Chlorine dioxide (ClO) is known2) Is an oxidant, a deodorizer, and a bleaching agent. At present, the environmental protection is increasingly valued, chlorine dioxide only has the oxidation effect and does not have the chlorination effect in water, and the characteristic not only leads the dioxygenChlorine dioxide is used as a disinfectant for hospital sewage, cyanide and paper-making wastewater, swimming pool water and the like, and also as a disinfectant for drinking water, particularly when drinking water is severely polluted by ammonia and phenol or chlorine disinfection is difficult, showing the unique feature of chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant.
Chlorine is also a bleaching, disinfecting agent. Can be used for sterilizing drinking water, but the chlorine can form chloralkane during the sterilization, and has carcinogenic effect, so the use of the chlorine as the disinfectant of the drinking water is influenced. However, in some cases, such as the disinfection of swimming pool water, chlorine may be used as the disinfectant.
Currently, there are two general types of methods for producing chlorine dioxide. One type is electrolytic. The method adopts sodium chloride as electrolyte, and puts the electrolyte into an electrolytic tank with a diaphragm for electrolysis to generate mixed gas of chlorine dioxide, chlorine, ozone and hydrogen peroxide, and byproducts are sodium hydroxide and hydrogen. The method has the disadvantages of large investment, large raw material consumption and high power consumption, and the diaphragm needs to be cleaned and replaced frequently. The proportion of chlorine dioxide is less than 30 percent, and the yield is limited. Another type of process is a chemical process. Chemical processes are divided into two cases, one of which is an industrial implementation process, which can be represented by US 3844456. The method disclosed by the patent has the advantages of high investment cost, large equipment volume and more accessory equipment, is only suitable for large-scale industrial application, and is not suitable for commercial and small-batch production. Another situation is that of commercial generators, which are currently in existence in the country. According to the introduction of CN1114632A, the method of the patent application adopts sodium chlorate as a raw material, sodium chloride as a reducing agent and sulfuric acid as an acidifying agent, and the reaction is carried out in a single-stage reaction chamber at normal temperature and high acidity, the reaction is not carried out completely, and the reaction residual liquid needs to be neutralized for use. In addition, the reaction is carried out by the negative pressure generated by the circulation pump, and if the circulation pump fails, explosion due to the excessively high concentration of chlorine dioxide is likely to occur. Although the charging pump is added to make up the facility to blow chlorine dioxide and chlorine out of the generator, the air is heavily filled with chlorine dioxide and chlorine, which also causes injury to personnel and corrosion of peripheral equipment.
Therefore, the present inventors have conducted a great deal of research and completed the invention of preparing a chlorine dioxide disinfectant by using sodium chloride as a raw material and hydrochloric acid as an acidifying agent to carry out a thorough reaction in a multi-stage reaction system in which the reaction temperature is raised step by step under negative pressure while blowing air into the reaction solution. The invention can overcome the defects in the prior art.
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of a chlorine dioxide disinfectant.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an apparatus suitable for producing the chlorine dioxide disinfectant described above.
In order to complete the task of the invention, the following technical scheme is adopted.
A method of producing a chlorine dioxide disinfectant, the method comprising the steps of:
(1) preparing 540g/l aqueous solution of sodium chlorate;
(2) the sodium chlorate aqueous solution and 31 percent hydrochloric acid enter a first-stage reaction chamber and a second-stage reaction chamber with negative pressure and temperature of 40 ℃ and 70 ℃ respectively according to the volume ratio of 1: 1 for reaction;
(3) blowing air heated by a heating box into the reaction liquid in the two reaction chambers respectively;
(4) the generated chlorine dioxide, chlorine and reaction liquid enter a gas collection chamber at the temperature of 95 ℃; and
(5) and recovering the mixed gas and the reaction liquid which reacts completely through a water ejector to prepare the chlorine dioxide disinfectant.
The chlorine dioxide prepared by the invention is obtained by taking sodium chlorate as a raw material and hydrochloric acid as an acidifier through chemical reaction, and the two raw materials can start to react as expressed by the following reaction formula after being mixed in a reaction chamber:
in order to make the reaction proceed to the bottom as far as possible, the invention adopts a multi-stage reaction chamber system. Firstly, the material is sent into a first-stage reaction chamber and then enters a second-stage reaction chamber and a gas collecting chamber, and the temperature of each chamber is gradually increased, so that the reaction equilibrium moves towards the direction of forming reaction products. In addition, the reaction of sodium chlorate and hydrochloric acid tends to be more complete by blowing air into the reaction system so that the generated chlorine dioxide and chlorine gas rapidly leave the reaction system.
In order to better control the whole reaction, the temperature of each heating box is usually varied within + -2 deg.C.
The heating of the closed reaction chamber is carried out by means of a heating box placed outside the reaction chamber. The heating box can be made into a water bath, and is heated by a conventional controllable electric heating method to heat the reaction chamber and the reaction liquid in the reaction chamber to a preset temperature.
In order to ensure the temperature of each part of the reaction chamber is consistent, the invention firstly heats the reaction chamber from the outside through the heating box, and secondly heats the reaction solution in the reaction chamber to the air with the same temperature as the reaction chamber through the air inlet pipe arranged in the corresponding heating box. By doing so, the temperature of the reaction system can be ensured to be uniform, and the chlorine dioxide and the chlorine gas generated in the stripping reaction liquid can be simultaneously played.
The air inlet pipe can blow air with the same temperature as the reaction chamber into the reaction chamber because the air inlet pipe for introducing air is heated by the first-stage or the first-stage and the second-stage heating boxes. The number of heating stages depends on the reaction chamber into which the inlet pipe is intended to enter.
The mixed gas of chlorine dioxide and chlorine blown by air is collected by the air collecting chamber. The reaction liquid flows into the gas collecting chamber, reacts quickly and thoroughly at the high temperature of 95 ℃, is pumped out together with the mixed gas through the water ejector, and can be directly sent to a user to be used as a disinfectant.
The invention can control the ratio of the reaction materials accurately, so that the reactants can react under the condition that the pH value is 6-7.
The equipment for preparing chlorine dioxide disinfectant includes feeding device formed from two raw material proportioning tanks and two quantitative feeders, two-stage reaction chambers connected in series, heating tank and air inlet pipe, gas-collecting chamber and heating tank, water injector and safety device formed from pressure gauge, neutralization tank, electromagnetic valve and explosion-proof valve.
The quantitative feeder is used for controlling the adding amount of the two raw materials. Any device that can be used to quantitatively control the flow of a liquid can be used with the present invention. For example, a general-purpose metering pump, a titrator for counting the number of liquid drops in seconds, a flow meter, and the like.
The negative pressure in the apparatus of the invention is provided by pressurized water. If the pressure of the pressurized water becomes small or absent, the reaction will not proceed. A large amount of chlorine dioxide and chlorine gas exist in the reaction liquid, and if the chlorine dioxide and the chlorine gas are not treated in time, the chlorine dioxide and the chlorine gas are harmful. The known generating device blows gas to the reaction liquid through a gas pump in the case, and the method certainly blows chlorine dioxide and chlorine gas to the space, and because the chlorine dioxide generating device is generally placed in a room, a large amount of chlorine dioxide and chlorine gas in the air is inevitably generated, and operators and peripheral equipment in the field are harmed. Based on the consideration, the equipment of the invention is additionally provided with a pressure gauge with a sensor on the jet device, and simultaneously, the bottom parts of the first-stage reaction chamber and the second-stage reaction chamber are additionally provided with discharge pipes with electromagnetic valves, under the condition of low water pressure or no pressure, the pressure gauge drives the electromagnetic valves to be opened, the reaction liquid in the reaction chambers is rapidly discharged into a reaction liquid neutralization tank, and the sodium hydroxide in the tank is utilized to absorb chlorine dioxide and chlorine in the reaction liquid and simultaneously give an alarm. If the electromagnetic valve fails, the pressure in the reaction chamber can open the explosion-proof valve when reaching a certain pressure, so that the mixed gas is discharged to the outside. The explosion-proof valve is arranged on the mixed gas communicating pipe.
Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of the chlorine dioxide disinfectant and the generating equipment thereof have the following remarkable advantages:
1. the reaction is carried out by utilizing two stages of reaction chambers at gradually increased reaction temperature, so that the reaction has higher reaction speed, meanwhile, the temperature of the gas collection chamber is close to the boiling point, the reaction can be more complete, and the reaction conversion rate can be increased to more than 95%;

3. only two raw materials are used, so that the cost is reduced and the operation procedure is simplified;
4. the water ejector directly uses tap water as a pressure source, so that the inconvenience caused by using a pump is avoided, and meanwhile, an explosion-proof valve and an electromagnetic valve are added, so that the equipment is operated within a safe range at any time.
