Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.In Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, identical label is represented components identical.In the explanation hereinafter, will can not describe well-known function and structure in detail, to avoid becoming pondered-over because of unnecessary details makes the present invention.
The schematic diagram of the settler 12 that Fig. 1 is according to an embodiment of the present to be provided.This settler 12 comprises: places the precipitation parts 21 of container 20, is formed at the precipitation zone 24 of precipitation parts 21 and the Separation of Solid and Liquid zone 200 between precipitation parts 21 and the container 20, and the liquid outlet 28 that is positioned at container 20 tops 45.Precipitation zone 24 receives first strand of salting liquid 16, and separates out solid matter (not shown) from this salting liquid, and Separation of Solid and Liquid zone 200 makes solid matter get off by gravitational settling.Salt content is lower than second strand of liquid 17 of first strand of liquid 16 by liquid outlet 28 outflows in the Separation of Solid and Liquid zone 200.
The salt content of second strand of liquid 17 is subjected to the influence of many factors, for example: the structure of settler 12.Precipitation parts 21 and container 20 tops 45 are hollow cylinder.Precipitation parts 21 comprise a lower openings 201 that communicates with container 20.The upper opening 202 that communicates with the lower openings 201 of precipitation parts 21 communicates with container 20.In certain embodiments, the liquid of per unit cross-sectional area or solidliquid mixture flow are about every square feet of 0.12 to 0.48 gallon of per minute, perhaps about 8.2 * 10 in the Separation of Solid and Liquid zone -5To 3.3 * 10 -4Every square metre of cubic meters per second.The ratio of the diameter D on container 20 tops 45 and precipitation parts 21 diameter D1 is between 1.5 to 2.8, or between 1.6 to 2.2.In illustrated embodiment, the bottom of container 20 is tapered, and cone angle is spent between 120 degree about 60.The ratio of container height H and diameter D is about more than 0.2.
In some non-limiting example, container 20 can be other shape, for example full cylinder.Equally, precipitation parts 21 also can be other shapes, and are for example conical.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the partition member 22 that is arranged in precipitation zone 24 to small part forms separated region 220, and this zone communicates with precipitation zone 24 and Separation of Solid and Liquid zone 200.Partition member 22 comprises two openends, and is the unified hollow cylinder of diameter.
In addition, an agitating device 23 extends to flowing with liquid (perhaps solidliquid mixture) in promotion precipitation zone 24 and the separated region 220 in the separated region 220.The flow direction that agitating device drives liquid (perhaps solidliquid mixture) can be from the top down or from bottom to top.
The ratio of the diameter D2 of agitating device 23 impellers 230 and the diameter D of container 20 is between 0.2 to 0.4.The ratio of the diameter D2 of the diameter Dc of partition member 22 and agitating device 23 impellers 230 is about greater than 1.0 smaller or equal to 2.0.In certain embodiments, impeller 230 is marine impellers of 1/4th that diameter is about container 20 diameters.In certain embodiments, impeller 230 is cross-helicity oar formula prismatic blade impellers that diameter is about container 20 diameters 1/3rd.In certain embodiments, impeller 230 is by 2 to 6 aial flow impellers that blade is formed.
Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram that comprises the desalination system 10 of settler 12 and ultracapacitor desalter 100 among Fig. 1." ultracapacitor desalter " speech typically refers to and is used for seawater desalination or other brackish water deionizations and produces the ultracapacitor that uses institute's permission level so that the quantity of salt or other ionized impurities is reduced to life.
In some applications, the ultracapacitor desalter comprises one or more ultracapacitor desalination unit (not shown).In non-limiting example, each ultracapacitor desalination unit comprises pair of electrodes, dividing plate and a pair of collector that links to each other with electrode respectively at least.When a plurality of ultracapacitor desalination unit are deposited in when using simultaneously together, the polylith insulating barrier may be placed between every pair of adjacent ultracapacitor desalination unit.
In an embodiment of the present invention, collector may link to each other with the both positive and negative polarity of power supply (not shown) respectively.Because electrode links to each other with collector respectively, electrode can play the effect of anode and negative electrode respectively.
When ultracapacitor desalter 100 entered charged state, the inlet flow 13 that comes from liquid source (not shown) entered ultracapacitor desalter 100 by valve 110 and carries out desalination.Under this state, inlet flow 17 enters the flow path of ultracapacitor desalter 100 and is closed by valve 110.Be deposited in the surface of anode and negative electrode respectively from the positive and negative charge of power supply, from Ionized inlet flow 13, attract anion and cation, make them be attracted to the surface of anode and negative electrode respectively.The electric charge that is deposited in anode and negative electrode makes and for example passes through the liquid stream 14 that valve 111 flows out from ultracapacitor desalter 100 by output stream that salt content (concentration of salt or other ionic impurities) is compared lower with inlet flow 13.In certain embodiments, the output of desalination stream 14 may be by another desalter or again by ultracapacitor desalter 100 deionization desalination once more.
When ultracapacitor desalter 100 entered discharge condition, the anion of absorption and cation left the surface of anode and negative electrode respectively.Inlet flow 17 is imported ultracapacitor desalters 100 through filter 19 and valve 110 from settler 12 by pump 18, thereby takes away ion (anion and cation).Through the output stream 16 that valve 111 flows out from ultracapacitor desalter 100, salt content (concentration of salt or other ionic impurities) is compared higher with inlet flow 17.Under this state, inlet flow 13 enters the flow path of ultracapacitor desalter 100 and is closed by valve 110.Filter 19 can filter some particulates, to avoid stopping up ultracapacitor desalter 100.In some applications, also can not establish filter 19.
After the discharge of ultracapacitor desalter finished, this device entered the charged state of a period of time, for discharge is subsequently prepared.That is to say that the charging of ultracapacitor desalter and discharge are mutually alternately to handle inlet flow 13 and 17 respectively.
Inlet flow 13 can contain identical salt with inlet flow 17 or impurity also can contain salt inequality or impurity, its salinity or impurity concentration can be identical also can be different.In other embodiment, the salinity of inlet flow 17 or impurity concentration saturable or supersaturation, but also unsaturation or not supersaturation.
Under discharge condition, when liquid flowed in the ultracapacitor desalter, salinity or other ionic impurity concentration increased in the liquid, thereby the tendency of the precipitation of forming is arranged.Settler 12 was used for before liquid 17 flows into ultracapacitor desalter 100 from settler 12, from first strand of liquid 16, separate out solid matter, and make them be deposited to the bottom of container 20 by gravity, thereby isolate the salt that a part separates out or the particle (solid matter) of other impurity.
As shown in Figure 2, output stream 16 flows into precipitation zone 24 from the upper ends (not label) of precipitation parts 21 and separates out solid particle (not shown), disperses to enter Separation of Solid and Liquid zone 200 from the lower openings 201 of precipitation parts 21 and/or upper opening 202 then and carries out Separation of Solid and Liquid and circulation.Liquid (the perhaps mixture of liquid and solid) flows along the direction shown in the arrow 102.Diameter greater than special diameter separate out solid particle will by the gravity effect be deposited to container 20 than lower part.Other diameters are dispersed in the liquid less than the solid particle of separating out of special diameter.
When the discharge capacity sum of precipitation capacity and discharge stream 27 equals the charged species removal amount of inlet flow 13, charge-discharge cycles reaches balance, saturated or the degree of super saturation of the liquid that circulates between ultracapacitor desalter and settler will be stablized, and forms dynamic equilibrium.
In certain embodiments, liquid or solidliquid mixture (circular flow) that the device 25 that contains pump also can be used to make a part come from container 20 bottom cycle refluxing openings 46 pass through valve 26, and enter precipitation zone, thereby promote flowing of liquid in precipitation zone 24 and the separated region 220 or solidliquid mixture.After particle reduced in precipitation zone, the particle in a part of circular flow can be used as the seed particles that causes more precipitations in precipitation zone 24.During the circular flow operation, valve 26 cuts out the flow path of discharge stream 27.
In certain embodiments, can not use partition member 22.Similarly, in certain embodiments, can there be agitating device 23 and/or pump 25.
In certain embodiments, the energy that discharge condition discharged can be used to drive electrical equipment (not shown), and for example bulb perhaps can be reclaimed by for example two-way DC-DC converter and so on energy recycle device.
In other non-restrictive example, use similar to several ultracapacitor desalination unit stacks, ultracapacitor desalter 100 may comprise pair of electrodes, a pair of collector that links to each other with electrode respectively, one or more places the bipolar electrode between the electrode and place a plurality of dividing plates between every pair of adjacent electrode, handle inlet flow 13 under the charged state, under the discharge condition, handle second strand of liquid stream 17.Each bipolar electrode respectively has a positive pole and a negative pole, and is spaced apart by the ion non-permeable formation.
In certain embodiments, collector can be lath, net, paper tinsel or thin plate, and is made by metal or alloy.Metal can comprise such as titanium, platinum, iridium or rhodium.Alloy can comprise such as stainless steel.In other embodiment, collector can be made up of graphite or plastic material, for example can contain poly polyolefin.In some applications, the plastics collector can be mixed with conductive black or metallic, to obtain electric conductivity to a certain degree.
Electrode and/or bipolar electrode can comprise conductive material, and this material can have thermal conductivity, also can not have thermal conductivity, but and can contain the big particle of the little surface area of volume.In certain embodiments, conductive material can contain one or more material with carbon elements.The non-limiting example of this kind material with carbon element contains the combination of activated carbon granule, porous charcoal particle, carbon fibre, charcoal-aero gel, porous MCMB or above-mentioned substance.In other embodiments, conductive material can comprise the composite of conduction, for example the carbide of manganese, iron or both oxides or titanium, zirconium, vanadium, tungsten or its combination.
In addition, dividing plate can be made up of the electrically insulating material of permeable ion, comprises membrane material, porous material and pore-free material, and every pair of electrode separation is come.In non-limiting example, dividing plate can contain or itself constitutes certain space, forms the flow passage that flows through electrode for the liquid of handling.
In certain embodiments, electrode, collector and/or bipolar electrode can be the lath-shaped that is parallel to each other, thereby form the structure of stack.In other embodiment, electrode, collector and/or bipolar electrode can take on a different shape, and be for example laminar, block or cylindric.Further, electrode, collector and/or bipolar electrode can form various structures.For example, electrode, collector and/or bipolar electrode may be placed to concentric spirality, are continuous dividing plate therebetween.
As shown in Figure 3, in some design, settler 12 can use with pole-reversing electroosmosis device 11." pole-reversing electroosmosis " vocabulary shows the electrochemistry separation process of using amberplex to remove deionization or charged species from water or other liquid.
In some non-limiting examples, the pole-reversing electroosmosis device comprises a pair of respectively as the electrode of anode and negative electrode.Anion that several replace and cation-exchange membrane are placed between anode and the negative electrode, form a plurality of light chambers that replace mutually and dense chamber passage between them.Anion-exchange membrane can make anion pass through, and cation-exchange membrane can make cation pass through.In addition, the pole-reversing electroosmosis device may comprise also that several place the dividing plate between every pair of film and electrode and the adjacent film.
Therefore, when 11 energisings of pole-reversing electroosmosis device, for example liquid flows the liquid of 13 and 17 (as shown in Figure 3) and so on and flows through light chamber and the dense chamber passage that replaces mutually respectively.In the passage of light chamber, first strand of liquid 13 is ionized, and the cation in first strand of liquid 13 shifts to negative electrode by cation-exchange membrane, enters adjacent passage.Anion shifts by the anion-exchange membrane anode, enters adjacent passage.At the adjacent passage that is positioned at passage both sides, light chamber (dense chamber passage), even electric field applies strength (for example, anion is pushed to anode) by electrode to ion respectively, still, cation can not shift by anion-exchange membrane, and anion can not shift by cation-exchange membrane.Therefore, anion and cation are stayed in the passage of dense chamber, and concentration increases.Therefore, take the anion and the cation of high concentration out of pole-reversing electroosmosis device 11, make that output stream 16 is higher than the salt content of inlet flow 17 by second strand of liquid 17 of dense chamber passage.
In certain embodiments, the polarity of pole-reversing electroosmosis device 11 electrodes may be put upside down to reduce anion and cationic fouling tendency in the passage of dense chamber with for example 15 to 50 minutes the time interval.Therefore, under opposite polarization state, the light chamber passage under the normal polarity will become the dense chamber passage of second strand of liquid 17, and the dense chamber passage under the normal polarity will become the light chamber passage of inlet flow 13.
Therefore, when the pole-reversing electroosmosis device is in the normal polarity state, as solid line 33 and 34 signs, the liquid stream 17 that comes from the liquid stream 13 in liquid source (not marking) and come from container 20 respectively along separately first input pipe by the first road valve 31 and 32, enter pole-reversing electroosmosis device 11.Shown in solid line 37 and 38, diluent stream 14 and output stream 16 enter separately first efferent duct by the second road valve 35 and 36.
When the pole-reversing electroosmosis device is in the polarity reversal state, shown in dotted line 39 and 40, liquid stream 13 and 17 will enter pole-reversing electroosmosis device 11 along second input pipe separately.Shown in dotted line 41 and 42, diluent stream 14 and output stream 16 second efferent ducts that will enter separately.Therefore, inlet flow and output stream will alternately enter separately pipeline to reduce fouling tendency.
Salt or other contamination precipitations can take place in liquid in settler 12 after pole-reversing electroosmosis device 11 and 12 of settlers circulate.When the discharge capacity of precipitation capacity in the settler 12 and discharge stream 27 equals the removal amount of liquid stream 13 charged species in the pole-reversing electroosmosis device, the degree of saturation of the liquid that circulates in pole-reversing electroosmosis device and settler or degree of super saturation will be stablized, and form dynamic equilibrium.
In the application of some pole-reversing electroosmosis, electrode will comprise conductive material, and this material may have thermal conductance, also may not have thermal conductance, but and may contain the big particle of the little surface area of volume.Dividing plate comprises can be for iontophoretic injection but non electrically conductive material comprises membrane material, porous material and pore-free material.In non-limiting example, cation-exchange membrane will comprise the quaternary amine base, and anion-exchange membrane will comprise sulfonic group or carboxylic acid group.
In certain embodiments, when saturated or degree of super saturation is very high, the rapid precipitation of salt or other impurity can take place.For example, calcium sulfate just can precipitate rapidly in 5 minutes after at room temperature reaching hypersaturated state more than 400%, and this is very unfavorable to settling system.Therefore, in certain embodiments, will in container 20, add seed particles (not shown), thereby can when this salt or other ionic impurities are in lower hypersaturated state, cause precipitation rapidly on its surface.Agitating device 23 and/or pump 25 can promote the suspension of seed particles to distribute.
In non-limiting example, the average diameter of seed particles is between 1 to 500 micron, between 0.1 to 30 percentage by weight (wt%) of concentration liquid weight in precipitation zone.In certain embodiments, the average diameter of seed particles is between 5 to 100 microns, and the 1.0wt% of concentration liquid weight in precipitation zone is between the 20wt%.In some applications, seed particles is made up of solid particle, includes but not limited to calcium sulfate particle and hydrate thereof, to cause precipitation.The average diameter of calcium sulfate particle is between 10 to 200 microns.In certain embodiments, the 0.1wt% of the concentration of calcium sulfate seed grain liquid weight in precipitation zone is between the 2.0wt%, thereby makes the calcium sulfate concentration that leaves settler under this solution be controlled at 100% to 150% saturation degree.
Should be noted that seed particles is not limited to certain specific material, and will select according to the concrete applied environment of settler.
In certain embodiments, overflow 29 is by the overfall discharge that is higher than liquid outlet of portion from container, to keep waiting the saturated or degree of super saturation of holding some material in circulation and/or the reduction container 20.Overflow 29 can mix with the bottom stream 30 of discharging from container 20 bottoms with pump 25, forms discharge stream 27.
In certain embodiments, bottom stream 30 contains 10% or the deposit of higher percentage by weight.When discharge stream 27 operations, valve 26 cuts out the path that circular flow returns container 20.In addition, valve 204 is set, can be used to emptying receptacles 20 in the bottom of container 20.
Should be noted that settler 12 is not limited to use with specific ultracapacitor desalter or specific pole-reversing electroosmosis device.
In addition, as shown in Figure 4, vaporising device 43 and crystallizer 44 can be used to make discharge stream 27 evaporation or the crystallizations that come from settler 12, thereby improve the recycling of water or the zero-emission of realization liquid.Desalter 101 shown in Figure 4 can be the combination of any ultracapacitor desalter, pole-reversing electroosmosis device, other desalters or said apparatus.For convenience of description, some parts do not draw.Those skilled in the art know how to use vaporising device 43 and crystallizer 44, therefore do not repeat them here.In a non-limiting example, crystallizer 44 can be thermal crystalline device, for example dryer.In some applications, will can not use vaporising device 43 and/or crystallizer 44.
