Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for removing gaseous organic substances from the air with an adsorbent in an adsorber, in which the adsorbent is regenerated by microwaves. It also relates to an installation for carrying out the method and the use of this installation.
- the desorption of regeneratively operated adsorption plants is usually carried out in the art with hot gas or steam vapor desorption. Since the energy input is coupled to the volume flow, it is only possible to concentrate the desorbate to a limited extent.
- the efficiency is particularly low for hot gas desorption, since the heat capacity of the air is low and the heat transfer between air and adsorbent is unfavorable. With decreasing pollutant concentration, the energy requirement per separated pollutant quantity increases. An energetically justifiable operation of such a system is therefore only possible to a limited extent.
- polar molecules especially water, absorb microwaves, it is known to water, but also others evaporate polar organic compounds, such as alcohols adsorbed on an adsorbent, with a microwave generator to regenerate the adsorbent.
- non-polar organic compounds cannot be removed in this way.
- the air also contains a number of non-polar or less polar organic pollutants, which are adsorbed by the adsorbent and must therefore be desorbed again during regeneration.
- nonpolar organic compounds in the air are alkanes or other aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons, for example benzene.
- the object of the invention is to provide an effective, energetically favorable method for removing gaseous organic substances from the air.
- the adsorbed organic substances for the regeneration of the adsorbent are desorbed by irradiation with microwave energy.
- the energy input occurs either by direct excitation of the adsorbate (especially in the case of polar compounds such as water, ethanol or aldehydes) and / or by the adsorbent absorbing microwaves.
- the microwave-absorbing adsorbent itself is heated in the latter case, so that non-polar or slightly polar organic compounds are also evaporated, that is, desorbed.
- Zeolites in particular have proven to be suitable as adsorbents for air purification, namely hydrophobic zeolites, ie zeolites with a high silicon / aluminum molar ratio, while hydrophilic zeolites with a low silicon / aluminum molar ratio preferentially adsorb water and thus only a low adsorption capacity for the organic pollutants contained in the air, i.e. unsuitable for air purification.
- the microwave excitability of a zeolitic adsorbent is due to the ion conductivity of the exchangeable cations in zeolite.
- the ionic conductivity arises from the change of location of the relatively mobile cations in the zeolite lattice.
- the ion conductivity can be influenced, among other things, by the choice of the cations, the aluminum content of the lattice (module), the lattice type and the water content. Since the dipole character of the zeolite lattice also depends on the ionic conductivity. hangs, the microwave excitability of the zeolite can be specifically adjusted in this way.
- hydrophobic zeolites are suitable as adsorbents, but do not have sufficient microwave adsorption capacity. As has been shown, however, the microwave adsorption capacity of hydrophobic zeolites can be increased.
- the silicon / aluminum ratio of hydrophobic zeolites is to lower the silicon / aluminum ratio of hydrophobic zeolites.
- a commercially available hydrophobic zeolite has a silicon / aluminum ratio of approximately 100
- a commercially available hydrophilic zeolite has a silicon / aluminum ratio of approximately 1.
- the silicon / aluminum molar ratio of the zeolite should be at least 10, preferably at least 30 and less than 100, preferably at most 90, in order to obtain zeolites which on the one hand absorb microwaves and on the other hand are suitable as adsorbents.
- a commercially available hydrophilic zeolite can be treated with water vapor or a commercially available hydrophobic zeolite with silicon tetrachloride in order to remove the aluminum or replace it with silicon.
- the adsorbent loaded with the pollutants can, if it has sufficient microwave absorption capacity, be heated according to the invention directly by microwave excitation. It is but according to the invention it is also possible to use an adsorbent which itself does not have sufficient microwave absorption capacity, provided that there is a further solid in the adsorber, which in turn has a high microwave adsorption capacity and thus heats the adsorbent to a temperature which is sufficient to desorb the organic substances.
- the microwave absorbing solid can be, for example, a hydrophilic zeolite, activated carbon, a polymer or the like.
- the adsorbent can be mixed with the microwave absorbing solid.
- the adsorber can be filled with a mixture of a (microwave-insensitive) hydrophobic zeolite and a hydrophilic zeolite as a microwave-absorbing solid.
- the weight ratio of the hydrophilic to the hydrophobic zeolite in such a mixture is preferably 1:10 to 1:30.
- the water adsorbed from the ambient air can be excited very selectively by microwave energy.
- the water content of the loaded adsorbent can be adjusted by the mixing ratio of different zeolites (zeolite types, hydrophilic-hydrophobic). As a result, the energy input or the temperature level to be achieved can be set. Similar to hot water vapor desorption, the desorbed water displaces the non-polar substances, which cannot be directly excited by microwave energy, in the sense of displacement desorption.
- the energy is generated quickly and with the method according to the invention high efficiency for desorption. This enables fast and low-loss desorption.
- the frequency used for microwave desorption can be, for example, in the range from 100 MHz to 10 GHz; it is preferably 2.45 GHz.
- the desorption air in contrast to hot gas desorption, for example, is not a heat energy carrier. It can therefore be used in a relatively small amount. As a result, the desorbate is present in a high concentration and can therefore be favorably subjected to catalytic oxidation in terms of energy.
- the oxidation catalyst with which the adsorbed organic substances are oxidized can either be added directly to the adsorbent or the organic substances can be desorbed and oxidized in a catalyst separated from the adsorber.
- the organic substances are burned to carbon dioxide and water by the desorption air on the oxidation catalyst.
- the desorption air with the oxidized organic substances is therefore preferably returned to the adsorber in the circuit for desorption.
- the heat of combustion and the energy from convection from the adsorber into the desorption air is thus returned to desorption (heat recovery).
- the oxidation catalyst can be platinum or a platinum group metal, for example.
- the zeolite or the other adsorbent may contain platinum in the oxidation state 0 (metallic clusters). Platinum or the other oxidation catalyst also leads to a strong increase in the microwave absorption capacity of the adsorbent.
- the method according to the invention and the system according to the invention is intended in particular for cleaning the air in rooms used by people, in particular for cleaning air in the interior of motor vehicles, including airplanes, furthermore in buildings or shelters, and also for protecting contaminated outside air.
- a prefilter for particle separation is preferably used to pre-clean the air flow to be cleaned.
- the contamination of ventilation systems represents a not insignificant health risk.
- biological materials on the adsorbent reduce the adsorption performance.
- the microwave energy for irradiating the prefilter can originate from the microwave generator for irradiating the absorber, or a separate microwave generator can be used for irradiating the prefilter.
- the system then consists of an adsorber 1, a microwave unit 2 arranged on the adsorber 1 and a catalyst 3 arranged separately from the adsorber 1.
- the adsorber 1 is designed as a cylindrical body which has circular segment-shaped connections 5 and 8 or 6 and 7 on both sides.
- the adsorber 1 consists of sectors 9, which are separated from one another by radially extending partition walls 16.
- the adsorber 1 is rotatable about a cylinder axis 4 in the direction of the arrow 10. In this way, the sectors 9 are connected in succession to the connections 5 and 6 or 7 and 8.
- the opposing connections 5 and 6 serve for the passage of the air to be cleaned through the adsorber 1, that is for the entry of the air to be cleaned into or out of the adsorber 1, as shown by the arrows 20 and 21.
- the opposing connections 7 and 8 serve for the passage of the desorption air through the adsorber 1, that is to say for entry into and exit from the adsorber 1, as shown by the arrows 22 and 23.
- connections 5 to 8 and the adsorber 1 must be arranged rotatably relative to one another about the cylinder axis 4 The drawing shown, it is also possible to make the connections rotating and the adsorber 1 stationary.
- the catalyst 3 is connected via a line, which is illustrated by the arrow 23, to the outlet 8 for the desorption air.
- the organic substances oxidized to water and carbon dioxide in the catalyst 3 are fed back to the adsorber 1 with the desorption air with a blower 12 via the line 13.
- the desorption air circulated can be fed to the desorption air line represented by the arrow 22 or, as shown in the drawing, to a further segment-shaped connection 15 on the side of the adsorber 1, on which the connection 7 for the inflowing desorption air 22 is also arranged.
