Description

Self-overflow iterative separation cyclone and application thereof in separation of DNAs PLs in underground water
Technical Field
The disclosure belongs to the technical field of cyclone separation, and relates to a self-overflow iterative liquid-liquid hydrocyclone which is suitable for separating heavy non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAs) from water in polluted underground water. Specifically, the disclosure provides a self-overflow iterative separation cyclone and application thereof in separation of DNAs PLs in underground water.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of industrial processes in China, the problems of heavy non-aqueous phase pollution caused by leakage and discharge of coal tar, heavy mineral oil and the like generated in industrial links such as mineral exploitation, metal smelting, petrochemical industry and the like, biological medicines, halogenated solvents widely applied in basic production and extracting agents are increasingly aggravated, and the pollution is a leading factor of soil and underground water. Such contaminants are generally denser than water, easily penetrate soil into groundwater, and form DNAPLs, which are persistent sources of contamination and cause serious "triple-cause" (carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic) hazards to human health.
DNAPLs are not easy to dissolve in water, have high viscosity, are easy to emulsify, have density heavier than water, and have weak mobility, difficult degradability and low water solubility, and can finally stay at the bottom of an aquifer through the aquifer in the underground water transportation process and are extremely unevenly distributed. For the separation of DNAPLS pollutants in underground water, the traditional single separation method, namely a cyclone separation method, a coalescence separation method, a membrane separation method and the like, cannot achieve efficient and rapid separation. The high-speed rotating shearing flow field in the cyclone can intensify the emulsification of the DNAPLs, so that the high-efficiency separation of small-particle-size liquid drops cannot be ensured, and the separation efficiency is reduced; the coalescence-separation equipment occupies a large area, and the free state stays in the separation bed layer for too long and discontinuously, so that the separation efficiency is low; the membrane separation method has high cost, and the separation process is easy to block, so the method is not suitable for the separation. Therefore, in the groundwater pollution remediation problem which is to be solved at present, it is important to develop and improve a new technology and a new device for separating DNAPLs in groundwater.
For liquid-liquid cyclone separation, researchers have improved the structure of a hydrocyclone more. In order to improve the separation efficiency, a mode of connecting a plurality of stages of hydrocyclones in series or changing the structure of a component of the hydrocyclone in series with other separation equipment is generally adopted. This not only increases the manufacturing cost and the operation and maintenance cost, but also increases the installation workload and the installation space.
US20060130444a1 describes a separation device with a plurality of hydrocyclones connected in series, the overflow of each separation stage being connected to the inlet of the next separation stage for a secondary separation. Similarly, CN208912333U provides a multistage hydrocyclone separation device, which comprises at least two first-stage hydrocyclones connected in series, the first outlets of the second-stage hydrocyclones are respectively connected to the first outlets of the corresponding first-stage hydrocyclones, and the second outlets of the second-stage hydrocyclones are both connected to a settling separator, which has the advantages of good separation effect and large treatment capacity, but the device has large floor area, multiple equipment structures and high manufacturing cost, and the substances to be separated stay in the device for a long time, and is not suitable for the environment with limited space, and cannot meet the requirement of rapid separation.
US20200122163a1 describes a hydrocyclone and a multiple combined hydrocyclone system, which cyclone has a drain arranged at the upper part of the column section, separate from the overflow pipe, which effectively reduces the risk of the coarse fraction being misplaced and left in the column section, reduces maintenance requirements and prolongs the service life of the hydrocyclone, but the structure of which affects the stability of the hydrocyclone plant and reduces the separation efficiency.
WO0141934a1 discloses a recirculation cyclone for dust removal and dry gas purification, comprising a counter-flow cyclone collector and a straight-through cyclone concentrator, wherein relatively clean substances flowing out of the counter-flow cyclone collector enter the straight-through cyclone concentrator for secondary separation, light-phase substances are discharged after the secondary separation, and heavy-phase substances enter the counter-flow cyclone collector for further separation.
CN203124134U discloses a novel adjustable concentric two overflow pipe formula three product hydrocyclones, its characterized in that overflow pipe inboard overflow pipe and outside overflow pipe, accessible change in, outside overflow pipe diameter size, outside overflow pipe depth of insertion improve the swirler classification performance, can the product of three kinds of different particle sizes of simultaneous separation, have compact structure, application scope is wide, the high advantage of operation elasticity, but this device can not carry out the secondary separation to the looks material, lead to the shortcoming that separation efficiency is low.
CN104773788A discloses a circulating cyclone separator, which is characterized in that cleaner water after cyclone separation in an internal and external circulating pipeline systems rises from an internal circulating pipe, is sucked into a water pump through an external circulating pipe, and then enters a cyclone from a water inlet pipe through the water pump to perform secondary separation.
CN111686950A discloses a method and device for quickly separating oil and water under high temperature and high pressure, which includes a first-stage separation upper shell provided with a hydrocyclone and a second-stage separation lower shell provided with a coalescer, the upper shell is provided with an overflow liquid outlet and an underflow liquid outlet which can be respectively connected with an overflow liquid return port and an underflow liquid return port arranged on the top of the lower shell through pipes, the method and device have the advantages of improving the high temperature and high pressure resistance of the hydrocyclone by changing the connection position of the external interfaces of the upper shell and the lower shell, realizing the quick separation of oil and water in one device, and improving the separation efficiency, but the device has larger structure floor area, and is not suitable for places with limited installation space.
CN109332018A discloses a hydrocyclone, which is characterized in that a plurality of baffles are arranged in the liquid inlet pipe of the hydrocyclone, so that the contact area of two phases can be increased, the turbulent energy can be increased, and the hydrocyclone has the characteristics of extraction and separation capabilities, but the pressure drop of the pipeline is increased, so that the disadvantages of dispersed phase emulsification, unstable flow field and separation efficiency reduction can be caused.
In conclusion, in the liquid-liquid cyclone separation process, the problem of low separation efficiency caused by more circulating flow and short-circuit flow in the cyclone also exists; dispersion phase emulsification problems; the problems of rotational flow center offset and short-circuit flow increase caused by unstable flow field; the single equipment has low separation efficiency, large occupied area of multi-stage series-parallel connection and the like. Aiming at the underground water separation process containing DNAPLS, a hydrocyclone which has the advantages of simple structure, high efficiency, rapid two-phase separation, minimized occupied space, high classification precision, high separation efficiency, low energy consumption and demulsification is urgently needed to be developed.
