The inner cylinder 2 and the inner wall of the shell 1 are enclosed to form an annular space, the baffle plate 4 is arranged in the annular space and is connected with the outer wall of the inner cylinder 2, and the baffle plate 4 is a plate for changing the flow direction of fluid and can be selected according to the property and flow of a fluid medium and the size of a reactor; the side wall of the shell 1 is provided with a first chilling water inlet 3, and the first chilling water inlet 3 can be arranged at the position, close to the top of the inner cylinder 2, of the upper part of the side wall of the shell 1 or at the position, close to the outlet at the bottom of the inner cylinder, of the lower part of the side wall of the shell 1.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the volume of the reaction zone may be determined by the residence time of the materials involved in the reaction and the corresponding volumetric flow rate of gas under the particular temperature and pressure conditions; the aspect ratio of the reaction zone may be determined according to the distribution of the flow field in the reaction zone.
In the embodiment, an annular region enclosed by the inner cylinder 2 and the inner wall of the shell 1 is a chilling zone 13, and the chilling zone 13 is used for reducing the wall temperature of the inner cylinder 2 and the shell 1; the area enclosed by the material outlet 21 and the bottom of the housing 1 is the mixing zone 12. The basic process of the supercritical water oxidation reaction is as follows: the material to be treated is sprayed into the reactor from the input port 11 at the top of the shell 1 to carry out supercritical water oxidation reaction in the reaction zone 22, the high-temperature reaction product after the reaction is discharged into the mixing zone 12 from the material output port 21 at the bottom of the inner cylinder 2, meanwhile, the chilling water is input from the first chilling water inlet 3, flows from top to bottom on the wall surface of the inner cylinder 2 along the baffle plate 4, and is discharged into the mixing zone 12 from the gap between the inner cylinder 2 and the shell 1, so that the mixing of the high-temperature reaction product and the chilling water is realized.
In the embodiment, the first chilling water inlet 3 is arranged above the baffle plate 4, so that the chilling water directly flows continuously along the wall surface of the inner cylinder 2 under the guiding action of the baffle plate 4 after entering the shell 1, the retention time of the chilling water on the wall surface is prolonged, and the cooling effect on the wall surface of the inner cylinder is enhanced; in addition, the chilling water can flow from the top to the bottom of the inner cylinder 2 under the action of smaller resistance by utilizing the gravity, and the flow of the chilling water on the wall surface of the inner cylinder 2 is realized without using equipment with high pressure level, so that the equipment cost is reduced.
Preferably, the baffle plate 4 is spirally wound on the side wall of the inner cylinder 2, and the fluid circulation channel of the spiral baffle plate is continuous, so that the chilling water input from the first chilling water inlet 3 can continuously and spirally flow, the chilling water can be ensured to fill the gap between the wall of the reactor and the inner cylinder, and a chilling area can uniformly surround the inner cylinder 2 of the reactor, so that the temperature of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 2 of the reactor is reduced, and the oxidation corrosion of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 2 of the reactor under the high-temperature condition is relieved; on the other hand, the temperature of the reactor shell 1 is reduced, the heat dissipation loss is reduced, the material selection standard of the reactor shell 1 is reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the reactor can be greatly reduced.
Further preferably, the helical baffles 4 have the same pitch. When the pitch is too large, the flow speed of the chilling water is correspondingly reduced, so that the heat transfer effect between the chilling zone and the reaction zone is poor, and the outer wall is easy to overtemperature; when the pitch is too small, the flow rate of the chilling water is correspondingly increased, so that the temperature in the reaction zone is easily reduced, and the temperature required by the supercritical water oxidation reaction is difficult to maintain. In the specific reaction process, the temperature in the reaction zone is controlled to be more than 550 ℃, the temperature of the shell of the reactor is controlled to be less than 300 ℃, and the pitch of the baffle plate is determined according to the flow rate of chilled water and the temperature requirements of the reaction zone and the shell.
In the embodiment, the first chilling water inlet 3 is arranged on the side wall of the reactor shell 1, and the baffle plate 4 is arranged on the outer wall of the reactor inner cylinder 2, so that chilling water input from the first chilling water inlet 3 can continuously flow from top to bottom on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 2 along the baffle plate 4, so that the reactor inner cylinder 2 is uniformly surrounded, the cooling effect on the wall surface of the reactor inner cylinder 2 is enhanced, and the corrosion problem of the material of the reactor inner cylinder 2 under the high-temperature condition is effectively relieved.

It should be noted that the jet region 221 is a gasification reaction region of carbonaceous material; the medium in the recirculation zone 222 is combustion product carbon residue, water vapor and a small amount of oxygen from the jet zone under the action of convection entrainment; the reactions carried out in the tubular flow region 223 are mainly heterogeneous gasification reactions of carbon, methane and steam reforming reactions, reverse shift reactions, and the like. The jet zone 221, the reflux zone 222 and the tube flow zone 223 are distributed in a predetermined volume such that the ratio of the height to the diameter of the reaction zone 22 is a predetermined value. Specifically, the preset value of the aspect ratio can be determined according to the volume size distribution requirement of each region in the reaction zone 22, and the volume of the reaction zone 22 is determined according to the residence time of the material. Generally, the jet zone 221 has a larger volume and is located in the middle of the reaction zone 22 and is conically distributed, and the tube flow zone 223 is located in the lower portion of the reaction zone 22, and the volume is greatly influenced by the aspect ratio, and the higher the aspect ratio, the larger the tube flow zone 223 is.

Specifically, after the height-diameter ratio is determined, the position of the nozzle 111 can be determined, so that the value range of the atomization angle alpha is 30-60 degrees, the flow velocity of gas-phase materials in the materials is ensured to be more than 80 m/s, and the materials can be reacted more fully.
In this embodiment, the ratio of water in the material to be treated is large, the remaining components are a small amount of solid particles and inorganic salts, the water in the reaction zone 22 is supercritical water, the inorganic salts are precipitated in the supercritical water and discharged to the mixing zone 12 from the material outlet 21, the high-temperature reaction product is mixed with the chilled water input from the first chilled water inlet 3 in the mixing zone 12 and then cooled, so that the water in the mixing zone 12 can be cooled to a subcritical state, and the precipitated inorganic salts in the product can be dissolved in subcritical water.

It is further preferred that each second quench water inlet 31 is evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the shell 1, i.e. a plurality of second quench water inlets 31 are symmetrically arranged in the circumferential direction of the shell 1, such that the second quench water inlets form a multi-group spray pattern. The material turbulence in the mixing zone 12 is made more severe, thereby ensuring that a small amount of particulate matter therein is discharged out of the housing 1 along with the main flow of product without clogging the bottom of the housing 1.
