Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scale removing method by which scale removal of a supercritical hydroxylation device can be economically performed. SOLUTION: First, a supercritical hydroxylation device 10 is stopped from operating and fluid is let out of a preheater 14, a reactor 12, a heat exchanger 16, and a cooler 18 to empty them. Next, a scale removing chemical is introduced from a liquid-to-be-treated pipe 20 and is caused to flow in the preheater, reactor, heat exchanger, and cooler and to flow out from a treated liquid pipe 24 and is collected as waste liquid in a suitable vessel. Next, the supercritical hydroxylation device 10 is made to resume operation, and the waste liquid is mixed with liquid to be treated to feed the mixture to the supercritical hydroxylation device 10 during supercritical hydroxylation treatment to perform supercritical hydroxylation treatment of the waste liquid. Since the waste liquid undergoes supercritical hydroxylation treatment by the supercritical hydroxylation device 10 and waste liquid of the scale removing chemical does not need to be separately treated, scale can be removed at a low removing cost.

Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various types of activated sludge generated by the treatment of industrial wastewater and public sewage have been incinerated as a final treatment, and the incinerated ash has been a final disposal material. However, incineration, NO x as part of the exhaust gas, since harmful gases or dust is generated in the SO x, when discharging exhaust gas to the atmosphere, it was necessary to remove them. In some cases, highly toxic gas such as dioxin may be generated. Therefore, instead of incinerating the sludge, the sludge is subjected to a supercritical water oxidation treatment,
A method of oxidizing and decomposing, and a method of directly oxidizing and decomposing a factory waste liquid by directly performing a supercritical water oxidation treatment are being put into practical use.

By the way, a liquid supply pipe 20 for supplying a liquid to be processed to the supercritical water oxidation apparatus 10,
Scale components in the reaction fluid, for example, Fe, Ca, and the like, often adhere to the flow path of the reaction fluid such as the preheater 14 and the reactor 12 as a scale. If the scale adheres to and forms on the preheater 14, the heat transfer efficiency of the preheater 14 decreases, and it becomes impossible to perform sufficient heating and heating. Also,
If it adheres to the vessel wall of the reactor 12, an accident such as blockage may be caused. Therefore, usually, the operation of the supercritical water oxidation apparatus 10 is periodically stopped, and after the fluid in the apparatus is drawn out, as shown in FIG. The scale inside the device is removed by passing the removal chemical. The waste liquid of the scale removing chemical solution flowing out of the supercritical water oxidation apparatus is once collected, delivered to a waste liquid treatment company, and separately treated. For this,
There was a problem that the cost of the scale removing process was increased.

Not limited to a supercritical water oxidation apparatus having a tubular reactor, a universal type having, for example, a cylindrical reactor, in which a liquid to be treated flows in from the top of the reactor and flows out from the bottom. Even a supercritical water oxidation apparatus has the same problem. From the above, an object of the present invention is to economically perform scale removal of a supercritical water oxidation apparatus,
It is to provide a descaling method.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the course of developing a method for economically removing scale from a supercritical water oxidation apparatus, the inventor of the present invention has found that the scale components in the reaction fluid are supercritical water as a whole. Instead of depositing in the apparatus, it was found that only a part thereof was deposited as scale, and most of the precipitate was discharged to the outside together with the processing liquid.

[0011] Further, various experiments were carried out, and the following was found, with the idea of performing supercritical hydroxylation treatment on waste liquid generated when scale was removed using a scale removing chemical solution.
When an inorganic acid is used as a scale removing chemical and the waste liquid is supplied to the supercritical water oxidation device as a liquid to be treated, the components of the inorganic scale removing chemical or the waste liquid are not oxidized and decomposed by supercritical water oxidation. In the original form, it is discharged into the processing solution after supercritical water oxidation. Therefore, even if the waste liquid itself is used as the liquid to be treated, or the waste liquid and the liquid to be treated are mixed and supplied to the supercritical water oxidation apparatus, the treatment liquid is merely a liquid obtained by diluting the scale removing chemical liquid or the waste liquid. Therefore, as in the conventional case, the final treatment of the treatment liquid is required.

Among the inorganic acids, the exceptions are nitric acid and nitrous acid. Nitric acid and nitrous acid are chemicals used as an oxidizing agent in the supercritical water oxidation reaction, and are decomposed by the supercritical water oxidation to generate nitrogen gas. Therefore,
Since nitric acid and nitrous acid are not discharged to the treatment liquid after supercritical water oxidation as they are, unlike other inorganic acids, nitric acid and nitrous acid are used as scale removing chemicals and the waste liquid A critical hydroxylation treatment can be performed. When nitric acid and nitrous acid are used as scale removing chemicals and the waste liquid is subjected to supercritical hydroxylation treatment, the liquid to be treated must be treated so that oxygen in nitric acid and nitrous acid is completely consumed by the supercritical hydroxylation reaction. It is preferable that the waste liquid is mixed and supplied to the supercritical water oxidation apparatus.

On the other hand, when an organic acid is used as a scale removing chemical solution and the waste liquid is supplied to a supercritical water oxidation apparatus, the organic acid is oxidized and decomposed by supercritical water oxidation, so that the waste liquid is completely and reliably decomposed. It is processed. In other words, when an organic acid-based chemical for removing scale is used, the waste liquid is mixed with the liquid to be treated and supplied to the supercritical water oxidation device, and the supercritical water oxidation treatment is performed to completely and securely discharge the waste liquid. Can be disassembled. In addition, when the amount of waste liquid is large, the waste liquid itself can be directly supplied to a supercritical water oxidation apparatus as a liquid to be treated, and subjected to supercritical water oxidation treatment. Suitable organic acids for removing scale include organic acids having a chelating effect on iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca), such as formic acid, oxalic acid and citric acid. Also, a mixed solution of two or more kinds of organic acids such as formic acid, oxalic acid, and citric acid, or a mixed solution of the above organic acids and nitric acid or nitrous acid can be used.

The scale removing chemical solution may be passed through only the preheater 14 which is likely to adhere, and the waste liquid may be immediately collected. Alternatively, some devices can be bypassed.

According to the constitution of the present invention, a supercritical water oxidation apparatus is cleaned by using at least one of nitric acid, nitrous acid, and an organic acid having a chelating effect on scale products as a scale removing chemical. And collect the waste liquid. Next, the waste liquid is mixed with the liquid to be treated and sent to a supercritical water oxidation apparatus during the supercritical water oxidation treatment to carry out the supercritical water oxidation treatment of the waste liquid, or the waste liquid itself is treated as a liquid to be treated to supercritical water. By directly sending the liquid to the supercritical water oxidation apparatus during the hydroxylation treatment and performing the supercritical water oxidation treatment of the waste liquid, it is not necessary to separately treat the waste liquid of the scale removing chemical liquid as in the related art. Therefore, the scale can be removed from the supercritical water oxidation apparatus at a lower cost than in the conventional case.
