具体实施方式
现在,以下将参照表示本发明的一个或更多个实施例的附图更完整地描述本公开的主题。但是,本发明可以以许多不同的形式被实施,并且不应被解释为限于这里阐述的实施例。而是,这些实施例是具有由权利要求的语言指示的完整范围的本发明的例子。类似的附图标记始终表示类似的要素。
发明人设想例如分离器皿的锥形石油矿石器皿以加入RF加热天线。锥形结构可在以旋风分离器、絮凝器皿和滑槽等的形式进行材料处理中具有广泛的用途。设想的器皿的实施例是用于在处理和分离期间对石油矿石进行RF加热的锥形喇叭天线。
锥形天线可包含喇叭型天线、双锥偶极子天线和双锥环形天线(美国专利7453414)。锥形喇叭天线可以由扩口(flaring)TEM传送线形成,并且,如果喇叭壁包含驱动间断,那么可以是自激发型。
首先,参照图1,示出射频加热器10的实施例,其包括用于包含要被加热的材料14(在图2中示出)的器皿或罐12以及射频辐射表面16。
器皿12具有限定储器20的壁18。在图1所示的实施例中,辐射表面16是凹形的。在本实施例中,辐射表面16至少一般为锥形。作为替代方案,也可使用具有筒形、半球形、抛物面形、双曲线形、多边形或其它规则或不规则形状的辐射表面16。锥形辐射表面16从RF能量传送效率的观点看是有利的。如果辐射表面16被筒形处理罐支撑或者限定筒形处理罐,那么筒形辐射表面16会是有利的。
在图1所示的实施例中,储器20至少部分地由TEM天线或RF辐射表面16限定。RF辐射表面16至少部分地包围储器20,限定器皿壁18的至少一部分,并且,在示出的实施例中限定基本上整个器皿壁18。
在替代性实施例中,可通过部分地或完全地在辐射表面16的界限内的壁限定器皿12。例如,由不强烈地吸收由辐射表面16发射的RF辐射的材料制成的器皿可完全位于辐射表面16内,或者,其下部或上部可位于辐射表面16内,而器皿的其它部分处于被辐射表面16包围的体积外面。对于另一例子,辐射表面16可以是器皿壁18的内衬,或者部分地或完全地处于器皿壁18的界限内的结构。简言之,器皿12和辐射表面16可以是完全同延的、完全分离的或在任意相对程度上部分同延且部分分离的。
在图1和图2所示的实施例中,器皿12还包含溢洪道22、馈送开口24和排出开口26。如以下结合材料加热处理的描述进一步解释的那样,这些特征使器皿12适于用作使泡沫(froth)28与材料14分离的分离罐。
辐射表面16包含两个或更多个、这里为四个周向延伸、周向隔开的瓣30、32、34和36。在图1所示的实施例中,锥形辐射表面16被双重二分以限定通过电气绝缘的间隔体或肋38、40、42和44机械连接的四个瓣30、32、34和36。间隔体38、40、42和44将各瓣30、32、34和36以周向隔开、电气隔离的关系进行结合。瓣30、32、34和36被定位为辐照储器20的至少一部分,并且适于连接到射频交流电流(RF-AC)的源46。锥形辐射表面16由此限定还用作加热室的近电场施加器或天线。
虽然在示出的实施例中瓣30、32、34和36在器皿的整个高度上延伸并且被并排放置,但应理解,瓣可仅沿器皿的下部、或者仅沿器皿的上部或者仅沿器皿的中部延伸。并且,一组瓣可形成或跟随器皿的上部,并且,另一组瓣可形成或跟随器皿的下部。如处理所希望的那样,这样做可向罐的不同深度或其它部分施加不同量的RF能量。例如,在要描述的分离处理中,可能希望更强烈地加热处于沉降到底部的不活泼岩石和水之上并且处于上升到顶部的沫(foam)上或低于它的器皿的中间部分。
在图1所示的实施例中,多相RF-AC(这里为四相RF-AC)的源46(示为单独的源46A和46B)通过与瓣30、32、34和36电连接的多个导体48、50、52和54被馈送到瓣30、32、34和36。多相RF-AC可以是二相、三相、四相、五相、六相、12相或任何数量的相。在图1所示的实施例中,馈送到诸如30的各瓣的RF-AC关于馈送到各相邻瓣的交流电流为360/x度异相,这里,x是多相射频交流电流的相位的数量。这里,RF-AC是四相,因此,x=4。诸如30的各瓣关于诸如32的随后瓣和诸如36的先前瓣为90度异相,并且关于诸如34的相对瓣为180度异相,因此,RF电流的施加提供行波或旋转RF场分布。锥形瓣的该正交相位关系通过形成电流和电磁场的旋转的行波分布来确保均匀加热。
应当理解,瓣的数量和多相RF-AC的相的数量不需要相等,不是所有的瓣30、32、34和36都需要相互异相,各瓣之间的相位差不需要相同,并且,不是所有的瓣都需要在任何给定时间被馈送RF-AC。
RF-AC的源可被配置为提供具有适于加热内容14的电压、频率和功率的RF-AC电流。在本上下文中特别设想的是诸如UHF、VHF和EHF辐射的300MHz~300GHz的较高能量的射频范围内的频率,但是这些值外面的操作范围也被设想。对于本目的更优选的是300MHz~3GHz的范围内的频率,但是这些值外面的操作频率也被设想。辐照到储器20中的功率的量依赖于诸如这样的音素:要被加热的材料14的质量和吸收谱或材料14的成分、RF的频率、处理前和处理期间的材料温度、以及希望的加热速率。使用近场施加器使得能够使用相对低的RF频率,所述相对低的RF频率与更高频率相比更好地穿透材料14。
射频加热器可替代性地适用于许多其它类型的设备,例如图3所示的旋风分离器60。图3是U.S.6530484的图5变型的,在此通过引用并入其全部内容。
参照图3,旋风60包含具有切向入口64的入口室62。通过切向入口64引入入口室62中的新进料将在入口室62内循环涡旋,从而导致较致密(高重)材料与较不致密(低重)材料的分离。较致密材料向入口室62的外周区域移动,并且向下移动到共轴部分66中,而较不致密材料在由涡旋移动形成的旋涡处向着入口室62的轴向上行进(report),并且从低重出口67被输出。
共轴部分66的锥形部分68从入口室62延伸并且在大致筒形出口室70中终止。分离材料的高重馏分的高重馏分出口72被设置在出口室70中,并且一般相对于出口室70的外周切向布置,该布置是出口面向在出口室70中旋转的颗粒流的布置。渐屈线结构74被设置在旋风60的底流高重馏分出口72处。渐屈线结构74从出口室70向外盘旋约180度,并且与用于材料的粗馏分的一般切向高重馏分出口72合并。
图3的旋风中的RF加热装置与图1和图2的相应结构类似,具有相应的附图标记,并且在这里不被单独地描述。可以在本实施例中使用RF加热以例如防止气体RF吸收馏分在共轴部分66中凝聚。这将有助于将RF吸收馏分引向出口67而不是出口72。
在图4和图5中表示图3的施加器的变型。旋风80包含具有切向入口64的入口室62。通过切向入口64引入入口室62中的新进料将在入口室62内循环涡旋,从而导致较致密(高重)材料与较不致密(低重)材料的分离。较致密材料向入口室62的外周区域移动,并且向下移动到共轴部分66中,而较不致密材料在由涡旋移动形成的旋涡处向着入口室62的轴向上行进,并且从低重出口67被输出。
在图4和图5的实施例中,施加器82是锥形缠绕导体,该锥形缠绕导体可例如为在美国专利No.7205947中表示的Litz导体,这里通过引用并入该专利。施加器82优选沿来自切向入口66的材料的流动方向从周边边缘到中心向下缠绕,以减少施加器82对于共轴部分66内的流动的影响。通过附接到施加器82的中心和周边端部的馈送导体86和88,从电源向施加器82馈送RF交流电流。本实施例的设想的优点在于,一般表示为90的涡旋流体总是接近共轴部分66中的施加器82的部分,从而趋向于均匀地加热流体90。
本公开的另一方面涉及对一般称为处理流的乳液、分散、泡沫或浆料进行加热的方法。在本方法中,设置诸如图1和图2所示的射频加热器10和例如为沥青水处理流(材料14)的油水处理流。将受益于该方法的油水处理流的非限制例子是例如在从油砂、油页岩或其中油与矿基质结合的其它油层中提取石油或石油产品的过程中产生的沥青水处理流14。处理流可包含水中的添加剂,诸如被添加以使沥青与砂、粘土或其它基质分离的氢氧化钠。
处理流14被加热器10辐照,由此加热处理流的水相。加热器选择性地加热油水处理流中的水。由于沥青含油相和矿基质不强烈吸收辐射到材料14中的RF-AC,因此加热器选择性地加热油水处理流中的水。沥青相不被强烈加热,原因是它具有:低的电介质耗散因子,因此它相对地抵抗电介质加热;近零的磁性耗散因子,因此它不经受磁矩加热;并且近零的导电率,因此它不经受电阻加热。处理流中的水由此用作RF感受体,接收RF-AC并有效地将其转换成热。
处理流的相可非常接近(典型的乳液具有约1微米或更小的分散相颗粒直径,但是“乳胶”在这里被更宽泛地定义为包含小于500微米、替代性地小于200微米、替代性地小于100微米、替代性地小于50微米、替代性地小于10微米、替代性地小于5微米的分散相颗粒尺寸)。也设想具有更大颗粒的处理流,诸如矿石水浆料中的砂。假定1微米分散相,那么在周围水中产生的热仅需要从分散相的颗粒或液滴的外侧到中心传导大约0.5微米。水具有非常高的热传导性,具有高的热容,并且直接吸收RF能量,因此,通过水向其它成分的传导是迅速的。
特别地再次参照图2,参照从矿化油砂矿石或其它沥青矿石(广泛定义为包含油砂、油页岩和产生石油产物的其它这种矿石)分离出沥青、石油或它们的裂解产物,更详细地描述这里实施的分离过程。
例如通过对地层进行露天采矿而产生的矿化油砂矿石是被水和沥青涂敷的砂。矿石与水组合并被搅拌以产生包含在砂上承载的沥青的砂/水浆料。添加诸如碱液(氢氧化钠)的添加剂以使水和沥青乳化。
浆料通过馈送开口24被引入器皿12,从而添加到材料14的主体。在器皿12中,材料14的砂馏分80比水介质重。砂馏分和过量水下降到器皿12的底部以形成通过排出开口或砂捕捉装置26去除的砂浆料80。浆料泵82被设置以确实去除砂浆料80。
材料14的沥青馏分比水介质轻。沥青馏分在砂中浮起并且/或者在水中被乳化并且上升到浆料的顶部。可选地可以至少在器皿12的上部中提供搅拌,从而形成向上浮动富沥青馏分的气泡。顶部馏分28是包含在水中分散的富沥青馏分的泡沫,该泡沫进而具有在其中分散的空气。与底层的材料14相比,泡沫更为富含沥青,这是分离的技术基础。
在实施例中,材料14中的泡沫28和水如上面描述的那样被RF-AC辐射选择性地加热。沥青和砂不被直接加热,原因是它们对于RF-AC具有小的吸收性,但是,水强烈地吸收RF-AC并且被有效地加热。如以上通过引用并入的说明书中描述的那样,通过添加水以外的感受体-在材料14中分布的RF-AC吸收剂颗粒或纤维性材料,也可增加沥青/水处理流的加热。
对于沥青/水处理流施加热和搅拌趋于降低沥青的粘度,并且产生分离的沥青颗粒所粘附的泡沫,从而形成沥青泡沫。沥青泡沫上升到器皿12的顶部。保留到颗粒分离过程的沥青泡沫中的热使得颗粒沉降或离心装置中的诸如粘土的外来颗粒的分离变得容易。
通过进入的材料14使富沥青泡沫28强制向上,直到其表面84上升到器皿12的堰或边缘(lip)86。堰86可包围整个器皿12或者被限制于器皿12的周边的一部分。上升到堰86的水平之上的泡沫28迅速地向外流出拦堰86并且向下进入溢洪道22,并且通过泡沫排出口88从溢洪道22被去除以供给进一步的处理。
可以设想,可以在诸如分离、絮凝、液体的重力分离、反应器皿等的各种各样的不同工业过程和设备中使用采用RF-AC加热的施加的类似处理。
RF-AC加热的优点在于,它仅加热强烈地吸收它的某些材料,因此,即使其它材料与要被加热的材料相互接近,能量也不浪费于加热其它材料。
另一优点在于,以不引入燃料的附近燃烧的受控方式提供热。由于材料14是化学腐蚀性的(包含碱液)并且是物理腐蚀性(包含砂),因此器皿12或馈送管偶尔被破坏。如果器皿12被通过化石燃料所亏送的火焰或废气加热,并且大量的沥青由于破坏或其它的原因接触火焰,那么结果会是实质失火(substantial fire)。出于这种原因,希望避免开放火焰加热。
并且,RF-AC能量加热材料14中的所有水,不仅仅是最接近热源的材料。由此提供更均匀的加热。
并且,与蒸汽注射不同,RF-AC加热不向被加热的材料添加附加的水。在加热水中的沥青矿石的浆料的情况下,多于水的最小量的添加是不希望的,原因是这种水需要被分离和处理,因此,它可以以环境可接受的方式被处置。并且,这对于许多其它工业处理同样成立,在这些其它工业处理中,在处理中使用的水在被释放到环境之前需要被去除,并且在一些情况下被处理。
