Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to photocatalytic reactor technical field, concretely relates to a kind of light catalytic equipment of collision impinging stream catalytic reinforcement. BACKGROUND

[0002] The refractory organic matter in industrial wastewater is generally treated by advanced oxidation process, such as Fenton oxidation method, which uses ferrous ions and hydrogen peroxide to generate strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals to oxidize and decompose organic matter; biological treatment process, such as biofilm method and anaerobic biological treatment, uses microbial metabolism to decompose organic matter; adsorption method uses activated carbon and other adsorbents to adsorb refractory organic matter by virtue of their porous structure and surface activity; membrane separation technology separates organic matter from water by virtue of the selective permeability of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes.

[0003] Advanced oxidation process usually requires the use of some expensive reagents, such as hydrogen peroxide and ferrous salt in Fenton oxidation method, and the consumption of reagents is large, and a large amount of iron-containing sludge is generated during oxidation process, which requires additional cost and facilities for treatment and disposal, increasing the complexity and cost of treatment. Excessive use of reagents or incomplete reaction may also result in the residual of some chemicals, which may pose potential harm to the environment. The combination of multiple processes may cause secondary pollution: during advanced oxidation process, some intermediate products may be generated, some of which may be toxic or difficult to further degrade, causing secondary pollution.

[0004] Photocatalytic oxidation process makes good use of the reactor to generate a large amount of strong oxidizing substances such as hydroxyl radicals under normal temperature and pressure by exciting oxidizing agents with ultraviolet light source, which can degrade organic matter in wastewater from macromolecules to small molecules, and can also mineralize some organic matter into carbon dioxide and water, which has good removal effect on many organic pollutants that are difficult to treat by traditional methods.

[0005] Traditional photocatalytic reactor mostly adopts the structure design of inserting ultraviolet lamp tube into cylindrical cavity on one side. The ultraviolet lamp tube is generally placed on the central axis of the reaction tube, or closely attached to the outer wall of the reaction tube. Under this structure, the distribution of reactants in the reactor is relatively uniform. The reactor uses the specific wavelength light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp to excite the catalyst loaded in the reactor. The inlet and outlet of the reactor are mostly arranged at both ends, respectively for the input of reactants and the output of products. However, the traditional photocatalytic reactor has obvious disadvantages, and its reaction efficiency is relatively low. The efficient performance of photocatalytic reaction depends on the reasonable layout of light source and reactor, and reasonable design of flow field can fully activate the catalyst by light source, and make the catalyst fully contact with fluid, thereby improving the utilization rate of light. However, the current reactor has the problem of small capacity due to poor cavity layout, which leads to insufficient water treatment capacity, and these defects seriously limit its popularization and large-scale use in industrial application field.
