Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology for industrial circulating water systems, specifically to an adaptive nanobubble water treatment device and method based on conductivity feedback. Background Technology
[0002] Circulating water systems are core supporting units in industrial production. The inner walls of system pipes and equipment are highly susceptible to the precipitation and deposition of scale, typically calcium carbonate. This scale buildup significantly reduces circulating water flow efficiency, increases system energy consumption, and in severe cases, can cause pipe blockage, accelerated wear and tear on circulating water system equipment, and a substantial increase in operation and maintenance costs. Existing water treatment technologies for scale prevention or removal, such as chemical scale inhibitors which can cause secondary water pollution, mechanical cleaning which requires system shutdown and disrupts production, and physical field scale inhibition methods with fixed parameters that cannot adapt to dynamic operating conditions, all have significant limitations.
[0003] Studies have shown that nanobubbles possess properties distinctly different from macrobubbles, such as large specific surface area, high interfacial potential, strong adsorption capacity, and long residence time. In water bodies, they can promote the formation of crystallizing fouling in circulating water by providing numerous bulk nucleation sites, adsorbing scale-causing ions, and regulating crystal morphology, rather than depositing on the inner walls of circulating water system pipes and equipment. In other words, by altering the formation sites of crystallizing fouling, they reduce fouling deposition in circulating water systems at its source. Furthermore, nanobubbles use readily available air sources as a medium, resulting in no secondary pollution and low operating costs. Therefore, nanobubbles, as a novel, green, and pollution-free water treatment technology, possess significant advantages and have already been applied in industrial scenarios such as circulating water systems, seawater desalination, and membrane filtration.
[0004] Existing nanobubble water treatment technologies all operate with fixed parameters. Once the core parameters of the nanobubble water treatment device, such as gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, and operating pressure, are set, they are not adjusted. However, the operating conditions of industrial circulating water systems, such as scale-causing ion concentration, temperature, pH value, and flow rate, are constantly changing, and fixed parameters cannot keep pace with these changes. This leads to a decrease in the bulk crystallization efficiency of the circulating water, increased scale deposition on the inner walls of pipes and equipment, and a significant reduction in scale inhibition effectiveness. Furthermore, existing technologies lack characteristic signals that can reflect the bulk crystallization effect in real time and conveniently, making it impossible to establish a dynamic correlation between the operating parameters of the nanobubble water treatment device and the scale inhibition effect, thus failing to guarantee continuous optimization of the scale inhibition effect. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this invention provides an adaptive nanobubble water treatment device and method based on conductivity feedback. Conductivity is selected as the core feedback signal that reflects the scale inhibition effect of nanobubbles in real time. The operating parameters of the nanobubble water treatment device are dynamically adjusted through an adaptive adjustment strategy to ensure that, under any operating condition, the nanobubbles generated by the device always efficiently promote the bulk crystallization of circulating water and prevent the deposition of scale on the inner walls of the circulating water system pipelines and equipment, thus maintaining the optimal scale inhibition effect.

[0024] This invention also provides an adaptive nanobubble water treatment method based on conductivity feedback, which is implemented based on the aforementioned adaptive nanobubble water treatment device based on conductivity feedback, and includes the following steps:
[0025] Step S1: In the control module, set the effective control range, adjustment step size, adjustment sequence, and algorithm variable parameters for the nanobubble generator module's operating parameters. With the circulating water system in a clean state, based on the initial conductivity of the circulating water measured by the acquisition module, set the minimum critical bulk phase crystallization efficiency (this needs to be reset after each cleaning of the circulating water system), and calculate the target conductivity threshold. The nanobubble generator module starts operating with the initial parameters.
[0026] Step S2: At the end of each data acquisition cycle, the control module acquires the real-time conductivity and water temperature of the circulating water system and records the time that the nanobubbles have been in action.

If it does, it continues to maintain the current parameters and returns to step S2; if it does not, it proceeds to step S4 to determine the trend.
[0028] Step S4: In the next acquisition cycle, the control module determines whether the conductivity deviation value of the current cycle has decreased compared to the previous cycle. If the deviation value has decreased, it indicates that the parameter adjustment direction is correct, and the current parameter operation is maintained, returning to step S2; if the deviation value has not decreased, it indicates that the current parameter can no longer meet the scale inhibition requirements or the adjustment effect is not good, and proceeds to step S5.
[0029] Step S5: When the control module determines that the operating parameters of the nanobubble generator module need to be adjusted, it initiates the adaptive parameter adjustment process, sends adjustment commands to the adjustment execution module according to the preset parameter adjustment sequence and adjustment step size, and explores online the operating parameters that meet the scale inhibition requirements under the current working conditions. By cyclically executing steps S2 to S5, real-time, closed-loop, and adaptive control of the operating parameters of the nanobubble water treatment device is achieved.

The average conductivity and water temperature of each sampling point after calibration are used as the algorithm input values to eliminate the influence of local disturbances; nanobubble action time.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the adaptive nanobubble water treatment device based on conductivity feedback includes a data acquisition module, a control module, an adjustment and execution module, and a nanobubble generating module. The data acquisition module collects the conductivity and temperature of the circulating water in real time; the control module receives the real-time data, calculates the expected conductivity value at the current moment using a conductivity prediction model, determines whether the deviation between the measured value and the expected value meets the convergence accuracy requirements, and initiates an adaptive adjustment process when parameter adjustment is needed, sending an adjustment command to the adjustment and execution module; the adjustment and execution module converts the adjustment command into an adjustment action; and the nanobubble generating module introduces nanobubbles into the circulating water.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the data acquisition module includes an industrial-grade online conductivity sensor, a temperature sensor, and a data acquisition card. Multiple acquisition points are set up in the circulating water system. The online conductivity sensor has a built-in temperature compensation function and outputs calibrated real-time conductivity. Meanwhile, the temperature sensor collects the water temperature. The data acquisition card serves as the input parameter for the conductivity prediction model, used to calculate the expected conductivity value at the current moment. It filters, amplifies, and performs analog-to-digital conversion on the signals from various sensors, and transmits the real-time data to the control module via an industrial bus.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the regulating execution module and the nanobubble generating module are connected in a combined manner. The regulating execution module includes a gas flow controller, an electric inlet water regulating valve, and a variable frequency booster pump controller, which are respectively connected to the air inlet pipe, water inlet pipe, and variable frequency booster pump of the nanobubble generating module. The air inlet pipe of the nanobubble generating module is connected to a gas source, and the water inlet pipe is connected to circulating water. The gas and liquid are mixed in a high-pressure dissolving device to form a supersaturated gas-liquid mixture. After being rapidly depressurized by a pressure reducing and releasing device, nanobubbles are formed and introduced into the circulating water system through the water outlet pipe. After receiving instructions from the control module, the regulating execution module precisely adjusts the gas inflow rate, liquid flow rate, and operating pressure, with a control accuracy of ≤±0.5%.
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific implementation steps of the adaptive nanobubble water treatment device are introduced, combining the adaptive nanobubble water treatment method based on conductivity feedback:
[0044] Step S1: First, set the operating parameters (gas flow rate) of the nanobubble generator module in the control module. Liquid flow rate Operating pressure ) range and corresponding parameter adjustment step size (gas flow rate adjustment step size) Liquid flow rate adjustment step Operating pressure adjustment step size Set the order of adjusting the running parameters. Set the algorithm parameters, including: convergence accuracy. Data collection cycle and adjusting settling time .
[0045] With the nanobubble generator module in standby mode, the initial conductivity of the circulating water is collected and recorded by the acquisition module. (The circulating water system needs to be recalibrated for the first run after cleaning or water change). Based on scale inhibition requirements and preliminary experimental data, the minimum critical bulk crystallization efficiency is set. According to Kohlrausch's law, the conductivity of a solution... With ion concentration Proportional:
[0046] (1)
[0047] In equation (1), The molar conductivity is expressed in S·cm. 2 ·mol -1 ;
[0048] Let the initial concentration of scale-causing ions in the circulating water be... After being acted upon by nanobubbles, the concentration was reduced to [a certain level]. Then the bulk crystallization efficiency The definition of is:
[0049] (2)
[0050] In equation (2), The ion concentration at which the crystallization reaction reaches equilibrium, in mol / L;
[0051] Will Substituting into the conductivity formula, we get:
[0052] (3)
[0053] In equation (3), The final stable value of conductivity (corresponding to) );
[0054] Taking calcium carbonate crystals as an example (the most common component of limescale), due to their extremely low equilibrium solubility in circulating water, therefore... much smaller (In this embodiment) / <0.01), the final target threshold for conductivity is calculated as shown in equation (4):
[0055] (4)
[0056] Start the nanobubble generator module and set initial operating parameters. Set the value to the middle value of each parameter adjustment range.
[0057] Step S2: At the end of each acquisition cycle, the control module acquires the real-time conductivity. Water temperature And record the time the nanobubbles have been in action. The control module uses a conductivity prediction model based on crystallization kinetics to calculate the expected conductivity value to be achieved at the current moment. According to JMAK crystallization kinetics theory, the solid phase precipitation volume fraction... With time The relationship is shown in equation (5).

[0059] In equation (5), The reaction rate constant reflects the speed of the crystallization process;

[0067] During the crystallization process of calcium carbonate, the relative decrease rate of electrical conductivity The conductivity is directly proportional to the volume fraction of the deposited material, and thus the power-law model expression for the expected conductivity value is derived as shown in equation (7).
[0068] (7)
[0069] In equation (7), h is the time scale factor that reflects the speed of the crystallization process;
[0070] To reflect the decay characteristics of the crystallization rate over time;
[0071] According to crystallization kinetics theory, when crystal growth is diffusion-controlled, The value is typically between 1.0 and 1.5; when controlled by interfacial reaction, The value is relatively small.
[0072] Equation (6) can be used to derive the expression for the rate of decrease in conductivity as shown in Equation (8), which is used to characterize the dynamic characteristics of the crystallization process.
[0073] (8)
[0074] Equation (8) shows that the rate of decrease in conductivity decreases monotonically with time, which is consistent with the physical law that the supersaturation gradually decreases during the crystallization of calcium carbonate.
[0075] Experiments were conducted under different initial conductivity levels (500–3500 μS / cm, increasing by 500 μS / cm each time) and different water temperatures (20–50 °C, increasing by 10 °C each time), and the conductivity changes over time were recorded. The experimental data were then calculated and fitted using the nonlinear least squares method to obtain the specific values of the aforementioned parameters under the current operating conditions.
[0076] The calculated conductivity deviation is shown in equation (9):
[0077] (9)
[0078] Step S3: The control module determines the real-time conductivity. Compared with current expected value Does the absolute value of the deviation satisfy the following? If the conditions are met, it indicates that the conductivity decrease curve is in line with expectations and the scale inhibition effect is good. Maintain the current parameters and return to step S2. If the conditions are not met, it means that the current operating parameters may need to be adjusted. Proceed to step S4 to determine the trend.
[0079] The theoretical basis for the conclusion in step S3 that "the absolute value of conductivity deviation characterizes the scale inhibition effect of the nanobubble water treatment device" is as follows:
[0080] Electrical conductivity is a core physical quantity characterizing the ion concentration in a solution, and it exhibits a strict linear positive correlation with the concentration of scale-causing ions in circulating water. The process of nanobubbles promoting bulk crystallization is essentially a process in which scale-causing ions precipitate from circulating water to form solid crystals, leading to a continuous decrease in ion concentration, which is directly manifested as a characteristic decrease in the conductivity of circulating water. Based on this premise, the concentration of scale-causing ions in circulating water is negatively correlated with the amount of fouling: the higher the bulk crystallization efficiency, the more scale-causing ions precipitate in the circulating water, the less fouling can be deposited on the inner walls of the circulating water system pipes and equipment, and the better the scale inhibition effect. Therefore, the trend and measured value of conductivity can directly and in real time reflect the bulk crystallization efficiency of nanobubbles, i.e., the scale inhibition effect: a continuous and stable decrease in conductivity and convergence to the target threshold indicates high bulk crystallization efficiency and excellent scale inhibition effect; a deviation of conductivity from the expected decrease indicates a decrease in bulk crystallization efficiency and an increased risk of fouling deposition.
[0081] Based on the above theoretical basis, this invention uses conductivity as the target threshold. For the global optimization objective, the expected conductivity value to be achieved at the current moment is... To provide a real-time benchmark, the real-time conductivity is calculated. Compared with expected value By measuring the deviation value, the scale inhibition effect of the current operating parameters of the nanobubble water treatment device can be evaluated in real time, and it can be determined whether the parameters need to be adjusted.
[0082] Step S4: In the next acquisition cycle, the control module compares the absolute value of the current deviation with the absolute value of the deviation in the previous cycle.
[0083] like This indicates that the absolute value of the deviation is decreasing, the parameter adjustment direction is correct, maintain the current parameter operation, and return to step S2;
[0084] like This indicates that the current parameters can no longer meet the scale inhibition requirements or the adjustment effect is not good, so proceed to step S5.
[0085] Step S5: When parameter adjustment is required, the control module initiates the adaptive parameter adjustment process. The specific adjustment process is as follows: First, record the current operating parameters. =[ , , ] T and the absolute value of the current conductivity deviation and with This serves as the benchmark for performance evaluation. Then, following the sequence set in step S1, each parameter is adjusted sequentially. An adjustment command is sent to the adjustment execution module for each selected parameter, initially attempting to adjust it in an increasing direction by a fixed step size. After the adjustment execution module executes the command and reaches the preset adjustment stabilization time, the new conductivity is collected, and the absolute value of the new conductivity deviation is calculated. .Compare and ,like This indicates that adjusting the operating parameters in this direction effectively reduced the conductivity deviation, further confirming... If the convergence accuracy requirement is met, it means the adjusted operating parameters can meet the scale inhibition requirements, and the process returns to step S2; if the convergence accuracy requirement is not met, continue adjusting the phase length in the same direction until... If the convergence accuracy requirement is met; If the selected parameter fails to improve, adjust it in the opposite direction and re-evaluate. When the selected operating parameter achieves optimal performance (continuing to adjust in the same direction no longer reduces the conductivity deviation), lock that parameter, select the next parameter in a preset order, and repeat this process until the conductivity deviation meets the convergence accuracy requirements, thus obtaining the optimal parameter combination for the current operating condition. =[ , , ] T By cyclically executing steps S2 to S5, real-time, closed-loop, and adaptive control of the operating parameters of the nanobubble water treatment device is achieved.
[0086] The theoretical basis for the conclusion in step S5 that "adjusting the operating parameters of the nanobubble generator module can effectively reduce the conductivity deviation value" is as follows:
[0087] Operating parameters of the nanobubble generator module (gas flow rate) Liquid flow rate Operating pressure This directly affects the median particle size of the generated nanobubbles. and quantity concentration Studies have shown that the above parameters have an impact on... and The regulation exhibits a nonlinear coupling relationship: , Specific surface area of nanobubbles With median particle size Inversely proportional: In the formula This is the equivalent density of the bubbles. Therefore, and These factors collectively determine the ability of nanobubbles to promote bulk crystallization. According to the charge stability model, the static voltage generated by the accumulation of surface charge on the nanobubbles can balance the Laplace pressure, thereby inhibiting the diffusion and dissolution of gas inside the bubbles. The surface charge density is closely related to the adsorption behavior of scale-causing ions in the solution, and this adsorption behavior is regulated by operating parameters.
[0088] Based on the above theoretical basis, when the real-time conductivity Significantly higher than expected (Right now When the current rate of decrease in conductivity is insufficient, it indicates that the operating parameters need to be adjusted to change the situation. , .when Significantly lower than expected (Right now If the rate of descent is too rapid, it indicates that the parameters need to be adjusted to avoid excessive energy consumption or deviation from the optimal operating condition. The effectiveness of parameter adjustment is measured by the absolute value of the deviation. The direction of change is used to evaluate: if after adjustment A decrease indicates that the adjustment direction is correct; if... An increase indicates an incorrect direction; it should be adjusted in the opposite direction.

Operating parameters were set in the control module of the adaptive nanobubble water treatment device as follows: gas flow rate 50~650 mL / min, liquid flow rate 1000~5000 mL / min, and operating pressure 0.4~0.8 MPa. The adjustment steps for each parameter were set to 100 mL / min, 500 mL / min, and 0.1 MPa, respectively. The adjustment sequence was: gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, operating pressure. Algorithm variable settings included: convergence accuracy of 25 μS / cm, data acquisition cycle of 10 min, and stabilization time of 5 min. Initial operating parameters were set to the median values of each parameter's adjustment range. Based on scale inhibition requirements, the minimum critical bulk phase crystallization efficiency was set to 33%. The calculated final target threshold for conductivity was 1916 μS / cm. After 18 hours of operation, the real-time conductivity of the nanobubble water treatment device decreased to 1925±2 μS / cm, meeting the convergence accuracy requirements. During operation, the gas flow rate was optimized from the initial 350 mL / min to 150 mL / min, the liquid flow rate from 3000 mL / min to 4000 mL / min, and the operating pressure was optimized to 0.5 MPa.

An adaptive nanobubble water treatment method based on conductivity feedback, characterized in that, The adaptive nanobubble water treatment device based on conductivity feedback as described in claim 1 is implemented by comprising the following steps: Step S1: Set the effective control range, adjustment step size, adjustment sequence, and algorithm variable parameters of the nanobubble generator module's operating parameters; set the minimum critical bulk phase crystallization efficiency according to the scale inhibition requirements; calculate the target conductivity threshold based on the initial conductivity of the circulating water measured by the acquisition module; start the nanobubble generator module with the initial operating parameters. Step S2: At the end of each acquisition cycle, obtain the real-time conductivity and water temperature, and record the time that the nanobubbles have been in action; based on the initial conductivity, water temperature, action time, and conductivity target threshold, use the conductivity prediction model to calculate the expected conductivity value that should be achieved at the current moment, and calculate the deviation between the real-time conductivity and the current expected value. Step S3: The control module determines whether the deviation between the real-time conductivity and the current expected value meets the convergence accuracy requirements; if it does, it continues to maintain the current parameters and returns to step S2; if it does not, it proceeds to step S4 to determine the trend. Step S4: The control module determines whether the conductivity deviation value of the current cycle has decreased compared to the previous cycle. If the deviation value has decreased, it indicates that the parameter adjustment direction is correct. The current parameter operation is maintained, and the process returns to step S2. If the deviation value has not decreased, it indicates that the current parameter can no longer meet the scale inhibition requirements or the adjustment effect is not good. The process proceeds to step S5. Step S5: Start the adaptive parameter adjustment process, send adjustment instructions to the adjustment execution module according to the preset parameter adjustment sequence and adjustment step size, and explore the operating parameters that meet the scale inhibition requirements under the current working conditions online; by cyclically executing steps S2 to S5, realize the real-time, closed-loop, adaptive control of the operating parameters of the nano bubble water treatment device.
