Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a sludge treatment technical field, specifically relates to a novel sludge treatment system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sludge is a byproduct of sewage treatment, and the sludge production in China has exceeded 6000 tons in 2020 (calculated on the basis of 80% moisture content). It is mainly composed of polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, humic acid and other extracellular polymers. At the same time, it also contains a large amount of N, P, Ca and other elements, as well as heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls and other toxic organic matter and pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, sludge has the dual nature of "pollution" and "resource". The relevant scheme has been proposed to steadily promote the resource utilization under the premise of realizing the stabilization and harmless disposal of sludge. Anaerobic digestion of sludge can realize stabilization and harmless, and at the same time produce biogas to realize the resource utilization of sludge. However, a large amount of hydrolysis-resistant extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) (50%-80%) contained in sludge, cell wall and selective permeable cell membrane hinder the anaerobic digestion process of sludge. Therefore, the sludge needs to be pretreated before anaerobic digestion.

[0003] Ultrasonic wave is a kind of sound wave with frequency > 20 kHz. The sludge can be broken by using ultrasonic wave pretreatment, and its main mechanism is cavitation: when ultrasonic wave propagates in sludge medium, compression and stretching action will be generated, and positive pressure and negative pressure will be caused, and dense and sparse areas will be formed in sludge, and micro bubbles (cavitation bubbles) will be generated in sparse areas due to excessive negative pressure, which will gradually grow to break, and the shock wave generated at the time of breaking and the environmental conditions (high hydrodynamic shear, high temperature and pressure and free radicals) will promote the breaking of sludge. The above process is a physical action, so it will not cause secondary pollution and does not need to introduce chemical reagents, and at the same time, the toxic and refractory compounds contained in sludge can be degraded into simpler molecular structure. Common ultrasonic wave reactors include tank type acoustic chemical reactor and probe type ultrasonic wave chemical reactor, among which the latter is also called variable amplitude rod immersed acoustic chemical reactor, which is mainly composed of ultrasonic wave generator, transducer, variable amplitude rod and ultrasonic wave probe. Its main features are small emission area, strong ultrasonic wave, small probe and easy disassembly, and it can directly act on the medium, so it has been widely used.

[0004] However, the small emission area of ultrasonic wave is easy to cause uneven ultrasonic wave radiation and limited cavitation area, and with the extension of treatment time, the sludge is easy to agglomerate around the probe, which affects the subsequent decontamination effect.

The used nitrogen gas is treated in a separation tank and then returned to the nitrogen gas source for reuse. Using nitrogen gas to treat sludge enhances the system's treatment effect, improves gas utilization, and saves costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments.

A sludge discharge outlet 104 is provided at the bottom of the reaction tank 1.

[0022] Reaction tank 1 provides space for sludge treatment.

The ultrasonic wave probe 201 is coaxially arranged with the reaction tank 1.

[0024] The constant temperature layer 3 is arranged outside the reaction tank 1, which can provide the required temperature for the inside of the reaction tank 1 and ensure the constant temperature inside the reaction tank. The circulating water inlet 301 is arranged at the lower part of the constant temperature layer, and the circulating water outlet 302 is arranged close to the top.

[0025] The sludge sample inlet 101 is arranged at the middle part of the reaction tank. The lower end is conical, and the conical slope is provided with the gas inlet 102 connected with nitrogen.

The output end of the motor is installed with the stirring shaft which extends into the inside of the sludge tank 4. The stirring blades on the stirring shaft rotate under the driving of the motor to realize the stirring of the inside of the sludge tank 4.

[0027] The stirring of the sludge to be treated can avoid the deposition of the sludge and promote the fine granulation of the sludge, thereby being beneficial to the subsequent ultrasonic wave treatment process.

[0028] The gas inlet 102 is connected with the gas inlet pipeline 501, and the gas inlet pipeline 501 is connected with the nitrogen gas source 5.
