid control mechanism includes a separation plate 23, a first blocking assembly and a second blocking assembly. The separation plate 23 is fixedly installed in the liquid falling cavity 9, and separates the bottom of the liquid falling cavity 9 into a liquid storage cavity 24. The separation plate 23 is provided with a communication hole communicating the liquid falling cavity 9 and the liquid storage cavity 24. The first blocking assembly can block the communication hole, and the guide rod 12 can drive the first blocking assembly to open and close the communication hole. The bottom of the processing cylinder 3 is provided with a liquid outlet communicating with the liquid storage cavity 24. The second blocking assembly can block the liquid outlet, and the guide rod 12 can drive the second blocking assembly to open and close the liquid outlet. In the specific operation process, the concentrated liquid drops into the liquid falling cavity 9, and the guide rod 12 is lifted to drive the first blocking assembly to open the communication hole, and the concentrated liquid in the communication hole is discharged into the liquid storage cavity 24. At this time, the second blocking assembly blocks the liquid outlet to reduce the accidental spraying of high-temperature concentrated liquid. The high-temperature concentrated liquid is discharged into the liquid storage cavity 24 for cooling treatment (30-40°C), and then the cooled concentrated liquid is discharged from the liquid outlet into the evaporation tank for evaporation and crystallization treatment. When the guide rod 12 moves downward, the communication hole is blocked, and the guide rod 12 continues to move downward. The guide rod 12 opens the second blocking assembly to discharge the cooled concentrated liquid.

[0043] The operation method is as follows:
[0044] S1, seawater pretreatment; suspended solids and colloidal removal, seawater first enters the flocculation sedimentation tank, and flocculants such as polyaluminum chloride (PAC) are added (the dosage is generally 5-15 mg / L), so that the suspended particles and colloidal substances in the seawater form larger flocs, which are removed by sedimentation. Subsequently, the seawater flows into a multi-medium filter, which is internally filled with quartz sand, anthracite and other filter materials, further filtering the remaining fine particles, so that the seawater turbidity is reduced to below 1 NTU, meeting the requirements of subsequent treatment; germicidal and algicidal treatment, to prevent microorganisms from breeding in the equipment and causing biofouling problems, the filtered seawater enters the ultraviolet germicidal lamp, which uses ultraviolet irradiation (dose generally 30-40 mJ / cm²) to destroy the DNA structure of microorganisms, killing bacteria, algae and other microorganisms in seawater. Some projects can also use chlorine dioxide disinfection, with a dosage of 0.5-1.5 mg / L to ensure the sterilization effect while avoiding the production of too many harmful by-products; hardness reduction and boron removal treatment, since calcium and magnesium ions (total hardness of 1.2-1.8 g / L as CaCO3) in seawater can easily cause evaporator scaling, softening treatment is needed, which can be achieved by ion exchange resin softening method. Through strong acid cation exchange resin, calcium and magnesium ions in seawater are exchanged with sodium ions on the resin, reducing the content of calcium and magnesium ions in seawater to below 50 mg / L. For boron elements (content about 5-8 mg / L), which are harmful to the human body and difficult to remove, special ion exchange resin or reverse osmosis boron removal process can be used to reduce the boron content to below 0.5 mg / L, meeting the fresh water quality requirements.
[0045] S2, the pretreated seawater enters the falling film evaporator, under the action of the film distributor 13, the seawater is uniformly distributed on the inner wall of the tube bundle 6, forming a continuous liquid film with a thickness of about 0.5-2 mm (the film distributor 13 can be a tooth slot type, spiral flow type or perforated plate type, etc., such as a tooth slot type film distributor which distributes seawater through 2-5 mm wide equal-width tooth slots), the falling film evaporator shell is connected to the secondary steam compressed by the compressor 2 as a heat source, and the seawater in the tube bundle absorbs heat to start evaporation, generating secondary steam. To ensure the stability of the evaporation process, the flow rate of the seawater should be controlled at 1.5-3 m / s, and a stable liquid level of 50-100 mm above the film distributor 13 should be maintained to form a constant water head difference. The concentrated liquid produced by the evaporation of seawater falls into the liquid falling chamber 9, and the water in the seawater is evaporated into the separator 1 for further separation. The compressor 2 works to compress and increase the pressure and temperature of the steam in the separator 1, and then the steam with increased pressure and temperature is transported to the heating chamber 8 to heat the seawater in the tube bundle 6.
[0046] S3, the concentrated liquid (salt concentration up to 25%-30%) in the liquid falling chamber 9 is discharged into the evaporation tank on the evaporation disc 11 for evaporation and crystallization;
[0047] S4, the steam in the heating cavity 8 is delivered to the evaporation disc 11 through the heat transfer mechanism and the concentrated liquid in the evaporation groove is heated and evaporated;
[0048] S5, the steam in the evaporation disc 11 is delivered to the condenser for condensation treatment.
