Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an oxidation reactor, in particular to a catalytic wet oxidation reactor. Background Art

[0002] Catalytic wet oxidation (CWAO) technology is a popular technology for wastewater thermal treatment. Its reaction mechanism mainly relies on the strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals generated by the catalytic reaction of oxidants under high temperature and high pressure. These free radicals can directly oxidize organic pollutants and harmful substances such as nitrogen and sulfur in wastewater into harmless substances, such as CO2, H2O, N2 and SO4. 2- The CWAO technology has attracted wide attention due to its advantages of high removal rate, low operating cost, strong adaptability, no secondary pollution, simplified process and space saving.

[0003] In the existing CWAO reactor, the catalyst exists in the form of a solution, with many active sites for the reaction and good catalytic effect. However, there is a loss of catalyst during the reaction process, which is not conducive to the reaction and requires the addition of catalyst to maintain normal reaction. In addition, the mixed solution of catalyst and wastewater usually enters the heat exchanger together for heating before being sent to the reactor. However, due to lack of oxygen in the heat exchanger, the wastewater will coke under the action of the catalyst, causing the heat exchanger to be blocked. At the same time, the coking will adsorb the catalyst ions, causing the loss of the catalyst. The above problems can be solved by directly adding the catalyst to the reactor. However, if the cold catalyst solution is directly added to the reactor, the local temperature in the reactor will be low, resulting in uneven reaction. In addition, due to the rapid change of the catalyst ion temperature, the catalyst ions will settle, greatly reducing the reaction efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to find a catalytic wet oxidation reactor that can reduce the amount of catalyst added, reduce catalyst loss, preheat the catalyst solution, has a simple structure, low cost, and is suitable for industrial production. Utility Model Content
