Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of catalytic ozonation equipment, and particularly relates to a tower-type catalytic ozonation reactor. Background Art

[0002] As an advanced oxidation technology, the catalytic ozonation method is becoming more and more widely used. Its main advantages are as follows: no chemical agents need to be added, no sludge and salt are produced, and it has almost no harm to the environment, which is a clean and green process. The invention of the iron-based catalyst integral packing has greatly improved the efficiency of catalytic ozonation and significantly reduced the cost of the catalyst, and has been applied to the deep treatment process of large-scale industrial wastewater.

[0003] With the in-depth research on the engineering of ozone catalytic oxidation, the importance of the flow pattern has been increasingly emphasized. Ozone generates bubbles through the air distribution device. When the bubble size is medium or small, the bubble rising speed is relatively fast, and the time for the bubble to pass through the water layer (gas path time) is less, which affects the dissolution ratio of ozone in the bubble. If the water flows downward, that is, the gas-liquid countercurrent flow, it can extend the residence time of the bubble in the water layer and strengthen mass transfer, which is beneficial to the dissolution of ozone; and it also extends the residence time of the dissolved ozone in the catalyst area, increasing the proportion of the effective decomposition of the dissolved ozone and the generation of ·OH. However, when the bubble is a microbubble, the bubble rising speed is very small. At this time, if the gas-liquid countercurrent flow is adopted, although it will also strengthen the dissolution of ozone and promote the effective decomposition of the dissolved ozone in the upper part of the catalyst area and the generation of ·OH; but at this time, the dissolution of gaseous ozone is no longer the main contradiction, and the microbubble itself already has the condition for rapid ozone dissolution, and ozone is more soluble than oxygen, and its solubility is 13 times that of oxygen. Research shows that the dissolution rate of ozone is very fast. Under the condition of strongly turbulent microbubbles, most of the ozone can be dissolved even in 1 second. At this time, a new contradiction arises: the ozone rapidly dissolved below the catalyst will be carried downward by the water flow and will not pass through the catalyst area, resulting in waste of ozone. When this contradiction is serious to a certain extent, it can be solved by changing the flow pattern, that is, changing to gas-liquid co-current flow. However, usually, by changing the amount of the catalyst placed above and below the air distribution device, it is a more flexible and optimized solution. Summary of the Utility Model

Detailed implementation manners

[0021] The term "utility model" used in this specification, as well as "the present utility model", are intended in a broad sense to refer to all the subject matters of this specification and any subsequent patent claims. Statements containing these terms should not be construed as limiting the subject matter described herein or the meaning or scope of any subsequent patent claims. In addition, this specification does not attempt to describe or limit the subject matter covered by any specific component, paragraph, statement, or claim of this application. The subject matter should be understood with reference to the entire specification, all the drawings, and any subsequent claims. The present utility model may have other embodiments and may be practiced or implemented in other ways. Moreover, it should be understood that the wording and terms used herein are for illustrative purposes and should not be considered limiting.

[0022] Details of the present utility model will now be discussed with reference to the drawings of the present utility model, which are provided by way of example only. In the drawings, like features or components may be labeled with the same reference numerals.

[0023] The use of the terms "comprising", "having", and "including" and their variants herein means including the items listed hereinafter, their equivalents, and additional items. Although directions such as above, below, upward, downward, backward, bottom, top, front, and rear may be referred to in the description of the drawings for convenience, reference is made to the drawings. These directions are not intended to be literally accepted or limit the present utility model in any way. In addition, terms such as "first", "second", "third", etc. are used herein for illustrative purposes and are not intended to indicate or imply importance or significance.

[0024] See Figure 1 As shown, the tower-type catalytic ozonation reactor of the present utility model includes a reactor body, which from bottom to top includes a number of catalytic units 1 connected in sequence, and the number of catalytic units 1 can be increased or decreased. The catalytic unit 1 includes a catalyst monolithic packing 2 and a sieve plate 3, the sieve plate 3 is arranged at the bottom of the catalyst monolithic packing 2, and the structure of the sieve plate 3 is shown in Figure 2 As shown. In some of the catalytic units 1, there is an air distribution device 4, and the structure of the air distribution device 4 is shown in Figure 3 As shown. At the bottom of the reactor body, there are an air inlet and a first water inlet 5, and at the top of the reactor body, there are an air outlet 6 and a second water inlet 7. When the first water inlet 5 is the water inlet, the second water inlet 7 is the water outlet, and when the first water inlet 5 is the water outlet, the second water inlet 7 is the water inlet, that is, the inlet and outlet water ports in this case can be replaced to form a co-current or counter-current of gas and liquid.

[0025] Since in actual operation, the concentration of influent organic matter fluctuates to a certain extent, and the water volume to be treated and the gas supply volume of the ozone generator can both be adjusted within a certain range, the flow pattern of the reactor should have multiple choices to optimize the reaction conditions and ensure the production rate of ·OH.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, still referring to the figure, the air distribution device 4 is a microporous air distribution device 41, and the microporous air distribution device 41 is arranged at the bottom of the catalyst area composed of all the catalyst monolithic packings 2. At this time, the first water inlet 5 is the water inlet. Only when using the microporous air distribution device 41 and the ozone dissolution rate can reach more than 99%, can the co-current of gas and liquid be adopted.

[0027] In another preferred embodiment, the air distribution device 4 is a small-hole air distribution device 42 or a medium-hole air distribution device 43, and the catalyst monolithic packing 2 is arranged at the top and bottom of the small-hole air distribution device 42 or the medium-hole air distribution device 43. At this time, the first water inlet 5 is the water outlet. For the medium- and small-hole air distribution devices, the formed bubbles are larger, and improving the ozone dissolution conditions is an important task of the working conditions. At this time, the counter-current of gas and liquid can be adopted; and catalyst packings are installed above and below the air distribution device to ensure that after the ozone gas forms bubbles through the air distribution device, the ozone dissolved at different time periods has sufficient residence time in the catalyst area to catalyze the decomposition of ozone to form ·OH.

[0028] The catalyst monolithic packing 2 of this tower-type catalytic ozonation reactor is arranged in multiple sections along the elevation to solve the problems of promoting ozone dissolution and ensuring the residence time of dissolved ozone in the catalyst area. The height of the air distribution device in the catalyst area can be optimized through debugging. The reactor body is generally set in six sections, labeled as 1# to 6# packing from bottom to top. The air distribution device 4 can be arranged under the 2# or 3# packing to ensure that 1 / 6 to 1 / 3 (<1 / 2) of the height of the packing is below the air distribution device 4. In this way, the ozone dissolved within the first 1 / 6 gas path time (generally about 1 / 3 of the total ozone amount) can pass through 1 / 3 of the catalyst area when the air distribution device 4 is under the 2# packing; when the air distribution device 4 is under the 3# packing, it can pass through 1 / 2 of the catalyst area to ensure that the initially dissolved ozone is effectively decomposed by the catalyst.

[0029] According to the common specifications of current ozone air distribution devices, three types of air distribution devices 4 with different pore sizes are used in this case, which are divided into: fine titanium disks (rods) with a pore size of 5 μm, called "micro-pore air distribution device 41"; conventional titanium disks (rods) with a pore size of 20 μm, called "small-pore air distribution device 42"; and sand core disks (rods) with a pore size of 500 μm, called "medium-pore air distribution device 43" (the naming of pore sizes is not unified in different industrial fields).

[0030] See Figure 4 As shown, both the first water inlet 5 and the second water inlet 7 are cross-shaped.

[0031] The following further describes the examples of this tower-type catalytic ozonation reactor in conjunction with the attached drawings:

[0032] Example 1: The COD concentration of a certain printing and dyeing wastewater is only 60 mg / L, and it is required to reach 40 mg / L after ozonation treatment. Since the amount of COD to be removed is small and the amount of ozone gas required is small, it is decided to adopt co-current flow of gas and liquid - water inlet and air inlet at the bottom of the tower, and use the micro-pore air distribution device 41 for air distribution. The comparison of operating conditions shows that the COD removal rate of co-current flow can reach 50%, while that of counter-current flow can only reach 42%.

[0033] Example 2: The COD concentration of a certain coal chemical wastewater is relatively high, reaching 180 mg / L, and it is required to reach 100 mg / L after ozonation treatment. Considering that this wastewater is relatively easy to oxidize and a large amount of ozone gas is required, the medium-pore air distribution device 43 is adopted, and the gas-liquid counter-current flow. The comparison of operating conditions shows that the COD removal rate in this condition can reach more than 50%. If the bottommost layer of packing is missing, the COD removal rate can only reach 45%.

[0034] Example 3: The COD concentration of a certain chemical industrial wastewater is 150 mg / L, and it is required to reach below 80 mg / L after ozonation treatment. Considering that the required treatment degree of this wastewater is relatively high and a large amount of ozone gas is needed, a small-hole gas distribution device 42 is adopted, and the gas-liquid flows in reverse. The comparison of operating conditions shows that: the COD removal rate in this condition can stably reach 50%; if the lower two layers of packing below the gas distribution device 4 are missing, the COD removal rate can only reach 40%.

[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present invention accordingly. For those skilled in the art, it should be able to realize that all the equivalent replacements and obvious changes made by using the description and illustration content of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
