Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'effluents aqueux contenant en solution des matières organiques et éventuellement des sels minéraux en vue d'éliminer les substances organiques et de récupérer éventuellement les sels minéraux d'une qualité suffisante pour en permettre la valorisation et la commercialisation.The present invention relates to a process for the treatment of aqueous effluents containing organic matter and possibly mineral salts in solution with a view to eliminating the organic substances and optionally recovering the mineral salts of a sufficient quality to allow the recovery and the marketing.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'effluents aqueux contenant un taux élevé de matières organiques (de l'ordre de 10 %) et de sels minéraux (généralement compris entre 15 et 30 %).More particularly, the invention relates to a process for treating aqueous effluents containing a high level of organic matter (of the order of 10%) and of mineral salts (generally between 15 and 30%).

Dans ce cas, le traitement de tels effluents est d'autant plus difficile que la teneur en sels minéraux est plus élevée et que la stabilité des matières organiques résiduelles est plus grande.In this case, the treatment of such effluents is all the more difficult the higher the mineral salt content and the greater the stability of the residual organic materials.

Il est connu de soumettre des effluents aqueux du type ci-dessus à une combustion dans un incinérateur constitué d'un four cylindrique vertical dans la partie supérieure duquel se trouve l'orifice d'un brûleur de combustible liquide ou gazeux et dans les parois duquel, vers l'extrémité supérieure, se trouvent les orifices des injecteurs amenant l'effluent à traiter au niveau de la flamme.It is known to subject aqueous effluents of the above type to combustion in an incinerator consisting of a vertical cylindrical furnace in the upper part of which is the orifice of a liquid or gaseous fuel burner and in the walls of which , towards the upper end, are the orifices of the injectors bringing the effluent to be treated to the level of the flame.

Des fours équipés de brûleurs mixtes formés de trois tubes concentriques dans lesquels arrivent les eaux polluées, le combustible et l'air comburant sont également utilisés.Ovens equipped with combi burners formed by three concentric tubes into which the polluted water, fuel and combustion air arrive are also used.

Des fours incinérateurs de ce type n'ont pas toujours un fonctionnement satisfaisant et les sels récupérés sont grisâtres et non commercialisables. Cette mauvaise efficacité est due au fait, que, compte tenu de la conception du four, la température de brûlage ne peut être augmentée sans risque de bouchage. Ainsi, lorsque l'on utilise un effluent aqueux contenant du sulfate de sodium en tant que sel minéral , une température voisine de 850°C, nécessaire pour la destruction de la quasi-totalité des matières organiques, ne peut être atteinte car à cette température, le sel fond et il se forme sur la paroi une sorte de meringue qui progressivement en s'accumulant conduit au bouchage du four. Pour éviter cet inconvénient, il est possible d'envisager une combustion à plus basse température c'est-à-dire au voisinage de 720°C. Cependant, à cette température, la combustion des composants organiques de l'effluent est incomplète et le sel récupéré est souillé de particules de suie qui le rendent inutilisable. Par ailleurs, compte tenu de l'angle de pulvérisation de chaque injecteur, une partie de l'effluent pulvérisé tombe directement sur la paroi du four provoquant et favorisant le dépôt du sel.Incinerator ovens of this type do not always function satisfactorily and the salts recovered are greyish and not marketable. This poor efficiency is due to the fact that, taking into account the design of the furnace, the burning temperature cannot be increased without risk of blockage. Thus, when an aqueous effluent containing sodium sulphate is used as the mineral salt, a temperature close to 850 ° C., necessary for the destruction of almost all of the organic matter, cannot be reached because at this temperature , the salt melts and a kind of meringue forms on the wall which gradually accumulating leads to blockage of the oven. To avoid this drawback, it is possible to envisage combustion at a lower temperature, that is to say in the vicinity of 720 ° C. However, at this temperature, the combustion of the organic components of the effluent is incomplete and the recovered salt is contaminated with soot particles which render it unusable. Furthermore, given the spray angle of each injector, part of the sprayed effluent falls directly on the wall of the furnace causing and promoting the deposition of salt.

Il a maintenant été trouvé, et c'est ce qui fait l'objet de la présente invention, que la combustion peut être nettement améliorée et que le dépôt du sel fondu sur la paroi du four peut être notablement diminué en modifiant le système d'injection, en augmentant la turbulence et en favorisant le contact du flux chaud avec l'effluent à traiter.It has now been found, and this is the object of the present invention, that the combustion can be markedly improved and that the deposition of the molten salt on the wall of the oven can be significantly reduced by modifying the system of injection, increasing turbulence and promoting contact of the hot flow with the effluent to be treated.

Selon la présente invention, le brûlage des effluents aqueux est effectué dans un four vertical cylindrique dans lequel L'effluent aqueux est injecté dans la zone de combustion par un injecteur dont l'extrémité est située au centre de la partie supérieure du four, qui est de préférence conique et dans lequel les brûleurs sont disposés presque tangentiellement au périmètre du four et sont inclinés vers la base. Plus particulièrement, les brûleurs sont disposés symétriquement à la partie supérieure du four et la projection de leurs orifices sur un plan perpendiculaire l'axe du four se trouve à l'intérieur d'une couronne dont le rayon est compris entre le rayon et la moitié du rayon du four. Les brûleurs sont orientés dans un plan horizontal et dans un plan vertical. L'orientation est définie :

  • - par l'angle dièdre formé par le demi-plan vertical passant par L'axe du brûleur et par le demi-plan vertical passant par l'axe du four et l'orifice du brûleur, cet angle étant généralement compris antre 120 et 160° , et le prolongement de l'axe du brûleur étant tangent à un cylindre vertical fictif dont le rayon est au moins 0,35 fois celui du rayon du four, et
  • - par l'angle d'inclinaison du brûleur vers le bas, cet angle avec La verticale étant généralement compris entre 10 et 60°.
According to the present invention, the burning of the aqueous effluents is carried out in a vertical cylindrical oven in which the aqueous effluent is injected into the combustion zone by an injector whose end is located in the center of the upper part of the oven, which is preferably conical and in which the burners are arranged almost tangentially to the perimeter of the furnace and are inclined towards the base. More particularly, the burners are arranged symmetrically at the top of the furnace and the projection of their orifices on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the furnace is inside a crown whose radius is between the radius and half of the oven radius. The burners are oriented in a horizontal plane and in a vertical plane. Orientation is defined:
  • - by the dihedral angle formed by the vertical half-plane passing through the axis of the burner and by the vertical half-plane passing through the axis of the furnace and the orifice of the burner, this angle generally being between 120 and 160 °, and the extension of the burner axis being tangent to a fictitious vertical cylinder whose radius is at least 0.35 times that of the radius of the furnace, and
  • - by the angle of inclination of the burner downwards, this angle with the vertical being generally between 10 and 60 °.

L'extrémité de l'injecteur central doit être située de telle manière que le jet pulvérisé tombe directement dans la flamme ; sa position par rapport aux brûleurs est donc définie par l'angle de pulvérisation. L'effluent subit une combustion dans la zone délimitée par l'extrémité de l'injecteur et des brûleurs, puis il traverse obligatoirement la flamme qui constitue une zone surchauffée dans laquelle la combustion se parfait. Par ailleurs, en orientant les brûleurs comme indiqué ci-dessus, la turbulence créée refoule les produits de combustion vers le centre du four évitant ainsi le dépôt gênant du sel sur la paroi. En utilisant un tel système, la température de combustion peut être nettement supérieure à la température de fusion du sel.The end of the central injector must be located in such a way that the spray jet falls directly into the flame; its position relative to the burners is therefore defined by the spray angle. The effluent undergoes combustion in the zone delimited by the end of the injector and of the burners, then it necessarily passes through the flame which constitutes an overheated zone in which the combustion is perfect. Furthermore, by orienting the burners as indicated above, the turbulence created pushes the combustion products towards the center of the oven, thus avoiding the annoying deposit of salt on the wall. Using such a system, the combustion temperature can be significantly higher than the salt melting temperature.

Pour favoriser l'évacuation des fumées qui entraînent le sel, il est créé une dépression à l'intérieur du four, l'orifice d'évacuation étant situé dans la partie basse du four.To promote the evacuation of the fumes which carry the salt, a vacuum is created inside the oven, the evacuation orifice being located in the lower part of the oven.

L'injecteur amenant l'effluent aqueux à brûler peut être constitué de deux tubes concentriques. L'effluent aqueux circule dans le tube central et dans le tube annulaire extérieur circule de l'air éventuellement comprimé : l'effluent est ainsi pulvérisé par l'orifice de l'injecteur.The injector causing the aqueous effluent to burn can consist of two concentric tubes. The aqueous effluent circulates in the central tube and in the external annular tube circulates air possibly compressed: the effluent is thus pulverized by the orifice of the injector.

Les brûleurs situés dans la partie supérieure du four vers la périphérie sont de type classique et ils peuvent être alimentés par des combustibles liquides ou gazeux. Généralement trois brûleurs, disposés en étoile, à 120°, et orientés vers la base du four, sont utilisés. 0 The burners located in the upper part of the oven towards the periphery are of the conventional type and they can be powered by liquid or gaseous fuels. Generally three burners, arranged in a star, at 120 °, and oriented towards the base of the oven, are used. 0

Un incinérateur utilisé pour la mise en oeuvre de la présente invention est particulièrement intéressant pour brûler les effluents aqueux contenant des substances organiques dont la stabilité thermique est élevée et plus particulièrement les effluents aqueux issus de la préparation de la méthionine. Les eaux-mères provenant de la fabrication de la méthionine contiennent en moyenne 20 % en poids de sulfate de sodium et 10 % en poids de matières organiques.An incinerator used for the implementation of the present invention is particularly advantageous for burning aqueous effluents containing organic substances whose thermal stability is high and more particularly aqueous effluents from the preparation of methionine. The mother liquors from the production of methionine contain on average 20% by weight of sodium sulfate and 10% by weight of organic matter.

Avec un effluent de ce type, la température d'inflammation est voisine de 700°C mais la température optimale de la combustion se situe au voisinage de 900°C, une température supérieure n'apportant pas une amélioration sensible du résultat recherché.With an effluent of this type, the ignition temperature is close to 700 ° C. but the optimal combustion temperature is situated in the vicinity of 900 ° C., a higher temperature does not bring a significant improvement in the desired result.

L'effluent aqueux doit être pulvérisé, éventuellement sous pression (par exemple 10 bars), en présence d'un excès d'air voisin de ou supérieur à 30 %.The aqueous effluent must be sprayed, possibly under pressure (for example 10 bars), in the presence of an excess of air close to or greater than 30%.

Le temps de séjour dans l'incinérateur, défini par le rapport du volume de la zone de combustion au débit de l'air est voisin de 3 secondes, un temps de séjour plus long n'apportant pas une amélioration sensible du résultat et un temps de séjour plus court, voisin de 1,5 secondes conduisant à l'obtention d'un sel de qualité insuffisante.The residence time in the incinerator, defined by the ratio of the volume of the combustion zone to the air flow rate is close to 3 seconds, a longer residence time not bringing a significant improvement in the result and a time shorter stay, close to 1.5 seconds, leading to insufficient quality salt.

Il est particulièrement avantageux d'introduire la totalité de l'air comburant au sommet de la chambre de combustion de façon à améliorer l'efficacité du brûlage.It is particularly advantageous to introduce all of the combustion air at the top of the combustion chamber so as to improve the efficiency of the burning.

Le refroidissement des fumées est assuré par la vapeur d'eau obtenue et il est amélioré par adjonction d'un refroidissement par l'air afin de diminuer encore le taux des substances organiques non brûlées.The cooling of the fumes is ensured by the water vapor obtained and it is improved by the addition of air cooling in order to further decrease the level of unburned organic substances.

Equipped with 3 crown burners with a total heating capacity of 10,000 therms / h, at 120 ° from each other, oriented in such a way that the axis of a burner, the end of which is located at a distance of the axis of the furnace close to a third of its diameter, is directed towards the projection of the end of the neighboring burner on a plane, perpendicular to the axis of the furnace, located at a distance from the end of the burners approximately double the diameter of the furnace, supplied with liquid or gaseous fuel, the aqueous effluent being sprayed into the flame at an angle close to 90 °, such an incinerator makes it possible to burn 3 to 6 tonnes per hour of aqueous effluents.
