Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of soil and groundwater restoration, and in particular relates to a fuel gas thermal desorption device. Background Art
[0002] In-situ thermal desorption technology is a highly effective soil remediation method, particularly suitable for treating organic pollutants such as chlorinated organic compounds (CVOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and pesticides. In-situ gas heating technology uses natural gas as a heating energy source, with the high-temperature flue gas generated by natural gas combustion as the heat source. This technology utilizes the thermal conductivity of soil and groundwater to achieve heating and in-situ remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater.
[0003] As a soil and groundwater treatment technology, in-situ thermal desorption technology has the advantages of being green, efficient, thorough, and free of secondary pollution. However, it currently has the following drawbacks:
[0004] (1) High-temperature flue gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere from the electrode well, resulting in energy waste;
[0005] (2) The surface soil is in direct contact with the air, and the evaporation of water on the soil surface will take away a large amount of heat. At the same time, if the temperature measuring point in the surface soil is too close to the soil surface and is almost flush with the upper part of the heating end of the heating rod, heat will easily dissipate to the surface, making it difficult to increase the temperature of the surface soil. At the same time, the water content in the soil has a significant effect on heat conduction. When there is a large amount of water in the soil, the water will move downward, bringing heat from the high-temperature area in the middle to the bottom, thereby reducing the temperature of the surface soil. In addition, water will also form low-melting boiling point substances with some organic pollutants, increasing the difficulty of thermal desorption. Summary of the Invention
