Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to a tubular catalytic wet oxidation device for treating wastewater from fuel cell catalyst production. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the treatment methods for high-concentration organic wastewater from fuel cell catalyst production (COD value ≥ 10,000 mg / L) at home and abroad generally rely on the "evaporation concentration + biochemical treatment" system. During the production process of fuel cell catalysts, alcohols, ketones, and nitrogen-containing organic compounds are usually used as reducing agents or synthetic liquid phase systems, such as DMF, oleylamine, etc. These substances are toxic, harmful, have a strong smell, and high viscosity. Some high-concentration heavy metal and rare precious metal ions among them will have a toxic effect on microorganisms, thus restricting means such as biochemical treatment, conventional aeration, and ozone catalytic oxidation. Moreover, a large amount of highly saline wastewater will inevitably be generated during the evaporation process, increasing the difficulty of subsequent treatment. In addition, there is also the method of electrochemical oxidation, but this process has serious problems of electrode corrosion and high energy consumption.

[0003] Since the above treatment methods are not ideal enough, in the actual production process, the treatment method of catalytic wet oxidation has gradually emerged. Catalytic wet oxidation has good treatment effects on organic wastewater with poor biodegradability and high concentration. The effluent can directly enter the biochemical treatment section for subsequent treatment, and it has been applied in scenarios such as the treatment of high-concentration landfill leachate, high-concentration printing and dyeing wastewater, and petrochemical waste alkali liquor. Its principle is that in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, oxygen acts on the active components on the surface of the catalyst to generate extremely oxidizing free radical substances, which quickly oxidize organic substances into carbon dioxide or small-molecule carboxylic acids, thereby achieving the reduction of total organic carbon and the improvement of biodegradability.

[0004] However, most of the currently used tower-type catalytic wet oxidation devices are high-pressure special equipment with an integral structure. This equipment has a large volume itself. Coupled with the requirement for corrosion resistance, it is necessary to further increase the wall thickness and use titanium lining, resulting in a further increase in the volume of the reactor. When in use, large reactors not only consume a large amount of energy and are difficult to control, and strict reaction conditions need to be controlled; and since most of the catalysts are spherical catalysts, after being loaded into the reactor, as the use time increases, the surface of the spherical catalysts is prone to wear and carbon deposition, resulting in internal agglomeration or blockage of the reactor, causing the internal pressure of the reactor to rise, posing a great safety hazard. When it is necessary to load and unload the catalyst and perform equipment maintenance, the entire production needs to be stopped, which is not conducive to the continuous treatment of wastewater and affects normal production. Summary of the Utility Model

The organic wastewater storage tank and the air compressor are both connected to the gas-liquid mixing pipe for gas-liquid mixing. The outlet end of the gas-liquid mixing pipe is connected to the shell-and-tube reactor through the bent pipe. The bent pipe is arranged in the preheating box, and the outlet end of the shell-and-tube reactor is connected to the preheating box through the waste heat recovery pipe to preheat the bent pipe. The preheating box is connected to the liquid discharge storage tank through a liquid discharge pipe.

[0025] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , a tubular catalytic wet oxidation device for treating wastewater from fuel cell catalyst production, including an organic wastewater storage tank 1, an air compressor 4, a gas-liquid mixing pipe 8, a preheating box 11, a bent pipe 10, a tubular reactor 14, a waste heat recovery pipe 18, and a liquid discharge storage tank 21. The organic wastewater storage tank 1 and the air compressor 4 are both connected to the inlet end of a three-way pipe 7, and the outlet end of the three-way pipe 7 is connected to the inlet end of the gas-liquid mixing pipe 8. A spiral sheet 81 is fixedly arranged in the gas-liquid mixing pipe 8. When the organic wastewater is mixed with air and passes through the gas-liquid mixing pipe 8, it will be fully mixed under the action of the spiral sheet 81 to form a gas-liquid mixed flow; the outlet end of the gas-liquid mixing pipe 8 is connected to the liquid inlet main pipe 12 through the bent pipe 10, and the bent pipe 10 is fixedly arranged in the preheating box 11; a plurality of liquid inlet branch pipes 13 are connected to the liquid inlet main pipe 12, and the liquid inlet branch pipes 13 are connected to the inlet end of the tubular reactor 14. A cylindrical honeycomb ceramic catalyst is installed in the tubular reactor 14, and the diameter of the catalyst is slightly smaller than the pipe diameter to ensure that the incoming wastewater and air components are in full contact with the inside of the catalyst, and at the same time, it is convenient for loading and unloading. The catalysts should be tightly packed next to each other. The outlet end of the tubular reactor 14 is connected to a liquid outlet branch pipe 15, and each liquid outlet branch pipe 15 is communicated with a liquid outlet main pipe 16. The liquid outlet main pipe 16 is connected to a gas-liquid separator 17. The steam-water mixed flow is re-separated into gas and water through the gas-liquid separator 17. The gas is discharged from the exhaust pipe 19, and the liquid is connected back to the preheating box 11 through the waste heat recovery pipe 18 to preheat the bent pipe 10. The wastewater that has undergone heat exchange is discharged to the liquid discharge storage tank 21 through the drain pipe 20 at the bottom of the preheating box 11 for temporary storage, waiting for subsequent treatment.

[0026] In one embodiment, refer toFigure 3 The tubular reactor 14 is composed of multiple reaction tubes 141. Electric heating wires 142 are wound around the outer side of each reaction tube 141. The reaction temperature can be controlled through the electric heating wires 142. A housing 143 is sleeved outside the reaction tube 141. The housing 143 is made of heat-insulating material, which can reduce heat dissipation and protect the electric heating wires 142 at the same time. Further, for the convenience of disassembling and assembling a single reaction tube 141, both ends of the reaction tube 141 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet branch pipe 13 and the liquid outlet branch pipe 15 through quick-release flanges. And an inlet valve 144 is installed at the liquid inlet branch pipe 13, and an outlet valve 145 is installed at the liquid outlet branch pipe 15.

[0027] When it is necessary to disassemble the reaction tube 141, close the inlet valve 144 and the outlet valve 145 of the corresponding reaction tube 141, and then it can be disassembled, which is convenient and fast, and does not affect the normal use of other reaction tubes 141. Further, a detection device corresponding to each reaction tube 141 can be installed to separately monitor its temperature, pressure and water outlet condition, which is convenient for timely detecting abnormalities and ensuring the safety of the production process.

[0028] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 In the preheating box 11, a bent pipe 10 is fixedly arranged. Its top is communicated with the waste heat recovery pipe 18, and its bottom is connected to the liquid discharge storage tank 21 through a liquid discharge pipe 20. During use, the gas-liquid mixed flow to be treated passes through the bent pipe 10. The treated high-temperature waste water flows into the preheating box 11 from the waste heat recovery pipe 18 and exchanges heat with the gas-liquid mixed flow in the bent pipe 10, so as to be preheated.

[0029] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 At the outlet of the organic waste water storage tank 1, a first valve 2 and a pressure pump 3 are installed, so as to facilitate the control of the discharge of organic waste water; the air compressor 4 is connected to the compressed air tank 5, and a second valve 6 is installed at the outlet of the compressed air tank, so as to facilitate the control of the discharge of high-pressure air.

[0030] Specific working process:

[0031] The organic waste water and high-pressure air are fully mixed in the gas-liquid mixing pipe 8 to form a gas-liquid mixed flow. The gas-liquid mixed flow flows through the bent pipe 10, the liquid inlet main pipe 12, and the liquid inlet branch pipe 13 in sequence, and then enters the tubular reactor 14 for reaction treatment. The reaction temperature can be controlled through the electric heating wires 142. After the high-temperature mixed flow after the reaction passes through the gas-liquid separator 17 for separation, the high-temperature waste water flows into the preheating box 11 to preheat the gas-liquid mixed flow in the bent pipe 10. The waste water after heat exchange is finally discharged to the liquid discharge storage tank 21 for temporary storage, waiting for subsequent treatment.
