Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of oxidation absorption towers, and specifically to an integrated oxidation tower. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the fields of zero discharge of wastewater from coal chemical plants and thermal power plants and resource utilization of desulfurization ash, there are both organic substances and reducing impurities such as sulfite ions and ammonium ions in the wastewater. Generally, the removal of organic substances and reducing impurities is divided into two oxidation process units. Since the two processes have different requirements for the oxidation intensity of the oxidant and the type of catalyst, this separation treatment method has the disadvantages of high investment cost, large floor area, and high operation and maintenance cost.

[0003] Patent document CN117756261A provides a high-efficiency and high-mixing oxidation tower. By arranging a multi-stage distribution device inside the cylinder, distribution pipes are welded on the distribution plate, and multiple through holes inclined downward at 45° are drilled on the distribution pipes, which plays an effective role in distributing materials and increasing the reaction efficiency; at the same time, an auxiliary liquid inlet is adopted, and angle steels are welded inside to make the auxiliary liquid perform diffusion-type distribution, increasing the contact area between materials, thereby improving the working efficiency of the oxidation tower.

[0004] Patent document CN117398837B provides a composite absorption oxidation tower. Exhaust gas enters the tower body from the exhaust gas inlet, starts the motor to drive the driving ram to rotate, drives the reciprocating screw rod to rotate through the arranged bevel gear set, and then drives the driving plate to slide up and down on the inner wall of the tower body. As the driving plate continuously slides downward, it will abut against and squeeze the inclined plate, forcing the inclined plate to drive the sealing plate to slide to the right inside the tower body, stretching the first elastic member. At this time, the sealing plate moves away from the through hole and the exhaust gas outlet. The exhaust gas at the bottom of the tower body enters the absorption and filtration space formed between the upper side of the partition plate and the inner wall of the tower body through the through hole. As the reciprocating screw rod continues to rotate, the driving plate will immediately rise and separate from the inclined plate. At this time, the inclined plate and the sealing plate will reset under the action of the first elastic member after a short rightward movement, closing the through hole and the exhaust gas outlet. Since the upper side of the reciprocating screw rod is longer, the driving plate will not push the inclined plate down again in a short time. At this time, the exhaust gas will stay in the absorption and filtration space formed between the upper end of the partition plate and the inner wall of the tower body for a long time. At the same time, the circulation pump will also be started, and the limestone slurry at the bottom of the tower body will be pumped out through the circulation pipe and the atomizing nozzle, and sprayed in the absorption and filtration space formed between the inner wall of the tower body and the upper end of the partition plate to effectively oxidize, absorb and filter the sulfur in the exhaust gas in the space. When the driving plate descends again to squeeze the inclined plate and the sealing plate, the filtered exhaust gas will be discharged from the exhaust gas outlet, realizing the batch filtration, absorption and oxidation of the exhaust gas, thus avoiding the situation where a large amount of exhaust gas passes through the filtration uniformly, and some exhaust gas is not thoroughly filtered, absorbed and oxidized and is directly discharged. The absorption, oxidation and filtration effect of the exhaust gas is better.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, an integrated oxidation tower, as Figure 1 shown, includes a tower body 1. An inlet water pipe 101 is provided at the upper part of the tower body 1, an outlet water pipe 102 and an inlet air pipe 103 are provided at the lower part of the tower body 1, and a tail gas pipe 104 is provided at the top of the tower body 1. Inside the tower body 1, a first aeration device 2 (1# aeration device), a first catalyst 3 (1# catalyst), a second aeration device 4 (2# aeration device), and a second catalyst 5 (2# catalyst) are arranged from bottom to top. The inlet air pipe 103 is connected to the first aeration device 2; the first aeration device 2 and the second aeration device 4 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the tower body 1, and support layers 9 are provided at the bottoms of the first catalyst 3 and the second catalyst 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first catalyst 3 is one of an aluminum-based and a carbon-based catalyst; the second catalyst 5 is a titanium dioxide catalyst.

[0033] Preferably, it further includes a tail gas reflux pipe 6 located outside the tower body 1. One end of the tail gas reflux pipe 6 is connected to the air inlet of the second aeration device 4, and the other end is connected to the tail gas pipe 104.

[0034] Preferably, the support layer 9 is a metal mesh structure, having the characteristics of oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and high strength.

[0035] Preferably, the filling height of the first catalyst 3 accounts for 30-40% of the height of the tower body 1; the filling height of the second catalyst 5 accounts for 10-20% of the height of the tower body 1.

[0036] More preferably, the ratio of the height to the diameter (height-diameter ratio) of the tower body 1 ranges from 2:1 to 5:1.

[0037] Preferably, the first aeration device 2 and the second aeration device 4 are one of a disk aerator, a tube aerator, and a micro-nano aerator.

[0038] Preferably, the water inlet pipe 101 and the water outlet pipe 102 are located on different sides of the tower body 1 and can be located on opposite sides; the water inlet pipe 101 and the air inlet pipe 103 are located on the same side of the tower body 1.

[0039] Preferably, a third load-bearing block is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the tower body 1, and the third load-bearing block is used to lap and support the supporting layer 9.

[0040] More preferably, a first load-bearing block 7 and a second load-bearing block 8 are further arranged on the inner wall of the tower body 1.

[0041] Preferably, legs for support are arranged at the bottom of the tower body 1, and a valve for controlling the exhaust of tail gas is further arranged on the tail gas pipe 104.

[0042] The working process of this application:

[0043] The mixed gas of ozone and oxygen is introduced into the tower body 1 from bottom to top. The concentration of the mixed gas in the lower part of the tower body 1 is high, and the concentration of the mixed gas in the upper part of the tower body 1 is low. Specifically: The mixed gas is introduced through the air inlet pipe 103 at the bottom of the tower body 1, first exposed by the first aeration device 2, enters the first catalyst 3, then is exposed by the second aeration device 4, enters the second catalyst 5, and part of the remaining tail gas is discharged through the tail gas pipe 104, and part of the tail gas passes through the tail gas return pipe 6 to be exposed by the second aeration device 4;

[0045] In summary, this application has at least the following advantages:

[0046] Since reducing impurities are easily oxidized, the requirement for ozone concentration is not high and the oxidation time is short. However, the removal of organic matter in industrial wastewater requires a relatively high ozone concentration. Therefore, this application makes full use of the characteristics that the requirements for the concentrations of ozone and oxygen and the reaction time are different for organic matter and reducing impurities in wastewater (where the requirements for the concentrations of ozone and oxygen by reducing impurities are not high and the reaction time is also relatively short). Specifically, ozone and oxygen are introduced from the bottom up in the tower body, and the wastewater flows from the top down in the tower body, so that the low-concentration ozone and oxygen mixed gas at the top of the tower body undergoes a catalytic oxidation reaction under the action of the second catalyst, first oxidizing the reducing impurities; secondly, when the wastewater continues to flow down, the high-concentration ozone and oxygen mixed gas at the bottom of the tower body will undergo a catalytic oxidation reaction under the action of the second catalyst to oxidize the organic matter, and finally it is discharged from the water outlet at the bottom of the tower body; the overall structure of this application is simple and convenient to use, without complex mechanical structures, and the processing accuracy requirements are not high, and it can ensure the stability of its operation;

[0047] At the same time, in the traditional scheme, two devices are required to remove organic matter and reducing impurities respectively, which has problems of large floor area and high investment cost. This application can integrate the two independent devices in the prior art into one body, which can simultaneously complete the removal of organic matter and reducing impurities, reduce the floor area, and lower the investment cost;

[0048] In addition, a tail gas reflux pipe is also provided. One end of the tail gas reflux pipe is connected to the air inlet of the second aeration device, and the other end is connected to the tail gas pipe, so as to make full use of the tail gas, save energy and reduce emissions, and lower the operating cost.
