TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air flotation oil removal, and particularly relates to a cyclone air flotation oil removal device and an oil-water separation process. BACKGROUND
[0002] The cyclone air flotation oil removal device is a high-efficiency oil-water separation device integrating cyclone separation technology and air flotation separation technology, and is widely applied to oil-containing wastewater treatment scenes in the fields of petroleum chemical industry, steel metallurgy, and oil-containing wastewater of ships. In the specific working process, the oil-containing wastewater forms a rotating flow field in the cyclone cavity, and oil droplets are gathered to the center of the cavity and water phase migrates to the cavity wall under the action of centrifugal force by using the density difference between oil phase and water phase, so that preliminary oil-water layering is completed. At the same time, the oil-containing wastewater is introduced into the air flotation tank, and air bubbles are introduced. The air bubbles adhere to the oil droplets and impurity floc in the wastewater by surface tension, form composite flocs with a density much smaller than water, and float to the surface of the wastewater under the action of Archimedes buoyancy.
[0003] The existing patent with the publication number CN115124104A discloses a cyclone air flotation oil removal system for oil-containing wastewater, which comprises a storage tank, a cyclone, a pressure gas dissolving tank, a bubble generator, an air compressor, and an air flotation oil removal tank. The storage tank is connected to the inlet of the cyclone through a first lifting pump, the outlet of the cyclone is connected to the inlet one of the pressure gas dissolving tank, the bubble generator is connected to the inlet two of the pressure gas dissolving tank through a second lifting pump, the air compressor is connected to the inlet three of the pressure gas dissolving tank, and the outlet of the pressure gas dissolving tank is connected to the air flotation oil removal tank through a third lifting pump. The top of the air flotation oil removal tank is provided with a through hole and a liquid collecting groove, and the liquid collecting groove is arranged around the peripheral wall of the air flotation oil removal tank and below the through hole. Although the above technical solution can remove oil by the cooperation of the cyclone and the air flotation oil removal tank, it has the advantage of reducing the corrosion of the treatment equipment.
[0004] In the prior art, the generation of air bubbles in the air flotation tank is mainly through the release of pressurized gas dissolved by the gas dissolving pump or directly into the wastewater through the gas hole structure of the aeration disc. However, the generated air bubbles are generally of a single size, or are micro-bubbles or large bubbles, which are difficult to adapt to the separation requirements of oil droplets of different particle sizes in oil-containing wastewater. If only micro-bubbles are used, although they can form effective adhesion with micro oil droplets in the wastewater, the slow rising speed of micro-bubbles and the weak disturbance effect on the wastewater make it difficult for the demulsifier and flocculant in the wastewater to fully mix with the oil-water emulsion, and part of the medium and large oil droplets are difficult to coalesce due to insufficient contact with air bubbles. If only large bubbles are used, although they can quickly carry medium and large oil droplets to the surface by large buoyancy, the specific surface area of the medium and large bubbles is significantly reduced, the collision contact probability with micro oil droplets is greatly reduced, and the problem of insufficient capture efficiency of micro oil droplets is easily caused.

[0054] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0055] Example 1, refer to Figures 1-2 The present invention provides a cyclone flotation oil removal device, including a tank 1 and an air injection pipe 2 coaxially disposed on the inner wall of the bottom of the tank 1, and further including:
[0056] The swirl assembly 3 is installed inside the tank 1.
[0057] Specifically, refer to Figures 2-3 The swirl assembly 3 includes a cylindrical body 31 fixedly installed inside the tank 1. The cylindrical body 31 has a mixing chamber 32, a pre-swirl chamber 33, a swirl chamber 34, a flow stabilizing chamber 35, and a sludge collection chamber 36 that are sequentially opened from bottom to top. An annular area is formed between the inner wall of the tank 1 and the outer wall of the cylindrical body 31. The annular area is used to form a secondary air flotation environment, which can perform secondary treatment on the residual water phase and further improve the oil removal efficiency.
[0058] The inlet pipe 4 is located on one side of the tank body 1 and extends into the mixing chamber 32. The outlet end of the inlet pipe 4 faces the tangential direction of the inner wall of the mixing chamber 32, which is used to realize the tangential inlet of oily wastewater.
[0059] The air distribution assembly 5 is coaxially disposed at the bottom of the mixing chamber 32.
[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figures 4-6 and Figure 10The air distribution assembly 5 comprises an air distribution disc 51 rotatably arranged at the bottom of the mixing chamber 32, an air inlet pipe 52 connected through the center of the bottom of the air distribution disc 51, a plurality of groups of cylindrical air holes 53 arranged in an array along the radial direction of the air distribution disc 51, a plurality of groups of spiral cover plates 54 covering the air distribution disc 51, and a plurality of groups of conical air holes 55 corresponding to the cylindrical air holes 53 and arranged on the spiral cover plates 54. Elastic diaphragms are arranged in the cylindrical air holes 53 and the conical air holes 55 to allow only airflow to pass through, thereby achieving a one-way sealing function. The inner diameter of the bottom of the conical air hole 55 is equal to the inner diameter of the cylindrical air hole 53, and the inner diameter of the top of the conical air hole 55 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical air hole 53. The plurality of groups of spiral cover plates 54 are fixedly connected through a connecting column 56, and the outer peripheral end of each group of spiral cover plates 54 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 32 through an L-shaped support 57. The air inlet pipe 52 extends into the gas injection pipe 2 and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the tank body 1 through a sealing bearing, allowing the air inlet pipe 52 to rotate in the gas injection pipe 2 while ensuring sealed delivery of the gas. Similarly, the air distribution disc 51 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mixing chamber 32 through a sealing bearing, effectively sealing the bottom of the mixing chamber 32 and preventing leakage of the medium in the mixing chamber 32.
[0061] It should be noted that the plurality of groups of cylindrical air holes 53 are distributed in multiple circles of equidistant spiral lines along the radial direction of the air distribution disc 51. The cylindrical air holes 53 arranged in spiral lines can guide the gas to be discharged along a spiral path, thereby enhancing the shearing contact between the gas and the oil-contaminated water in the mixing chamber 32, promoting the more uniform dispersion of the gas bubbles into the liquid, and avoiding local bubble concentration.
[0062] During use, when the air distribution disc 51 is intermittently rotated to place the cylindrical air holes 53 in a corresponding state with the conical air holes 55, the high-pressure gas delivered by the air inlet pipe 52 enters the inside of the air distribution disc 51 and then flows upward along the cylindrical air holes 53 and enters the corresponding conical air holes 55. Since the inner diameter of the bottom of the conical air hole 55 is equal to the inner diameter of the cylindrical air hole 53, and the inner diameter of the top of the conical air hole 55 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical air hole 53, the airflow in the conical air hole 55 is squeezed and accelerated, and finally released in the form of high-speed jet from the top of the conical air hole 55, breaking into tiny bubbles. When the air distribution disc 51 is intermittently rotated to place the cylindrical air holes 53 in a staggered state with the conical air holes 55, the airflow directly flows upward from the cylindrical air holes 53, and large bubbles are released at this time. The tiny bubbles can fully contact with the tiny oil droplets suspended in the water body, forming a stable composite flocculation structure that is not easily broken by flow field disturbance during the rising process, avoiding the re-dispersion of oil droplets into the water. The large bubbles can quickly carry medium and large oil droplets to float, and by alternating the generation of the two types of bubbles, the problems of insufficient mixing and low capture efficiency caused by a single bubble size are avoided.
[0063] The driving mechanism 6 is arranged at the bottom of the inner wall of the tank body 1 and is used to drive the air distribution disc 51 to rotate intermittently.
[0064] Specifically, referring to Figures 7-8 , the driving mechanism 6 includes a motor 61 mounted on the inner wall bottom of the tank body 1, an incomplete gear 62 fixedly connected with the output end of the motor 61, and a driven gear 63 engaged with the incomplete gear 62. The driven gear 63 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 52. The cylindrical air holes 53 on the air distribution disc 51 are in a corresponding state with the conical air holes 55 on the spiral cover plate 54. When the incomplete gear 62 drives the driven gear 63 to complete one rotation, the air distribution disc 51 rotates by a corresponding angle with the driven gear 63, and the cylindrical air holes 53 move to between two adjacent spiral cover plates 54, so that the gas is directly discharged from the cylindrical air holes 53 without passing through the conical air holes 55, forming large bubbles. When the incomplete gear 62 drives the driven gear 63 to rotate by the same angle again, the air distribution disc 51 rotates by a corresponding angle with the driven gear 63 again, and the cylindrical air holes 53 are in a corresponding state with the conical air holes 55 on the corresponding spiral cover plate 54, thereby realizing the alternate generation of micro-bubbles and large bubbles.
[0065] Further, referring to Figures 9-10 , the driving mechanism 6 further includes turbulence rods 64 equidistantly distributed along the circumferential direction of the air distribution disc 51. The top of the turbulence rod 64 is symmetrically provided with two groups of turbulence vanes 65. The bottom of the turbulence rod 64 is fixedly connected with a pinion 66. The circumferential edge of the upper surface of the air distribution disc 51 is fixedly connected with a gear ring 67. The inner ring gear of the gear ring 67 is engaged with the pinion 66. There is a gap between the gear ring 67 and the L-shaped support 57. Therefore, when the air distribution disc 51 rotates, the gear ring 67 will not come into contact with the L-shaped support 57. When the air distribution disc 51 rotates, the gear ring 67 will rotate together. Through the engagement of the gear ring 67 and the pinion 66, the turbulence rod 64 and the turbulence vane 65 rotate synchronously. The turbulence vane 65 is inclined, which can disturb the mixed liquid in the edge area of the mixing chamber 32 during rotation, thereby avoiding the formation of a dead water area in the edge area, and also dispersing the bubbles gathered in the edge area, so that the gas, liquid and oil in the edge and center areas of the mixing chamber 32 can be efficiently mixed.
[0066] The inner wall of the mixing chamber 32 is fixedly connected with a support frame 68 corresponding to the turbulence rod 64. The turbulence rod 64 is rotatably connected with the support frame 68 through a bearing. The support frame 68 provides support for the turbulence rod 64.
[0067] Among them, referring to Figures 1-2 , the top of the tank body 1 is provided with a first oil outlet pipe 7. The first oil outlet pipe 7 extends into the sewage collection chamber 36. The inlet end of the first oil outlet pipe 7 is close to the top of the sewage collection chamber 36, which is used to discharge the accumulated floating oil in the sewage collection chamber 36.
[0068] The liquid outlet pipe 8 is arranged at a lower position in the sewage collecting cavity 36 and is arrayed along the circumferential direction of the sewage collecting cavity 36. The outlet end of the liquid outlet pipe 8 is located in the annular region formed between the tank body 1 and the cylinder body 31, and is used to guide the residual water phase in the sewage collecting cavity 36 after treatment to the secondary gas floatation.
[0069] The air supplement pipe 9 is arranged on one side of the tank body 1 and has an air outlet end penetrating into the annular region formed between the tank body 1 and the cylinder body 31. The air supplement pipe 9 is provided with a one-way valve and is used to supplement high-pressure gas into the annular region.
[0070] The second oil outlet pipe 10 is arranged above one side of the tank body 1, penetrates through the side wall of the tank body 1 and communicates with the annular region, and is used to discharge the secondary floating oil in the annular region.
[0071] The water outlet pipe 11 is arranged below one side of the tank body 1, penetrates through the side wall of the tank body 1 and communicates with the annular region. The water outlet pipe 11 is provided with a flow control valve and is used to discharge the clean water after final treatment.
[0072] The gas outlet pipe 15 is further arranged on the top of the tank body 1 and is used to discharge the accumulated gas in the tank body 1.
[0073] Further, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 11 , a plurality of groups of guide vanes 12 are arrayed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the pre-rotation cavity 33. Specifically, the guide vanes 12 include an integrally formed arc segment 121 and a vertical segment 122. The vertical segment 122 extends vertically downward to the junction of the pre-rotation cavity 33 and the mixing cavity 32. The curvature of the arc segment 121 is matched with the inner wall of the pre-rotation cavity 33 and can guide the mixed liquid to flow along an arc path in close contact with the cavity wall. The vertical segment 122 can directly guide the mixed liquid discharged from the mixing cavity 32, and its role is to enable the mixed liquid to smoothly transition when entering the pre-rotation cavity 33 from the mixing cavity 32.
[0074] A plurality of groups of rotational flow vanes 13 and a plurality of groups of stable flow vanes 14 are arrayed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the rotational flow cavity 34. The rotational flow vanes 13 are located below the stable flow vanes 14, and the directions of the rotational flow vanes 13 and the stable flow vanes 14 are opposite. The mixed liquid entering the rotational flow cavity 34 from the pre-rotation cavity 33 still has a certain rotational flow kinetic energy. At this time, the lower rotational flow vanes 13 can produce a guiding effect on the mixed liquid. When the mixed liquid flows upward to the region of the stable flow vanes 14, the oppositely arranged stable flow vanes 14 can gradually weaken the rotational flow intensity of the mixed liquid, avoid the oil droplets that have been preliminarily aggregated from being dispersed due to excessively strong rotational flow, and at the same time, prolong the migration path and time of the oil droplets and impurity floc in the mixed liquid, increase the adhesion probability of the oil droplets and impurity floc and gas bubbles, and improve the separation efficiency.
[0075] Specifically, the steady flow blade 14 includes an integral spiral section 141 and a radial section 142, the radial section 142 extends to the inside of the steady flow cavity 35, the spiral guide of the spiral section 141 gradually reduces the rotation speed of the mixed liquid, when the mixed liquid flows to the radial section 142, the mixed liquid entering the steady flow cavity 35 is in a steady laminar flow state, so that the gathered oil droplets can stably float to the oil collection cavity 36 under the action of buoyancy, avoiding the up-and-down rolling of the oil droplets caused by the rotational flow, and further improving the efficiency and stability of oil-water separation.
[0076] The guide blade 12, the rotational flow blade 13 and the steady flow blade 14 are arranged in a staggered manner, so that the mixed liquid smoothly transitions between the chambers, when the mixed liquid enters the pre-rotation cavity 33 from the mixing cavity 32, it first contacts the guide force of the guide blade 12 to form a preliminary rotational flow, then the mixed liquid enters the lower part of the rotational flow cavity 34 and contacts the rotational flow blade 13, when the mixed liquid continues to flow upward through the upper part of the rotational flow cavity 34, it contacts the steady flow blade 14, so that the mixed liquid can smoothly transition from the rotational flow state of the rotational flow blade 13 to the steady flow state of the steady flow blade 14.
[0077] The working principle of the rotational flow air flotation oil removal device is as follows: the oil-containing sewage is transported into the mixing cavity 32 of the rotational flow assembly 3 through the liquid inlet pipe 4, and the motor 61 is started to drive the incomplete gear 62 to rotate, and through the intermittent meshing with the driven gear 63, the air inlet pipe 52 and the air distribution disc 51 are driven to rotate intermittently, during the rotation of the air distribution disc 51, the air inlet pipe 52 at the bottom of the air distribution disc 51 guides the high-pressure gas in the air injection pipe 2 into the air distribution disc 51, when the cylindrical air hole 53 on the air distribution disc 51 corresponds to the conical air hole 55 on the spiral cover plate 54, the gas enters the conical air hole 55 through the cylindrical air hole 53, and under the extrusion and acceleration of the conical flow channel, micro bubbles are formed, the micro bubbles and the micro oil droplets in the mixing cavity 32 fully contact to form stable composite flocs, when the air distribution disc 51 continues to rotate to misalign the cylindrical air hole 53 and the conical air hole 55, the gas is directly discharged from the cylindrical air hole 53 to form large bubbles, the large bubbles quickly carry the medium and large oil droplets to float up, at the same time, when the air distribution disc 51 rotates, the tooth ring 67 at the edge of the air distribution disc 51 drives the pinion 66 to rotate, so that the turbulence rod 64 and the turbulence blade 65 rotate synchronously, the mixed liquid in the edge area of the mixing cavity 32 is disturbed to avoid the formation of dead water area, and the agglomeration of bubbles is dispersed, so that the gas, liquid and oil three phases are uniformly mixed.
